They are predicting the pixel layout of the user's screen, prerendering the passwords, and then transmitting them as images?!

That's commitment to crisp text rendering!

The article seems to have misunderstood the stats that he provided.

He was showing crashes of a single component of Nvidia drivers while running Warframe. Any crashes within Warframe proper aren't included.

It still demonstrates that a CPU flaw is causing stability issues in areas that are rock-solid for everyone else.

The lack of pressure leads to absurd file sizes for silly things.

A few weeks ago, I needed a vector company logo, so I asked our graphics team for one. The file they sent me was 6MB. While working with it, I noticed it was actually quite clean, so I exported it as an SVG and it came out to 2KB. 1/3000th the size for the exact same graphic.

I opened their file up in a text editor and found font configs for specific printer models (in a graphic with only filled curves), conditional logic, multiple thumbnails, and other junk.

Banks like to think that branch employees (bank tellers) are sales people. Most of them give 'goals' to each employee requiring them to open a certain number of new accounts, land a certain number of loans, etc each week/month. It isn't ethical since the only people you can really sell on those services are the ones who should least get them. Anyone who actually wants/needs the services will come to you.

Wells Fargo differed from the rest of the industry by setting completely impossible goals, not just unethical ones. This led to them developing a culture where signing people up for services they didn't agree to became commonplace.

That's exactly what it is. Firefox's advanced tracking protection blocks connections to social media sites from other sites so that social media can't see your behavior on the rest of the Internet.

Twitter started moving some things to a different domain and FF saw it as a third-party, blocking connections from it to the old Twitter domains.

Yet another reason the rebrand is dumb.

Factorio is the best manufacturing/logistics sim by a huge margin. Some of that is technical things, but the biggest contributor is game balance and the complexity curve. They spent years iterating to find a sweet spot.

The regulatory agency is pretty large, but it's headed by a 5-member commission.

The first game has a weird gameplay loop where you get to a city that is very similar to the previous one, have to do a some filler missions (often with no story at all) to unlock the story mission, then do the story mission and move on.

2-Syndicate are much more continuously story-driven. They all have quite a few collectables, but they aren't important to experiencing the game.

The 2 family is mostly set inside cities, while 3 and after have more world around the cities. They also lose some focus on stealth over time, though it still exists in all of them.

Origins, Odyssey, and Valhalla become much more RPG-lite, combat focused, and require you to do quite a bit to keep up with enemy level scaling.

Looping back to the root of your question, the 2 family is often seen as the peak of the core series, with 4 (Black Flag) being up with it but different.

The only downside of the 2 family is that there isn't much evolution between the three games to make moving to the next game feel like a jump to a new game, but progression is lost each time. It feels like one massive game with weird break points.

Yeah, I've taken a breath in a high-CO2 environment a few times. The whole body freaks out instantly. Not fun.

It wasn't. 5 said the text means the opposite of what it says. Four said enforcing it is up to the federal courts, not state courts. Two wildly different opinions with the only thing in common being overturning the state ruling.

They come freshly certified. The operator is then responsible for regular checks at a variety of intensities as the aircraft ages.

The incident aircraft was delivered three months ago.

My wife and I had the same opinion. Magical to run around the castle for a few hours and do the early classes, surprisingly good combat mechanics, but then... Nothing.

It is really hurt by the inclusion of brooms. They necessitate a huge world so you can't cross it in a minute, but then it's too spread out and empty. At least in Ghost Recon my world-design-crippling flying devices have rockets and gattling guns.
