Everyone should be using minimumReleaseAge (or their package managers equivalent) to block installing recently updated packages.

Same. I had to choose between this and the new Resident Evil. Went with RE just because it was £10 cheaper. I’ll wait on a sale for DS2.

IMO Iran could be the destabilising event that triggers the AI bubble burst.

Because there’s no plan for any of this?

Also Shapez 2 if you like factory games. They’re German

I switched to Bazzite last week. I was only using Windows for games anyway. Amazed how simple it was, everything ‘just worked’.

Appreciate that some multiplayer games won’t work, but Arc Raiders does and that’s all my group are playing at the moment.

Somehow I coped without an offer to subscribe to an office suite and cloud storage. Phew.

What the other replies shitting on macOS seem to be overlooking is the support Apple provides.

Got stuck on something? call the support line or web chat.

Want to go to a training session? go to a local store.

All this stuff is super important for a novice who wants to learn without feeling dependent on their tech friend.

Nvidia seem to be trying to rebrand them as ‘AI factories’, because factories means jobs. Only once the data center is built it employs maybe a dozen full time staff. There just isn’t any work to do, especially in a dc that is just for one massive client with racks and racks if identical equipment.

To whom?

It’s not that they don’t technically work. It’s just they’re no longer efficient compared to newer versions that can do more with less power. So to remain competitive you need to upgrade otherwise your cost to execute a model is too high.

Hyperscalers used to write GPU’s down to zero value after three years, over the last couple of years they’ve all increased this to six.

The trouble with the railways comparison is that after investing tons of cash the railways were built. With AI the GPUs have no value after 6 years (if that). So the investment must continue forever. It’s madness.

Or cut prices so $5 blackjack tables are a thing again with booze freely given while you gamble.

Yeah. It’s super annoying when visiting a foreign country and you want to install an app for a local transport provider. If they haven’t made their app available globally you just can’t install it.

What could possibly go wrong

I had to hunt to find them, they are proposed amendments and not yet part of the bill.

Go here https://bills.parliament.uk/bills/3909/publications

And expand out ‘Ammendment Papers’ and choose ‘ HL Bill 135 Running list of amendments – 22 December 2025‘

_ After Clause 27, insert the following new Clause—

“Action to prohibit the provision of VPN services to children in the United Kingdom (1) Within 12 months of the day on which this Act is passed the Secretary of State must, for the purpose of furthering the protection and wellbeing of children, make regulations which prohibit the provision to UK children of a Relevant VPN Service (the “child VPN prohibition”).

Glad to hear it

The ‘Legacy Cut’ a fan made 4k restoration and recut of Alien 3 is well worth a look. Much better than any of the released versions imo.

My friend group enjoyed Splitgate 1 but we just bounced off Splitgate 2. It just wasn’t fun. Portals seemed to be an afterthought, rather than fundamental to the gameplay. Also the maps we played seemed to be tighter and less arena based.

Still not sure why they decided to do ‘2’ rather than continuing to iterate on the first one really.
