There actually are updates to it as for the last three years Microsoft has continued to patch it under the commercial “Extended Security Update” program - that only ended in January 2023.
You just couldn’t get them as a home user without doing a lot of tweaking on your own.
Ah, the Desire Z was amazing. Used to play doom and pokemon in it as well, the keyboard worked great as a controller.
Nope, and even if there was it would be from Russian sources so you couldn’t really trust it anyway. Kremlin says they had nothing to do with the plane crash either, but, you know.
Countless services exist where you can buy captcha solving, though currently it’s done by actual humans in developing countries for tiny pay. Yet another job that’s going to soon be replaced by AI, though this time it almost certainly will result in some people starving to death.
But there would be no-one to do so. In a copyrightless world George R.R Martin would need to have another job to pay the bills and wouldn’t be able to dedicate his time for writing, and HBO or anyone else pouring massive amounts of money to create shows also wouldn’t be able to exist as they would gain no profit from what they do as their creations would also be in the public domain. Unless you live in an utopia with universal income and replicators that completely eradicate any need for money or ownership of anything, copyright itself as a concept is vital, the issue is just how corrupted the current system has become - which is mostly due to the greed of Disney.
To give an example, if all books were automatically public domain HBO could have created Game of Thrones without paying George R.R. Martin a single cent for it, then publish and sell “Game of Thrones: The Book”, aka the entire Song of Ice and Fire series, again without paying him anything and stealing all of his profit in the process.
Not yet. But mysk has said he wants to make X like WeChat, which has payment and sending money as one of the key features.
In a way they are as there is no “men only” tournaments. There is open for all, and a few women only. You just won’t see any women in the open for all tournaments as they fail to qualify so ending the womens tournaments would just result in having no female competitors at all.
Having the current best female chess player, Hou Yifan, be at rank 55 and be the third woman ever to be in the top 100, while the second best woman, Aleksandra Goryachkina, is at rank 347, doesn’t exactly paint a very gender-balanced playing field.
If the service is decent enough with servers close by, it really isn’t bad at all. In a PCgamer test, the input latency for Metro Exodus and Destiny 2 went from 46ms and 51ms local to 96ms and 75ms from GeForce Now, and 179ms and 129ms from Stadia.
For comparison, back when Tekken 7 was released on the PS4, it had 120ms of input lag.
I believe the automatic archiving has to be manually enabled by going to the settings, selecting the general tab and enabling “Auto save page”.
Currently you don’t.
The real underlying issue for this all is that the “Hot” sorting algorithm Lemmy (and Kbin) uses is terrible - if someone posts the same thing in 5 different big & popular (i.e “hot”) communities at the same time, there’s a good chance you’ll see all those five posts all next to each other on your feed even if one has 100 votes and the others have 30 - note how they are all “6 hours ago”.
