Interesting phishing attempt? Or something else?
  • Do NOT click the link. Instead, go to google.com yourself, go to your account settings, and "check activity". If there's anything suspicious (like an attempted login from another country), reset password and ensure 2FA is enabled. Otherwise, you can safely ignore/delete the email. (But still enable 2FA for better protection)

  • Rule
  • Surprising that Boneworks wasn't mentioned. The whole game is physics based puzzles, meaning you can either solve them, or stack a couple boxes and jump really high. These types of solutions are encouraged in the game, and there's a couple puzzles I've never even solved because the walls were too low.

  • Freenginx: A Fork of NGINX
  • Afaik the bug was never present in a release. The developer who quit had to jump through a bunch of hoops, and treat it as a security issue, when it only affected people running the latest git commit.

  • Steam Deck has quietly become a reasonably capable ray tracing handheld
  • Nvidia does not make x86 SoCs. Even if Valve goes with a separate Nvidia dGPU like in laptops, they would have to abandon their last 10+ years of Linux work, and goals of having a platform which isn't controlled by Microsoft.

  • Beeper couldn’t bring iMessage to Android — but it can still make a great chat app
  • I don't have a direct source other than the source code of the software they use: https://github.com/mautrix/signal

    When using one of their "cloud hosted" bridges, the bridge software (that connects between Matrix/Beeper and other protocols) has to read all message content. Otherwise, it's impossible to bridge to another protocol. E2EE becomes end (other users) to bridge (beeper) encryption.

    With "local hosted" bridges, E2EE stays intact, but messages can't be sent/received if the device hosting the bridge is unavailable.

    In the future, with MLS (a different E2EE protocol), it could be possible to keep E2EE even when bridging to Matrix on cloud hosted bridges.

  • Easy anti cheat-- is this malware or harmful for the steam deck?
  • On the Steam Deck, while using SteamOS (or other Linux distros), EAC (and a few others like Battleye) run in userspace, not as kernel level.

    The intention of Anti-Cheat and DRM is to hide what they're doing, in an attempt to prevent people from cheating or pirating. Malware often uses similar techniques to hide what it's doing.

    Kernel level Anti-Cheat runs with the highest level of permission on your system, meaning it has access to everything happening on your PC, and all your hardware.

    That means kernel level Anti-Cheat can do whatever it wants on your computer, and it's intentionally hard to figure out what it's doing. Even though it's probably not harmful, it shares a lot of similarities with actual malware, and we can't be fully sure whether it is harmful or not. This is why a lot of people are against kernel level Anti-Cheat.

    EAC, afaik, has acted as just an anti cheat, and is therefore likely not harmful to your system. However, like other Anti-Cheats, it is harmful with the standards being set.

  • Digital Foundry tested a bunch of Unreal Engine 5 games on Steam Deck
  • That's, very odd. Just watched the bit about TP2 in the video, and I'm getting nowhere near that on my Steam Deck (non-oled).

    Setting everything to low, and FSR performance, it looks awful. There's very obvious upscaling artifacting, especially during motion. Performance is playable at about 30-40 fps, except in the "starting hub" of the game, where performance can dip to 10fps at times (although no real gameplay occurs there).

    With everything being set so low, LODs are clearly visible, even on the small screen. Gaps in signs, thin walls, and stairs are visible from ~5 in game meters away.

    On the settings they show in the video, with a fresh save, I get similar numbers in the first couple minutes of the game, but FPS tanks after that. On a save further into the game, I'm getting maybe 20fps (50 when staring at the floor).

    The game is still very playable on the lowest settings, and if you're into puzzle games like The Talos Principle, it's still a good experience. I'm not normally one to stream my games from my PC, but The Talos Principle 2 is just a better experience with more powerful hardware.
