God of War Ragnarok PC requires a PSN account.
  • Are there any cases of such payout actually happening...? I'm not buying it. (Literally and figuratively.)

  • Talking Point: Would You Watch A New Stargate Show? » GateWorld
  • The main character is frankly unbearable. Super unlikeable, overly emotional (despite being Vulcan)

    What? You're talking about Michael Burnham, no? She's 100% human. She grew up with Vulcans, but that's very different.

  • Men with 'toxic masculinity' are more likely to make sexual advances without consent, study finds
  • I wouldn't say it's the definition, but I agree this is not surprising.
    Toxic masculinity is much more though. Men bullying men because they do something "not manly" is toxic masculinity. It can be anything from not enjoying sports to showing emotion for any reason (even crying if a family member died).

  • The level of engagement on Reddit these days
  • Yeah, I see a ton of this under random.
    Here's my front page at this very moment: https://i.imgur.com/4IsJ68f.png

  • when you upgrade an OS, do you clean install or upgrade?
  • I don't think I've ever made a "clean upgrade" on Linux. I've done the opposite though, that is, bring an old install over to a new computer.

  • Is RAID1 over USB Reliable?
  • Always use /dev/disk/* (I use by-id) for RAID, as those links will stay constant even if a disk is renamed (for example, from sdb to sdd).

  • Steam Deck game library now 29% larger than that of Nintendo Switch
  • Because the games that run on the Steam Deck are PC games, no emulation required. It's a joke.

  • Name & shame. :)
  • Ah, that makes more sense. I looked up the original abstract and indeed it looks more like what you'd expect (hard to comprehend for someone that's not in the field).

    Though to clarify (for others reading this) they still did use generative AI to (help?) write the paper, which is only part of why it was withdrawn.

  • Using Google whilst Duck Duck Go is down. How long has Google been this bad?
  • Same here. I switched to DDG last year, but had to go back within two weeks; it was just too annoying.
    Google search results have indeed gotten pretty bad, but I've yet to see anyone surpass them.

  • Name & shame. :)
  • The entire abstract is AI. Even without the explicit mention in one sentence, the rest of the text should've been rejected as nonspecific nonsense.

  • Does anyone really need a 1,000 Hz gaming display?
  • Not obvious at all. Motion blur at high movement speeds makes things unreadable even at 540 Hz, proving that even at 540 Hz there is still plenty of motion blur that the human eye can see.

    As the video says: "Yes, your eyes really are capable of seeing this in real life"

  • New 9/11 Evidence Points to Deep Saudi Complicity
  • Did you post evidence 20 years ago? Otherwise it's not worth much more than "jet fuel can't melt steel beams".

  • Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs admits he beat ex-girlfriend Cassie: ‘I take full responsibility’
  • If you truly do separate the art from the artist there's no need to defend the artist.
    I sometimes listen to a few black metal albums made by completely insane people, but I'd never defend their actions; quite the opposite.

  • 32TB hard drives are incoming according to Toshiba
  • ZFS has triple parity support for RAID-Z (basically RAID-5/RAID-6/RAID-7 with better data safety guarantees), so there's that.

  • ASUS Scammed Us
  • The X370 Taichi was considered one of the best boards of the generation, so I'm pretty sure they improved.
    Mine's still going strong in a friend's computer 7 years later, with a Ryzen 5600.

  • Two chemists walk into a bar
  • And on kbin it shows as strikethrough, so the 2s are crossed out.

  • An Engineer Says He’s Found a Way to Overcome Earth’s Gravity
  • Why would anyone want to kill him if this were true? It would be a dream for NASA and everybody else working in space flight.

    FWIW I'd bet almost anything this will be as useful as the EmDrive.

  • Windows 10 reaches 70% market share as Windows 11 keeps declining
  • I literally haven't had ANY of those problems running Windows 10 or 11 FWIW, not have any of my friends or relatives.

    I'm not anti-Linux or anything though, have used it for 26 years now, but only briefly on the desktop.

  • Alan Wake 2 dev won't speculate on Steam release, but 'hope gamers find it on the Epic Games Store'
  • Is the difference between them and Steam really that great in practice though? This link has 30583 games that seem to only exist on Steam. But yeah, there's probably no paid deals involved. Still not a huge difference in practice IMO.

  • exscape exscape @kbin.social

    redditor since 2008, hoping kbin/the Fediverse can entirely replace it.
