I don’t think people realise how generous steam is by allowing Devs to sell steam keys on other platforms and still handle all the distribution and updates and everything for a key they didn’t get paid for, and all they ask is you give the same or better deal to customers who purchase direct through steam
Given that steam let’s you sell keys on other platforms (like gog, gmg, etc) and activate them on steam, and have steam handle all the heavy work of file distribution and stuff, it makes sense that steam wouldn’t want you to sell steam keys cheaper on other platforms and make them wear all the cost of distribution… Otherwise they’d get no sales and end up with all the expense
The only other choice would be to no longer allow you to get steam keys to sell on other platforms or even to give away for review purposes or things like that.
My guess is similar to Intel XeSS where that’s pretty much what it does, runs the game at lower resolution and uses the npu to upscale it in real-time

The biggest difference that this might bring is IF it can work with any game rather than just specific ones
In other words, a big customer finally got effected
Many years ago I had a Facebook account under my real name, and they blocked it and told me to verify … I did everything they asked and they wouldn’t accept it… I recreated it under a fake name (very obvious it’s fake since it uses a celeb name) and have been using it for messaging a couple of friends for like a decade now with no issue
That sounds like the start of a horror movie
It’s got romance, action, comedy, fantasy, safe for kids and families… Covers most groups
You can do this pretty easily using asterisk and then just point your VoIP clients to it’s IP address
But…
Whatever you do, unless you’re an expert with network security, don’t leave it on its default port if you’ll expose it to the internet.
You’ll have that many bots trying to get in that it’ll DDoS you within a few hours of setting it up. Even if you have it on a different port, you’ll have lots of bots trying to get in.
If you ever see those “unlimited international calls” cards sold in third world countries for like $5-10, those are mostly hacked VoIP systems that have accounts or access to a phone line
This looks great, I don’t suppose you plan on a pre-made docker container?
Many ways around that these days. Dynamic DNS, CloudFlare tunnels, tailscale funnel, reverse SSH tunnels, etc
My setup uses a reverse proxy hosted on a free Oracle VPS that feeds through tailscale VPN, so it doesn’t really matter where the devices are connected, as long as they are connected to the tailscale VPN, the reverse proxy on the vps can serve the stuff
I run Plex and about 30 other things including my own website through it all without any issues
With the fediverse, Don’t forget the government’s that have started up their own mastodon instances, and larger news orgs like bbc
Similar boat, I would last about 4-8 days without medical intervention (dialysis and other regular treatments I need)
For a bit of context for those not too familiar with CDN stuff. My web server hosts about 20 small business websites. None are heavy on images or video or anything else. Most sites have well under 1k visitors a day, some are under 100.
Each month CloudFlare CDN saves me between 40-60gb of traffic which is nothing my server couldn’t handle, but over a year is ~600gb in saved data so it adds up
If you had a Lemmy instance with even just 100 active users, with all the images and videos and all the federated background communications, that would add up extremely quickly.

Also pill cutter seriously? Heard of knifes?
This coming from the nation that invented the guillotine
My comment was made partly in jest as it’s a very obviously written pro Chinese article… My point was that it was so far fetched it might as well be satire
So propoganda it is… Still feels like something the onion would write
This has to be either blatant propaganda or the onion… I can’t tell which because it’s so ridiculous it has to be satire
It’s a shitty situation that’s causing mods and users alike a lot of frustration and might be a bit before it’s sorted.
Unfortunately I think this is something that will need to be dealt with Federation wide before it’s under control… But even then it’ll still add a lot of extra ongoing work to the mods of instances and communities just to clean up anything that gets through
Samsung messages was using RCS since 2012… Years before Google messages adopted it.
There are others out there that use it but call it by different names like “advanced messaging”, “SMS+” etc
Google was the first to add e2e encryption and push it hard though, but if you send a RCS message from Google messages to Samsungs messages app, it won’t have e2e, and most likely will be the same with messaging Apple.
But given how much Apple have fought to make it hard (or at least inconvenient) to message between them, and shut down any apps that made messaging between Apple and Android better, this is a big step for Apple
