Will this kill Windows and make Linux the most popular OS?

That is some voodoo magic that almost nobody understands because, believe it or not, most people aren't system administrators and can barely handle a Windows machine let alone a rollback. When an average user is confronted with this issue they only have 3 options:
1. Pay someone to repair the PC.
2. Sell it on eBay flagged as "broken". Then buy a Windows machine or a MacBook.
3. Throw away the PC. Then buy a Windows machine or a MacBook.

Hytale uses QUIC for multiplayer. What do you think about it? Is this the first reasonably popular game that implements multiplayer over QUIC instead of using TCP or their own custom protocol on top of UDP?

Minecraft Java Edition literally uses TCP for everything, what do you mean? It's pretty well known, but here's written proof of it: https://minecraft.wiki/w/Java_Edition_protocol/Packets#Definitions

>>107831502
I think it's neat, but my primary interest is in WebTransport which implements "bidirectional, multiplexed, and unreliable/ordered delivery" over it. Sadly that's still in development hell. Quic by itself, all I can say is it's cool how they improved aspects of it beyond TCP and the backing from Goog makes it play nice, but mandatory encryption is mixed blessing. Sure, it guarantees integrity of packets (the major value add in gaming), but packet tampering for videogames doesn't really impact most players, and you pay a huge cost for encryption in return. As with most things, it ultimately depends on the game and the engineering tradeoffs you want to make.

Mullvad recommends QUIC. How true is what you're saying?

Hey what's the best way to deal with a scammer who took over someone's discord account?

Long story short I had a really close friend on discord only (rookie mistake but I didn't want to push then for anything personal =3)

And some scammers took over the account and are demanding 200 dollars . . . They first tried to scam me by pretending to be her to get me to give them money but it was obviously not the person so now their trying to scam me to maybe get info on contacting my friend :(

It makes me really sad and I was wondering if any of you fine folk might know what to do . . . Im not sure what the proper way to figure this out is frens. . .

>And I doubt they actually have the info; I feel like their just lying to try and scam more money as they tried a scam earlier

Any nice hacker folks who hate scammers about and might know a trick or two that could be pulled =3

This person was really a special person and I'd genuienly be a much sadder person if I never got to talk to them again.

Like I reported them to discord and nothing happened so idk what to do frens . . .

>Any nice hacker folks who hate scammers about and might know a trick or two that could be pulled =3
the fuck do you expect someone to just "hack back" the account? You have to be 18+ to post here.

The only way an account can be lost so irrecoverably is because they lost their 2fa sources (email/phone number) too.

And what the fuck will you do IF you ever get the account back? You have no way of informing the former owner that their account has been recovered besides maybe digging through the emails and doxing.

If you go to exotic materials such as InP you can achieve simply grotesque swithing times of less than one ps. That is ps, not ns.

How come C# isn't more popular when it's basically Java but better? Is it because people distrust a language maintained by Microsoft, or does the JVM have non-obvious but crucial advantages over the CLR?

I don't care about /g/'s obsession with "bloat".

>>107835222
of course the binaries are relatively large because they need to incorporate the runtime.
if 50 MB or whatever the size is, is too much for you, then it doesn't fit your use case.
most people using those languages don't need compilation to native.

But C# runs on Linux these days. Do you think they aren't using it because the consequences of C# being cross-platform haven't propagated yet, or they distrust Microsoft enough that they wouldn't have chosen C# even if it had always been cross-platform?

Using "faggots" just makes you sound unhinged. Phone upgrades are discretionary; RAM is a core, recurring PC component cost. Your "support" for price hikes is just admitting you enjoy others' frustration, which is pathetic.

This simple idea of having 2 USB-C ports CANNOT be done because it stops the zoomer from buying wireless ear buds(battery inside will always go to shit and unusable in ~3 years)

and you would be stuck using extremely affordable, high quality audio headphones or in ear buds(that are a bit too green for the planet in 2026)

also the 3.5mm headphone jack looks like a penis that goes inside a hole and basically why aren't you a wireless, constantly charging gay trans in 2026 right now.

If I'm outside I'm at work, at the store, at an appointment, or enjoying the outdoors.
In all of those cases I would want earbuds attached to my keyring. I'm going to guess most people are the same way.
The only time I brought my wireless over the ear headphones outside my house was when I lost one of my earbuds, and had to wait a few days for their replacements.

No, as others have said.

If you have the autism and patience for it, start with your own engine. For the love of God don't get memed into reading C&R C book or any books at all at the start, just pick a language (Odin is probably a good start) and try to get things done in steps (e.g. create a window, then draw a triangle, so on so forth) by looking up how each one is done (this is even easier nowadays since AI will give you the answer in 10 seconds whereas you used to have to google for it which was at least 10 times slower).

If not, pick up Unity (easier) or Unreal (harder, but C++ will teach you somewhat real programming) and basically do the same: set a small goal, achieve it looking up the steps as they come, rinse repeat.
