I feel like we go through this every time Bethesda releases a game. Yes, every other engine is just as old. I'm sure there's some ut99 code still in unreal, and maybe some quake code in source 2. The difference is those other engines already work pretty well, and have improved over time. The creation engine is still somehow just as janky every time, and somehow still has bugs dating back to skyrim or oblivion. I want to believe they can fix it, but their track record does not inspire confidence.

The GBA was region free, but Nintendo was region locking their consoles from the start. For example, the n64 is capable of playing games from any region, but the Japanese games had different tabs, and wouldn't fit in a US console without modding the slot.

Well good news, you can still do bluetooth on a phone that has a headphone jack.

And it wasn’t made to be repairable.

And wireless earbuds are? How many earbud batteries crap out after less than a year? I really don't think jamming tiny lithium batteries into everything is the more sustainable option here.

It started as minetest, an open source minecraft clone. It has since developed into a full voxel engine, supporting community made game modes and modpacks.

It can't, but I'm sure that wouldn't stop Spotify from raising a stink if they see it being bulk imported. I'd imagine this would be similar to OpenStreetMaps and Google Maps; they probably could scrape and bulk import missing info, but they restrict it to licensed sources and user edits to limit liability and enforce quality.

That's exactly what they're doing on the steam frame. I guess we'll see how it works out there.

At this point I genuinely believe OpenAI knows they're doomed. They are putting all their effort into these massive deals, trying to tie themselves to as many other companies as they can until they are "too big to fail". Then when they go bankrupt, trump won't allow the stock market to crash, so the government will step in and pay everyone out. Maybe these other companies are just trying to get in on the grift while they can.

Why is it scrambled? To keep people from copying it?

Yes. Common practice to hide your code from the user, or potential rivals. I think they've been obfuscating the whole time, even back in Notch days.

It was kinda pointless in this case, and was the reason why mod updates were slow between versions, even for simple mods.

They will both point to the bad door.

If asking the thruthful guard, he will point to the door the liar says is safe, which would be the bad door. If asking the liar, he would consider what the thruthful guard says is safe, then reverse that answer, still ending up on the bad door.

They cancel out, so whichever guard you ask doesn't matter.

Looks like the house was right on the water. It's possible their only escape from the house was onto the beach or into the water.

Similar idea to powerline adapters, except over coax lines instead.

Winner takes all only applies to presidential elections. In this case, they are redistricting for more congressional seats.
