You seem to be wasting time talking anyway so don't be shy lol. I just asked for evidence and you're acting all snooty. You need help.

Where is this magical server side anti cheat? You do realise that kernel level anti cheats have a server side component to them? Vanguard doesn't run entirely on the client side. It's server side too, that's why every Valorant pro tournament has to be run online with private servers. So even if a pro were to use Word.exe on a tournament machine it would be detected via Vanguard. Which itself is a combination of server side heuristics and local machine based code.

I am not a "kernel level anti cheat fan." Unlike you I actually work with software. I have a degree and I do actual software engineering. I've developed games too. So I understand a lot about this stuff. And I've played enough games full of cheaters to be sick of them. I hate riot vanguard as much as you do. But I live with it because I want to enjoy a game without wondering whether the other person is cheating or not. I've yet to see any negative effects of Vanguard. None of my data has been stolen, and I don't even store any data on my computer. It's just for games.

Do you have an example of an anti cheat that works better than Vanguard? Please provide sources. Just like I did. You can cry about bias all you want. I provided two sources comparing similar games. One was reports from players and one was reports from the Devs. Riot reports 1/100 games have detected cheaters. CS2 player base is reporting much higher, just by looking at the thread.

If VAC was so good surely Valve would release some numbers right?

Might be the most insufferable Dev in the industry.

"I was only pretending to act like an idiot"

And you double down. Redditor sounding like an AI chatbot. Get fucked.

Why do you sound like a 12th grader who just discovered Reddit? "You've passed the idiot test!" 🤓🤓🤓

Cringiest comment I've ever seen in my life. Goodbye cunt.

That's a car not a video game. You don't need to insult me you dimwit. Apples and oranges.

I asked you to provide evidence of the rampant cheating problem in valorant as compared to games without kernel level anti cheat. The theory being, if valorant has less cheaters than let's say, CS, that means a kernel level anti cheat is more effective than VAC at deterring cheating.

Of course that's just a theory. No one has evidence for anything 🙂

Can you please provide evidence that valorant has more or less cheaters than CS2, scaled by player base. Hearsay and personal experience aren't facts. I personally have not encountered more than 1 cheater in valorant whereas with other games without kernel level anti cheat, every other lobby has one.

"there is still value of having an anti cheat even though it does not have a high chance of catch cheaters"

That doesn't make any sense. LOL. What's the value then of the anti cheat?

[–] arankays@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 day ago (14 children)

What do you mean definition of effective lmfao. An anti cheat should stop cheaters. If I go on counter strike and I find a cheater then that anti cheat is ineffective. If I go on valorant and don't find a cheater that is effective. It's not that complicated.

 

Hey y'all,

There's currently a sale on the Samsung S10+ tablet which I decided to buy out of curiosity. I am absolutely blown away by how good the screen is. I currently own a Pixel 9 so I'm definitely an AMOLED snob and the Samsung software has come a long way. Dex is also a great feature.

However I find it to be a bit too big and heavy with a case and the one accessory which solves the problem the official keyboard case, is 200+ dollars. I am considering returning it as it's a pretty massive investment for what is essentially a YouTube machine.

I just wanted to crowdsource some opinions and see what my options are. I'm considering waiting for an S9 to go on sale instead but the S9 won't be supported as long as the S10+. The pixel tablet is also on sale so it's an option if I can live with a 60hz screen.
