Cars can't actually drive down this road anymore. The only vehicle traffic allowed through this area is busses turning around and taking their breaks at the end of the line.

I guess you can technically access parts of this road through the alley way but there are definitely bollards up at the Broadway end and the other end is right turn only for busses. This area is not high vehicle traffic

"Anti-piracy technologies is to the benefit of the game publishers, [but also] is of benefit to the players in that it protects the [publisher's] investment and it means the publishers can then invest in the next game"

The only entity benefiting in this scenario is Denuvo, while the client clutches their pearls to protect a misguided concept of the elusive lost sale. Denuvo rakes in cash in the name of copy protection, but the truth is most acts of piracy are driven by a lack of means to obtain the product or a desire to demo the product.

Sure it's their right to protect it but I don't think there's any accurate way to actually measure the impact of games with and without such aggressive copy protection.

Google is testing this with some owners of the Pixel 6 and newer devices in the US. Tensor is clearly required and this suggests on-device AI is being leveraged. The goal is to “enhance our Call Screen capabilities and reduce robocalls, giving you time back and peace of mind.”

What devices can receive the beta?

Devices that may receive this beta will be the Pixel 6 and above, within the United States.

How can I check my Call Screen Settings to enable/disable the feature?

You can check out this helpful article for steps on checking your Call Screen settings.

When will this become available for everyone?

We’re looking forward to sharing more when the feature launches.

Only reason I installed it is for it's ability to use GitHub releases as a source and notify me if there are updates. As far as I'm aware you have to use f-droid repositories with f-droid -- but it's been a long time since I had f-droid installed.

GitHub + obtabium for automatic updates

Install Lutris.

Use the battle net install helper for Lutris.

Launch battle net.

Profit.

It's like one extra step (install Lutris) compared to Windows. Using Linux doesn't have to be some archaic mystery and the proliferation of the steam deck is doing wonders at improving the ease of use of all this stuff.

Spoiler alert: your individual choices don't matter. Drastic and sweeping changes need to be made at the corporate/supply chain level if we have any hope of surviving this.

So... We're fucked.
