It’s the ad networks fault. And it’s 1337x fault for using shitty ad network. But once you get into shadier and less commonly approved business, only options you have for ads are shitty networks that have nearly no ad vetting system. Which means sometimes you get shit like this happening.

I would bet this is actually multiple people sharing IP.

Many countries and ISPs that lack IPv4 pool many people under single public IP and then redistribute later to individual. Very rare at ISP level in NA but very common in SEA. Though VPNs also give the same effect. And there’s probably no country in earth more lacking in IP assignments than North Korea. The entire country shares measly four of /24 assignments which means roughly 1024 IPs for the entire country including all of infrastructure equipments that need IP assignments.

So likely a pool of people from NK show up under the same IP. They do physically connect through China entirely. But these few IP assignments that’s assigned to NK should show up as NK instead of China.

Speaking of VPNs, some VPN companies claim they have NK IP. Never tried myself, but if true people using that VPN and connecting to steam would also show up as a dot there. So they may not even be North Koreans.

And then builders remove a third to save money. Resulting with just barely standing building.

Sorry for Reddit, but check this out.

No more uncanny weird shit in latest. And this one is open source.

In the big picture of things, that doesn’t matter. As long as sufficient number of people are voting, they too are part of the statistic norm. Every title will have some people voting 10s and 1s. And rating scores are only meaningful as relative values. So a title with avg score of 9 is probably better than a title with avg score of 6. Instead of 9 or 6 is objectively bad or good.

They’re both in the domain of software and apps. Emulation is too much of a drilled down niche.

I googled but could not find source. I only found more memes based on this graph. Which isn’t to say it’s fake, could simply be in some research paper hidden away under a paywall. 15k sample is a very big study though.

The graph alone is highly problematic to make any argument though as it doesn’t specify other critical axis such as age which would highly change the meaning of this graph. The older you are, T levels fall, but your IQ increases. So age alone can potentially explain the phenomenon we’re seeing here.

My attempt to find the graph only resulted in many counter points, however.

• https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9845018/ looked at only young men and women, so the age no longer becomes an issue. But among young men, higher T is advantageous. I can only read the abstract without paying. But does outline three conclusions there.
• https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15878571/ studied only 5 year old children. Which again showed a positive relationship between T and intelligence in boys.
• https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/030645309190018O this study on “normal” men and women, though not sure how they define normal, showed a negative relationship. But this once again doesn’t define age in their study. Which continues with my previous point that simply older men will have lower T but higher IQ.
• Prenatal exposure to higher T also raised intelligence here: https://psychcentral.com/news/2011/03/14/testosterone-hormone-linked-to-higher-iq

Seems more like rules state everyone but cisgender men in the way they worded it. Trans-man would be included since it says anyone under the trans umbrella.

Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (eg non binary) is welcome

If people learn evolutionary psychology from tiktok (or Lemmy), I certainly can agree that it gets into whole lot of random shit stories of any predetermined intent, including bigotry.

But throwing away an entire field of academic study based on them and saying it’s impossible to draw causality is also ridiculous.

I suggest you read this article. Particularly in #7 if the misconceptions since that’s precisely what you write in your next, longer comment.

It’s a pdf from author’s website. But this link is still better than research gate. Couldn’t find any regular webpage that’s still up.

People should just ask AI. They’ll humor almost anything.

The backflow current from fans is extremely minuscule and extremely unlikely to damage anything from that. There are even tests using a damn leaf blower on the fans and it barely generated any current. Even if it did generate a backflow, diodes on the mobo should prevent it from becoming an issue unless it’s a power so great that it just fries everything, but that’s basically impossible with a fan.

Here’s one such experiment.

I thought I already replied to this, but apparently not. Sorry for the late response.

The start menu no longer has the windows 10 tiles. It’s just search and icons of apps you’ve pinned. Similar to phone app menu. You can put some into folders/groups together. And that’s it. There’s no further customization possible.

You can get third party solution to bring back more features such as Start11 from Stardock, but that means paying for an additional software and I’ve heard it gets buggy with windows updates.

Start menu is permanently lacking features. But besides that it’s not a major change. There is third party softwares that puts back 10 style or other start menus, but heard there are issues with windows updates. Besides that just get shutup10 again and tick stuff off. Pretty much solves it imo.

I finally upgraded to 11 last week by accident. Apparently one misclick means straight to next version with no cancel. So after the upgrade first thing I did was get o&o shutup10 to kill the spywares.

P.s. I know I can revert. But that’s also effort.

Yeah this is Lemmy so I can’t say your votes turned out unexpected. But you’re right, all this will do is make their job end quicker. There’s no money to give, Ubisoft is dying as is.

Patent troll means to get patents for purpose of litigation rather than to produce goods.

Wouldn’t work. This has nothing to do with Japanese customers or Japanese laws. These aren’t even in Japanese courts. It’s US patents.

Surprised it’s still online. Doubly surprised it’s still getting updates.

People are still on EA Origin? They forced ppl to update ages ago. Surprising they even still had the Origin running.

BG2 came out in 2000. It didn’t exactly have a huge sales happening in 2023 either. It was largely considered as a shelved IP. Yet BG3 came out with massive success. My point is that you have no point. DA was (I would say “is” if veilguard wasn’t such a horrible piece of shit) a strong IP with or without inquisitions long tail given from past sales alone. No one ever goes and says their best selling product ever is a weak IP. It’s completely bollocks that you’re framing it as a weakening IP. Clearly BioWare thought it was strong too since they’ve spent huge amount of budget into veilguard. You’re presuming you know more than their huge investment and sales projection team about Inquisition sales.

Besides, how would you even know if Inquisition had a long tail or not? You have no figures, this game was released exclusively on ea platform at first and continued to be for a long time until it was finally released on steam. I know, because I remember begrudgingly buying it on ea origin. Steam’s public data in this is hardly a meaningful pie. My 12m Inquisition data on sales was their Sept 2024 release info. Which I assume BioWare released to imply a long tail and and continued popularity to get more sales into veilguard. But let’s not assume.

Btw, I didn’t say you said it didn’t have a lot of sales either.
