For comparison, Sony’s DualSense is 75 USD when not on sale.

Is there a single-player offline mode?

Edit: Yes, apparently:

A few bits of dialogue for those who haven’t played the Alice games:

batteries that can maintain an 80% capacity level after 1,000 cycles aren’t covered by the new rulings.

So most people who want to reclaim 100% capacity after 2-3 years of use won’t be able to do it themselves. How disappointing.

SCTP was going to do that too. It hasn’t seen much uptake.

SCTP has a major obstacle in that the internet is full of middleboxes that will never support it, because it’s not TCP or UDP. QUIC deliberately addresses that by being plain old UDP. Routers, firewalls, etc. don’t have to know anything about it in order to handle it.

Highlights

• Low neighborhood opportunity was associated with higher CDKN2A expression.
• CDKN2A is a key marker of cellular senescence and biological aging.
• Associations were strongest for social and economic opportunity.
• Results are consistent with models of socially patterned aging.

Seems like they could be experimenting with an LLM to improve server-side anti-cheat.

It also claimed these websites had seen cumulative downloads of 3.2m in just three months this year - from 28th February and 28th May - resulting “in an estimated loss of $170m”.

In other words:

• They assumed that every download was by someone who would otherwise have paid over 53 USD for it, which by itself is an absurd delusion.
• They described imaginary money that they never had in the first place as “losses”, which is a plain lie. You can’t lose something that you never had.

Given that both these blatant falsehoods match the propaganda that big media parasite corporations started pushing a few decades ago, it seems pretty clear who the taxpayer-funded FBI is working for.
