He's covered many topics that involve heat pumps, the refrigeration cycle, or latent heat in some capacity. The joke is that he somehow always ends up explaining the refrigeration cycle.

    I might be able to snag that same model with an i5-6500 for around 60€. Could you tell me more about your experience with it? In particular, how are the thermals and the power consumption, can it handle 1Gb/s on both ethernet ports, and have you encountered any compatibility issues with OPNsense?

    The borrow checker is a feature in the compiler. It only ensures that the source code doesn't violate its rules at compile time, and if it does, stops the compilation and shows an error message. If the borrow checker is disabled, the code will be compiled even if borrowing rules are violated (as long as the source code is otherwise valid).

    In short: removing the borrow checker turns Rust into C.

    The problem is not the high-level solution. If the anti-cheat does what they claim -- great.

    If.

    The problem is that EACv2 itself is unverified machine code running with elevated privileges. Unless the source code is released, it will be impossible to know what kinds of shenanigans it engages in. It demands that users trust it implicitly, along with the people and clankers that wrote it, the mistakes they made, and the people and interests they are beholden to.

    Trust should be earned, and the fact that people have been indoctrinated to give it away freely should be deeply concerning to everyone.

    The first game I ever paid for, but did not directly purchase, was Garry's Mod in 2011 or 2012 after UndeadPatch stopped working. I didn't have a bank account, so I paid a classmate in cash to gift it to me. Considering that I first learned programming through Wiremod's Expression 2 chip (basically a virtual ESP32), leading directly to my computer science studies and my current job as a sysadmin, I'd say it was $10 well spent.

    My first purchase on Steam was "The Classic", a sniper rifle in TF2, just to remove my account's F2P trading restriction.

    Then I got a whole bunch of games through Humble Bundle's subscription. The first one was December of 2018, specifically for MGSV.

    The first game I ever actually bought, actually on Steam, was Slay The Spire.
