  • Yea. DNS is just an address book (name to IP). There’s a bit more to how it is structured, but it’s not that complicated.

    Actually thinking about it, they would not have to remove the “domain” (tiktok.com or whatever it is), they (tiktok) would just have to stop using it for business. They could like put a banner that says “tiktok is no longer avalible here” or whatever.

    Other part is IP. As you said, you could just change what dns server your phone asks for IPs and use it like normal. The government could block the IP at the big nodes going out of the country. Then you would have to use a vpn. Idk what they (usa or tiktok) have done, but I know tiktok will not actively try to skirt around it and will remove themselves. I would expect someone stupid like musky to try something, but big companies are usually serious.

    Anyway, they can’t stop vpns. But vpns are a pain for regular folk.

    I remember it from a youtube video from one of those engineering channels (might have been “real engineering”) probably a year ago. I only remember it because I thought “wow they have to have so many safeties” and that it is good to draw on parts and such instead of just relying on technical drawings.

    I don’t remember, but it might not have crashed (multiple sensors), and it might not have had a latch/notch. But it was a long time ago.

    Edit: I still remember the big yellow arrow.

    30%, same as apple, gog and… Well epic takes less then 15, microsoft takes even less, itch also takes less (unclear to me if 10% or set your own).

    Anyway steam is only good for game makers because it is steam. Financially that is, because it is the biggest.

    Edit: Itch default is 10%, but you can set it to 0% or even up to 100% if you want.





  • People here have no idea how any of this works, or why the lighting was off.

    CRT monitors did not display light intensity linearly. Remember gamma ? That was it, gamma correction. Gpu chips at the time practically had to have that in. And it didn’t even matter that much if it was a bit off because our eyes are not linear. Like remember quake ? Nobody cared quake was not color accurate.

    The gpu manufacturers knew it all, be it nvidia, ati, 3dfx. Color spaces were well known, and nobody had a color accurate monitor at home anyway. Even today you can buy a monitor that’s way off.

    Maybe that guy did get them to care more about it, but I can not read such a “hateful” article to make a conclusion (I did skim it).

    Anyway none of it matters now when color is in 32bit floats and all the APIs support multiple color spaces.

    Turning heat into mechanical or chemical or electric energy directly is really hard, you know.

    It’s funny that you can get more energy from gas by using it to heat water and using a steam turbine to drive whatever. It’s just not always practical.
