I guess they are finally going to put it out to pasture. Maybe it can catch on fire one more time during the transit, for old times sake.

Yeah, Heroic is the way to play GOG games in Linux.

Though I have not tried it in VR, I have no reason to think that would present an issue here.

Yeah, I'm just going to wait and see. If it's good, I'll buy it, otherwise I won't.

From this article:

the FTC had failed to follow correct procedures and conduct an analysis before issuing the rule

The FTC is free to issue this again. They need to do it in accordance with the law next time.

DCS (Digital Combat Simulator)

Tons of well-simulated combat aircraft. IL-2 is probably the closest simulator to it.

Don't finance DLC purchases. If you are that bad off for money, you need to just play the games you already own.

The united snakes doing what they always done

Yeah, how dare the pentagon buy arms with money they were given by Congress. Damn snakes they are!

Yeah, this is a bridge too far. If they try to enforce this, shit is going to hit the fan for them.

That said, I have no intention of giving them money in the first place. The sheer hubris of this policy...

Yeah, I'm confused on what else the Pentagon would be spending money on.

The court ruled specifically on the stay. The case itself is still before lower courts.

Yeah, this is what's primarily happening. A third-party imports the chips to a random country for [perfectly valid use], then resells them to Russia at a markup. It's one of the reasons you see more and more sanctions packages. Some of those are sanctioning perpetrators of industrial level sanctions evasion as described here.

And while you can never stop it, driving up the price and reducing supply to Russia is helpful. Particularly when paired with lethal aid to Ukraine.

 

According to an unnamed Israeli security official, speaking to Fox News, the success of the airstrikes that eliminated the IRGC Air Force leadership relied upon tricking those officials into gathering for a meeting, and then keeping them there.

“We did specific activities to help us understand things about them and then used that information to make them act in a specific way,” the security official said. “We knew this would make them meet, but more importantly, we knew how to keep them there.”
