@Zorklis @TheIshikawaRin I mean yes, they are competitors in the sense that Valve & Epic would each like you to buy Random Game 3 on their store instead of the other one. But they're not competing by trading exclusives like Sony & Nintendo.

[Smiley 🏳️‍🌈 @SmileyBarry]

@Zorklis @TheIshikawaRin If a game is available on Steam but not EGS, that is the publisher's choice, because Valve don't pay for exclusivity deals like Epic does.

If you're calling something like Forza Horizon 6 their answer because it's not on EGS, that's just MS not wanting to sell it on EGS.

@rushsilliness @luciascarlet the damn ONEDRIVE UPDATER does this too (sometimes)

[Smiley 🏳️‍🌈 @SmileyBarry]

@luciascarlet I cast "enable group policy that logs every process creation & command line to Event Viewer" and end my turn

@guysh94 @UdinkaPudinka שולחי ספאם נוטים לשנות טיפה את השם (או לבחור שם אחר לגמרי) בכל פעם כדי שלא תוכל לחסום אותם בקלות, מניח שזו הסיבה

@uwukko @Glas109 @jmeller @1Password AKA: backups

[Smiley 🏳️‍🌈 @SmileyBarry]

@uwukko @jmeller @1Password I'm sure it's just a case of restoring from rolling backups. ISO 27001 compliance and the like require you to have immutable backups.

@FyreFry8 @AliceThePurple I noticed them today too but I swear I flew past there and didn't see them until now, maybe it's a new bug? Or maybe it depends on someone else in your phase doing the quest recently?

@AutomaticJak So many achievements at once that they crashed Sepe's client

[Smiley 🏳️‍🌈 @SmileyBarry]

@ItsBobbySocks At least it's (relatively) harder to do because those two games charge a subscription, so player counts translate directly to revenue. With Destiny you can skip the pass & expansion and still play, if I unsubscribe from WoW I can't play any character above level 20.

@bettersafetynet Conversely, OV certificates *do not* inherit publisher reputation. The publisher certificate reputation is bound to the certificate there. So you either face the same issue again or have to renew early and cross-sign for a while.

[Smiley 🏳️‍🌈 @SmileyBarry]

@bettersafetynet As others said EV doesn't bypass/preseed SmartScreen with good reputation, but at least EV allows you to carry publisher reputation across certificates, so this shouldn't happen much in the future, even when you renew/reissue the EV cert.

@aluraye and then your team has a gnome, suddenly it's a game of "where's Waldo" every pull

@dondidont @posner_avi @k64yPS4CAax9zsY @NaorNarkis זו בהחלט הטרדה כשמבקשים ממך שוב ושוב. זה אף פעם לא פעם אחת, זה תמיד ״למה לא״, ועוד, עד שאתה מתרחק מהאזור.

אז לבוא אליך ולבקש שוב ושוב זו הטרדה, כן.

@AIsmaiil52617 @GeForce_JacobF @MKBHD Well yeah, the chip & devices aren't out until fall 2026.

Either way, NVIDIA had their logo on stage as an announced partner. It's probably safe to assume it will be supported.
