So, I was scrooling yt last night as I am wont to do sometimes, and miraculously, all these videos showed up, one after the other. I haven’t seen the algorithm working this well in over a decade lol.
Microsoft’s addiction to hiring 18 month contractors and then forcing them to learn an in-house engine has disastrous effects on Halo Infinite, leading them to abandon their slipspace engine in favor of Unreal

Serious, the developer of CoD BO3’s T7 patch, was one of the first community patches to address the arbitrary code exploits which began to ravage the multiplayer servers of the older CoD games, making them unsafe to play online. Recently this topic has made a resurgence, new RCEs have been found, but the developer of T7 makes a convincing case that his patch has been safe all along, and the people causing controversy (mostly cod/zombies youtubers) have no idea what they’re talking about beyond regurgitating FUD

Someone dives into the question of why TV appearances of the world’s greatest detective are so….weird, if he even appears at all. Makes a convincing case that it’s nothing to do with “preserving the brand” (look at gay black superman for confirmation) and is probably because of a legal quagmire surrounding the rights of Batman ‘66

Apparently Cloudflare’s business model is something like the mafia’s

Who could have ever imagined that the evolution over 20 years of the approach to clearing or controlling a single hallway in a video game could be so interesting

EVE Online, at its highest levels, isn’t PvE and it isn’t even PvP. Eventually you reach a point where it becomes PvDev (or you join goonsquad)
I remember this one, and I think Cloudflare was in the right.
The customer was creating trouble for Cloudflare by running an online casino using Cloudflare's cheap service. Doing this both risked poisoning Cloudflare's IP addresses by getting them banned for hosting an illegal website and potentially would get Cloudflare themselves in legal hot water since it's their name on the paperwork. At that point, Cloudflare would be 100% justified in banning the customer on the spot for brazenly violating their TOS in ways that would damage the company.
Instead, Cloudflare directed them to Cloudflare's expensive service. This service gives the customer more control over their plan, including the option to tie it to your own IP address instead of using Cloudflare's. Since it would be the customer's IP address at risk and the customer's name associated with the website, it would solve the problems on Cloudflare's end and thus they could reasonably say the expensive service is acceptable where the cheap service is not.
Cloudflare is guilty of bad optics by giving the banned customer the option to switch to the more expensive plan where Cloudflare's liability is removed, but the only alternative was to ban the customer outright.
