If the service is decent enough with servers close by, it really isn't bad at all. In a PCgamer test, the input latency for Metro Exodus and Destiny 2 went from 46ms and 51ms local to 96ms and 75ms from GeForce Now, and 179ms and 129ms from Stadia.

For comparison, back when Tekken 7 was released on the PS4, it had 120ms of input lag.

They have to, otherwise the Russians will shoot at it themselves instead as they will mistake them for civilians.

Only if the 94% are now completely immune to long covid and wouldn't suffer from it if they do get covid in the future. If that's the case, then the risks really are only the tiny chance of dying to it, usually requiring being immunocompromised or unvaccinated. Otherwise there is also always the additional, orders of magnitude higher risk that you get long covid, and with that comes the risk that you might get stuck to your bed not being able to do anything for over a year for example.

Using the numbers from your other comment, for those 45000 deaths by motor vehicle accidents you also have the over 2 million injuries and disabilities that didn't kill anyone, some of them permanent and debilitating. The risk of death is only one number among many.

Long covid symptoms are affecting 6% of the entire US population - 1 in 4 who caught covid. One estimate says the cost of long covid to the US economy might be as high as $3.7 trillion.
Just because you don't necessarily die to it any more doesn't mean it "poses no issues".

If it somehow guaranteed your success it would be safer to play a round of russian roulette at the base camp before you begin your climb as that has only one in six chance of killing you. That's how crazy your odds of success on the climb sound like.
Yet they all know the statistics and the risks, and go do it anyway. Are they mental, suicidal, or do they truly believe they are so awesome and everyone who died clearly was their inferior?

The only two decent ones with that Wipeout feel that I know are GRiP and Redout.

They are used to push through the lockscreen e.g. when you get a call or when a timer finishes. I assume camera apps might also use it for the button shortcut (double-tapping the power button opens your camera in most Android phones). If the app doesn't do calls or alarms of some type, I can't really think of any valid reason why they would need that permission unless it's something weird like Tasker and you want it to.
Other permissions that are also "revoked by default" like this are using the accessibility services or drawing over the screen - you just need to have a popup in your app that says "the app needs \ to work, please enable it in the following screen" and then opens the settings page.

Though to be able to register something as a moped here the manufacturer has to have it pass EU L1e-B qualification approval (tyyppihyväksyntä), which very few do.

Usually they don't. Something like Horizon Forbidden West credits almost 3500 people even though Guerilla Game has less than 500 employees, most of the rest is absolutely massive bloat from different outsourced teams and Sony departments - like the "Head of Opportunity Markets Business Operations Tim Stokes from Sony Interactive Entertainment Inc.: Global Business Operations" was undoubtedly very important for the development of the game.

As for Baldurs Gate 3, Larian Studios currently has 450 employees in 6 different locations, so they are actually around the same size as Guerilla. I wouldn't be surprised if the credits end up being well above a thousand people (D:OS2 has around 500 credits even though Larian back then had only 130 people).

We are talking about cosmetic DLC that you can also buy using ingame currency, that's exactly the thing that most DLC should be - optional cosmetic things you can get if you want to, with no real impact on the game itself.
This would be a whole different story if they were selling four new playable characters for $100, but they aren't.

They are bloody expensive though.

Youtube knows I have subscribed to 515 channels, I have liked 2364 videos and favourited 685. It already floods the recommended videos with others based on "Users who followcreator Y enjoy videos of creator X".
They for sure do not require my watch history to be able to recommend videos to me.

They will try, but if the prices are already high then they won't be able to sell them nearly as easily or gain as much profit.
And even if we abolished scalping and it would bring the prices down a bit, it wouldn't actually solve the issue - like how nVidia noticed last gen that there were enough people that were willing to pay ridiculous amounts for the scalped GPUs, so now they increased the prices themselves to that level. It just made it happen faster than normal as they could gauge the markets easier.

She personally doesn't, but it is a rather simple case of supply and demand for everyone else involved - there are only so many that fit in the concert, as long you find enough people willing to pay $900 per ticket to sell them all, it doesn't make any financial sense to price them any lower. And if you do lower it while the market is still willing to pay significantly more, you quickly get swamped by scalpers grabbing the profit from you instead.
There is a Finnish saying that goes something like "He who asks is not the stupid one, the one who agrees to pay is".

You haven't seen a Sphynx yet, have you?

They can be, uh, rather... unique looking.

Directly regulating the size isn't the only possibility though, huge cars are really rare in the EU even though there isn't anything prohibiting you from buying them. You just won't fit anywhere with one if you do :)

The Java Team posted that they would be leaving and stopping official communications on reddit.

Judging by the exemption list, the ban is basically just for regular household lightbulbs. Headlights are halogens, not incandescent, and the rest are speciality bulbs - though if it's legal, swapping all of those to LEDs is a pretty good upgrade.

On basically all of the instances of something like this happening, it has been because they have been using the HP instant ink subscription, where you pay a monthly fee based on how many pages you print, and HP sends you the ink refills as necessary. Skipping the whole issue of having subscriptions for physical devices in the first place, you wouldn't expect any other subscription like for example Netflix to continue working if your card has expired, and neither does the ink subscription.

I can confirm that the romances aren't gender locked.

Yup. I'd love to ditch my car but it would mean my 20 minute commute would take an hour longer each direction. And this is in (around) Helsinki, Finland, where public transport is really rather good.
