High school, computer info & science class.
It was the last day of the semester, and everyone was already done everything. One of the students was given permission to bring in their Wii, and he was also bringing in Brawl. And we were going to have a tournament.
Out of everyone I knew locally (which wasn't too many people), I figured I was probably well up there in Smash games. I could beat all my friends at least in Melee, though I didn't know about literally any technique other than basic fighting.
Which wasn't a problem. I picked Marth, who I typically did my best with, and I was generally kicking ass.
Except for one problem. They had smash balls on and I typically played no items. I vaguely recall it being double elimination and that I SD'd myself to death both times with Marth's final smash.

« on: July 31, 2018, 03:13:41 AM »I mean it depends on how much CPU usage . I've played unturned and used glsl shaders before and both of those destroyed my CPU. I don't see how this is any different except somebody in the world is now making actual money if I use this backdoor bullstuffMining will use as much of your hardware resources as possible.
Just because you have a stuff computer, that doesn't mean this is fine. The difference between this and that is that this is probably actually criminal and that is just you trying to run things you can't.
The fact that your CPU is being destroyed by something normally done on a GPU tells an amazing picture.
I don't know anything or care at all about crypto currency but I always see that it's a trend to stuff on all mining operations or some stuff idk why. Like if there's any hardware failure in the world it's a Bitcoin miners fault or some stuffNo like, literally anyone in the world will tell you that running your hardware to 100% for long periods of time will cause the hardware to die faster. This isn't something exclusive to mining and it's not something that people use to hate on mining. In fact, it only affects the people who are mining themselves.
Companies even plan their devices around keeping the fail rate under a certain threshold at 100°C.
Knowing that a game is using your computer to mine means you're legitimately willing to shorten your hardware's lifespan.
The problem with this game in particular is that they were hiding it.
Sure. If the game straight up told people that it was using your computer for mining, then I'm sure a lot less people would say anything about it. Hell maybe it even would've stayed on the store. The dishonesty is the biggest problem.
If you seriously aren't into this subject at all, then stay out of it. Because it's really starting to show how ignorant you are.
It's fine to not know things. But it's not fine to act like there's not a problem just because you don't understand it.
This offer still stands.
But hey, if you're completely fine for it, mind if I set up a wallet, give you my public key so you can go mine some crypto for me? For free of course.Even though I know I'd be losing a dollar because your potato wouldn't earn me a cent.
Edit: And before you go and say that you're getting a game out of it, I'll be totally willing to buy you a $1 game for this.

« on: July 30, 2018, 03:44:03 PM »I mean I've played poorly optimized games before that hog my CPU and I've only ever been slightly annoyed. Sure the mining backdoor is intentional but there are devs out there who intentionally leave their game unoptimized and it has the same effect. If anything I'm more tolerant to a backdoor miner because at least the dev is making an extra buck. I'm just sacrificing a little bit of cpu in exchange. I can see why some people wouldn't like that unconsenting mechanism but for me I wouldn't careSo you're completely fine with the idea of paying the extra electricity, cost for the hardware (because it's lifespan will be cut short, it's not 'a little bit of cpu', it's 'as much as your cpu/gpu as possible'), cost for proper cooling (because if you don't have this and are fine with things mining on your machine, be prepared for the lifespan to be cut even shorter), all to make profit for someone else? You're paying all of the costs, and getting none of the profit. And even if you attempt to profit from the community items, that still just puts more money in their pockets.
But hey, if you're completely fine for it, mind if I set up a wallet, give you my public key so you can go mine some crypto for me? For free of course.

« on: July 30, 2018, 02:14:47 AM »Amazon revealed plans in December to introduce a similar technology to its own brick-and-mortar grocery concept, called Amazon Go, which is still in the planning phases.This isn't even true. There's already an Amazon Go that exists. And it doesn't even require you to show someone your receipt. There's cameras and sensors in the store that know exactly who picked up what, and once you're going to walk out, that's when the transaction happens.
