Releasing the source code would allow anyone to copy AND modify or extend the game as they see fit. Including all the inner logic that is normally compiled away.

Piracy or a compiled release without DRM (like GOG) only allows you to play the game and maybe modify some parts of it through modding after a significant amount of effort.

The biggest red flag is probably that they claim to just be the WireMin protocol, but haven’t published any protocol specifications. In the spirit of open and unmoderated communication I would hope they would at least publish their protocol specifications, even if they won’t opensource their own client for it.

That is not the correct analogy. Offcourse you can customize it. Just like you can customize or mod the game.

But you won’t get the actual designs to the bicycle. You will not get the blueprints to send to a factory to create exact duplicates or with your modifications.

And let’s not forget: it’s full AAA price, but it feels like a finished game without hidden microtransactions for cosmetics or DLC that actually should have been part of the main game. Mod support is also free which is apparently not a given. Looking at you Bethesda with the starfield rumors.

Gameplay is modeled to be enjoyable instead of a time sink just to get you to play more.

You can play co-op with friends if you want but it doesn’t force you to always be online.

Actually, the more I think about, it’s sad how low a bar we have set for new games these days. And the worst part is, most new games can’t even pass this…

Wait so someone corrects you on a fact, not even providing his own opinion on said fact. Just simply stating a correction. And that is what is wrong with lemmy?

You might want to start your own non-federated echo chamber…

Hey you could have just made the edit, doesn’t make your point any worse. And I would have never responded.

But no, you have to resort back to personal insults, even assume that everyone that talks back is “one of them libs”. At some point you might realise that not the story you are trying to tell is causing people to talk back, but your personality. But it looks like you aren’t quite there yet.

There are inverters that support battery backup, recharging from solar and grid power that are supposed to go between your grid tie-in and the rest of your house. Quite a ways more expensive, but the battery capacity is probably relatively cheap compared to UPS power and is essentially a backup for your entire house.

The one I read about a while ago was a Growatt that is basically an all in one box. Can provide power from batteries, recharge from solar or grid power, feed back excess solar power to the grid, etc, you name it. And I can imagine other brands producing the same solution.

I’m lucky enough to live in a country with almost no power cuts though. I think we have at most 1 a year for max 10 minutes. So can’t say I have any experience with it myself.

No no, they are planning to add, nothing about when it’s being added yet. This patch is just a very small number of quest blocker fixed.

Charging from the left side isn’t all that either, some macbook pro models actually become slower due to thermal throttling because charging from the left creates heat closer to the CPU. Resulting in a significant CPU slowdown.

It’s the other way around. Companies in the Netherlands lease cars for their employees here in the Netherlands. Usually for people that travel a lot with for their job or just as a bonus perk that comes with the job instead of salary. And the boss pays for all the gas and maintenance as well.

So either take the effort to charge, or even charge at home and get refunded the electricity costs. Or just fill it up with free gas which only takes a minute. Guess which happens the most?

The only time I saw some of those oversized and really popular Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV use a charge cable was if they wanted to take a good parking spot…
