Does Denuvo have any phone-home that can break? I don't recall hearing that it does but I don't pay much attention.

I think the difference is in the intrusiveness or lack thereof. You literally can not tell whether a game has Denuvo or not. It is not even DRM actually. It is anti-tamper. It just sits there and guards the executable against tampering.
Unless you specifically look it up online, you'd never know if a game even comes with Denuvo or not.

The real DRM that people used to be pissed off about was much more intrusive and people claimed it "made you jump through hoops" (even if there was just a one-click online activation but whatever...).
You had to have the disc in the drive, you had to register an account and irrevocably tie your game to that account (Steam/Origin/uPlay etc.) DRM or activate a game online by connecting to the publisher's activation servers, you had machine installation/activation limits, yada, yada, yada...

Nintendo is suing for copyright infringement, trademark infringement, and unfair competition, with the lawsuit potentially worth millions of dollars in damages.

The device also contains an RFID and GPS chip that allow me to see where my car is at any given moment

Anything >80F & >40hum is bad! I found a heat index chart showing just how bad considering the combination of the two

106F 40hum is borderline extreme danger!

How the fuck are there people so fucking sad that "Achievement farming" is a goddamned THING???

It's no different than leaderboards, or other "Top" player lists.

Fallout 3 runs fine on Win7+, that's a ghost story.

It's not. There are problems with Win7+. GOG uses a fan fix for their version of Fallout 3 to ensure maximum compatability.

FO3 GOTY Steam version with the unofficial patch and NMC texture pack from the Nexus has been working absolutely flawless for me on Windows 10 (zero issues or crashes) and it also looks absolutely spectacular.

I will be sure to angrily suggest that to my Steam copy of Fallout 3 which doesn't work at all next time I try to play it...

I have no idea what might have changed, but the regular Fallout 3 that is on Steam crashes more than any game I have ever owned. FO3 was given out for free on the 360 which works fine (at least as far as I have tested it), so I guess if I ever want to play it again that is the route I will go.

What's fucked up is my internet was out this morning. Something caused my cable modem to completely lock up, which has never happened before. Unplugging it and plugging it back in, it re-connected just fine though, so I have no idea what happened. According to my router's log, it looks like it went out between 3am and 4am.

Power blip? Happens pretty often to my router. If the power just blips, my router freezes up.

I think that truck driver himself might have been distracted. He doesn't start slowing down until after he's hit the horn...

My sentiment exactly. Looking at how her car was moving it was clearly will she/won't she actually pull into traffic. Certainly enough to warrant considerable caution. But from the looks of it it's like he was completely oblivious to her as he didn't slow down a tick.

The dash cam is mounted in the center of the window so it has a much better view than the driver. The driver is sitting farther back and on the left side, and probably couldn't see the car until it was too late because there is a structural pillar and a mirror blocking the drivers view on the front left side where the car came from.

How sad is it that I immediately knew without reading the article that "Rag Doll King Fu" was the first non-Valve game on Steam back in the beginning?
