Could be something as simple as computers just being screwy sometimes. Or something as unlikely but still precedented as a bit-flip caused by an excited electron causing something important to actually be affected.

Question is, are they running the 9x branch or the NT branch?

But what about forcing the computer to do something via bootable ASM?

Doesn't hurt that Microsoft's official answer to "what if my computer doesn't meet the required specs to run Windows 11 or later" is literally "switch to Linux".

It's always big data, isn't it?

A motion sensor would get tripped by anything that passes by, but even so, a basic image processing algorithm designed just to detect whether that thing is a human or not would be more than sufficient, there's no need to identify specific people by face.

I'm opposed to #4 on principle. ANY action taken against an account should ALWAYS be done by a person after direct review. It doesn't matter if it can be fixed afterwards or not, you're still potentially subjecting people to unfair treatment and profiling. You can have it notify moderators but the moderators should be the ones actually making the decision whether to limit an account for further investigation, not the auto-mod bot.

If you implement #4 as-is, I'm just flat-out not going to stick around.

EDIT: Also, I ran into an infinite loading bug when submitting this post.

To be fair, if Metaverse did integrate something like this they would definitely record telemetry data "for development purposes".

Fair, but at that point you're arguing a technicality that most people don't really care about.

And if you want to argue technicalities, then I CAN give you a game that was released for the Steam Deck by YOUR definition. Aperture Desk Job. Yes, it can be played by PCs as well, but it was developed with the intent of it being a showcase of the Steam Deck's controls. You can't argue it "wasn't a Steam Deck" game if your definition of whether a game was for a certain platform is based on whether it was intended for that platform.

Not going to downvote you this time because you actually explained your position. Though your tone VERY much tempted me to do so anyway.

Well, if you're not trying to say something along the lines of "the Steamdeck plays PC games" then what are you trying to say?
