  • I find that 15% number interesting… For example, there’s a highway near where I am with a 55 mph speed limit. But you’ll rarely find people doing less than 60. Usually 65, with the occasional crazy person doing 80.

    But I feel like raising the speed limit would defeat the purpose. Drivers would be happy, but then they’d just go 75. If traffic engineering amounts to “More than 15% are breaking the rules and driving in an unsafe manner, let’s change the rules so that’s legal,” it seems pretty dumb. Like, that extra speed isn’t suddenly safer because the sign says something else.






  • I’m just speculating. It seems like, at least at the moment, anti cheat continues to be able to run as kernel. The article says Microsoft will have more to say on anti cheat “in the near future.”

    It may be that they don’t crack down on the realtime applications as hard, since the number of users impacted is so much smaller. Antivirus and anti cheat are on many millions of machines and are usable by the average consumer. Specialty software may be considered differently, I. E. “You know what you’re doing and what risks you’re assuming” for the more technical customer.

    It will be interesting to see where they go with this.
