EA couldn't differentiate between a real Steam Deck running Linux and a Windows cheat claiming to be a Steam Deck running Linux. Their solution was banning the Steam Deck running linux real and fake.
And the fact is that they are going to have someone find a way to 'fake' the information being reported from the Linux system and they won't know AGAIN. Server side cheat protection is what you should have.
@@christopherkidwell9817 That's bullshit. Kernal and WMI calls call your BS. EA could easily do the work in an hour of one guy's time to differentiate between OSs easily. Why do so many LTT viewers claim knowledge way above their station? If you work in first line then cool, don't try to pretend that you 'know' that a multi-bn company couldn't do something just because you couldn't as a probably teenager.
EA cant even properly prevent cheats in Windows, let alone Linux. Apex has been losing players steadily for years on end now. One the biggest complains being cheaters.
Thus why it would make sense to constrict the amount of OS's running the game. That way you can focus solely on anti cheat for one OS, that it's already harder to cheat on.
@@santiagolozoya3439 any other fps game had cheats forcibly turned on for players of the tournament while on stream? Like without their knowledge or consent? As an act of protest against rampant cheaters btw
@@iyelawolf2196 If you actually played Apex Legends, you’d realize that EA doesn’t care about players on any platform. I can’t recall if there’s a single game that consistently has such major issues with cheaters, even in its own tournaments, where problems occur due to remote code execution. I don’t think this has anything to do with anti-cheat efforts or fighting against all that. It’s more likely tied to the fact that Linux players probably don’t buy battle passes and skins, so this way, they’ll save more since they don’t have to spend money on a platform that doesn’t bring in revenue for EA.
"Apex has been losing players steadily for years on end now" Based on player numbers on SteamDB, Apex hit peak player counts when Season 16 was launched, Feb 2023, 1 year 8-9 months ago. It then had a slump from June 2023 to Feb 2024, when Season 20 released, which put them above the slump numbers for about half a year again, i.e. they gained players back for a decent while. They have been doing badly recently, and the overall trend since Season 16 has been down a lot, but not sure if a period of 1 and 2/3 of a year counts as "years on end".
Does Blizzard's Overwatch have a big cheating problem? No. Does Overwatch use Kernel-Level Anticheat? No. Does Overwatch run on Linux? Yes. Overwatch uses a combination of light clientside anticheat and a strong serverside anticheat. EA has no excuse, they don't care about cheaters, they only care about looking like they're doing something against cheaters. Even on Windows you can load unsigned kernel drivers and entirely circumvent kernel level anticheat. It's neither difficult for the cheat developers, nor for the actual cheaters. There's a reason why the mantra "never trust user input" exists. The only good way to catch cheaters is with serverside anticheat.
Dota doesn’t have a lot of hackers, valve did a really good job with the server side and client side stuff and in Dota I have close to never felt that the enemy is hacking
Exactly. I feel like a lot of the problem with cheating in modern games is because developers cheap out on server costs and do too much on the client. The client should ideally only know enough to draw the screen and play audio. In practice that's not going to be entirely practical but I think we can get a lot closer to it that modern games do.
the graph example from mac adress to me is not just pretty. its actually making it muuuuch more readable and instinctively draws my attention to the comparing numbers. a real addition to the content imho.
3:23:12 for anyone interest in the reason why some websites don't allow middle/ctrl click/right click open in new tab I can answer why (at least for most) its because those 'links' are not actually 'hyperlinks'. its not a link to a new webpage, they function more like 'buttons' and just trigger a function inside the web app that is the website. A really well designed web app will use hyperlinks to perform in app actions (like opening the profile) and just prevent it from navigating and firing the script needed instead, but in the case when its in a new tab, the URL will load up a new instance of the app and trigger the action, so it will seem like it just opened in a new tab like a conventional web page.
@@Innuya on instagram/facebook or on a 3rd party website? when setting up a hyperlink you can tell it to `target="_blank"` which will open it in a new window/tab, but that will not close the original window. the web developer (in this case meta) would need to use some javascript event handlers to detect either when the link is clicked, or when the new page is loaded and close the original tab, but that can be unreliable, also seems like a very scummy practice. I don't use instagram and have not noticed facebook opening a new tab and closing the old on on firefox or chrome, so maybe its a plugin doing it? I would look at privacy related plugins as they may be 'sanitising' the tab by closing and opening a new one.
@@HearMeLearn from chat gpt. In November 2021, streamer Ludwig Ahgren conducted an experiment to demonstrate that success on UA-cam is not solely based on luck. He created a secret channel, “Online Lore,” and uploaded videos to see if he could achieve success without leveraging his existing audience. However, the experiment faced criticism when it was revealed that Ludwig had inadvertently mentioned the channel on his podcast, “The Yard,” leading to a surge in subscribers from his existing fan base. This unintentional promotion compromised the experiment’s integrity, as the channel’s growth was influenced by Ludwig’s established audience rather than organic discovery. Content creator DarkViperAU analyzed this situation, arguing that Ludwig’s experiment was flawed due to the unintended exposure. He suggested that the results did not accurately reflect the challenges new creators face when starting without an existing following. DarkViperAU’s critique highlighted the complexities of achieving success on platforms like UA-cam and the potential biases introduced when established creators attempt such experiments.
Linus, since you always read the comments, here's an idea: *BRING BACK THE LAN HOUSES* Why would anyone leave their house and go to a LAN House when they can play online at home? Better computers, better internet, better ambient, cool prizes, affordable prices, delicious and healthy drinks and snacks, and other things to bring people together and remind them how FUN LAN Houses used to be because there are other people around playing together! Man, the day I have a few million burning a hole in my pocket, I'll definitely do something like this! Since you're the king of sponsors, you can probably do this for almost free, if you count hourly fees and sponsorships. I don't know if it would be a very lucrative business, but I bet it would be A LOT OF FUN and at least break even.

Hey Linus, as an iOS user who watches all of your videos, you nailed it on the teeth with the user accounts. To confuse Luke less (hi Luke): you don't globally sign in to a Google account on iOS, but you DID before and some pieces of that are still left over. Everything was under where your iCloud account was in settings, and it would even sign in UA-cam. Now it is just Calendar/Mail/Contacts that use this system. This is also why backing out is often still the old "Back" button, but usually also the new swipe from the left, but also sometimes the newer swipe-card-down, but ALSO the tap X to exit, ORRRR tap outside the little window to dismiss.
It really does feel like all the right changes were made after the GN piece. Huge props to the team, most companies would self destruct with that level of scrutiny.
Those changes were implemented before GN drama, it just accelerated them. Also dishonest accusations, poor joirnalistic pracricies and omitting certain facts exposed more of GN than LMG to be blant
1:21:00 wordpad got a total makeover with windows 10 at some point. it got the ribbon menu and had 50% the features of Word. ... then a bit later they killed it.
Linus feeling (to the viewers) like he is in a flow state is just part of what has made recent videos great. I think most viewers understand that a lot of people do some great work behind the scenes to make that possible. If the team weren't great, there's absolutely no chance Linus would have the kind of energy he has had lately.
Server side anticheats need to be more of a thing. It's amazing how many cheaters you can catch just using analytics and gameplay analysis. Ai should make this even more of a breeze so you are not left trying to perfectly calculate everything. They could even do 1 to 1 simulation
@@fujinshu as much as I dislike kernel AC, and as much as I respect Valve for trying to do what you're saying with VAC - I have to disagree. CS is currently unplayable for anyone at a high level unless you go on a third party platform with Kernel anticheat. You just can't detect wallhacks with server side AI AC. It's okay for low ranks because the cheaters rank up quickly but 90% of the top ranked players in premier are blatantly cheating because of how weak VAC is. I like the set up of the main AC of the game not being Kernel level, and having third party platforms with Kernel AC for those who want it. Seems like an ok compromise
@@RandomNon-interestingguy Actually, I'd like something similar to what you proposed. Have kernel-level AC for ranked/competitive modes, but then have the option to disable it for quick-play or private games. At least there is competitive integrity when playing ranked or in competitions, but then you don't have to use the AC when playing for fun. But Vanguard probably will still not take this advice, because Tencent can then gobble up all the kernel data and mess up Windows systems remotely should the US upset China a lot.
@@fujinshu yeah, I used to play league ARAMs with friends for fun and uninstalled it cuz of vanguard (i stopped playing ranked years ago so I'm not gona have vanguard just for arams), what you're saying definitely makes the most sense
I think it's close to impossible to detect a sophisticated cheat program via server side analytics/gameplay analysis. Creating your own sophisticated program is one thing, using it in a stupid way is another and is how you get caught. Doesn't matter they hash every single packet
EA actually started ditching Linux with their recent move to their own Anti-Cheat. The current WRC game switched 9 months after release to the new anti-cheat solutions and locked all Linux players out. Thats an insane douche move. Now they are continuing with Apex Legends...
So about the open in a new tab thing, I'm a web dev and its basically because you can only do that with links in tags and they're typically used for text links, sometimes buttons but SPAs (and some websites) tend to use buttons and open links using JavaScript which prevents middle click/open in new tab from working
This. Worth mentioning that setting up / npm installing a good client-side routing system can make SPAs behave more like your average site, but it requires some extra work or the dumb luck of using a framework that supports it (like SvelteKit or presumably other SSR frameworks).
I agree, but in Linus's example to open a UA-cam channel page it totally should've been a standard tag IMO, no issues with putting JS on it but at least keep the href with URL as a fallback. As a web dev and avid CTRL+clicker myself I try to cater to that when I can because it drives me nuts too.
I had taken a girl out and she stole the most comfortable hoodie I had ever owned. It’s getting cold and was looking at getting another. It wasn’t a bad hoodie but if you knew the brand it was, I would say it’s not work appropriate. LMG came in clutch for saving me so I bought both the hoodie I previously owned and an LTT hoodie. I appreciate all that you guys do!
Opening in new tab is not working, because a lot of those links are not really links, that is they are not tags. In some cases, that makes sense, but in a lot of cases - not really
Hey Linus and Luke, the 'Add Calendar' is basically create a new calendar in any of the existing linked email accounts. It should have a descriptor inside the menu stating so to help, unfortunately there isn't any. It is not as intuative to add a new email account as it was earlier in iOS. You do remember correctly, there being an Accounts section in Settings App. It got moved to Settings -> Mail -> Accounts.
Yes, it's not intuitive at all. And yes, Apple Support has great documentation on pretty much everything, ask me how I know, I used to work at Apple Support. One thing doesn't negate the other. Having great documentation doesn't mean it's intuitive. And yes, intuitiveness is subjective to each user. But from how much Apple users, and even old accounts, struggle with setup, settings, AppleID, etc, I can assure you this isn't a Linus problem, it's a widespread problem, and Apple doesn't want to change much because old accounts are used to this crap.
Problem with memory inspection on Linux is that there is no such thing as the highest level of privilege for process or memory sniffing. I can simply install your anti cheat, see what ridiculous level of priority it gets, then define a lower level that is invisible to it. Linux made the sniffing framework very open, which means users can define workarounds. The windows equivalent would have to be countering kernel level anti cheat with kernel level cheats (and boy is that a Pandora's box right there).
Linux priority is complicated (because different functions take different numbers to mean the same number and sometimes the direction is reversed...it's embarrassing tbh...), but the bottom line is that there is a highest priority and an anticheat could use it...and it still wouldn't be perfect...
@@Ceelvain A higher priority process can do what it wants and clean up before any lower priority process will run again. When the lower priority anticheat process runs it would find no evidence of anything that looks like a cheat signature or cheat data in RAM. I have no idea if this has actually been done, but it's a reasonable concept. Except that nothing keeps the anticheat from being assigned the same priority, and it could actually be implemented partly as kernel code that would put it outside all priority. The reason anticheat kernel code would be more effective on Windows is that nobody can compile their own Windows kernel, but anyone can get the linux source code and mod it to make the anticheat think it's doing its job while the cheat runs circles around it.
The accounts menu used to be called Mail, Contacts, Calendars; then they split it into all 3. The Mail part of settings is where you have to go if you want to add a second Mail account. Which would be very unintuitive if you'd just added your first account in the Mail app, but is then consistent with Calendar.
As a long time gmail user, what is the point in even 'signing in globally' at all? I've been on iphone for almost 6 years and have never opened the mail app, let alone used it to sign into some other service.
@@aranykai A system-wide google account is useful because all compatible apps will auto-connect to your google account. UA-cam, gmail, docs, calendar, it all acts as SSO
These are different approaches for global SSO and accounts per app. I'm an android user but Linus is WRONG there, I completely understand iOS's approach there. And I think he understands he messed up there and just can't stand to take the blame (as usual Linus)
@@powuhpenguininc.3095 he complained about all of it iirc. To me it makes complete sense that email client which has no use without account so guides user to set it up vs calendar that you can perfectly use forever without account doesn't bother you with it in your face. Even his 20:1 argument completely ignors the fact that there will be users who only use gmail but completely doesnt need any kind of calendsr app. He's too self absorbed to even think that way
as a Developer on a couple games for both platforms, the cheating is not going to be affected at all with EA's move. The player base on Linux is so negligible in the first place, even those on Steam deck, it isn't going to do anything except cut off an avenue of revenue and make even Windows gamers angry. The instances of cheating will not lessen. And give it some time, someone will figure out how to spoof the client into believing it is on Windows anyway, I can already do that for games that complain on install through wine that it can only be installed on Windows. EA is only going to come across as a bunch of incompetent developers. It is actually "easy" to support Linux, especially if you properly optimize your code when it runs through a compatibility layer like wine or proton. Server side anti cheat is much more reliable and difficult to spoof.
I would even guess that must "Linux cheaters" were script kiddies that used Windows Subsystem for Linux as a way to spoof the real system - meaning that they possibly used a Windows feature to create a Linux VM to cheat. I don't really think that someone would nowadays install a whole Linux distro just to cheat.
I got into an argument with my friend about this. "Cheaters are terrible we should be doing everything to remedy the situation" and he wouldn't even hear my argument about how only *2% of everyone on Steam is using Linux. And of that *2% how many are actually cheaters? Such a pathetic move on EA's part but I am not surprised that the company continues to show its incompetence to make decisions based on critical thought. I haven't looked into server side anti cheat and how it actually works but obviously something that is on the server instead of the client will be damn near impossible to spoof.
On the charts the dot for the one currently being talked about and as Luke said a box around the one being reviewed would make it much easier to understand.
And the amount of anger it stirred was ridiculous because of a pretty unintuitive, hidden login process. They point to the documentation and guide videos and say that is intuitive. That's exactly by definition what unintuitive means. They had to walk on eggshells not to insult the Apple crowd
@@akosv96 when I got an iPhone for work a couple of years ago I had to look up the gestures to simply navigate the phone. They are so far from intuitive it's crazy.
Anticheat has lost already. You need to encrypt network traffic at first. Now a cheater only need a DMA device for the decryptkey. Send both to a second machine, put that information together for a radar/ESP and merge that view as overlay onto your Game. You have now wallhack/radar. Send information from the decryption PC to your gaming PC as "mouse" or "controller" input and let him aim/shot for you. Already sold on the Internet for around 1500€ initial price with a 90€ monthly fee for the software... (Tarkov made them do this after the average radar was blocked with traffic encryption)
If you need over 1500$ to run a cheat, then the number of cheaters is going to be very, very low. Just the fact of needing extra hardware is going to stop like 90% of cheaters.
@@lycanthoss Na, its the "buy and start" bundle. You dont have to build a second pc, buy the right network switch, configure everything etc. If you can deal with the hardware by yourself youre only at the monthly fee... and around 2900 are paying them at least in via bitcoin every month.. No idea how many via Paypal, credit card etc.
@@sadslavboyvery expensive and inefficient method that just doesn't work in f2p. with paid games you at least make some money of banning cheaters via them buying more digital copies of the game. not even mentioning the objectivity of the moderators and the required training.
@@notsure5583 Horseshit, Counter Strike was run almost entirely on community run servers. It shouldn't cost the developer/publisher a cent. I don't want developer run servers. They shut down in 2-3 years anyway. Community run servers means the game lives forever, so long as there are players.

1:39:00 talking about the graph readability and the dot that's been added to highlight what's being talked about... I spend so much time trying to locate the dot that I don't have time to digest the information before the video is moving on. Use something that stands out more. Love Luke's suggestion.
Been a watcher for years, almost every video tbh. I feel the team has been able to bring their interests forward more and feels like we know more about each writer and their personal passions and Linus vamping off them is great and pure!🎉.... So many more commercials on Wan though last few weeks
100% with Luke on the outline style of marking a graph line. The dot gets loss in the chaos. A highlighter style marking is often a bit too much, where as the outline is the perfect middle ground. Also having a NAS in general is expensive. It's not a surprise it's not a common thing outside of the niche enthusiast. For how 'magic' ios is for many things, it can be EXTREMLY obtuse at times.
I really don't like that Ludwig video because (IIRC) he completely glosses over the fact that he has so much experience. He knows what works and what doesn't. He knows how to play YT and streamers. And with as much experience as he has, a lot of this will be things that he does implicitly, so even if he tries to approach it with a "fresh mind" - he simply can't. Someone that just starts out doesn't have any of that experience or "feel" for this kind of thing. In the end, whether or not it's luck doesn't even matter.
I do agree it's so backwards that Apple puts the settings of the first party apps in Settings instead of like inside of the apps themselves, but the reason why iOS users don't think about this is because they've already set up their accounts years ago and just carried over the settings phone to phone. They have rarely interacted with those settings.
@@Alcatraz760 Totally agree. Reminds me of a few weeks ago when they were explaining Android keyboards set up. iOS users found it overly complicated but its a set and forget. It does sometime feel like Apple can’t win with Linus. Complains Apple does not have a setting and would be happy for it to be buried in a sub menu. Setting exists in a sub menu. Complains about the location of said sub menu
@@WillHest I have always thought none of that matters so long as the setting is findable in the settings menu using the search bar. His complaint was that it wasn't consistent behavior, if it is going to be in the app, it should be in every app, if it is in the settings menu for that app, it should be in the settings menu for every app. Or it could just have an accounts page parent menu.
@@WillHest What would be the way he should have said it. He said it wasn't intuitive, which is measurable, and isn't something that means the users are dumb.
Did they explain what that plexi glass is for? I didn't even notice it till linus smack his hand into by accident. I guessing one of them is sick? Like the dedication.
@@xMdb omg pretentious.... just for cameras.... if you sick do not work, or work from home. If you are good enough to go to work, then do not play sick there. [2020 is over. Do not enforce or play along with those stupid policies] (probably I will be shadow banned by Linus for this but it is, what it is. )
On the FP pre-show, Linus said he was sick and Luke had a very long infection (months) recently and didn't want to get another. Also, Luke doesn't want to take anything home to the birds.
I think it is stupid from game developer to try to fix cheating by requiring kernel level control. They have to fix it at the app and server level. For example by having a user based private public key encryption of sensitive information in memory (like keeping shadow copies of critical game data in encrypted memory space to check main game data).
Encrypting memory is useless for locally executed cheats. To be able to interface with it, the decryption key needs to be available, and that means a cheat could find the key and then interface with your nicely encrypted memory anyway. If this were an easy problem to solve, it'd have been solved already.
@@Mr4Goosey i think what they meant is that the game would keep an encrypted replay for the server to verify. in that case the game wouldnt need to access it, only the server would. i imagine this can only work as a complementary system to an existing server-side anticheat though as the public key would still be available for exploitation lol.
I think the content has been better lately. I used to not watch 75% of the videos on the LTT channel, but I watch just about all of them now for the past month or so. Saying that, the titles or the thumbnails make me question playing some. UA-cam seems to be serving me more of your videos too.
2:47:42 I wish the tribal mentality hadn’t muddied the mail sign in topic so much. Linus was mostly right the whole time. The reason Mail prompts you and contacts/calendar don’t is because you can have local records of contacts/calendars without ever signing into anything. Mail intrinsically needs an account so if you’re opening the mail app, it has to prompt you to sign in or the app is functionless. That is about the only thing wrong here though. Linus is completely right that it used to work differently-it used to have everything under a single “Mail and Accounts” section at the top of settings, and hilariously splitting them up to be more consistent under the apps section made the situation so much less obvious and intuitive. Also for added hilarity, once you add a mail account, you DO have to go add a second in the app setting, and there’s no way to add an additional one from the app itself, making it work just like Calendar and Contacts.
Quidditch Champions didn't fail because it was a bad idea. It failed because they didn't do any marketing, didn't let play testers share their excitement with others (NDA still in effect), made last minute changes that went against everything the play testers suggested, and they decided to make it $30 instead of a f2p. It was just bad management decisions.
56:10 I heard from you guy back in 2015 or so. Didn't like the format back then and forgot all about it in 2019 or so I saw you guys again and watched all the stuff from you. Now I'm mainly focused to the WAN show and like 5 other UA-cam channels. Everything else is random. I had a good laugh when I heard some years ago that some viewers preferred the older videos. You guys do your stuff on a professional level and I respect that. I hope the negativity gets less and less overtime. And I do hope that Gamers Nexus and LTT will somehow in the future get somewhat back together again.
i feel the entire cheating discussion is way to focussed on "people who are salty they are bad". most people i know who use bots/cheats are 1) using it to catch up because they don't have the time (bots in mmo's) 2) using it to earn money. (for example tarkov) personally i think shoving people into "cheat only" matches is the way to go.
Games should just always have bots. Private lobbies should be more common and easier to setup with strangers. Game makers should just allow players to ban each other, instead of trying to ban cheaters for the whole platform.
The problem is more that Publishers and devs are cheaping out on anti cheat solutions. There is a basic rule in programming: "Never trust the user". That means that developers should always validate what the users input is.
@@MegaLokopo The basic rule "Never trust the user" is about not trusting what the user sends as input because it can be compromised and made to misuse vulnerabilities in games to their advantage.
Yes, my younger cousins didn't understand the joy of playing games in the same room cause they play online. They would ask me to play things like Valheim, Satisfactory, No Mans Sky, etc and I would decline. We did play Left 4 Dead online together with their dad and it was ok, but not the same. Now I have been picking them up after I get off work every Friday and bringing them to my house to play through Space Marine 2 TOGETHER IN PERSON and we have been having a blast! So many great times already and we still haven't finished the game. Just the thrill of "I'm down, I'm down, come pick me up!" "Oh no I have a mortal wound, RES ME!!!!!!" "Oh my gosh did you see that kill!?!?!!?" etc it just isn't the same when everyone is on a discord call. I will never give up on in person games. Long live local play
The bad faith iphone arguments are so childish. Do you all know how manipulated you are? The fact that you cant even allow yourselves to take an honest assessment of Linus' complaint is super cringe.
The amount of ads on a Wan show is getting ridiculous. 3 hours show I get around 20 ads, especially if you don't listen in one sitting. Usually if i listen to the show I do other things so I can't skip ads, and the duration on some of them are 2 min long and they come in stupid sections where they just break the conversation. It used to be just 2 or 3 which is fine and I am happy to support the show but this is bananas. Other podcast tipe shows aren't like this, usually they stay around 3 or 4 for the same duration. I hope something can be done with this.
I was a beta tester for quidditch champions and could tell it was going to be terrible early on. Clunky controls, keeping goal was luck more than skill. Overall it was just awful. On feedback they asked how much I would pay for the game I said no more than £10 as it was a glorified mobile game.
On the graphs thing: It adds a nice visual que to where to look. You guys are spewing a lot of information at the viewer and the visual que helps me to find the relevant info immediately. I would even say it's even more effective in graphs with a lot of entries. I personally prefer it a lot to the dot or a bracket thing.
If information being sent to the client (at the location of other players) could give you an advantage you simply don’t send that information to the client until such a time as they would be visible by that client. That’s how games such as eve online work. But that requires more processing to be done server side, which means more cost to run a sever. If you offload that work to the client, your server is cheap to run but cheating is *impossible* to prevent 100%.
that would be a MUCH worse experience for anyone with a sightly high latency. if you check a corner and no one is there, but you get killed from there. no one will be happy. you have to balance between normal people and cheaters. thats why games arent streaming only even though that would stop ALL current cheats
I would love to see a video that features the differences between major versions of iOS. Might be a pain to make, but these issues have come up frequently on WAN and I think it could be framed in an interesting way.
They also sell lots of stuff and won't feel any pain from deleting the small number of transactions they'd see through this game on this platform. And they probably see it as making the cheaters have to pay more to get what they're cheating to get.

It's crazy how brands are able to get us to tie our personal identity so strongly to their brand or product that any criticism of that brand is defended to death...
LINUS! You can add accounts via the settings app -> apps -> mail, or just via the mail app only the first time. When you sign in via the mail app or the settings, after you have logged in, it gives you the option to choose what you want to sync. So you can choose to synch only your calendar or contacts or mail then only these will sync. The calendar app is used by almost everybody, so if it was required to sign in just to see today's date what you would say is ridiculous. I am not saying the approach is intuitive but it is definitely not the impossible task you seem to make of it.

As a person who used to troll people using cheats and mods, the only solution to wallhacks, and aimbots in FPS games is to go with cloud gaming. You will not be able to read process memory on a remote machine running the binaries of a video game on a VM, or at least you should not have that kind of access level - with this you won't need anticheat at all. I've been saying this for years. Fairfight and other AC measures are simply not enough. If you want an even playing field; then you want to stop wasting money on crappy anticheats. Cloud gaming needs to be the standard. Cloud gaming solves a lot of these problems.
Yeah, Linux has nothing to do with the cheat problem. It's bad programmers relying on bad practices, and they're all using ChatGPT anti cheat and that's why they're clueless haha.
As a note for close end of the WAN show, when they started talking about Ludwig making a new youtube channel: Though the concept of the video was good, his execution was very flawed considering he promoted the idea before he released it, paid a ton of money to create the video, and used that prior knowledge. Sure if you take out the prior knowledge part, the fact he self promoted it before the video came out (which would have given him a boost in views), the amount of money also spent to create the video was not a small chunk of change to the normies. sorry this comment is so long, its hard to portray your complete idea over this.
The issue with Linux for anti cheat (aside from cost, which for off the shelf stuff like eac its already supported anyways) is that there is no way to ensure the system hasnt been tampered with, and thus, you can never ensure that your anti-cheat is working with real data. Why? Because the user has control of the entire software stack. At least on Windows with it being closed source, there are some parts you can ensure aren't modified, like parts of the kernel. On Linux the user can use their own custom kernel. And no matter how you try to verify the integrity of that kernel, whats stopping the user from simply giving your anti cheat the right value and just running the custom kernel anyways? Nothing, and thats the problem. Server side anti cheat simply isn't there yet either, believe me everyone wants it. Once it's viable you'll quickly see it implemented.
While you are right, I do have to inform you that there are ways around most of, if not all, the things you state is possible and not possible. It goes both directions. Windows "unmodifiableness" cane be spoofed, and Linux "Openness" can be worked around. Valve has done a great job in the latter and seems relatively successful in protecting their platforms. A potential general solution could be that the game companies get together to make a standardised anti-cheat framework. It doesn't necessarily have to be open source, though I believe the effectiveness could be higher with an open standard, as the entire game industry has a vested interest in combating cheating. My main argument is that broad, systematic issues generally are better solved with broad, systematic solutions.
@@vlada909 You need root access to flash custom kernels on android. And rooting triggers Google Play Integrity. Play integrity is a proprietary software stack on top which verifies integrity.
Hey LTT i know you guys are a little lax when it comes to youtube comments, however have you guys seen Edison Motors?! i feel like you guys would love them and the owner is a great guy who is willing to talk with his fans
Alex is a huge fan of what Edison Motors is doing. He wore their hat throughout their turbo laptop video. And plenty of others. I'm sure he's pushing for it constantly. Probably Jake too since he's another of their car guys.

I feel like everyone was missing the point that the calendar was so unintuitive that even Linus couldn’t find the setting until someone pointed it out which is the definition of unintuitive.
They talked about EA using cheaters as a scapegoat for pulling games from Linux. I feel like there is one argument left out here: To cheat in an online game is wrong and pathetic on many levels. The fact that developers choose to implement anti-cheat to prevent it doesn't mean they are under any obligation to do so, let alone for any platform because there shouldn't be a need for it in the first place. So EA choosing to pull a game from Linux due to disproportionate levels of cheating on the platform instead of developing anti-cheat is perfectly legitimate and NOT scapegoating.
Game Developers and lazy? They are more often than not too dedicated for their own good. Gamers just don't understand scope, project management and producing (as in project oversight). If a thing seems lazy, it is probably not because nobody bothered to do it, but because there was either no time/money to pull it off or some weird technical reason that made it impossible/not worth it to develop. And I mean poor management/stakeholder shenanigans are also a thing.
Often lack of optimisation comes down to insanely short game development time, and the more games you can shotgun at once, the more money you can possibly make.
TBH, you are really wrong about the apex topic, it's not because Linux users are cheaters, but because cheaters use Linux to cheat (as it does not have kernel mode access anticheat software).
I'm an "Xer" and I've been using an Oppo A53s that I bought back in 2021 - and the battery life is still great. After an injury, I bought an Oppo smart watch to help me track my progress and motivate me. - it did a great job. This also still works perfectly but I only use it as a watch and to quickly check my messages while I'm working. I wonder if the life and snappiness of the phone is because I deleted all social media apps at root level, except for WhatsApp. I don't even have UA-cam on my phone! I also don't have enough of a daily routine to track everything; it's unnecessary for my life. No Alexa, or Bluetooth household items either. I've no room for AI in my personal life.
Of course Mail and Calendar (and Contacts for that matter) function differently. One requires an account to do anything. The other two can be used without an account. Why would they all prompt at launch when only one requires an account in the first place. Further had you set up an icloud email at the initial setup... mail wouldnt prompt you either... Yes at one point there used to be a 'Mail, Contacts, and Calendars' top level setting entry but Im pretty sure the EU lawsuits against Apple drove the change to per app settings. So unfortunately now you have to choose one of the individual apps.
Hi LTT team. Has the policy on mid role ads changed? I have gotten multiple mid role ads (I believe 4) every 10-15ish minutes for the first hour of the show then clicked off.

EA couldn't differentiate between a real Steam Deck running Linux and a Windows cheat claiming to be a Steam Deck running Linux. Their solution was banning the Steam Deck running linux real and fake.
And the fact is that they are going to have someone find a way to 'fake' the information being reported from the Linux system and they won't know AGAIN.
Server side cheat protection is what you should have.

@@alexbuckenham1663 ”kernal”
EA cant even properly prevent cheats in Windows, let alone Linux. Apex has been losing players steadily for years on end now. One the biggest complains being cheaters.
Thus why it would make sense to constrict the amount of OS's running the game. That way you can focus solely on anti cheat for one OS, that it's already harder to cheat on.
woah its like every other fps game
@@santiagolozoya3439 any other fps game had cheats forcibly turned on for players of the tournament while on stream? Like without their knowledge or consent? As an act of protest against rampant cheaters btw
@@iyelawolf2196 If you actually played Apex Legends, you’d realize that EA doesn’t care about players on any platform. I can’t recall if there’s a single game that consistently has such major issues with cheaters, even in its own tournaments, where problems occur due to remote code execution. I don’t think this has anything to do with anti-cheat efforts or fighting against all that. It’s more likely tied to the fact that Linux players probably don’t buy battle passes and skins, so this way, they’ll save more since they don’t have to spend money on a platform that doesn’t bring in revenue for EA.
"Apex has been losing players steadily for years on end now" Based on player numbers on SteamDB, Apex hit peak player counts when Season 16 was launched, Feb 2023, 1 year 8-9 months ago. It then had a slump from June 2023 to Feb 2024, when Season 20 released, which put them above the slump numbers for about half a year again, i.e. they gained players back for a decent while.
They have been doing badly recently, and the overall trend since Season 16 has been down a lot, but not sure if a period of 1 and 2/3 of a year counts as "years on end".
Does Blizzard's Overwatch have a big cheating problem? No. Does Overwatch use Kernel-Level Anticheat? No. Does Overwatch run on Linux? Yes.
Overwatch uses a combination of light clientside anticheat and a strong serverside anticheat. EA has no excuse, they don't care about cheaters, they only care about looking like they're doing something against cheaters.
Even on Windows you can load unsigned kernel drivers and entirely circumvent kernel level anticheat. It's neither difficult for the cheat developers, nor for the actual cheaters.
There's a reason why the mantra "never trust user input" exists. The only good way to catch cheaters is with serverside anticheat.
Also nobody plays that crap anymore xD
Did they fuck over people that bought Overwatch, by releasing Overwatch 2 ? Yes.
@@crash3446 exactly
Dota doesn’t have a lot of hackers, valve did a really good job with the server side and client side stuff and in Dota I have close to never felt that the enemy is hacking
Exactly. I feel like a lot of the problem with cheating in modern games is because developers cheap out on server costs and do too much on the client. The client should ideally only know enough to draw the screen and play audio. In practice that's not going to be entirely practical but I think we can get a lot closer to it that modern games do.
the graph example from mac adress to me is not just pretty. its actually making it muuuuch more readable and instinctively draws my attention to the comparing numbers. a real addition to the content imho.
3:23:12 for anyone interest in the reason why some websites don't allow middle/ctrl click/right click open in new tab I can answer why (at least for most)
its because those 'links' are not actually 'hyperlinks'. its not a link to a new webpage, they function more like 'buttons' and just trigger a function inside the web app that is the website.
A really well designed web app will use hyperlinks to perform in app actions (like opening the profile) and just prevent it from navigating and firing the script needed instead, but in the case when its in a new tab, the URL will load up a new instance of the app and trigger the action, so it will seem like it just opened in a new tab like a conventional web page.
Do you know why clicking a FB or Instagram link (in Firefox in my case) will open the link in a new tab and close to initial tab?
@@Innuya on instagram/facebook or on a 3rd party website?
when setting up a hyperlink you can tell it to `target="_blank"` which will open it in a new window/tab, but that will not close the original window.
the web developer (in this case meta) would need to use some javascript event handlers to detect either when the link is clicked, or when the new page is loaded and close the original tab, but that can be unreliable, also seems like a very scummy practice.
I don't use instagram and have not noticed facebook opening a new tab and closing the old on on firefox or chrome, so maybe its a plugin doing it? I would look at privacy related plugins as they may be 'sanitising' the tab by closing and opening a new one.
Ludwigs experiment failed.
There was a huge drama because it was leaked before and so on.
DarkviperAU debunked this if I remember correctly.
what is this in reference to?
@@HearMeLearn from chat gpt. In November 2021, streamer Ludwig Ahgren conducted an experiment to demonstrate that success on UA-cam is not solely based on luck. He created a secret channel, “Online Lore,” and uploaded videos to see if he could achieve success without leveraging his existing audience. However, the experiment faced criticism when it was revealed that Ludwig had inadvertently mentioned the channel on his podcast, “The Yard,” leading to a surge in subscribers from his existing fan base. This unintentional promotion compromised the experiment’s integrity, as the channel’s growth was influenced by Ludwig’s established audience rather than organic discovery.
Content creator DarkViperAU analyzed this situation, arguing that Ludwig’s experiment was flawed due to the unintended exposure. He suggested that the results did not accurately reflect the challenges new creators face when starting without an existing following. DarkViperAU’s critique highlighted the complexities of achieving success on platforms like UA-cam and the potential biases introduced when established creators attempt such experiments.

Linus, since you always read the comments, here's an idea:
*BRING BACK THE LAN HOUSES*
Why would anyone leave their house and go to a LAN House when they can play online at home? Better computers, better internet, better ambient, cool prizes, affordable prices, delicious and healthy drinks and snacks, and other things to bring people together and remind them how FUN LAN Houses used to be because there are other people around playing together!
Man, the day I have a few million burning a hole in my pocket, I'll definitely do something like this!
Since you're the king of sponsors, you can probably do this for almost free, if you count hourly fees and sponsorships.

You guys are killing it lately, my wife and I really enjoy watching all you.
Great stuff
Hey Linus, as an iOS user who watches all of your videos, you nailed it on the teeth with the user accounts.
To confuse Luke less (hi Luke): you don't globally sign in to a Google account on iOS, but you DID before and some pieces of that are still left over. Everything was under where your iCloud account was in settings, and it would even sign in UA-cam. Now it is just Calendar/Mail/Contacts that use this system.
This is also why backing out is often still the old "Back" button, but usually also the new swipe from the left, but also sometimes the newer swipe-card-down, but ALSO the tap X to exit, ORRRR tap outside the little window to dismiss.
That sounds super intuitive
It really does feel like all the right changes were made after the GN piece. Huge props to the team, most companies would self destruct with that level of scrutiny.
Those changes were implemented before GN drama, it just accelerated them. Also dishonest accusations, poor joirnalistic pracricies and omitting certain facts exposed more of GN than LMG to be blant
The only thing I am missing is the GN peace. I guess, that is not going to happen any time soon.

Linus feeling (to the viewers) like he is in a flow state is just part of what has made recent videos great. I think most viewers understand that a lot of people do some great work behind the scenes to make that possible. If the team weren't great, there's absolutely no chance Linus would have the kind of energy he has had lately.
Everyone knows people who use Linux are hackers who know how not to uninstall the GUI.
Yes, do as I say.
Server side anticheats need to be more of a thing. It's amazing how many cheaters you can catch just using analytics and gameplay analysis. Ai should make this even more of a breeze so you are not left trying to perfectly calculate everything. They could even do 1 to 1 simulation
Client-side kernel level anticheat should only be a thing in face-to-face competitions, and NOT on online competitions.
@@fujinshu as much as I dislike kernel AC, and as much as I respect Valve for trying to do what you're saying with VAC - I have to disagree. CS is currently unplayable for anyone at a high level unless you go on a third party platform with Kernel anticheat. You just can't detect wallhacks with server side AI AC.
It's okay for low ranks because the cheaters rank up quickly but 90% of the top ranked players in premier are blatantly cheating because of how weak VAC is.
I like the set up of the main AC of the game not being Kernel level, and having third party platforms with Kernel AC for those who want it. Seems like an ok compromise
@@RandomNon-interestingguy Actually, I'd like something similar to what you proposed. Have kernel-level AC for ranked/competitive modes, but then have the option to disable it for quick-play or private games.
At least there is competitive integrity when playing ranked or in competitions, but then you don't have to use the AC when playing for fun.
But Vanguard probably will still not take this advice, because Tencent can then gobble up all the kernel data and mess up Windows systems remotely should the US upset China a lot.
@@fujinshu yeah, I used to play league ARAMs with friends for fun and uninstalled it cuz of vanguard (i stopped playing ranked years ago so I'm not gona have vanguard just for arams), what you're saying definitely makes the most sense
I think it's close to impossible to detect a sophisticated cheat program via server side analytics/gameplay analysis.
Creating your own sophisticated program is one thing, using it in a stupid way is another and is how you get caught.
Doesn't matter they hash every single packet
EA actually started ditching Linux with their recent move to their own Anti-Cheat. The current WRC game switched 9 months after release to the new anti-cheat solutions and locked all Linux players out. Thats an insane douche move. Now they are continuing with Apex Legends...
Idk if other Linux players more like to cheat. I think it is more "Linux gamers are more likely to have the intelligence to avoid EA GarbageWare
EA is uber shitty
So about the open in a new tab thing, I'm a web dev and its basically because you can only do that with links in tags and they're typically used for text links, sometimes buttons but SPAs (and some websites) tend to use buttons and open links using JavaScript which prevents middle click/open in new tab from working
This. Worth mentioning that setting up / npm installing a good client-side routing system can make SPAs behave more like your average site, but it requires some extra work or the dumb luck of using a framework that supports it (like SvelteKit or presumably other SSR frameworks).
I agree, but in Linus's example to open a UA-cam channel page it totally should've been a standard tag IMO, no issues with putting JS on it but at least keep the href with URL as a fallback. As a web dev and avid CTRL+clicker myself I try to cater to that when I can because it drives me nuts too.
you can always wrap the button in an element (convert it to a div), it does not need to be a text link.
I had taken a girl out and she stole the most comfortable hoodie I had ever owned. It’s getting cold and was looking at getting another. It wasn’t a bad hoodie but if you knew the brand it was, I would say it’s not work appropriate. LMG came in clutch for saving me so I bought both the hoodie I previously owned and an LTT hoodie. I appreciate all that you guys do!
Opening in new tab is not working, because a lot of those links are not really links, that is they are not tags. In some cases, that makes sense, but in a lot of cases - not really
Hey Linus and Luke,
the 'Add Calendar' is basically create a new calendar in any of the existing linked email accounts. It should have a descriptor inside the menu stating so to help, unfortunately there isn't any. It is not as intuative to add a new email account as it was earlier in iOS. You do remember correctly, there being an Accounts section in Settings App. It got moved to Settings -> Mail -> Accounts.
Yes, it's not intuitive at all. And yes, Apple Support has great documentation on pretty much everything, ask me how I know, I used to work at Apple Support.
One thing doesn't negate the other. Having great documentation doesn't mean it's intuitive. And yes, intuitiveness is subjective to each user. But from how much Apple users, and even old accounts, struggle with setup, settings, AppleID, etc, I can assure you this isn't a Linus problem, it's a widespread problem, and Apple doesn't want to change much because old accounts are used to this crap.
Problem with memory inspection on Linux is that there is no such thing as the highest level of privilege for process or memory sniffing.
I can simply install your anti cheat, see what ridiculous level of priority it gets, then define a lower level that is invisible to it.
Linux made the sniffing framework very open, which means users can define workarounds.
The windows equivalent would have to be countering kernel level anti cheat with kernel level cheats (and boy is that a Pandora's box right there).
Linux priority is complicated (because different functions take different numbers to mean the same number and sometimes the direction is reversed...it's embarrassing tbh...), but the bottom line is that there is a highest priority and an anticheat could use it...and it still wouldn't be perfect...
@@blairhoughton7918 Are you talking about process priority? How does this have to do anything with anti-cheat?
@@Ceelvain A higher priority process can do what it wants and clean up before any lower priority process will run again. When the lower priority anticheat process runs it would find no evidence of anything that looks like a cheat signature or cheat data in RAM. I have no idea if this has actually been done, but it's a reasonable concept. Except that nothing keeps the anticheat from being assigned the same priority, and it could actually be implemented partly as kernel code that would put it outside all priority. The reason anticheat kernel code would be more effective on Windows is that nobody can compile their own Windows kernel, but anyone can get the linux source code and mod it to make the anticheat think it's doing its job while the cheat runs circles around it.
The accounts menu used to be called Mail, Contacts, Calendars; then they split it into all 3.
The Mail part of settings is where you have to go if you want to add a second Mail account. Which would be very unintuitive if you'd just added your first account in the Mail app, but is then consistent with Calendar.
As a long time gmail user, what is the point in even 'signing in globally' at all? I've been on iphone for almost 6 years and have never opened the mail app, let alone used it to sign into some other service.
@@aranykai A system-wide google account is useful because all compatible apps will auto-connect to your google account. UA-cam, gmail, docs, calendar, it all acts as SSO
These are different approaches for global SSO and accounts per app. I'm an android user but Linus is WRONG there, I completely understand iOS's approach there. And I think he understands he messed up there and just can't stand to take the blame (as usual Linus)
@LooKingG00d he wasn't asking for it to be global he was asking for consistent behavior between native apps
@@powuhpenguininc.3095 he complained about all of it iirc. To me it makes complete sense that email client which has no use without account so guides user to set it up vs calendar that you can perfectly use forever without account doesn't bother you with it in your face. Even his 20:1 argument completely ignors the fact that there will be users who only use gmail but completely doesnt need any kind of calendsr app. He's too self absorbed to even think that way
as a Developer on a couple games for both platforms, the cheating is not going to be affected at all with EA's move. The player base on Linux is so negligible in the first place, even those on Steam deck, it isn't going to do anything except cut off an avenue of revenue and make even Windows gamers angry. The instances of cheating will not lessen. And give it some time, someone will figure out how to spoof the client into believing it is on Windows anyway, I can already do that for games that complain on install through wine that it can only be installed on Windows. EA is only going to come across as a bunch of incompetent developers. It is actually "easy" to support Linux, especially if you properly optimize your code when it runs through a compatibility layer like wine or proton. Server side anti cheat is much more reliable and difficult to spoof.
I would even guess that must "Linux cheaters" were script kiddies that used Windows Subsystem for Linux as a way to spoof the real system - meaning that they possibly used a Windows feature to create a Linux VM to cheat.
I don't really think that someone would nowadays install a whole Linux distro just to cheat.
I got into an argument with my friend about this. "Cheaters are terrible we should be doing everything to remedy the situation" and he wouldn't even hear my argument about how only *2% of everyone on Steam is using Linux. And of that *2% how many are actually cheaters? Such a pathetic move on EA's part but I am not surprised that the company continues to show its incompetence to make decisions based on critical thought.
I haven't looked into server side anti cheat and how it actually works but obviously something that is on the server instead of the client will be damn near impossible to spoof.
@@thedevlebowski Small correction: Linux usage on Steam is on 2%. That is taken from the Steam Hardware survey for October 2024.

Anticheat has lost already.
You need to encrypt network traffic at first. Now a cheater only need a DMA device for the decryptkey. Send both to a second machine, put that information together for a radar/ESP and merge that view as overlay onto your Game. You have now wallhack/radar. Send information from the decryption PC to your gaming PC as "mouse" or "controller" input and let him aim/shot for you.
Already sold on the Internet for around 1500€ initial price with a 90€ monthly fee for the software... (Tarkov made them do this after the average radar was blocked with traffic encryption)
If you need over 1500$ to run a cheat, then the number of cheaters is going to be very, very low. Just the fact of needing extra hardware is going to stop like 90% of cheaters.
@@lycanthoss Na, its the "buy and start" bundle. You dont have to build a second pc, buy the right network switch, configure everything etc.

@@kappatalism6969 Fully agree the dots really do not work for me at all.
Blinking dot would work very well.
Been a watcher for years, almost every video tbh. I feel the team has been able to bring their interests forward more and feels like we know more about each writer and their personal passions and Linus vamping off them is great and pure!🎉.... So many more commercials on Wan though last few weeks
100% with Luke on the outline style of marking a graph line. The dot gets loss in the chaos. A highlighter style marking is often a bit too much, where as the outline is the perfect middle ground.
Also having a NAS in general is expensive. It's not a surprise it's not a common thing outside of the niche enthusiast.
For how 'magic' ios is for many things, it can be EXTREMLY obtuse at times.
I really don't like that Ludwig video because (IIRC) he completely glosses over the fact that he has so much experience. He knows what works and what doesn't. He knows how to play YT and streamers. And with as much experience as he has, a lot of this will be things that he does implicitly, so even if he tries to approach it with a "fresh mind" - he simply can't. Someone that just starts out doesn't have any of that experience or "feel" for this kind of thing. In the end, whether or not it's luck doesn't even matter.
I do agree it's so backwards that Apple puts the settings of the first party apps in Settings instead of like inside of the apps themselves, but the reason why iOS users don't think about this is because they've already set up their accounts years ago and just carried over the settings phone to phone. They have rarely interacted with those settings.
@@Alcatraz760 Totally agree. Reminds me of a few weeks ago when they were explaining Android keyboards set up. iOS users found it overly complicated but its a set and forget. It does sometime feel like Apple can’t win with Linus. Complains Apple does not have a setting and would be happy for it to be buried in a sub menu. Setting exists in a sub menu. Complains about the location of said sub menu
@@WillHest Agreed, as an ios user I almost feel like i'm gaslit by Linus with how many complaints he has.
@@WillHest I have always thought none of that matters so long as the setting is findable in the settings menu using the search bar. His complaint was that it wasn't consistent behavior, if it is going to be in the app, it should be in every app, if it is in the settings menu for that app, it should be in the settings menu for every app. Or it could just have an accounts page parent menu.
@@MegaLokopo I agree with the points Linus is making, its not what he said but the way he says it is some times that I think irks people.

On the FP pre-show, Linus said he was sick and Luke had a very long infection (months) recently and didn't want to get another. Also, Luke doesn't want to take anything home to the birds.
I think it is stupid from game developer to try to fix cheating by requiring kernel level control. They have to fix it at the app and server level. For example by having a user based private public key encryption of sensitive information in memory (like keeping shadow copies of critical game data in encrypted memory space to check main game data).
Encrypting memory is useless for locally executed cheats. To be able to interface with it, the decryption key needs to be available, and that means a cheat could find the key and then interface with your nicely encrypted memory anyway.
If this were an easy problem to solve, it'd have been solved already.
@@Mr4Goosey i think what they meant is that the game would keep an encrypted replay for the server to verify. in that case the game wouldnt need to access it, only the server would. i imagine this can only work as a complementary system to an existing server-side anticheat though as the public key would still be available for exploitation lol.
Kernel level is frankly the best at it

@@helloukw Everyone's happy!
2:47:42 I wish the tribal mentality hadn’t muddied the mail sign in topic so much. Linus was mostly right the whole time.
The reason Mail prompts you and contacts/calendar don’t is because you can have local records of contacts/calendars without ever signing into anything. Mail intrinsically needs an account so if you’re opening the mail app, it has to prompt you to sign in or the app is functionless.
That is about the only thing wrong here though. Linus is completely right that it used to work differently-it used to have everything under a single “Mail and Accounts” section at the top of settings, and hilariously splitting them up to be more consistent under the apps section made the situation so much less obvious and intuitive.
Also for added hilarity, once you add a mail account, you DO have to go add a second in the app setting, and there’s no way to add an additional one from the app itself, making it work just like Calendar and Contacts.
Quidditch Champions didn't fail because it was a bad idea. It failed because they didn't do any marketing, didn't let play testers share their excitement with others (NDA still in effect), made last minute changes that went against everything the play testers suggested, and they decided to make it $30 instead of a f2p.

Single player CHEATS should be available for all inside games as Doom's IDFKA
What is BAD CHEATING is Multiplayer or Ranked games.
i feel the entire cheating discussion is way to focussed on "people who are salty they are bad".
most people i know who use bots/cheats are
1) using it to catch up because they don't have the time (bots in mmo's)
2) using it to earn money. (for example tarkov)
personally i think shoving people into "cheat only" matches is the way to go.
That will probably always be the best choice, up and until it costs more to host those servers than a regular server.
Games should just always have bots. Private lobbies should be more common and easier to setup with strangers. Game makers should just allow players to ban each other, instead of trying to ban cheaters for the whole platform.

It used to be just 2 or 3 which is fine and I am happy to support the show but this is bananas. Other podcast tipe shows aren't like this, usually they stay around 3 or 4 for the same duration. I hope something can be done with this.

I was a beta tester for quidditch champions and could tell it was going to be terrible early on. Clunky controls, keeping goal was luck more than skill. Overall it was just awful. On feedback they asked how much I would pay for the game I said no more than £10 as it was a glorified mobile game.
On the graphs thing: It adds a nice visual que to where to look. You guys are spewing a lot of information at the viewer and the visual que helps me to find the relevant info immediately. I would even say it's even more effective in graphs with a lot of entries.
I personally prefer it a lot to the dot or a bracket thing.
If information being sent to the client (at the location of other players) could give you an advantage you simply don’t send that information to the client until such a time as they would be visible by that client. That’s how games such as eve online work. But that requires more processing to be done server side, which means more cost to run a sever. If you offload that work to the client, your server is cheap to run but cheating is *impossible* to prevent 100%.
that would be a MUCH worse experience for anyone with a sightly high latency. if you check a corner and no one is there, but you get killed from there. no one will be happy. you have to balance between normal people and cheaters. thats why games arent streaming only even though that would stop ALL current cheats
I would love to see a video that features the differences between major versions of iOS. Might be a pain to make, but these issues have come up frequently on WAN and I think it could be framed in an interesting way.
EA says lots of stuff.
They also sell lots of stuff and won't feel any pain from deleting the small number of transactions they'd see through this game on this platform. And they probably see it as making the cheaters have to pay more to get what they're cheating to get.

LINUS! You can add accounts via the settings app -> apps -> mail, or just via the mail app only the first time. When you sign in via the mail app or the settings, after you have logged in, it gives you the option to choose what you want to sync. So you can choose to synch only your calendar or contacts or mail then only these will sync.
The calendar app is used by almost everybody, so if it was required to sign in just to see today's date what you would say is ridiculous. I am not saying the approach is intuitive but it is definitely not the impossible task you seem to make of it.
I never called it impossible. I called it unintuitive. Sounds like we agree -LS

As a person who used to troll people using cheats and mods, the only solution to wallhacks, and aimbots in FPS games is to go with cloud gaming.
You will not be able to read process memory on a remote machine running the binaries of a video game on a VM, or at least you should not have that kind of access level - with this you won't need anticheat at all. I've been saying this for years. Fairfight and other AC measures are simply not enough.
If you want an even playing field; then you want to stop wasting money on crappy anticheats.
Cloud gaming needs to be the standard. Cloud gaming solves a lot of these problems.
This is a solution I haven’t heard yet, thanks!
Yeah, Linux has nothing to do with the cheat problem. It's bad programmers relying on bad practices, and they're all using ChatGPT anti cheat and that's why they're clueless haha.
As a note for close end of the WAN show, when they started talking about Ludwig making a new youtube channel: Though the concept of the video was good, his execution was very flawed considering he promoted the idea before he released it, paid a ton of money to create the video, and used that prior knowledge. Sure if you take out the prior knowledge part, the fact he self promoted it before the video came out (which would have given him a boost in views), the amount of money also spent to create the video was not a small chunk of change to the normies. sorry this comment is so long, its hard to portray your complete idea over this.
The issue with Linux for anti cheat (aside from cost, which for off the shelf stuff like eac its already supported anyways) is that there is no way to ensure the system hasnt been tampered with, and thus, you can never ensure that your anti-cheat is working with real data.
Why? Because the user has control of the entire software stack. At least on Windows with it being closed source, there are some parts you can ensure aren't modified, like parts of the kernel. On Linux the user can use their own custom kernel. And no matter how you try to verify the integrity of that kernel, whats stopping the user from simply giving your anti cheat the right value and just running the custom kernel anyways? Nothing, and thats the problem.
Server side anti cheat simply isn't there yet either, believe me everyone wants it. Once it's viable you'll quickly see it implemented.
You are right. Maybe valve can implement a hrdware level kernel validator which cannot be faked like a tpm.
While you are right, I do have to inform you that there are ways around most of, if not all, the things you state is possible and not possible. It goes both directions. Windows "unmodifiableness" cane be spoofed, and Linux "Openness" can be worked around.
Valve has done a great job in the latter and seems relatively successful in protecting their platforms. A potential general solution could be that the game companies get together to make a standardised anti-cheat framework. It doesn't necessarily have to be open source, though I believe the effectiveness could be higher with an open standard, as the entire game industry has a vested interest in combating cheating. My main argument is that broad, systematic issues generally are better solved with broad, systematic solutions.
I get your point but games like Fortnite are available on Android. And Android also has custom kernel support
@@vlada909 You need root access to flash custom kernels on android. And rooting triggers Google Play Integrity. Play integrity is a proprietary software stack on top which verifies integrity.

I feel like everyone was missing the point that the calendar was so unintuitive that even Linus couldn’t find the setting until someone pointed it out which is the definition of unintuitive.
They talked about EA using cheaters as a scapegoat for pulling games from Linux. I feel like there is one argument left out here:
To cheat in an online game is wrong and pathetic on many levels. The fact that developers choose to implement anti-cheat to prevent it doesn't mean they are under any obligation to do so, let alone for any platform because there shouldn't be a need for it in the first place. So EA choosing to pull a game from Linux due to disproportionate levels of cheating on the platform instead of developing anti-cheat is perfectly legitimate and NOT scapegoating.
they kinda do talk about that too later in the video.
Linus: "there's not too many merch messages."
me checking that there's still another hour and a half left: *doubt*
Game Developers and lazy? They are more often than not too dedicated for their own good.
Gamers just don't understand scope, project management and producing (as in project oversight).
If a thing seems lazy, it is probably not because nobody bothered to do it, but because there was either no time/money to pull it off or some weird technical reason that made it impossible/not worth it to develop. And I mean poor management/stakeholder shenanigans are also a thing.
Often lack of optimisation comes down to insanely short game development time, and the more games you can shotgun at once, the more money you can possibly make.
thanks for keeping the WAN show going
TBH, you are really wrong about the apex topic, it's not because Linux users are cheaters, but because cheaters use Linux to cheat (as it does not have kernel mode access anticheat software).
I'm an "Xer" and I've been using an Oppo A53s that I bought back in 2021 - and the battery life is still great. After an injury, I bought an Oppo smart watch to help me track my progress and motivate me. - it did a great job. This also still works perfectly but I only use it as a watch and to quickly check my messages while I'm working. I wonder if the life and snappiness of the phone is because I deleted all social media apps at root level, except for WhatsApp. I don't even have UA-cam on my phone! I also don't have enough of a daily routine to track everything; it's unnecessary for my life. No Alexa, or Bluetooth household items either. I've no room for AI in my personal life.
This WAN show would be so unintuitive to follow if it wasn't for timestamp guy 🤪

Of course Mail and Calendar (and Contacts for that matter) function differently. One requires an account to do anything. The other two can be used without an account. Why would they all prompt at launch when only one requires an account in the first place. Further had you set up an icloud email at the initial setup... mail wouldnt prompt you either...
Yes at one point there used to be a 'Mail, Contacts, and Calendars' top level setting entry but Im pretty sure the EU lawsuits against Apple drove the change to per app settings. So unfortunately now you have to choose one of the individual apps.
It's not intuitive. You have to go through Settings, and the Calendar app is just a complete dead end for adding an account.
Stop excusing bad UX. An inline account picker is not rocket science
There's no Linux cheating problem, they are more worried about their partnership with Xbox and EA Play.
I love the iPhone banter segment every week for the last few weeks.
Dear Godzilla I am thirsting for the Livestream during the launch of the iPhone video, this is gonna be amazing lol
50:18 it's being awesome indeed ! Great content, keep it coming
EA: Challenge Everything - except the Windows gaming monopoly.
Hi LTT team. Has the policy on mid role ads changed? I have gotten multiple mid role ads (I believe 4) every 10-15ish minutes for the first hour of the show then clicked off.
Im a lifelong iphone user, but chat’s absolute GLAZING of apple was ridiculous this episode
Linus was wrong, yes, but his main point of what is intuitive or not was spot on and people would NOT wrap their heads around it
