Spelkollektivet, an indie game development ... cult? I'm a former colleague of the founder James and yeah, nothing would surprise me :D
Apparently a documentary will drop soon - see the trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4wg-jysRtc

oh
it helps to read the correct section of AN2606. Let's forget about this little ... mishap.

Dear STM32F412. Why are you not USART2:ing on PA14/PA15 when in the system bootloader?
AN2606 says you should! *crying*

Please help my gamerkid. Boost for reach.
I'm failing as a dad. He just bought a Deltaco GAM-169T bluetooth controller to use in Fortnite, on Windows.
The controller works perfectly well everywhere - but in Fortnite, via bluetooth. It works in Fortnite with the USB cable plugged in, but he bought a wireless controller for a reason.
I've tried everything I know, but since I haven't used Windows since 2008 I don't have any deep insights into what can go wrong here.
(It's not the "ignore gamepad" or "lock to mouse input" options within Fortnite - and I've made sure Steam, Xbox etc don't start up when the computer boots)

Yeah it's less than clear. However, the way you should see it is that you as an IOCX user should expect to see our rules upheld. Also sending the report to the originating server is just a bonus (if it's an instance where there's a chance it might make a difference).
We (I'm on the moderator team here) will always moderate according to our rules - regardless of whether the user is local or not.

Funny story - I once packed in a hurry and just threw lots of medication on top of my clothing in the luggage. When Japanese customs opened the luggade they exclaimed "that's a lot of pills" and I realized this was going to take a while.
Carefully mentioned that I worked for Sony as I mentioned packing in a rush and they immediately commented "you work for Sony!?" at which point I could flash my badge.
They just closed up the luggage again and wished me a good trip. Japanese national pride is always a good play.

While I agree with you - I think that those who do use it are using GPT 4, Claude 3 or one of the other state of the art models. GPT 3.5 is "old" :)
