Bad design. Plenty of EVs have their brake pedal apply a mixture of regen and friction braking, with the actual proportions dependent on factors like how quickly you hit the brake (soft braking is entirely regen, slamming the brakes apples almost entirely actual brakes in my experience), or how much charge is in the battery (you can't safely pump power from regen into a nearly full battery).

Plenty of them also let you control how much passive regen happens when you lift the pedal, with the default on mine at least feeling very similar to the slowing you get when lifting off the gas with an automatic transmission. It's adjustable from none at all to moderate braking force, and when I turn it up lifting my foot from the gas illuminates my brake lights.

Street Fighter 6 uses two systems. League Points are a "keep them playing" type, and Master Rate is pretty much pure Elo.

Everyone starts with LP only and initial placement matches put you into a league with progressively fewer guard rails as you live higher. Rookie league can't lose LP at all, there's a win streak bonus up to gold, and you can't demote to a lower league until platinum. Throughout it all there's very slight upward pressure on LP, you get slightly more more a win then you lose for a loss.

Finally you reach the topmost league, Master, the final guard rails fall away and you're given 1500MR to join in the net zero Elo ranking pool. You basically need to demonstrate that you have a willingness to keep playing before they will use that style of matchmaking. "Real" skill based ranking effectively begins there, with the lower ranks being made more to show dedication rather than just ability.

It doesn't matter if you have 2 Gigabit internet if no one in the world is uploading even half that fast. A single download on Steam is like 450 Mbps

This sounds more like the infrastructure in your area just isn't up to delivering those speeds, regardless what the last mile to the home is.

I promise you Steam's CDN absolutely can deliver more than 450Mbps. It regularly maxes out my 1.5 Gbps at home, and I have no doubt that it could potentially go even faster than that if I had a better connection.

Like plugging a 10Gbps network switch into a 100Mbps gateway, it sounds like a fast final link to the home is being choked out by poor infrastructure in the region and can't be fully utilized.

I know someone who has a company with the word "technology" in the name, like "Smith Technology". They use .technology because it's literally the name of the company, which I think is good for the brand identity, but have run into issues where people just don't think it's a correct url because "smith.technology" looks like it's missing its TLD.

Regardless of whether the gaming market itself is growing or not you can still compare to Nvidia to see how AMD is doing within that environment. If no one was buying any GPUs Nvidia would also be showing a dip, but they're not.

That Concord episode of Secret Level is going to be pretty awkward.

Yeah, there are some disappointing limitations for sure, but it definitely is interesting, and does at least feel more like a human player than the normal CPU opponents.

...if a somewhat schizophrenic one.

I don't know what it's using specifically under the hood, but in Street Fighter 6 Capcom recently added a new AI opponent you can fight that they say is trained on actual player ranked matches and fights more like a human opponent. You can even have it try to mimic your own playstyle if you've played enough.

It can do some odd things and its mimicry isn't perfect. But it definitely doesn't feel like the typical high difficulty CPU opponent which uses things like input reading to react faster than a real player ever could.

...it also has been seen teabagging.

It's not great.

This is my current best use for it as well. Having a unique portrait for every named NPC helps them stand out quite a bit better and the players respond much more strongly to all of them.

Our production servers are all Linux and we have a fully Linux dev stack. My request for a Linux work machine was denied and we have to work in WSL.

So is oxygen

Disingenuous nonsense. It's basically impossible to encounter a harmful concentration of oxygen in day to day life, while harmful amounts of sunlight are commonplace.

A lack of sunlight also doesn't kill you in less than ten minutes.
