  • Novel attack against virtually all VPN apps neuters their entire purpose

    Jump

  • The thing is that in most cases you don’t need a VPN to protect yourself on a public network. The ubiquity of TLS on the internet already does a great job of that. Using a VPN on a public network for privacy and security reasons amounts to little more than the obfuscation of which sites you’re visiting, and some fallback protection against improperly configured websites. So while I agree it isn’t entirely a non-issue, it definitely isn’t as big of an issue as one might assume given the scary wording of the headline and article.

  • Helldivers 2 - Sony no longer plans to enforce PSN account requirement for PC players

    Jump

  • That’s in reference to Sony only recently porting many of their published games to PC.

  • It’s hard to imagine that at least half the player base isn’t on PS5 where they wouldn’t care about the requirement, but I’m sure it would still have been a significant hit.

  • I feel like we used to have a lot more modding sites around. The Steam Workshop we still have which is great. Moddb is still active for some games.

  • Stellar Blade was unfortunately censored by Sony but gamers around the world create a petition to bring back its originally glory

    Jump

  • Sony has a history of censorship on games that were fine on pc.

    Do they? All I can think of is all of the PlayStation games that have come out with more gratuitous nudity that Sony didn’t bother censoring.

  • Yeah why would Sony have a hand in censoring it? There are a ton of tittyfull games on PlayStation. Dead or Alive and MGSV come to mind.

  • Since yesterday's launch Manor Lords has already sold over 1 million copies and hit a peak Steam concurrent player count of 170k - highest ever for a city builder...

    Jump

  • It’s basically like Banished, but with a Total War style RTS element. The differentiator, aside from the RTS component, is a focus on historical accuracy, attention to detail and realism, and aesthetics. Banished and its 4,000 clones miss the mark of what city builders about with their heavily grid based building systems. At its core, Manor Lords lets you build a medieval village that looks and functions organically. That’s something the genre has been sorely missing for years now.

  • Why people are boycotting Asus all of a sudden? Asus outrage explained

    Jump

  • I had a $1,300 gaming laptop from Asus from way back in 2013. The hinge for the screen was designed in such a way that it applied pressure against the very thing plastic screen bezel when opening the laptop, so in a very short amount of time the bezel just snapped in front of each hinge. Absolutely brain dead design.

  • TikTok Ban Bill Becomes Law, Gives TikTok 9 Months To Sell

    Jump

  • Isn’t Trump like, famously anti-China. If TikTok was Russian I could see it.

  • TikTok's CEO is feeling the pressure and users are freaking out

    Jump

  • Has an enemy foreign nation with a vested interest in the mass-collection of US citizens data and the unfettered ability to manipulate and misinform the American populace, especially the youth…

    …also had the means to do so, with absolutely no oversight by the government of those US citizens? No I don’t believe so. China’s influence on the minds of the average American has never been this pervasive, it is indeed unprecedented and a bona fide national security risk.

    If you’re suggesting that what the government actually wants is that data for themselves… idk maybe, but not really? TikTok is the 4th largest social media service, the other 3 being American owned already, with much larger user bases, of which most TikTok users probably also use. TikTok doesn’t really have anything that the U.S. market doesn’t already have and in greater quantity. Maybe if TikTok was a company based out of Switzerland, then I might raise an eyebrow. But the fact that it’s Chinese of all things, the national security reason is just already a solid reason to ban TikTok. Whether or not there’s an interest in US government control over that data is little more than a footnote in the conversation.

  • Why not just outright ban it here?

    Thats one of the options ByteDance has. The US government can’t force a company in a different sovereign nation to sell anything. ByteDance has two options, their app is banned in the US, or they have the opportunity to sell it to a U.S. company. That’s up to ByteDance and the CCP, not the U.S. government.

  • What do you mean kill the app? The US government doesn’t have the authority to kill the app. That isn’t one of the options in the table.

    And why does who need it? Who is this “they” you’re referring to?

  • The Tik Tok ban is about keeping big tech out of the hand of enemy nation states.

    In doing so, yes they have also kept it in the hands of the USA.
