  • Capcom says it considers Switch 2’s controversial Game Key Card titles as ‘digital sales’

    Jump

  • A mask ROM is a kind of read-only memory where the desired data is directly etched into a semiconductor during the same photolithographic process that actually makes a circuit out of a planar sheet of silicon. It's pretty much hard-wired data storage, with an indefinite lifespan.

  • Capcom says it considers Switch 2’s controversial Game Key Card titles as ‘digital sales’

    Jump

  • As far as I remember, Game Cards are not mask ROM. In other words, they'll eventually lose their data and become e-waste anyhow.

    This applies to both "real" Game Cards, and Game Key Cards. It's already been a problem with the OG Switch.

  • Capcom says it considers Switch 2’s controversial Game Key Card titles as ‘digital sales’

    Jump

  • Even with Game Key Cards, an actual, physical object has to be produced, at drastically higher marginal cost than what a purely digital license costs in production (basically nothing). And there is a secondary market, which doesn't exist in the digital realm.

    Essentially, I don't see the reasoning behind counting them as digital. All the aspects that seem relevant to any publisher (and, to a first approximation, any user that isn't a conservationist) make them identical to physical sales.

  • Most used encrypted messenger besides Signal, Whatsapp, iMessage, and RCS?

    Jump

  • Just "encrypted"? Probably iMessage.

  • Chromium Blog: Fighting Unwanted Notifications with Machine Learning in Chrome

    Jump

  • Anti-abuse measures such as this are generally designed to not provide that kind of feedback. The website developer is modeled to be an adversary, and you don't volunteer valuable information on what has worked against your countermeasures, and what hasn't, to your designated enemy.

  • Is there a well-supported secondary SMS phone number service?

    Jump

  • Tello gives you a real (US though) number, E911 and all, for 5 USD a month. You get an eSIM you can activate from anywhere in the world via Wi-Fi Calling. Send and receive unlimited texts and get 100 minutes a month for the odd service that insists on verification calls rather than texts. I've had zero issues.

  • What's the deal with Signal?

    Jump

  • Session disables forward secrecy for no reason.

    Personally, I assume it's a honeypot.

  • Thoughts about using a custom domain for personal email?

    Jump

  • If you only ever use services that let you sign up with arbitrary addresses, then sure, you gain resilience against mail provider shenanigans at the expense of exposing a non-agile identifier — the domain name you bought — to any third party you provide with an address.

    However, in a confused attempt to stamp out single-use mail services, some sites are rejecting mail addresses that don't originate from one of the big mail providers, like Gmail, iCloud, Outlook. 'Please provide your real mail address', they'd say.

    If you aren't using any such service, you can use your own domain. Be wary of services that bounce messages to your "actual" inbox without rewriting the involved addresses (Cloudflare offers something like this, I don't get why though), as that can lead to deliverability issues due to DMARC.

    The IAB publishes some Gmail-specific guidance on how to 'normalize' plus-addresses to 'real' inboxes, so that's something that doesn't really do anything for you anymore. Out of the large mail services, iCloud is somewhat notable for offering single-use addresses under the same @icloud.com domain name they use for standard addresses, without having to register extra accounts or other annoying requirements. So websites that want to lock out single-use iCloud addresses would have to block iCloud addresses entirely, which is something they'll most probably refrain from doing.

  • why won't Lemmy let me comment or post unless Idisconnecte from my vpn

    Jump

  • Like basically all cloud providers, Oracle publish their public-facing IP address ranges.

    https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/General/Concepts/addressranges.htm

    Many services block these because, as you are pointing out, standing up VPN tunnel routing on a cloud instance is sort of trivial. Cloud providers publish these ranges specifically so anyone can block them easily. If lemmy.world is not blocking Oracle Cloud already, it's only because they just haven't come around to it.

  • How can I check if my ISP will block Mullvad?

    Jump

  • Mullvad has a 30-day money back guarantee.

    Apart from that, some payment methods (like crypto) allow transmitting arbitrary amounts. At least, paying for years in advance works without issue. You could pay a few cents and try it out, but be mindful of fees.

  • Auf der einen Seite: "hm, vielleicht werden dann Teslas in den nächsten Monaten günstiger, wenn sie nicht mehr gekauft, oder sogar aktiv abgestoßen werden".

    Auf der anderen Seite wäre es interessant, wenn dann irgendwelche Regierungsorgane und/oder Staatsanwälte darauf hinarbeiten, dass die Firma eines Nazi-Sympathisanten in Deutschland nicht mehr geschäftsfähig ist.

  • Your thoughts on the concentration of users around big and flagship instances ?

    Jump

  • In the specific case of Mastodon, an instance pretty much only receives a post via federation if one of its users either follows the creator of that post, or is mentioned in it.

    Discoverability suffers, because this also applies to replies to a post even if you follow its poster. You might see them, or you might not. You look at the post history of one of the users in a thread and it comes up empty.

    This is not much of a problem if you're in one of the, say, top five instances, but beyond that, many functions become increasingly unreliable. Instead of one big microblogging ocean, it feels more like an assortment of a few lakes and myriad puddles with only tenuous interconnection.

    Personally, I've kinda given up on finding (or creating) my One True Instance and am resorting to having profiles on all of the biggest instances. This also has the advantage that arbitrary defederation decisions affect me to a much lesser extent.

  • How to judge which addon/ extension to install? [Privacy / Security]

    Jump

  • Almost all extensions will weaken your security posture. In fact off the top of my head there are basically only two kinds of extensions that could improve it:

    • ad blockers
    • (maybe!) password manager integrations

    Anything else is questionable at best. Maybe you could create browser profiles where you install extensions somewhat more liberally, with decreased expectation of safety.

  • [DISC] Kyou no Ashura Meshi - Chapter 9

    Jump

  • The break between first and second semester is six weeks long on the outside, so she could shed around 6% of her weight safely (or more, in a more unhealthy manner). That would certainly make a difference, but not one that someone would notice right away.

  • Norwich restaurant charges £100 for a pineapple pizza

    Jump

  • I'd like to imagine their pineapple pizza was the absolute best there is on planet Earth, but in spite of (or maybe because of) that they just fucking hate making it.

    Basically, the Ronnie O'Sullivan of pie shops.

  • Multiplicity

    Jump

  • I'd argue this counts as dog-sitting. The dog is around people in every panel, and actual sitting (i.e. doing nothing else) isn't required.
