  • While I think it is a recompile, you don't need the original assets, it just works. I guess it's abandonware and the original rights holders don't care?

  • random reminder that an easy way to say fuck you to google is becoming completely obsessed with RSS feeds. they have gone out of their way to kill them.

  • That's an overreaction, sometimes Krampus just whips them with chains

  • I know a lot of the people reading this are in the USA, but can we get into the habit of including context in the post title or description?

  • If she worked at Bletchley or somewhere similarly top secret during the war then she probably wouldn't have talked about it because it was classified for decades

  • Google sues web scraper for sucking up search results ‘at an astonishing scale’

  • Ah but you see every youtube user granted full rights for google to do whatever they want with their videos by uploading them, it's all totally legit of course!

  • Pixel 10 finally gets its long-promised GPU driver upgrade, but the real test starts now

  • There were three steam games posted in !freegames@feddit.uk yesterday, and three more earlier in the week!

  • Seems a bit mad that with all their money and a game already made they couldn't be bothered to file off the serial numbers a bit more. I imagine this happens all the time with licencing deals, I know for instance Warcraft was originally written to be a Warhammer game.

  • So if I'm identified as unique how bad is that? Is fingerprinting so critical that it makes all my other attempts at privacy pointless, or is it a niche edge-case that you don't really need to worry about?

  • So close yet so far. Why must hardware support be so weird?

  • Something I discovered recently is that you can connect an android phone to wifi, connect it to your computer, and enable "usb tethering" to pass the wifi connection to your computer as a wired connection. Maybe not practical for everyday use, but could still be useful!

  • FYI it's the V1 which was the doodlebug, it was more of an unmanned plane (or bomb with wings) than the V2 (which was the missile)

  • Depending on the system it can be really easy to dump/rip your own discs. Hacking a Wii for homebrew requires jumping through a few hoops but then you can dump Wii, GameCube, and even Gameboy games. You can dump WiiU games by inserting an SD card and going to a single web page in the browser!

  • Entomologists reserve the term bug for Hemiptera or Heteroptera, which does not include other arthropods or insects of other orders such as ants, bees, beetles, or butterflies. In some varieties of English, all terrestrial arthropods (including non-insect arachnids and myriapods) also fall under the colloquial understanding of bug.

    Sounds like those entomologists should have tried a bit harder either in educating the masses or choosing names!
