I can’t imagine the shift would be much bigger than the kids just browsing tiktok/insta during class hours on chromium or firefox instead of chrome.

I also thought that the above quote “Redmond employees did not encounter in their testing environment.” was interesting, because just a couple of days ago the exact same Microsoft engineer said this about the exact same pull request:

Fair point. We did catch it internally in testing (as we use VS Code for all our work, so some folks did stumble on it), but I think we underestimated the impact and should do a better job at that.

I guess he must have changed his mind since then? lol

Underestimating the impact of pushing out known buggy update vibe coded by a PM to millions of users? lol

Makris explains that not only does each Yarbo robot have the same hardcoded root password, but owners can’t defend themselves just by manually setting a better password. Every time Yarbo updates a robot’s firmware, it changes the robot’s root password right back to its default password.

lol

everything that’s wrong with OLED

I thought it would have been about its uneven wear characteristics, but better PWM handling is cool too.

Not misinformed brother. The quote is likely talking about the $20b GameStop is going to borrow for the purchase itself. It’s a pretty common trick in leveraged buyouts to saddle the company you bought with the debt that you racked up to buy it in the first place.

This. Tech workers are just freaking out now that they’ve realized that the machines they built might be coming for them too lol.

Based on my time in the corporate world, the new meta will probably be about how well you can hide the slop in your SaaS until you have enough of their data in your servers to make migration impractical.

No, because the probabilities attached to each option are not equal.

8bitdo pro 2 has gyro, back buttons, and native steam input support for like 40 bucks, so it’s gotta be mostly the touchpad.

Yeah, imagine how horrible it must be for even MBFC to call a site center right.

Nah, it’s supposed to get you to think about what a thing is. You’ve listed random other examples of things but haven’t really gotten closer to differentiating what makes a thing vs it not being a thing.

Probably not the case for the original creator of the post, who seems to live in China.

MBFC for Caixin Global:

Windows 11/10 does some stuff that isn’t in the feature scope of wine/proton, namely on the security front (KDP, HVCI, ACG), which has a measurable performance impact. Whether you want to call that bloat or not is up to you.

Yet another? Are there really so many LPEVs in linux?

Yes, and all that to bypass, not remove, a protection mechanism that runs 100% in user space with no additional privileges. It really would be impressive if it wasn’t so horrible for consumer rights and preservation.

I don’t think the situation is practically any worse than before for piracy if you just ignore these bypasses. It’s not like there was a huge crowd of crackers ready to take on denuvo before they were pushed out by these bypasses. Proper cracks still depend on basically just that one guy.

Playing it on a Windows VM on Linux with your GPU passed through is probably the safest way to play these hypervisor bypass games.

I’m aware. I’m of the very reasonable opinion that all legitimate cracks must run in all the environments that the original program runs in (including compatibility layers). I think we just have different viewpoints of what “a little longer” is and what “crack” is, and that’s fine.

Yes, that is why I said that these bypasses work differently 😅

Thanks, I didn’t know black myth was cracked today. I certainly hope you’re right since these hypervisor bypasses seem to be soaking up all of the attention instead of proper cracks.
