Pretty much everything from Weird Al.

And Microsoft for monopoly reasons.

Add AT&T, Time-Warner, and all of the other ISPs that own streaming platforms for anticompetitive reasons.

I'll believe HL:3 is real when it is for sale, purchased by me, and played in it's entirety. And even then it might just be a particularly vivid delusion.

HL:3 is gaming's dark matter. Until all other possibilities are definitively ruled out, it's not HL:3.

No, given that one of the points of Outlook (and most email apps) is to store a local archive that can be read even when offline.

Well, that's kind of shitty. I know those models can run up to five figures, and if those rules aren't enforced uniformly across the board for everyone then it does just seem like they're targeting a particular class of creator.

As a side note, I find it funny that the article refers to then as "AI models" when no AI is typically involved.

Pennywise kills a handful of people every 27 years and has been doing so for 300 years or so. He probably has kill count under 100.

Between the kills he gets that are directly shown on screen and the number of casualties you could reasonably assume were the result of his actions, Heath Ledger’s Joker probably killed a few thousand people.

Ronald McDonald on the other hand, was the main marketing vehicle for a company that sells food products that are incredibly unhealthy and addictive. He is probably indirectly responsible for the deaths of millions of people.

Heart disease kills several orders of magnitude more people than extradimensional demons or psychopathic clowns.

He didn’t use encrypted everything. He had a public telegram group chat in which he stored a lot of his material. Which, as many people in the comments on the article pointed out, is not encrypted, but is presented by telegram as if it is. That’s likely how they caught him.

The game in question is Fallout 4. It's a single-player game with zero online components.

Just like with Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim, as well as Fallout 3 and New Vegas mod support is an actual feature of the game with officially released tools and documentation for creating mods.

Given that, the fact that mod support was a major selling point for the game (IMO the only selling point), and the age of the game, it would have been better if Bethesda stopped supporting the game altogether rather than push updates with no meaningful changes that break a feature that for some people is the primary feature of the game.

I think it should also be noted that the games industry is not audited for security to the same degree as a lot of other industries. So vulnerabilities may not be found until years after launch and then go unpatched indefinitely because the company has already moved on to the next thing.

Hell, one of the older CoD games had an RCE vulnerability that as far as I'm aware is still not patched.

Plus, major publishers like EA are now pushing to create their own kernel-level anticheat in-house. Why should anyone trust them to create a secure piece of software that runs with the highest permissions possible when they can't even be trusted to create stable, functional games?

One-electron Universe

In a corporate setting you're probably using Active Directory for authentication and don't have a local account anyway.

There's also the type that constantly has extra (possibly clarifying) thoughts in the middle of their typed sentences. So, they use parentheses to add those clarifications because having to retype the sentence would derail their train of thought and they'd then completely fail to convey anything.

Was Weird Al on Breaking Bad?

While I can appreciate and support the MS hate, I should probably point out that the Firefox.exe.sig file is a normal part of a Firefox install, it is not the exe, it did not get renamed or encrypted. It’s likely Firefox was in the middle of an update when your system crashed.

Yeah, there was a great video on YouTube I saw a few days ago that went over why Sony is backing Pocket Pair, why Nintendo is making this case about patents, why that's a massive risk for Nintendo, and why Nintendo is willing to take that risk.

It largely seemed to come down to the Nintndo-Sony rivalry that started when Nintendo backed out of the SNES era deal to create the PlayStation. Nintendo is trying to crush Sony's potentially viable competitor to their largest franchise and are making the case a patent case because that's the only route they can pursue. If they lose, Nintendo stands to lose those patents.

The video in question

Fun fact: the cork stopper in a cask, keg, or barrel is called a bung. The hole into which it is inserted is called a bunghole.

Bunghole is also a euphemism for anus. So, a question for any morticians here: can we start calling the corpse plug a bung? I’d consider a career change if I got to tell people about the bung in grandpa’s bunghole.

Is there a link to the code? I know I could probably search for it, but if you're going post about the code being public you could at least include a link to it.

Yeah, I’m pretty sure Steam and some of the drivers for valve developed hardware (like the controller) are the only closed source parts of SteamOS.

A Blu-ray can hold up to 128GB. Most games aren’t bigger than that, though some are. And including multiple discs to fit the entire game used to be standard practice, and could still easily be done.

This is for DRM, online install for a physical game has always been solely for DRM.

There have been several shows that I’ve watched on CR that have been made a lot better by being able to read the comments section. Either because it’s One Piece and there’s always one guy giving you the timestamp to skip the recap or because the series I’m watching is actually pretty bad and a bunch of people are making jokes at the shows expense.

It’s been rare that I’ve seen someone on CR be overly negative or toxic without getting shutdown fast. It’s usually pretty wholesome and fun.
