The joke is that thumbs typically aren’t referred to as fingers (yes I know they technically are), implying that the OP only has 8 digits.

Well I guess that’s what I’m asking. It has to be stored as data in some format. It should be possible to get that data and not be able to do anything useful with it. Unless the storage on the cartridge itself has some additional hardware that needs to be bypassed (which would be the breaking DRM part). Or I guess the cartridge itself has something separate from the software data that isn’t easy to imitate with a cartridge of your own.

I haven’t paid attention to the details of how copy protection works since the PSX, which put some information in a physical area of the disk that couldn’t be read or written to by consumer hardware.

If anyone knows from a more technical perspective - where exactly would the DRM breaking come into play?

I think I understand correctly that to take (for example) a Switch cartridge and pull out the game on it in a way that it could be playable on an emulator involves breaking DRM somehow.

But if that requires cracking or decrypting, shouldn’t it also be possible to pull a copy of the protected software off the cartridge? And have an actual unmodified backup of the software that couldn’t be played in an emulator without modification, but could still be read by the original hardware?

Must be rough living life without thumbs.

Probably more of a “Do x, y, and z and we agree not to sue you about it”

@.@

Was that your first time or had you been using edibles for a while before that? I’m just curious because 10 mg is a pretty huge dose if you didn’t have prior experience with the stuff.

I tend to avoid games that have that sort of anticheat already, but that looks very useful. Thanks for sharing!

Very relatable. Unfortunately we just don’t live in a world where that’s currently possible right now.

I’m planning to switch to some Linux or other at end of support for W10. I’m hoping Proton will take care of most of the games I want to play, and a single-purpose Windows VM will take care of the rest, if that’s not too big of a security risk to the host OS.

Maybe it would help you to read in an “at least” to those stats

Fuck WordPress, but also it kinda sounds like WordPress is more in the right here.

There has been quite some discussion over whether FUTO can/should be called open source.

If I were a conspiracy theorist I’d say they’re deliberately making it shittier to push voice-to-text for that sweet, sweet AI training data.

But I think it’s probably just incompetence. Keyboards from a decade ago were a lot better at learning your typing/swiping patterns, I feel.

DOJ is really going at it lately.

I can’t wait to hear about the outcome of this litigation in 20-25 years.

Why is Texas such a clown show?

Well, the odds of one partner passing first are a lot higher than both going at the same time :( but that’s a problem for future we.

It’s not the scraping itself, but the purpose of the scraping, that can be problematic. There are good reasons for public sites to allow scraping.

Haven’t looked at their newer stuff so it’s possible they are enshittifying too, but Das Keyboard has been a reliable low-frills brand for me for years (get one with blank keys if you really want to hone your touch typing skills!)

Don’t have any suggestions on mice. I’m using a Razer

I think you want complicit here rather than compliant.
