- Comment on Low-tech tactics still top the IT security risk chart 11 hours ago:
Yeah, even the brute force attacks that used to be prevalent only worked because people made vulnerable passwords or lazy security settings.
- Comment on I’m fascinated by this open-world delivery game that sounds like Death Stranding on a horse in 13th-century Mongolia, with “unparalleled equine realism” 6 days ago:
Death Stallion
- Comment on D&D makers are spending $1 billion on their own video games, promising they’ll be ‘quality and authentic’ like Baldur’s Gate 3 1 week ago:
Based on how they bought DnD Beyond and then stopped supporting user experience improvements in favor of increasing the annoyance of the Marketplace, they will be nowhere close to BG3 and will most likely be microtransaction hell.
- Comment on Palworld is bringing in fun new Pals for you to put to work 1 week ago:
Did they ever fix the Pals not eating on a server when nobody is logged in?
- Comment on Cops can force suspect to unlock phone with thumbprint, US court rules 3 weeks ago:
It’s like that except fo the fact that ut us not at all like that.
It is forcing someone to grant access to information that requires a search warrant.

Always have been.

When you suck so badly that sleeping on Paramount’s couch is an improvement…
- Comment on I used to be a frame rate snob but owning a Steam Deck has made me realise the error of my ways 1 month ago:
It also depends on the type of game. Quick turns with lower frames an fps shooter will seem very different from low frames in a side scrolling platformer. Third person games often feel smoother with the same frames than with the first person view because the way the game turns is different.
- Comment on Judge Slams Elon Musk For Filing Vexatious SLAPP Suit Against Critic, Calling Out How It Was Designed To Suppress Speech 1 month ago:
Words are great and all, but couldn’t the judge do something that actually impacts Elon in any way whatsoever?

Why would they stop the easy way around needing warrants to spy on citizens?
- Comment on Dakota Johnson on ‘Madame Web’ Blowback: “I’ll Never Do Anything Like It Again” 2 months ago:
This is often over looked when people wonder why someone might sign up to something that is a trainwreck, and it usually comes down to the final film being far different than the original vision. Hell, a movie can be destroyed during script rewrites, bad scenes, and even during the editing process! Bladerunner has multiple versions based on editing the same filmed scenes. The theatrical version was ruined by insistence on a voiceover and the final cut is the best version due to what they cut out or left in.
This one sounds like the Bladerunner theatrical cut being ruined by execs, and that does suck.
- Comment on Roku Issues a Mandatory Terms of Service Update That You Must Agree To or You Can't Use Your Roku | Cord Cutters News 2 months ago:
Yeah, I just agreed because one sided bullshit being added to something I already own lets me continue to use it until whatever they added even comes up and someone else might sue them in the meantime because ever changing terms of service are not enforceable.
