  Religious extremists.

  Now if only Google would open up RCS to non Google messages apps. It’s just another walled garden.

  Frankly, the buyers truing to get them to take a smaller buyout before firing makes it clear they’re doing what they can to avoid paying it. At the same time, the way the incentive was setup both parties were of course going to try to win here. No one who has 250m is going to part with it without a fight. And vice-versa.

  Hindsight is 2020, but the reward structure should have never been setup based an arbitrary deadline but instead on a total level of success

  I stream from my PC with moonlight / sunshine and it really is a game changer for AAA games. I.E. oblivion remastered ATM ;)

  Valetudo is the only high end vacuum I’ll ever want.

  And there it is. Fuck xfinity/comcast

  Or just a VR headset

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New Fairphone turns into a dumbphone at the flick of a switch⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Agreed. Maybe you can pick the default messaging app.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stung by customer losses, Comcast says all its new plans have unlimited data⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, they’re still doing the exact same shit, just a little more transparent about it: Treat your customers differently based on if they’re new or not. Basically these plans just make it more obvious to customers. If you don’t cancel your plan yearly and resubscribe as a new subscriber, you have to pay an extra $180 a year. Simple as that. And you still have to do that every 5 years.

  Honestly it’s insane. Esp the I still have to cancel after 5 years to keep not getting fucked.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Broken Arrow devs confirm their anti-cheat will not block Linux, SteamOS⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No no, I know that it’s not kernel level, I just fail to see how, someone with complete control of the memory, can’t defeat all anticheat. To be fair, if it isn’t a client authoritative game, it could.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stalker 2's broken A-life system is finally working as designed, according to GSC Game World⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I held off on buying this. Does it feel good / worth buying now?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Broken Arrow devs confirm their anti-cheat will not block Linux, SteamOS⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So… You can cheat then.

  Valve really needs to offer some sort of hardware attestation so the steamdeck can actually offer anticheat. As long as people can compile their own kernels any game has already lost from the start

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US | House Bans WhatsApp on Congressional Staff Devices Over Security Concerns⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  How is it not actually an allow list vs a deny list. They should be clearing apps that can be installed and not the other way around.

  Yep. I can’t wait to get mine and be in complete control of my data. No cloud bullshit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How Marc Andreessen’s Signal group chats helped spawn the tech right⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah idk why people are caught up on this. Encryption is good and absolutely fundamentally important to society. And yes, shitty people can use it too, it doesn’t make it bad.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨V Rising's first big post 1.0 update brings a bevy of additions, combat reworks, and Steam Deck support later this month⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  After reading the reviews, I can’t believe the devs don’t make saves forwards compatible or have a migration process.

  Would pick this up but that part is just insane. Unable to migrate your castle to another version of the game with new features…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google makes Android development private, will continue open source releases⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Google continues to do everything they can to close android down and force everyone to use their os. Imo this is a direct attack on graphene OS and anyone based on aosp. Now for every release developers will have to manually merge basically an unusable mess of changes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The wildest details in the Facebook memoir Meta is trying to bury⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Right

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google has a fix for all of the broken Chromecasts⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So you’re saying, that a private key within the TEE expired… So they probably had to write a custom TEE program in-order to rotate it? Along with actually securely delivering it.

  So… Did we (someone) manage to capture it? Ultimately though each device is going to have to request a new key, so even with a jailbroken TEE you’re still only going to be capturing the key for that specific device. The key would be how they implemented the verification that an expired device was allowed to get a new key and that verification… Idk not an expert in widevine keys and such but I assume that cert chain expired.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google has a fix for all of the broken Chromecasts⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I actually can’t believe how long this took them to fix.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Undocumented 'Backdoor' Found In Chinese Bluetooth Chip Used By a Billion Devices.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I really haven’t seen any details. Most comments I’ve read indicate they think you already have to have access to the device and that this is just undocumented opcode calls. I.e. not a remote Bluetooth stack issue or remotely exploitable.

  Given an opcode, as noted in the article (vague on details) and yes, I did read it. This doesn’t give me much cause for alarm.

  I agree, but enshitification marches on.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jeep Introduces Pop-Up Ads That Appear Every Time You Stop⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It seems that there may come a point where screenless and disconnected cars become more and more valuable. That and jailbreaking cars is going to become a requirement.
