Not sure if downvotes because people missed the reference or they really don’t like Family Guy for some reason

This has been the case for 40+ years. Humans are almost always the weakest link.

I think that’s less about “hacking” and more about modern day devs being overworked by their hot-shit team lead and clueless PMs and creating “temporary” solutions that become permanent in the long run.

This bucket was probably something they set up early in the dev cycle so they could iterate components without needing to implement an auth system first and then got rushed into releasing before it could be fixed. That’s almost always how this stuff happens; whether it’s a core element or a rushed DR test.

This is literally why crypto was invented, as another user put it, “before crypto bros turned it into a pump n dump scheme”

Microsoft is counting on that

EDIT: could they just make this part of the install process? Could they make it like a thing that runs on first boot, if you can only do it from within the kernel/boot loader that is to be authorized?

I’ve made some comments critical of how relentlessly PirateSoftware is being harassed and how annoying it is and how distracting from the actual movement it is.

Nothing wrong with the petition itself, and I haven’t noticed any negative astroturfing about it.

Didn’t ffmpeg just post another huge speed gain?

No, but a short circuit might

We don’t want them to sweat, we just want them to do the right thing by their customers

Most of the time you can set up a payment plan but that’s still brutal

Fark had a “Terrified Asexual Forcemeat” back in the day and that was…memorable

The problems are capable of being fixed. The people of Gotham take to crime to survive because they have been squeezed by the ruling class and it’s the only way to protect what remains of their material conditions.

The Waynes and people like them, the owning class, prop up a system of inequality that forces these conditions to endure.

Bruce Wayne, the richest and most powerful of all, is hurt back (his parents killed) and instead of solving the systemic issues, he doles out individualized corporal punishment as a vigilante.

It’s the ultimate extension of “It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.”: Rich people will never acknowledge that the very system that provides them power is the ultimate root of all the issues they intend to solve via violence. Batman is himself the ultimate villain of the story.

TBH I’ll only miss Ginger Spice

EDIT: Damn, Wikipedia got hands (from Gerri Haliwell’s article):

It’s actually quite comfortable to use, despite it feeling like an Xbox Duke with anaphylaxis and as thin and cheap as the Wii U gamepad without the battery in it. I’m sure that they did much better with the Steam Desk and eventual rumored Steam Controller 2 but they definittknownwhat they’re doing.

Same as everywhere else

I didn’t say cleaning would solve it. I said that a service tech should look at it and it was possibly a simple fix.

Also window units will have to fight against the rest of the house being warm. Interior walls are seldom insulated, warm air drafts in around the unit and around doors. A window unit in one room could cost as much as a dedicated unit for the whole house, as it has to work harder to maintain the desired cooling.

The USB consortium should sue Nintendo to force them to take the USB connector off the switch 2 then.

It ain’t universal if you block it. From working with anything but your devices, and yet you advertise it that way.

When games put DRM in them that requires a server

And I buy that game

And then they take away that server

I want my money back

Or for them to latch the game so it works

It’s not fucking hard to figure out
