haywire

Emulators have always existed alongside their consoles. That’s to only way you get enough talent involved in a project like that. Difference is these days computers are fast enough to emulate the consoles much better and the architecture they use is a lot closer to what the PC is using anyway in a lot of cases, or at least a documented strain of ARM with a few custom tweaks.

The people working on the emulators are pioneers forging a path that takes a massive amount of time and effort. Trial and error, tweaking and ironing out the kinks can last years.

No cosmetic items should cost more than £10/$20 imho £50/$70 is a full game for crying out loud.

Forgive me if this is an overly simplistic view but if the ads with cookies are all served on Google’s platform say then would all those ads have access to the Google cookie jar?

If they don’t now then you can bet they are working on just that.

There are a lot of games that work. Still some that hold out, mainly due to their shitty anticheat software.

Great. So managing printers, network settings and quickly comparing settings from two places becomes a weird game of screenshots and guessing.

Remote support workers of the world collectively shake their fist in despair.

No way on this planet I will be able to explain the new UI to your average office worker.

Love a bit of PRTG, it can monitor pretty much anything via SNMP and the like.

Ok I’ll bite.

One of the best things about dogs is the unconditional love. Look up any list on things people like about them and it’s there.

He had a choice between a dog that seemed happy and asked for nothing and a dog that immediately asked for love and praise.

That is what I’m seeing.

I doubt going children even care that it’s a fidget toy, they’ll still be mindlessly clicking the clicky bits on it or waddling around shouting pew pew pew

Cap guns, potato guns, water guns, just plain clicky/sparky/light up guns and so on, guns for kids are nothing new. Fidget in the name is a gimmick to use bright colours and sell plastic guns to more kids.

Someone else may be able to offer a better solution but it’s more to do with events being tied to the draw of a frame.

Update positions of objects, check where things are each time a frame is drawn. Speed up the rate frames are drawn at and the logic does those checks much, much faster. Causing issues.

AI generated content is great and all but it drowns out everything else on there. Anyone can type a prompt and generate a great looking image with a couple of attempts these days it seems.

The people spending days, weeks, months and more on a piece can’t keep up.

When it comes to WiFi Mac’s mobile phones have fudged them for “privacy” for years, if this goes main stream I see the same thing coming in for Bluetooth.

They promise the macs are random but I don’t have much faith in that.

Looking up a real Mac to see what manufacturer it came from is something I do almost daily sorting out network issues for customers and really is not difficult. From there it takes a leap to guess what the device is if it’s name doesn’t help but more often than not it’s easy enough to see what’s out there, the random macs of phones stick out like a sore thumb as they don’t come back as anything usually so you can then track that around the network and see what they are up to that way.

I acquire the MP3 of the song I want from where ever I can find it. Be that buying it, YouTube converter or elsewhere. Then copy it to the SD card on my phone to listen to. No ads, no data connection needed. I even bother to set the album covers and tags up so it is all searchable in the Oto app I use on my phone.

I’ve be n using Astro for ages. I tried a few and found them bloated and missing something. Astro has some extra bits I don’t use but I never switched them on so it’s not an issue. You can hide anything you don’t use on the opening screen from the options too.

I was expecting some exploit of the ancient underlying OS but that looked relatively simple.

The fact the exploit was able to infect config backups to persist is interesting too.

I’ve been using Firefox at home for as long as I can remember. I’ve not found anything I can’t do with it yet.

If something doesn’t work you can always try it in edge of something either way.

As little as possible!
