This is peak gamer. I am in awe.

Straftat since it’s not in the title.

Waiting impatiently for Yahtzee to tear that one apart.

I’m in this picture and I appreciate it.

I remember learning the whole torrenting process after years of irc, newsgroups and p2p clients. It took a bit of time but, man, was I passionate about dumping everything I could on to SuprNova way back.

Anymore, I only package and share on private trackers, its just too much of a risk to seed out to public ones. And being completely honest, the majority of my dl’s are coming from newsgroups again. It’s just a simpler process and I don’t feel the leech anxiety.

That said, I also keep an eye out for requests and try to fill bounties whenever I can.

PlayStation has lost a lawsuit against Datel, a company behind popular video game cheats. The legal showdown between Sony and the Action Replay manufacturer dragged on for 10+ years, with the European Court of Justice siding with Datel in a ruling published yesterday.

Third-party PlayStation cheats and add-ons don’t necessarily break EU law The lawsuit stemmed from Datel selling cheats for 2009’s PSP game MotorStorm Arctic Edge (also released on the PS2). The cheat in question enabled players to use unlimited boosts/turbo by bypassing restrictions placed by the game.

Here’s the problem: Sony argued that its copyright was being infringed and that the cheat “latches on like a parasite” to the software, as reported by Euro News. In reality, however, Datel’s cheat didn’t actually modify software, it fiddled with code stored within PSP’s memory, as explained by TorrentFreak back in 2023.

A court had originally ruled in Sony’s favor but Datel appealed, following which the ruling was overturned because the cheat in question ran “parallel commands on the variables stored in the main memory.” Understandably unhappy with the decision, Sony went all the way to the European Court of Justice, which ultimately decided in Datel’s favor (read the decision on InfoCuria).

To be clear, Sony can legally ban players for using cheats both offline and online. This ruling is strictly related to cheat manufacturers, and the issue is that what Datel was doing was a form of modding without meddling with the software itself. That doesn’t violate EU copyright laws.

Multiplayer-only games are a different story, however, because cheats are designed to ruin the experience for those playing legitimately. In this particular case, an advocate likened players using offline boosts to someone picking up a book and skipping pages.

“The author of a detective novel cannot prevent the reader from skipping to the end of the novel to find out who the killer is, even if that would spoil the pleasure of reading and ruin the author’s efforts to maintain suspense,” Advocate General Maciej Szpunar opined.

Neither Sony nor Datel have commented on the ruling.

its not a schooner, it’s a sailboat you idiot!

This is in no way meant to be pedantic just something I learned a few years back. In this context it’s “lede”. I often assumed it was lead as in the frontrunner or leader of the story.

little bitch, you better remember this next time you want wet food.

home screen is flush with them now

Anytime before the lastb year I would of heartily recommended one. Recently though they’ve become unable to effectively stream half the content on my nas and the default home screen is ad infested.

We have a Shield Pro 2017 and 2019. Both are having the same issues. Is just not worth it at this point to jump in.

Hopefully with the switch 2 launch we get an updated version of the Shield TV finally.

A shit ton of services are down right now. Smells like an attack.

wallbase/wallhaven as well

Olivia Munn was a huge tech advocate/personality back in the TechTV and G4TV days.

One of the first times I saw her it was a Linux segment on TechTV in the early 00’s as an example.

This is a huge hit to desktop ownership of the OS. Microsoft has officially made zero-trust a reality by doing this.

I expect there will be even more news at Ignite. Bear in mind 11 has been requiring a MS account for years and 10 is in it’s final months. Pushing users to cloud only Windows allows them (and their corporate customers) complete control of the ecosystem.

If you look at the enterprise pricing and options for Copilot and Security Copilot, they’re building a pretty obvious business model around automating everything from end user basic tasks to tier 1 incident response.

I’m not advocating that it will work, especially as a person in IR but, all the big players are pushing for security automation. All it’s going to take is one high profile incident to shift the CSO’s and the like to jump in with both hands full of “ai” purchase orders.

The shittiest part is, this is only going to eliminate more entry level secops jobs. Jobs that are generally a great place to start in the industry.

same issue here. as you can tell by lack of capitalization.

One thing I’ve noticed is, if I quick switch to another app and open the keyboard, it resolves the issue in Voyager.
