I have heard their strategy, it’s not some new thing to me. I fully understand it’s their choice. However for me it’s a matter of principle.

It is half the price of an “AAA” game with 6 hours of campaign.

No, it’s about 1.5-2x times more expensive than the same AAA game after 4 years and a summer sale.

I’ll continue not giving them money, then.

Cheaper alternative: flash existing router with DD-WRT or OpenWRT and access advanced features for free.

Promised myself to buy it when it finally goes on sale that is lower than the initial 20€ price

Isn’t the whole point that china wants to implement it themselves so they would know if it’s secure (i.e. has no western backdoors and has chinese backdoors)?

Doesn’t seem there is anything that they can do lol

Normal stand-by drain is less than 1% per hour, for a new device or a phone from 2015. Something is very wrong for it to drain 35% overnight.

they have a deal with authorities only to re-transmit their AM broadcast. No AM, no FM. Prevents demise of AM broadcasts.

Your fault for buying a phone that doesn’t respect you: it has efuses (knox). Buying a regular Android phone that lets you fully restore it without a trace is the way to go.

Cheat software developers are already releasing cheats that operate at this level. If Riot wants to combat them, it has to do so at the kernel level.

and what is their endgame? “Developers are releasing cheats that emualate a mouse. Therefore Riot needs to use a camera to record your hand”?

Lots of other companies are already using similar software to prevent cheating.

If everybody is jumping off a roof, so should Riot?

“This isn’t giving us any surveillance capability we didn’t already have.” Claiming that if they wanted to steal data, their example being a secret recipe, then they could already do so in user mode.

Isn’t the whole point of anti-cheat to survey the computer? If you aren’t getting anything new, then why even use a kernel-level anticheat?

No i can’t. There is no powerful processor for word and spreadsheet on Linux libre office is just a shadow of what MS office native software can do…

Libreoffice is way easier to use than the 40 year baggage ridden MS office with its convoluted menus that get worse with each update. I finished university with libreoffice and there were nothing it couldn’t do.

No I can’t finding an executable and adding it to startup is HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY easy than to use which , where , locate , find commands

no clue what were you trying to say here

No I can’t cause ripping entire dvd with one go is easy as click and done . I don’t have to “remux” or encode or whatever I just want a dvd to be copied in folder and that’s it.

You literally are able to and you can even use the same windows software that is considered the best for disc ripping - makeMKV. It has native Linux version and does one click ripping.

No I can’t cause Linux is HARD for simpleton like me . It’s not useful for simple tasks listed above without touching command line

It’s not any harder or simpler, it’s just you already are familiar with Windows.

Usually you use the car provided by the examining institution anyways

Oh it will show the actual capacity. But who knows when will it fail (i.e. start degrading a lot faster)?

You can predict things when you

• know how things are now
• have seen how similar events unfold in the future

Now who is keeping current performance data for every single battery batch? For every single battery model ever produced?

does it see future? all it knows is the current calculated capacity and cycle count. the battery might continue degrading linearly, or it might go down a cliff. nobody knows.

Too bad it’s not applicable to defective-by-design appliances like the PlayStation 5.

So it’s even better than before?

Hasn’t this been a standard practice for decades? An absolute nothingburger.

are these fully custom?
