This is literally the first I’m hearing of this game.

Guy wouldn’t know majesty if it bit him in the face!

-that happened once

Computer over. Virus = very yes

I mean, it’s true they have a lot of games that use predatory systems designed to trick you into spending more money than you need to. As well as games that are designed purely on capitalizing on base feeling of satisfaction of big number go up. But I feel like this is akin to suing casinos for their games having odds in their favor.

How much of it is on the company, and how much on the player? Like where is the line? If a game is designed to be solely addictive with no other value or purpose, probably should not be acceptable, but how do you make that determination as a games value is different for every individual.

Almost impossible to make a blanket judgement on this, and any legal precedent set by this lawsuit will be troublesome no matter which outcome.

Wow this is an actually interesting question. At first it kinda of seems ridiculous that a provider of age restricted content put the onus of said age verification onto a completed unrelated company. To say the manufacturers of devices capable of going online are the ones responsible for verifying the age of the user seems backwards, and a little unfair to the makers of the devices.

But on the other hand, they make a good point that if one company is collecting info on users to verify if they are legally old enough to view the content, and if they are required to get legal documentation to prove it, That could be a security concern. If the site collects that information from it’s users and their network gets compromised, the hacker obtains the legal documents of all of its users. However if you have your device get a certification of your age and be able to pass that cert to a site, and a hacker compromised your device, they would only get the information of that one user. In this way it would act like getting a drink wristband at a concert or large event. Instead of having to show your ID to a bunch of different people, you show it to one, and everyone else just sees that you’ve been verified of legal age without needing to see the actual ID.

On the other other hand, since personal devices are fully in the hands of the users, it would be pretty safe to assume that users will be able to trick the device into believing they are of legal age with relative ease, so it’s effectiveness might not be that great.

Idk man, this is kinda interesting.

Oh yeah, the game looks like great fun. Congrats to way forward. Just Konami is a crap company and I have to crap on them when they do their bullshit. Like say Konami’s future us not in video games, but instead in pachinko machines, then come back to producing games a few years later.

I guess pachinko machines weren’t profitable enough to keep Konami from crawling back to video games. With a nostalgia grab, developed by 3rd party studio.

I think we’re all confused by the question.

TikTok just starts showing a lot of Bill Cosby shorts for some reason.

Pretty similar to what’s going on with Twitter right now.

Let’s be fair here. While that is the point of the Scott and Ramona story, the movie didn’t really put a lot of effort into portraying that. The comics went a little more deeply into that dynamic and fleshing out the relationship, it was still pretty much the background against the character personality showcasing, and over the top dramatic fights. The movie really did nail the vibe and the characters but the whole “I think I learned something” and the end of the movie really downplays the “lesson” of the whole plot. So much so that I don’t think Scott himself even fully understood the actual lesson he just learned. Just that what he was doing was wrong, and needed to change, but not why and what exactly it was he needed to change.

Great movie for sure, even better comic series, but a deep complex plot it isn’t.

In the end, nothing. I had a good solid 9 months of a job I loved, with decent enough pay. But then tanks to corporate execs laid off the entire IT team and outsourced it to a staffing company and reduced the size of the team from 100+ to about 8.

I’m still there because I still need the pay, but now it’s just like every other garbage corporate job out there. Miserable and soul sucking.

Ah it was easy enough to get the iron key unlocked during post, as those HP servers take forever to boot, problem was the bios couldn’t recognize the USB. Whatever firmware is on it that does the security confused the system, and while it saw the drive, it didn’t know what it was and wouldn’t boot from it. In both uefi mode, and in legacy bios mode

One thing I can tell you, it’s that you can’t use them as bootable drives to install an OS from. And if you try to pass the USB connection from an ESXi host to a VM on it, it won’t work.

Aside from that, they’re really annoying to work with.

At my company, we just have a standardized remote management suffix that we just throw at the end of the hostname, so we don’t actually track the urls. For example the server is named frosty, the url would be frostysuffix.

Then we track our servers with either an outdated access database that nobody updates, my locally saved personal Excel sheet, or by logging into one of the 4 different health checking applications that each monitor a piece of the infrastructure. (This part actually really sucks and I hate it.)

That game is so good. Honestly they didn’t really need a release trailer. All they have to do is say “hey, we’re making more golden idol content” and I’m all over it, just tell me when.

Honestly surprised that Tesla allowed him to modify his car without charging him a $30,000 fine or something.

Cool, so YouTube will start putting pop ups that require you to consent to the detection in order to watch videos. That’s what everyone did with the whole cookies thing when that was determined to be illegal without consent.

I think it’s a mindflyer parasite. If you hear it talking to you, make sure not to listen.

And here is the CEO complaining that Google uses unfair policies to push it’s apps. Fuck both of them.
