Not op but would love to try this on my steam deck too if you’re offering a key

Tetris.

Going to be blunt, looks like they took the original assets and put them thru an AI to with the prompt of “upscale these in the art style of Overwatch and Fortnite”.

Just randomly wondering, which distro did you use on what hardware?

That’s an amazing strawman argument you have there. But please, let’s stay on topic.

The topic was “Apple shares iCloud data with law enforcement, regardless of whether the iCloud data is encrypted or not”.

Sure, here is the legal document from Apple by Apple of what they share with law enforcement.

Included inside is:

III. Information Available from Apple A. Device Registration B. Customer Service Records C. Apple Media Services D. Apple Store Transactions E. Apple.com Orders F. Gift Cards G. Apple Cash H. Apple Pay I. Apple Pay Later J. Apple Card K. Savings L. iCloud M. Find My N. AirTag and Find My Network Accessory Program O. Extracting Data from Passcode Locked iOS Devices P. IP Address Request Q. Other Available Device Information R. Requests for Apple Store CCTV Data S. Game Center T. iOS Device Activation U. Connection Logs V. My Apple ID and iForgot Logs W. FaceTime X. iMessage Y. Apple TV app Z. Sign in with Apple AA. Apple Push Notification Service (APNs)

They’ve been doing it for data on device, not on iCloud (cloud data). They have full access to that.

Apple is still not offering governments a backdoor into encrypted content

You mean like they have to under the USA PRISM Act?

That would be a part of Telsa, as it calls out Musk’s actions there.

Doubt the top down GTA game would ever be made again. Last one was GTA Chinatown Wars and it sold terribly. Started on DS, and was ported to PSP, and now on iOS and Android.

The article points out how other sites and articles are calling it a dead game due to the fact it doesn’t have the 1.5 million concurrent players now (it did in Feb). Not that’s it’s been abandoned by the developer, but that is not getting the daily player counts that games as a services expect and how this game is bucking that trend and it’s a good thing.

Its not clickbait journalism.

Microsoft is already looking at preventing this stuff because of Crowdstrike. While the whole event was completely CrowdStrikes fault, so many blamed (and still seem to blame) Microsoft for it, so they have a real reason to do this.

There might be hope as Microsoft might remove kernel level access after the whole Crowdstrike incident.

Online gaming for certain games. Proton doesn’t work with some online DRMs.

We don’t believe in controlling you and your games. Here, you won’t be locked out of titles you paid for, or constantly asked to prove you own them - this is DRM-free gaming.

From the GOG website.

You’ll need to show some proof for that claim.

They have the app stores ban it from being downloaded if you are in the USA. This is already done, and app stores aren’t affected by on device VPNs, so it wouldn’t be that easy to get around.

For example, you can’t download this app since (I’m guessing) you live in the USA, similar enough. It’s geolocked. Same will happen with Tiktok.

The emulator is more likely that the Switch 2 was supposed to be released this year and ended up getting pushed to next year. This means they have to support the Switch fully for another year and it’s a harder sell when it’s easy for customers to make a choice between:

• A Switch and 3ish games

Or

• A Steam Deck that can play all the Switch games for free

When these are both the same price. The fact that instructions were easy to find and follow didn’t help.

Seems everyone jumped to conclusions about this article.

Yes, iPhones are blocked because they lack security. This is military, so they aren’t worried about basic malware. They are worried about government level security issues (Pegasus, etc…). And let’s be blunt, on this level, Apple keeps showing that they lack security in the real world situations. Yet the latest of a long list of iPhones being targeted and hacked.

Now, where people seem to be badly jumping to conclusions is that the article points out that “many” devices will be banned, so no, I doubt the latest Samsung Galaxy phone will be allowed. They are most likely going to require people use a Samsung Tactical Edition smartphone. These are designed for military usage and prevent phones from being secretly turned on for recording private conversations by hacks like Pegasus. These phones have been around for a few years now, and have likely been thoroughly tested and approved now.

This isn’t some knee-jerk patriotic requirement, but a real understanding of what is and isn’t a secure device, combined with the fact that Korea has to deal with a more and more aggressive China. They need real security for real world military.

You mean the Samsung “Tactical Edition” smartphones?

They’ve been around for years. They were originally built for the Korean military. And it didn’t cost them an “astronomical” amount of money.

Valve should enable a feature to make Steam keys self destruct for these scams. Let them generate a key that is valid for a few hours and if it didn’t get redeemed in that time frame, it no longer works. A key only valid until 5pm of issue date will let reviewers redeem it in time, but resellers will most likely have a dud by the time they try to sell it.

Because doing that would be leaving money on the table

I think they meant JVMs.

In a world with consoles. Java needs a JVM, and those aren’t typical with things like the Switch (2 soon), PS5, and Xbox Series (half the alphabet).
