Edit: on further inspection this is covered in the article

“We leveraged the fact that many people know about the world and story of the original Final Fantasy VII when we designed the remakes,” Hamaguchi told me during the leadup to Rebirth’s release. “In this title, our general framework follows the original storyline, but at the same time we incorporated elements clearly not included in the original, such as the Whispers and Zack.” This creates a unique opportunity for a remake: uncertainty. “That sort of thrill is very important for this title as a piece of entertainment.”

We have a name for that, “reboot”. Or more cynically, “cash grab”

I love that the replies to you are half saying that it’s an impossible problem, and half linking to existing solutions.

Since the title gives nothing away:

This is an extensive article by Ed Zitron on how the technology that you’re required to interact with every day has become explicitly user hostile. It’s a 42 minute read, but IMO worth reading at least the first section.

Ed Zitron also has an excellent podcast on the topic of tech companies being awful called “Better Offline”

This maneuver may sound simple, but it involves an entirely new and unique code for which the researchers have sought a patent.

How to make your discovery worthless in a single, idiotic move.

There’s always package forwarding. I’m about to find out how bad an idea that is.

It does require a court order, but notably you do not need to be suspected of a crime.

Dont we have a right […] to not self incriminate?

Not that I’m aware of, but if you find otherwise, let me know!

They can compel you to reveal your password without a warrant but can’t touch your phone? Is that a state law?

And randomly crash.

Sounds like wine is emulating correctly!

That kind of sucks, but it should only be for a dev release

Interesting to see how different that is from Australia. In your example only lane 3 is a passing lane, and “undertaking” isn’t a thing, it’s completely legal to overtake in any lane.

These guys are Canadian and I’ve always thought their tech seemed really creative and novel

How about MNT Reform or it’s Pocket little brother?

They get you

• Full mechanical keyboards, ortholinear if you’re into that
• Modern components
• HIGHLY modular and repairable - their main thrust is making messing with your internals accessible
• No sticky goo coating
• Cyberdeck aesthetics (esp the Pocket reform)

They do NOT get you

• Low price - you didn’t mention a budget constraint
• Thin. They are chunky kids, though certainly the Pocket reform has a reasonably portable profile

Did you… try?

Ironic slang is just slang that hasn’t grown up yet.

What plugins can you recommend?

I think the only markdown plugin I’ve used was for table alignment.

Thank you, I love this

After reading that whole article I feel no more enlightened.

They mentioned secure boot, is secure boot part of the exploit or does the exploit invalidate secure boot?

It’s amazing to watch the old, rusted machine of antitrust slowly grinding back to life, bit by bit.
