Much better to buy the cheaper storage option and swap it yourself. Like +300 for an extra 1.5tb is yikes.

Technically the US government is still a consumer, so the fault still remains with Sony. If they wanted to prevent this then they shouldn’t have made their product a loss-leader. Being thrifty isn’t a bad thing…

You don’t even need to do that if you stop at an Arco station. They have machines for this exact purpose.

CEO: ‘what if, buckle your seatbelts gentlemen… we put a little bit of memory on the cpu?’

Everyone else in the room, looking at each other: ‘should we tell him, or…?’

‘you can do whatever you want with your purchase’

does whatever I want with my purchase

‘wtf no fuck you not like that’

Just turn your graphics settings down, problem solved

“You were supposed to cover me, wtf and you call yourself prestige 8 on cod? I’ve seen bots smarter than you.”

“and they pay me for this shit lmao FUCK YOU MOM I TOLD YOU MY SKILLS WOULD PAY OFF”

One game that I want to buy on gog but have paused on is Wreckreation (Dangerous Driving 2 aka ‘Burnout reborn’), as the gog version doesn’t have any multiplayer, while the steam version does. This is a big deal since the entire ‘spin’ in this follow-up is ‘make tracks, jumps, stunts, and havoc with your friends in real-time, involving the game world at ground level or the open space sky-high’. Up until recently the gog page listed multiplayer as a feature, even though reviews and forum posts say that is not true.

Though Dangerous Driving 1 promised to release on Steam (promotional materials, videos, website…), then bent over and took a cash enema from Daddy Epic, and never released on steam at all. So I might just pirate Wreckreation too, because they clearly want profits over what their users want (honesty, choice, transparency, and equal treatment).

It’s the speakers, fyi

ESU has been extended another year, FYI

Vault is visible and therefore obvious. If you need to be discreet, this sounds useful.

I’m happy with my 10 Fold, but…

Is calyx still a thing? I used to use it years ago. iode is a new one to me :o

No problem :)

Unlocking the bootloader makes the entire system compromised - an adversary can install malware that persists through reboots or even factory resets, since the security regarding verified boot is disabled; they can decrypt the storage and read, copy it; it is relatively easy for a system to experience privilege escalation, and run admin commands - if the user is aware of it or not.

There’s a few other things, and some of it needs an additional step or two, but most things go from ‘impossible’ to ‘trivial’. And when you’re facing an adversary (be it a rootkit in an apk, law enforcement, or government agencies) that expect you to be knowledgeable about tech, they will take advantage of the potential holes users might make along the way.

Relocking the bootloader is incredibly rare on custom roms; I know of only one that supports it (gos). Every other rom I’ve ever used, so in the 50+ range, doesn’t worry about it. So usually the only way to relock is to revert to factory.

Me: doesn’t buy them

Candy: shrinks anyway

Me: “but the internet says that won’t happen!”

That Pikachu is kinda terrifying

An unlocked bootloader for a user that cares about physical security and privacy is a show-stopper. It basically gives up the keys to the kingdom, with a smile.

The ability to run true Linux is nice though.

E: word

So that means they’ll fix it through a software patch, right?
