Not great things, but she did make it.

Not sure if the original dev is still involved, but the team has also renamed their company a few times and released (and abandoned in a somewhat broken state) a few other games.
Yeah, common VPSes are monitored too, it’s a very easy add. Alert on IP ranges from a publicly maintained and easy to find list is not a hard ask. If you ran it through AWS, it would probably pass a lot of basic checks. Using residential IPs will probably get you a bit of time, but I can’t imagine there being a good way to do that without it being very hard for the VPN provider to keep up and very easy for a security company to just make a new list of IPs and assume the whole range is bad.
Your best defense here though is that your cybersecurity team probably doesn’t care that you’re doing this once it’s determined that you aren’t a malicious actor as long as you aren’t creating too many alerts.
Your cybersecurity team is going to be annoyed with you using a non-corporate VPN if you have one. Any monitoring they have will probably have something that will ping on using common VPNs, but at most companies, consequences there likely won’t make it to HR. May make it to your manager though if they think it’s a sign of compromise.
We killed 2 billion of them a week ago, but they just keep coming.
I’m not trying to make a value judgement as to whether this is good/bad/etc, but it is kind of amazing Iran is still able to throw any weight around on the world stage.
They’re not friendly with the US or most of it’s Allies obviously, but they’ve also made enemies of Saudi Arabia (and by extension Saudi Arabia’s allies). They have almost no powerful friends, at this moment in time, Russia might throw them a bit of help, but it looks like their only ally of consequence is India.
The switch is interesting because it probably has the most unique catalog. There are a lot of games you can only get on the switch and there are also a lot of games that are popular elsewhere but just don’t fit right with the switch ecosystem.
They’re making money in the short term by cutting costs. Maximizing perceived profitability likely in preparation for a sell off. You see it all the time, but it’s rare to see it happen to something where the consequences of that are so public.
I get where you’re coming from and I want to be on your side, but this can get real tricky depending on the… I guess belief systems that make up the majority of the people on the bus.
I see where your hearts at, and I like it, but even though a lot of them are being assholes about it, some of the people in the thread make a good point. How we feel about ‘group pressure’ depends a lot on which group is most numerous at the time.
Hey hey, no reason to bring up the past.
I think we agree, the past is over.
I mean, you’re in the right place then my friend, because you’re not going to subscribe to much of anything that has an international presence.
It kinda sucks when you’re in one of the ‘high price’ countries, but there’s lot of countries who wouldn’t have it at all if they had to pay our prices.
From what I’ve heard, I think that is the officially accepted term from the community that most prefer, or am I behind the times?
People have tested them long term at this point. Outside of a few rare exceptions, there’s not a noticeable difference in reliability between shucked drives and ‘normal’ drives. They’re the same stock but just rebranded and have to be cheaper because they’re marketed primarily for retail as opposed to enthusiast/enterprise who are willing to pay more.
Large homogenous objects make noise. Most theories i’ve heard think it’s a result of vibration/internal stresses.
The UPS here just gives you a computer to look at, it’s not super secured or anything special here, if you can get it connected, you can print on it.
From the way they talk about it… sometimes I’m not sure that there actually is a game at all.
If it came out tomorrow that it was all an elaborate hoax, I don’t think I’d be super surprised.
This may be anecdotal or a result of them being new and having less documentation/etc, but in my experience when they do have problems it’s way more of a pain in the ass to deal with too.
I know Firefox is the popular option here, but do we have any serious non-google managed Chromium based browser options out there that don’t have some weird gimmick?
I feel like for subs like those to pop up, the barrier to entry needs to drop really low. We lean even more technical than reddit did now, and to encourage subs like those, you kinda need a healthy population of non-technical people.
Source was included in OPs post, not sure of the reasoning behind putting it through the wayback machine, but to each their own. https://apnews.com/article/entertainment-elections-education-school-boards-teaching-059f2465829ab009394469b95c8cc94a There’s a few more links within the article with other details.
The spreadsheet linked in the post is a bit weird but also has a lot of other interesting supporting details.
Maybe not an eli5, but lots of reasons.
There’s no stable, consistently updating client that everyone agrees on, the real ‘emule’ client hasn’t been updated in over a decade. Once you get past that hurdle, the setup is also a lot more cumbersome than other file sharing options. The network also has kind of a bad reputation because there’s not a great way to see if you can trust a file until you’re finished downloading it and people definitely do take advantage of that.
