Jupiter. It’s probably the reason all the other planets didn’t get bombarded by shiz and tldr life on earth.

why I don’t even bother watching anything

I can’t be arsed to watch something that will either be canceled after 1… or I’ll watch it but it will be delisted and now I need another service to watch what I already paid for.

They’ve eternally fucked up.

One thing that’s different about the 2020s vs the 2000s is the indifference between pirated and purchased content. Purchasing legally used to have perks. Digital purchases these days don’t even guarantee permanent access to the actual media.

Streaming interrupted the general public’s adoption of piracy and saved corporations asses. I don’t think they’re going to get another lucky break.

1. I was priveledged enough to have positive role models and grow up in an environment where I could form platonic friendships with girls.

2. I started training martial arts at 14.

3. I made a fuck tonne of mistakes, took responsibility, and learned from them.

4. I kept coming back to my foundational beliefs and continually adjusting my behaviour to reflect them.

We don’t really know that either way tbh. AFAIK that kind of data is not public.

Enterprise customers I guess.

Zero day exploits, aka vulnerabilities that aren’t publicly known, offer hackers the ability to essentially rob people blind.

Open source code means you have the entire globe of developers collaborating to detect and repair those vulnerabilities. So while it’s not inherently more secure, it is in practice.

Exploiting four zero-day flaws in the systems,[8] Stuxnet functions by targeting machines using the Microsoft Windows operating system and networks, then seeking out Siemens Step7 software. Stuxnet reportedly compromised Iranian PLCs, collecting information on industrial systems and causing the fast-spinning centrifuges to tear themselves apart.[3] Stuxnet’s design and architecture are not domain-specific and it could be tailored as a platform for attacking modern SCADA and PLC systems (e.g., in factory assembly lines or power plants), most of which are in Europe, Japan and the United States.[9] Stuxnet reportedly destroyed almost one-fifth of Iran’s nuclear centrifuges.[10] Targeting industrial control systems, the worm infected over 200,000 computers and caused 1,000 machines to physically degrade.

Stuxnet has three modules: a worm that executes all routines related to the main payload of the attack, a link file that automatically executes the propagated copies of the worm and a rootkit component responsible for hiding all malicious files and processes to prevent detection of Stuxnet.

I haven’t bought an EA game in years. But a lot of games have problems with cheaters. I think deputizing players who take the time to report cheaters is the best way to combat the problem.

Like the real problem is that submitting a ticket doesn’t deal with the cheater fast enough to stop them from ruining the game for people. Live moderators however are an active deterrent as they can get your account blacklisted/banned much faster.

IMO they should make a reward system for reporting cheaters. Specifically you earn credit towards your own dedicated server or becoming a moderator on an official one.

You have an identity that can be abused to get stuff like credit and loans

I have grandparents. Don’t want them getting scammed.

And hello isn’t enough but a 10 word sentence is plenty.

Yea I won’t even speak until I hear someone on the other end. Even then I disguise my voice until I’m certain it’s a legit caller.

Honestly I’m too worried about my voice/image being AI spoofed to bother answering any calls I’m not expecting.

While I know I’m not rich enough to be a target I lack the cybersecurity skills to chew what I might bite off if I made it personal by trolling them.

I thought microsoft ‘owned’ OpenAI. Why would they incorporate something owned by captain ketamine?

my thumbs flipped the t and the a.

Get a life.

That’s my biggest gripe. Games being released in an unfinished state. I’d rather them be honest, call it an early release and charge accordingly.

My second biggest gripe rides off the back of the first… how the people who make and play games are exploited.

• Devs getting worked to death and thrown under the bus for executive decisions.

• Gamers’ loyalty being taken advantage of including the declining value of Pre-orders.

Totally. As I said, I don’t disparage well made games and enjoyed literally every title you listed except Persona (never played).

But like lets be real. AAA game industries have generally become bloated, increasingly prioritizing profit over product quality. Lots of exploitation of developers and gamers alike.

I’m not saying AAA can’t produce good games.

Nothing against Glen, Dead Space, or any genuinely well made game… but the AAA industry needs to die.

Edit: The number of you misinterpreting this as “AAA games bad” is too damn high.
