- Comment on You can still enable uBlock Origin in Chrome, here is how 3 weeks ago:
Except all problems of a windows system werent on win7. Bloat? Minimal, was mostly the theme that was heavy but could be disabled. Forced updates? Didnt exist yet. Hardware requirements? A running pc. Half assed new ui? Didnt exist yet. Confusing configs that were all over the place? Nope, started in win8 and 10. Software comparability? 90% hell yes.
Win7 was a polished vista, with loads of bloat removed, performance improvements and 1000% more stable.
Win8 started screwing with shit and moving stuff partly and it went downhill from there - Comment on You can still enable uBlock Origin in Chrome, here is how 3 weeks ago:
Tbf, win7 was the best os i ever used. Only to be royally fucked by win8, win10 and win11. Oh how it has fallen…

Thats bullshit. The switch 1 also had this functionality and nobody complained…
- Comment on There's still no sign of Star Citizen 1.0, but it did just get a revamped referral program so the die-hards can tempt in even more saps 5 weeks ago:
Those games had a publisher telling him no to features and needing to finish existing stuff and not have scope creep to begin with. I said unchained peter for a reason :p

Pretty sure its the unchained peter molyneux that was the birth and death of star citizen’s development :p

What is defined as copy here? Cartridge data (game data, not firmware etc) is encrypted and can only be accessed by a protocol that is like spi, but is proprietary, by a specific chip running nintendo code. Or is a copy a full backup of everything on the chip?
Is the copy a raw copy? Has the data been modified/decrypted/or any algorithm processed it?
These things define wether a copy falls under this or not. Check what the fineprint or laws defines what ’ a copy’ is exactly in this case.
If it doesnt, what i mentioned are important to see if what yoy said apply here or not.Like @DarkMetatron@feddit.org said, its only legal if nothing is done with the data. Any decryption using a nintendo key is infact, illegal, and falls under piracy.
This is why dolphin was removed from steam, because they do exactly that. Decrypt the data to use it.
If the process of dumping does any encryption or decryption, you also get in trouble in what they said.
These are the laws, and the lawyer you asked this too must not have been specialised in ip law, copyright and games, or doesnt know the technical details to decide on this.

Interesting writeup with some interesting techniques. I should read these some more
- Comment on Nintendo Is Already Punishing Switch 2 Users Over Piracy ‘Suspicions’ 1 month ago:
Even if that isnt legal (it is), but it will be circumvention of encryption at worst and recreation of protected algorithms, code and keys in a non-nintendo product at best ( and thats before talking about game cartridge content ).
Last i checked that is still illegal hehe - Comment on Apple to Australians: You’re Too Stupid to Choose Your Own Apps 1 month ago:
Same. I agree that people are too stupid to know what apps they should use. But that also includes those using some of apples closed down, limited apps and features haha

- Comment on YSK: Bluetooth Controller Lag in Retroarch Can Be Fixed With Game Mode on TV and a Few Settings in Retroarch 1 month ago:
Even today i find it important as the knowledge of how things work is vanishing and many just accept it works. But how will we build upon an idea if everyone forgets how it works?
There is also the idea within software that layers of bodgework upon one another creates overcomplex and unstable software. Thats everything but software you want to ship.
I understand you dont want all hobby work to reach professional levels, specially if youre trying something new! Thats ok!Its just once you reach a certain level things have to change to make it not suck, dont build on that :')
Also one of the reasons i dont like retroarch.
But i will accept they fill a need that is very much wanted and needed by people and there isnt really anything like it - Comment on YSK: Bluetooth Controller Lag in Retroarch Can Be Fixed With Game Mode on TV and a Few Settings in Retroarch 1 month ago:
I get that, but imo thats dangerous. I will admit i live for tech and i get the basics of it all but understanding it is imo important when changing such settings because it can create other issues too.
But maybe im not the correct person to remark on this because i have a distaste for retroarch :p
- Comment on YSK: Bluetooth Controller Lag in Retroarch Can Be Fixed With Game Mode on TV and a Few Settings in Retroarch 1 month ago:
I find this kinda… Bullshit.
Bluetooth controller’s lag does not get lowered by by turning on game mode on your tv. All you did was lower the response time of your tv to display the image quicker ( by turning off some image processing ). Your bluetooth controller will still lag lol.As for the settings in retroarch, that could change when it’ll process the input and can lower the lag, but without a list of the settings, im calling bs there too

Oh im not saying its perfect or any good, just saying what the logic was :p
I personally use both azerty and qwerty lol
- Comment on I've got something special for you 1 month ago:
Yes, because in french you need the special characters more often than numbers

Im not french and we still use this piece of shit. Thanks belgium.
Also, us/international qwerty isnt that great either imo. Uk qwerty is better

- Comment on Xbox 360/PS3/(to a lesser extent) Wii owners represent 2 months ago:
I know what i did to the ps3, and i know what needs to be done. I barely use the ps3 so its fine for my case. The real fix can also be to redo the ihs so the solder doesnt crack or get damaged again because of heat. Also, ps3 also got a lot easier to debug with syscon, which was also only (relatively) recently descovered. Sure made debugging the ps3 easier haha. Ive left the connection available on my ps3 for future usage hehe
- Comment on Xbox 360/PS3/(to a lesser extent) Wii owners represent 2 months ago:
Ye no, ive have a ps3 that ylod which i reflowed back to life. After it was working again i started digging and the temps the core was reporting wasnt even close to the ihs that i measured with thermal couple. Also the thermal paste is on top of the ihs, not under it and it wasnt soldered in place. Early ps3’s did cook themselves. Less than 360 by a long shot, but they still did!
Also, side note, its funny how some 360’s rrod was not due to the heat issue but can also be caused by power supply failure or the plug being faulty. Thats how i got and fixed my 360 🤣 - Comment on Xbox 360/PS3/(to a lesser extent) Wii owners represent 2 months ago:
Ok so, let me set this all straight.
The wii had nothing to do with the gpu but with the die of the gpu that nintendo had designed and kept secret.
Inside the gpu die is both the gpu (hollywood) but also an arm core called starlet. It runs the security software and thats where (rarely but happened) things went wrong, as it was always running code, even in standby. This had nothing to do with ati.And the ps3 was not what you said. The ps3’s problem was that the ihs wasnt making a good enough contact to the core so the heat of the cpu didnt transfer well into the cooler. You can fix this, but is very tricky and is easy to permanently damage the ps3 in doing so ( you have to cut the silicon under the ihs without touching the die or the pcb, remove the silicon and do reattach it with less glue ). This could be contributed to the manufacturer i suppose
