But if Samsung’s firmware keys or whatever leaked, wouldn’t that apply to all of them? It’s not like they reinvent all their infrastructure for each phone.
Actually, I take it back. These things do happen in the mobile world, they’re just not released publicly. Celebrite etc just gobble them up

Strong ai slop vibes emanating from the article. It’s full of contradictions and listicles. The information density feels way too high for something ai written, but at the very least they must’ve used an ai to fuck up the sentences

Why is it always game consoles that get these leaks and not like, phone firmware or gpu vbios

- Comment on The war on privacy and encryption goes on. This time in the UK. Under the “Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill”, lawmakers now want client-side scanning on every phone and tablet. 2 weeks ago:
What made you think I was proposing a scheme compliant with the bill? I repeatedly said that this would be to prevent such a bill from passing. And explained my reasoning why it would do so.
To make it doubly clear: I don’t support what they’re trying to do. I just think it could do us good to address any legitimate concerns they use as excuses to implement surveillance ourselves so it’s harder to use them as excuses.

As far as I know self regulation by media industries implementing age labels prevented these kinds of “think of the children” bills before. No idea where you got the corporations having private information from, the entire idea is that it would be open source so we can know that it’s not doing anything shady.
Politicians pushing for these bills don’t care about the excuse they present, but the reason they can repeatedly use the same excuse is because it is a legitimate concern for people. I don’t think digging our heels in to refuse a solution even if it were to align with our stated principle of preserving privacy helps us in the public consciousness.
even worse invasions of privacy
“worse” isn’t accurate as the entire point is that it would be designed to be non-invasive (for people who don’t have csam anyways). Of course they’ll keep trying to invade our privacy but with the example of a solution that doesn’t use mass surveillance for something they tried to push surveillance for, they’ll have less leg to stand on.

Can we take an ‘industry regulates itself’ approach to this? Make a foss csam hash scanner and include it in aosp. When they try to pass these show them that it already exists. That way we at least have some transparency to what it does

Just in case you’re serious, I’m not the person who complained about politics being present. I’m just baffled that they were getting piled on because people either think or pretend to think that Luigi isn’t a political figure from the US.
It is an insane statement to say excluding US events feeds into hyper nationalism. The daily domestic news cycle of the US has no effect on the lives of most people in the world. This has nothing to do with nationalism, it’s just geography. And Americans aren’t some oppressed minority that need media exposure. Not to forget that this is a meme about something everyone already heard about, not a news story about a new thing. Being reminded of US politics in random memes simply has no benefit to anyone.
It’s fine if you like seeing memes featuring US politics. You can argue that. You don’t have to launder an opinion into a objective fact to do so.
- Comment on Orange man good 3 weeks ago:
Are we seriously arguing if American politics count as American politics or world politics??
- Comment on Orange man good 3 weeks ago:
It’s an American guy who is being tried in America for killing an American health insurance ceo, which is a thing that’s a problem particularly in America

In news for what? He didn’t win a song contest. The only reason anyone recognizes him is because he briefly became the face of class warfare. You know, completely apolitical stuff

- Comment on Settings you believe ANY game should have? (This is me advocating for a restart/reboot button on ALL games) 1 month ago:
I think it’d be better to have assist modes than difficulty options. As difficulty is traditionally associated with changing things like health and damage (or worse, opaquely disabling mechanics) that are fundamental to game balance I think it is too easy to be abused as a cop out from having to balance the game.
Things like slowing the pace of the game, adding aim assist, visual indicators for audio cues, more lenient hit boxes, more frequent saves would be way more useful imo. Optional mechanics or modifiers can exist, but they shouldn’t be bundled with other random stuff.
- Comment on Settings you believe ANY game should have? (This is me advocating for a restart/reboot button on ALL games) 1 month ago:
- Description of the effects and hardware demands of graphics options.
- An actual benchmark for ’optimized settings’ (even if it’s just crunching numbers) instead of hardcoded GPU names.
- Clear indication of which difficulty the game was balanced for.
- Msaa. Hate running old games at 200 fps with jagged edges and blur thanks to fxaa.
- Instant controls switching between controller and keyboard. Tired of games that pick input type at startup, pick input glyphs at startup, ignore first button press from a different input before switching, disable controller if keyboard input is detected etc etc.
- Not games but steam: just let me force steam input on all games like Proton.
Also how ‘full potato’ do you want it to be? I assume the settings don’t scale below low, so it’d be just turning off shadows, reflections etc. Would even the lowest resolution textures fit in the vram of an older card? And besides, the engine is probably designed for modern multi core cpus so even if the graphics could be scaled down it might not run well

Conversely I can’t remember a game in recent memory that didn’t let me pause in cutscenes.
Just off of my head: Ubisoft games, Control, Shadow of Mordor, Crysis, Witchers, Borderlands 2, Devil May Cry, Celeste support it.

While I do change them if I feel things are seriously off, I don’t think changing the settings mid-playthrough is the solution. It is normal for the same game to have different difficulties at different times so if you’re adjusting difficulty mid fly on a first playthrough you probably won’t get the same highs and lows as intended. It is impossible to know from the first stages how the difficulty ramps up, sometimes they are easier, sometimes they are just mechanically simpler and sometimes they are purposefully difficult so you have to learn key mechanics.
Difficulty options are like consumable potions to me if that makes sense

- Comment on Gaming Pet Peeves 1 month ago:
I’m souring on difficulty options lately. How am I supposed to know the ideal difficulty of a game without having played it before? You’re the developer, you designed it and if you’re confident in your game balance you should pick the default difficulty. Better yet, get rid of discrete difficulties and add customizable assist mode instead.
