Been having a great time getting my shit pushed in by Shai-Halud. We’ve almost got an ornithopter built.
- Comment on Dune game 1 week ago:
It’s okay. 40 fps with fsr3. I have been sticking with my desktop for that reason. The game is absolutely fantastic though.
- Comment on An LAPD helicopter claimed to have ID'ed protesters from above and threatened to "come to your house" 2 weeks ago:
The reason it being turned off matters is because LE has a significantly more difficult time extracting data from that state. And again, a proper faraday bag prevents signal leak.
You guys are welcome to do what you want, I’m just explaining the best way to stay safe if you don’t want to leave your phone at home. There are plenty of legitimate reasons someone may want one as a lifeline just in case.

Unless your device is already compromised, that information isnt being logged when the device is powered off so it’s kind of moot.
- Comment on An LAPD helicopter claimed to have ID'ed protesters from above and threatened to "come to your house" 2 weeks ago:
I’m talking about an actual faraday bag, not a foil bag. That, combined with a powered off device keeps you fairly protected. They aren’t going to get into your phone if it’s powered off.
it also provides an alibi. “see, my phone was here all day long.”
There’s going to be a deviation in usage regardless, it’s not providing an alibi. A gap of time when you’re not using your device that you normally would be is a marker they look for. They key is keeping them locked out (again, power them off).

Having a small faraday bag around is useful too, that’s what I do.
- Comment on Resident Evil Requiem - Reveal Trailer 3 weeks ago:
The more time passes the more 5 and 6 begin to seem like temporary missteps.
I just wanna say me and a buddy played through 5 in co-op and had a great time. Chris Redfield can explode a fucking boulder with his fists and it’s great.

And if you pay for Premium you get all features and zero ads
I like that I get music too. I honestly don’t mind my Premium subscription, I get decent value out of it for the amount of content I view. I just wish creators saw more of that money.

I’d love to play it. Count me in for Steam.
- Comment on Alien Isolation VR is finally here with immersive motion controls and much more 4 weeks ago:
Played this on my CV1 Rift back in the day. You WILL shit your pants. This and Subnautica are just too goddamn stressful for me in VR.

You only have 500 photos of your cat? Is your camera broken? Got the cat yesterday?
- Comment on Warhammer 40,000 Maker Games Workshop Is Doing So Well It’s Giving $27 Million to Its Staff 5 weeks ago:
As a board gamer who generally shops at the same places as 40k players: this does not surprise me in the least. Those goddamn armies are pricey.

“A24” is the only thing here that gives me a tiny bit of hope.
- Comment on Would you like to see a mainline Pokemon game created in the old style? 1 month ago:
Being able to trade with anyone around the world is pretty dope. It was much harder finding another kid with Pokemon Blue so I could get a goddamn Pinsir.

Just make a cool kids UN and you’re all set. With blackjack and hookers.
- Comment on Android phones will soon reboot if they’re locked for a few days 2 months ago:
Basically, the tools that LE uses to unlock devices uses exploits that require the device to be in what’s called an AFU (after first unlock) state. The data on the device is encrypted prior to that first unlock after you boot. If the device is in a BFU state (before first unlock) Cellebrite/Greykey (by far the primary tools used in this space) basically hit a wall.

We’re pretty lucky
Luck has nothing to do with it. We’ve actively decided to allow this shit to happen. The USA isn’t unlucky, we just fucking suck.
- Comment on Bernstein Posits That A 10 Percent Baseline US Tariff On Raw Semiconductors Is "Not Going To Do All That Much," But PCs, Servers, And Smartphones Are About To Get Pricier By ~40 Percent 2 months ago:
because we’re all interconnected; you can snip one country out, and it’ll slightly hurt everyone, but it’ll wreck the country that was snipped out
Conservatives will NEVER understand this.

- Comment on Who's fastest, Sonic or The Flash? 3 months ago:
The only fictional character I think could possibly move faster is MAYBE Superman in some of his more broken appearances.
You simply arent going to get past the insanity that is the “Speed Force” and I don’t think Sonic is going to trick West or Allen.

- Comment on Cellebrite Dumps AI Into Its Cell Phone-Scraping Tool So Cops Can Hallucinate Evidence 3 months ago:
The fourth amendment implications are on point here, but this tool isn’t “hallucinating” evidence. It’s a shitty LLM that lazy investigtors can use to find links between different device artifacts mostly.
Cellebrite is dumping money into this because its the industry buzz right now. They just want more of that sweet government contract money. It’s usefulness (and even invasiveness in some cases) is pretty overstated.
