In the EU the courts have so far considered that such hacks are acceptable as long as they have a purpose other than circumventing DRM/TPM. But this actually goes further than games. Today many devices like smart home appliances, cars or even implanted medical devices can cease to work because...

And also finished The Case of the Golden Idol a clever investigation game that shows you a scene frozen in time and have you figure out what happened (most of the time "who killed who and how"). It's really good, some of the scenes feel very complex at first and then you start picking up on...

Recently finished Technobabylon in ScummVM. I have good memories of Gemini Rue from the same studio and I was a bit disappointed by this one, even if it's still a good game. The setting is interesting, the puzzles are great (except for one at the end of the game). They make sense without being...

To be honest if that solution was to happen to me I'd probably panic and freeze. I probably wouldn't figure out that throwing someone on the train could help. So I'd just stand there, probably look away as the train fall down and consider that there was nothing I could have done and that they...

ptitSeb just has to stare at the code and it ports itself

Recently finished Fallout 2 (un-modded) on my phone thanks to the Fallout2-CE port It fixes some of the first game most glaring issues (but not all of them) and is much more vast and rich. This comes with some drawbacks as the experience is a bit more watered down and it really shows that...

The way I see it, Macron isn't an agent of one entity in particular. He's just an agent of big companies and rich people. And I don't think it's just because he's getting paid for it (though he is, there is for example a clear proof that he had been paid by Uber to pass laws so that they could...

If I remember correctly, my Zodiac would start, display the splash screen and then freeze with white noise in the speakers. But to be honest I don't have any use for it now. For the Pandora nubs, they were custom-made with some internal firmware for calibration and they are no longer available...

I don't have any GP device, I have a Tapwave Zodiac but it's broken (or bricked, I'm not sure). I still have my Pandora, I'll try to get its LCD cable repaired/replaced next week. The left nub stopped working properly a few years ago and the the right nub isn't working very well either but the...

If I understand correctly, wrapping a library requires some code specific for that library. Doing so for commonly used lib is interesting but you can't do it for all libs.

I've been playing Fallout 1&2 on my phone thanks to the Android port of Fallout CE. I've finished the first one. I realized I only remembered half the game so I wonder if I really had finished it when I first played it a few months after its release. It's still fun, it still has a few obvious...

That analogue clock story is probably blown out of proportion, but I also fail to see it as a major concern. Most people nowadays can't read time on a shepherd dial or a solar ring or can't start a fire with flint and steel.

Did a Nexus-6 write this?

It's been increasingly bad since the release of ChatGPT-4. Now for many searches the top results will be LLM-written bullshit "SEO" articles. Internet search is becoming useless.

The US government doesn't borrow money: it issues it. All that talk of "borrowing money" or "spending more than we have" is mostly a way to justify budget cuts. The US government could repay all this debt by entering some numbers in a spreadsheet.

I don't see how it's absurd for a government to spend 6 times more on non-army stuff vs army stuff. If anything, the defense spending of the US is the absurdity. As for the amounts, it has to be compared with the GDP growth. It'd be absurd not to spend more when your economy generates more. For...

Sounds like something out of Jet Set Radio.

There's a lot of padding in the Mass Effects. If I remember correctly it's a bit less obvious in the sequels and the better combat makes it a bit less boring. Anyway, Mass Effect is still a pretty generic Sci-Fi action-RPG. It's generally decent with a few good moments here and there. Where it...

I had a similar experience with Alice: Madness Returns. I was ready to try an "unofficial patch" to remove the activation/copy protection when it finally started working correctly.
