sexy chart!

Could use some anti-malware/AV for beginners and privacy enthusiast level.

Not everyone in there is running a secured OS.

PSHAW Even TOTO knows it originated in Africa.

Pay enough for them to afford two kids, a house and a car without dual-income and don’t have them work so many hours they can’t enjoy them.

The ruin of modern games is the perfect shit storm of:

• The quest for the other side of the uncanny valley, making releases closer to decades
• The death of the in-house game engine.
• The half-baked attempt to cross-platform consoles with PCs
• The half-baked attempt to cross-platform mobile devices with consoles
• The merger of Live Service Games and Free to Play
• Game prices not following inflation.
• Everyone and their brother trying to take a major cut.

Shit is more complex and resource intensive than it has ever been, we’re hardly even looking to optimize these days if it works.

You get to choose from a couple of engines, who want a serious cut, or a free engine who has serious problems on consoles.

You need the game not only to pay for itself in sales, but in in-game sales without making it to gambley or making it too pay to win.

Adjusted for inflation, Mario Odyssey is $20 less at launch than E.T. was at launch for the atari.

Still beat GoT marginally :)

Here’s the details on the financials

They’d been paying a fortune for other ways to get more titles which never panned out. Steam said fuck the little guys so they’re trying to capitalize on that right now.

Dell’s accidental warranty used to be solid AF. I installed Eve OL beta and my graphics card cooked. (even had stripes in the bios) They replaced the entire laptop with a late model P4 of equivalent value to what I paid.

Those days are long gone, though.

S***, I don’t even pirate steam games and I love the script thank you.

Lots of toddlers out there with phones/tablets.

Dicey proposition, some mid and older genX grew up before home computers were commonplace.

When I was in my tweens, only really affluent people had computers. Schools had one single computer in a classroom or maybe a couple in a lab, and almost no one was computer literate.

Well, you don’t have to drive it’s kind of reckless to do that too.

That the risk you take

Well someone might just hit your car, that’s the risk you take by driving, nobody got hurt, they shouldn’t be held accountable. I would have shrugged it off and started taking the bus.

This is fun, we can remove all accountability from everything that’s not harming someone directly!

You also need to scrub over those files so they cannot be put back together forensically.

Look at the code, though; it doesn’t do any of that.

You can kick off a trim in powershell and erase all the whitespace. https://blog.thomasdamgaard.dk/posts/2022/03/06/trim-filesystem-from-powershell/

You can also do secure delete on files from powershell and HDD free space wipes. https://www.majorgeeks.com/content/page/how_to_securely_delete_files_in_windows_10.html

48PB in excess of 120 million items.

Most of our distributed storage sharing systems break down long before that.

Even if DHT could handle it, we’d need like five full copies of it out there for it to be safe, and not one or two people with multi petabyte rigs, when you get really distributed.

2100 22tb drives

~700k dollars.

If you factor in volume discounts you can probably afford enough discs to make it a bunch of nice raids.

Of course, then you’ll need a bunch of really expensive chassis to be able to mount them and have them working.

Seems like somebody could stand a spare a couple million to make that happen.

That or make some attempt to do a free space wipe, or prune the registry, or, you know any reason whatsoever to actually write it in c++.

It’s probably a sufficient wipe to keep your partner or kids from finding stuff, But it’s not going to stop a state agency. Like they won’t have logs from those services from your IP address. Like your registry isn’t absolutely chocked full of your history and the history of those apps.

Forensic analysis on that drive will net them most of every one of those deleted files.

And frankly of all the things to wipe, wth is up with steam?

Not at all what I said

That’s just a strawman, the same goes for killing or raping people.

The people themselves aren’t entirely compassionless, But bathed in the propaganda, they’re told that the homeless or homeless because they’re bad, awful people. Most of the right-wing world view is designed to embrace greed by turning victims into Boogeyman.

That’s where I want it to be. But I’m worried it’s not
