Did they need to have a longer transition period? Looks like it went into enforcement only 2 or 3 years after it was approved.

Mostly the fat PS3. And the fat 360 too.

Somehow out of everyone I know with one or both consoles, 100% of 360s got red ring, 0% of PS3s got yellow light.

I wonder about that too. New console supports only a subset of 360 games somehow, and with different enhancements. The 360 could also play original Xbox games without much exception, but it was noticeably slower than the original. Halo 2 on

Now that you mention it, I tried that once and gave up. The amount of confusion like this makes me not want to try again (Reddit post from 4mo ago): https://www.reddit.com/r/yuzu/comments/1gkdr5x/whats_th

But the supposedly working Switch emulators only have experimental Mac support at best. Also idk if the CPU arch is really the hard part in general... we never got an Xbox 360 emulator for PPC Mac ;)

Xbox 360 and PS3 emulators are still borderline unusable on my new-ish PC. They're slow, glitchy, and/or hard to set up. Related to what the other commenter said, anyone who says these are good must have a lot of time to deal with

Maybe it's easier at this point to reverse-engineer Halo 3 into a Windows build Edit: wait https://store.steampowered.com/app/1064271/Halo_3/ Well it'd still be nice to get the original experience a

Do the people who hack 360s also know how to prevent them from inevitably red-ringing? Cause that's the biggest thing discouraging me from buying another (my other 2 went red).

So the average millennial actually used a PC regularly for these things? When I look online, I see something like only 15% of households had a PC in 1990, which is about what I expected. But then there's school and libraries.

Yeah, it's a cool trick and not obvious. I think when I said SQL injection gets you the schema, I was recalling some faint old memory from a security course without remembering why this is doable.

I'm 28, and when I was 15, I didn't know anyone tinkering with computers either. Besides myself, and the other kids at school didn't take kindly to that. Now I do know a lot of kids under 15 doing computer tinkering, usually

With this Mac in front of me, am I really digging into technical details more than on a Chromebook or iPhone? Taking away the iTerm2 window on the other screen (since not everyone is a programmer), all I've got is a web browser, calend

So I was born in '96. We actually used our elementary school PCs less than younger years because not as much work had been digitized yet, plus it wasn't a given that every student had internet at home. iPhones became hot 2009-2012

I think that's gen Z. For the younger half, you might have to decide whether or not a Chromebook qualifies as a PC, but idk if it even matters because Mac/Windows PCs are still necessary for work or used for games.

Gen Z also had PCs in the home as children.

It was late 90s / early 2000s specifically, right? N64 was colorful, GameCube a bit less, but not the SNES, Genesis, NES, etc. Kinda the same with the Mac GUIs.

The design is practically begging for someone to try swapping out the computer side. It's almost like a tower-and-screen setup.

It's wild to me how many very different iMac form factors there were a few years apart. Somehow as a little kid, I remember seeing the iMac G3 and G5 (and the eMac) everywhere but not the iMac G4 until much later. One day was like, wut

I don't know if you're thinking about all the millennials or just a few. PCs weren't as common in the early 90s.

Wait, this is known as a blind SQLi, and it's not so blind. You can still use timing to get the info you need one bit at a time. This may be slow, but it's doable without triggering any DB errors, so you have time.

"Blind" SQLi is a thing, but even in the real-life example I could find, it wasn't exactly blind. They could still use the timing to get one bit of info at a time and discern the email addresses. https://www.invoke

That's a typical way, but the errors might alert them, and of course maybe the names aren't so easily guessed.

Hasn't Pyodide already made this leap? I know the pain of dealing with the Python runtime and packaging across machines, but in this case, the browser is providing a pretty uniform environment.

The schema defines how the DBMS sets up its tables and such, so it does quite a bit imo. And if the schema isn't stored in any doc cause just manually punched in CREATE TABLE once, yeah what you said about creating new docs.

If this format is reused across many files, they might want to give the contents of those docs in a different format from the original.

Oops you're right, it's possible that you have no way to read things back.
