   If you have something that valuable, consider making regular backups of the things (stored on Dropbox) to another location (Zip and send to Amazon S3 monthly for example). I wouldn't rely on just Dropbox even with the IFTTT check.

   Same. I've spent about 6 years doing gamedev as a hobby and have never released a game or have anything to show others when they ask "Oh what have you finished?" (because like many others I spend far too much time pursuing un

    Not just the "Masters" but any other foreign company that incorporates in Ireland that have incorporated there and may do so in the future. Its a smart move for Ireland to appeal it.

    There are 2 ways. It can do a quick reinstall or it can do a full flash that wipes out everything (you can force it to do that by holding shift or the Apple key or something when clicking the restore button).

    ... or you could just hook it up to iTunes and let iTunes flash the whole phone with the latest iOS from scratch (9.3.5 fixes these exploits) instead of letting the on-device updater do it. No need for a whole new phone.

    Curse is terrible. It's like the (current) Sourceforge of gaming sites. I seriously don't know why Twitch/Amazon would consider acquiring it.

    The article (and the person you're replying to) is referring to lossless compression. Converting to H264 and AAC may maintain a high quality at a lower bitrate but they're definitely not lossless.

    Also I'm thinking they don't use smartphones that leak all kinds of other data and instead cycle thorugh simple, cheap/pre-paid, disposable phones which would make establishing long-term patterns more difficult.

    Thanks for creating that. I use OBS so this sounds perfect. Could you recommend a Blackmagic product supported by your plugin that can capture from HDMI (cheaper the better, I plan to use it for hobbist-level capture of desktop/games)?
