Sorry I meant to write “if you can do it in sed you can do it in anything” thereby implying it is a subset of the more generally available flavours. The issue at hand however is that there isn’t much in the way of standardisation but 95% of

it saddens me as a vintage games conservator that my present day PS4 will be a brick in a few years. When I have consoles and games going back 40 years. It just doesn’t seem right.

You can be certain they’ve dotted their eyes, crossed their tees, all oversight has been sought and nobody’s rights have been violated. I’ve worked with Dutch firms before and there’s no short cuts where privacy is concerned.
