All good points, I had totally forgotten about their asset store as well. Thanks!

Regarding Steam input, can't you add any program as a "non-steam game" and apply custom inputs with it? I haven't used it much myself, but as far as I know there isn't any sort of lockout on what you're able to

>Epic invests in devs. Is this true? I know they pay up front to have exclusivity for some games, but I don't know if I would consider that "investing in devs" in the same way that Valve "invests in users." Valve

When someone asks "why should I care," the implication is that they want to know why you care. Dodging the question here is an interesting way to respond

I would guess the reason for that would be that those platforms are willing to pony up real cash and the actual communication protocol itself is no less secure when they use it. See also: Tor, famously developed/funded by the governmen

The word "just" is doing some heavy lifting here... To "just" do this, the agent would need to more or less completely take over the building infrastructure before Mullvad could react which is a lot easier said than done

100% might be a high bar for just skepticism. If there was something massively successful that was even 50 or 60% AI (and the novelty of AI wasn't the sole reason for its success), I think I would be firmly convinced.

I appreciate the way you put this, dang. You're right that I was misinterpreted: I am advocating for a way to unlock the (perfectly good and fully functional) parts that doesn't involve throwing them away and buying new ones. I&#x

If an actor with that sort of capability has physical access to your device for long enough to replace a part in it with a custom one, you are pwned pretty much no matter what you do at that point. They could just as well stick in a keylogg

If the solution to theft is "remotely brick parts that work perfectly," it is a shitty solution that doesn't deserve consideration. Doubly so when Apple's workaround for that is "pay us even more money to double the

This is stated elsewhere in this thread, but if this is the case then Apple should allow users to unpair their parts and allow them to be reused. Gouging users by forcing them to buy a new part that they already have because their current o

I've been into blogs on aviation accidents recently and can confidently say that it's both the attitudes of passengers post-9/11 and locking the cabin by default that has prevented most hijacking attempts. Pilot suicides are

I suppose you haven't looked hard enough, then: A 5 second google search for "marvel movies death threats" turns up multiple articles about threats against directors for killing off Marvel characters. To your point I'm n

I suppose the disconnect then would be that we fundamentally disagree on what the simpler answer is. It's my understanding that a deepfake voice being used as part of a phishing scam is something that can be done trivially (or at least

This isn't a matter of 3D vs 2D, just of graphical quality in general. The comment you're replying to mentions only 3D games, they just happen to be low-poly rather than attempt photorealism.

I am (genuinely, really asking) curious why you think so. I've got no hand in this, but the skepticism around phishing attacks from this site of all places really surprises me. People like Kevin Mitnick have done more sophisticated phi

This would almost certainly be it. Calling someone to record them and using their voice later to impersonate them was done even before deep-fake voices were a concept. With the tools available now, even a short call + the grainy connection

Highly reminiscent of the sort of social engineering hacks Mitnick would run. In his autobiography he would pull this sort of thing by starting small and simply asking lower ranking employees over the phone for low risk info like their name

Seems you're missing the point of the comment you're replying to. You are focused on it presently being legal when the question is, "Should it be legal?"

I run the Kee extension/plugin for autofilling with KeePass, works without issue in firefox (I have tried briefly in chrome and it seems okay there too, haven't used it nearly as much though).
