    Wonder Woman 1984 is fun, but doesn’t quite capture magic of its predecessor

    Yes, it stank of another un produced script they rammed Wonder Woman into. Sometimes this totally works like Die Hard 3. Here it absolutely did not in any way. It was a bad movie made worse. I’ll bet the original movie was just Kristen Wig’s character.

    Copyright law is bricking your game console. Time to fix that

    Yes, that’s no different from virtually any other hardware based secure platform. Repair is not modding. Modding is done by pirates only. Homebrew is just code from piracy dor 99% of people using it, and should be severely punished. There are many open platforms to write for. Do that, and if...

    Copyright law is bricking your game console. Time to fix that

    It’s not illegal to repair Xbox drives. There’s a board you desolder two wires on and swap it on the new drive. Zero DMCA violations, and since 95% of the failures are the mechanism and not the board, and it’s probably higher, no issue Stop using slot loading drives, they’re walking balls of...

    A security hole that enabled piracy was discovered in the Linux half. This,combined with the fact that universities ans even the Air Force were buying up scant stock to make computing hubs cheaply (Sony was selling at a loss). It wasn’t knee jerk at all, it let you run pirate software. The...
