well Android Verified Boot also allows changing keys! but like 15 niche phones implement that function out of thousands. out of which it is broken on several such thatit bricks the phone permanently. further, android hardware attestation can make use of AVB, but virtually no apps use it, every app doing such a verification depends on google play integrity, for which you can’t change keys and still pass the ckecks.

google has already implemented on android what microsoft is only just dreaming of to pull off, despite preparing it since much earlier. I don’t know what they are waiting for, everyone knows there would be no negative consequences to them.

I believe it’s a relatively new feature, must have been added sometime after android 8

Your online games are going to continue working? All of them?

Definitely not “every game I bought” are online, let alone online only. I think I don’t even have an online only game.

You’ll be able to go to a publisher and say “I bought your game, can i download a copy”?

that’s not what I said. I said continue to play, so that itvwas already downloaded. you can also just copy lots of games from someone else (with their permission) if you don’t have it downloaded.

I’ve even been logged out of steam after not playing for a year and that required an internet connection.

did you have offline mode enabled? if yes, then the logout is a bug. but even then with goldberg emu, a single drop-in file, you could continue playing most downloaded games by running them from the file browser.

half the comments here have single downvotes don’t worry about it somebody just hates everyone.

which game? likely a triple A game with stronger DRM. do you mean it disappeared from your library, or it just doesn’t run?

they don’t need to retrofit their entire website. GDPR does not require the website to do anything, it requires websites to not do certain greedy things. that’s all. that’s the nice thing, they could just remove all the tracking code and they are compliant.

the “problem” might be that we don’t take kindly users that visibly argue in bad faith, ignoring points given and repeating cemented views.

can I ask what makes you prefer lemmy over reddit?

the reason you are downvoted is simple actually. you paint it like we hate all forms of technology but that’s wildly inaccurate. people take that as an accusation and they don’t like it, it makes it seem like you are here to argue in bad faith, with your opinion already cemented.
we hate technology that will affect us negatively. and capitalism along with the industry of surveillance advertising has made sure that even digitalized observations will affect people negatively, even if some does not know or want to admit. it can be said generally like that, because the general consumer uses devices and services where they are not in control of the data their devices collect.
we don’t want to be recorded, and that’s the end of it.

besides, be sure to use your camera glasses! at home, between the 4 walls, when any other person in the room consented to being possibly recorded by it. yeah its a fun gadget, but what about not stretching further than your blanket reaches.

where do you see “x-ray vision” comments?

But, yeah, going into a restroom with them on

the restroom is no different from anywhere else. you must understand that people are not leaving their homes for the reason of being recorded by idiots and the makers of their accessories. you need to respect people universally, independently of the place, no moee or less in tge restroom then anywhere else.

or don’t be surprised if people beat you up.

you don’t have to boot into some special live OS to mount the hidden volume. It can be mounted just like a normal encrypted volume.

that’s like saying “password managers require a password so I don’t see the point”

to a war zone? such inspections are done not only in unlikely scenarious like when going to “a war zone”

If steam shuts down today, every game you bought is gone.

not actually true. few games have DRM, some of them can be broken, and all the rest uou can continue to play offline witg goldberg emu.

steam DRM is so rare that I can copy most of my games to a different computer, drop in the 1 or 2 files needed for goldberg emu, and the game runs offline. andin the games it’s present in, its weak. I don’t know if there are newer versions with significantly stronger protection, but my last experience was that an app stripped steam DRM for a game and after that goldberg worked as usual.

there are so many companies to be hated for a reason, they have their share of bad things but it’s so minuscule. It’s not the problem that people bring up those topics, but sometimes it feels people want to hang them while just accepting what the real big tech does.

yes that’s what I meant. what was your point?

mine is that despite claiming AI functionality is confined to a separate page, it is enabled by default on their main search site

oh they came back in February. they were inactive before that for a year, shortly after the republican drama
