I completely blame ChromeOS.

Even on AD snafu’d windows, the first thing we all did was figure out how to bypass any block and do what we wanted to.

Kids are growing up not knowing there are things you can do aside from accessing the internet and loading crappy webpages.

I forgot already but doesn’t he work for MSFT now?

I swear the moment he got a new job is when he came out with run0

Have you tried sfc /scannow ?

I’m still waiting for them to use the F-35 against an actual competent adversary with an actual airforce, but I think the only possibility would be China.

Maybe Pakistan if India buys the F-35, but even they know its a Lockheed money scam.

I’m using Rocknix on an android handheld and it feels so powerful to be running 6.18 mainline kernel with all the modern features I want despite having to build stuff from source since the package manager only has a small list of stuff mostly meant for networking (Entware).

Even though its in beta for my device (AYn Thor), it works so well after only 4 months of development that I’m genuinely reaching the point of perma install and removing the stock Android install from the device.

I would pay cold hard cash for an OEM to do the same with PostmarketOS. Throw in proper open source kernel modules and use Steam’s upcoming waydroid fork for Android compatibility, and then throw that sucker in the market and watch Google try to litigate it out of existence.

AI isn’t going to dissappear just like crypto, but god damn does this bubble need to implode.

Hardware market is so screwed that not even the ripoff listings on Ali express can keep up.

PAF looking at the Rafales in the background:

The last time this was posted, it was PugJesus, and he barely agreed to my live example of Imran Khan.

And as a Pakistani, go fuck yourself. My democratically elected leader is in a jail going blind because American imperialism is universal amongst both parties, and Biden signed off on his removal without a second thought.

Even more insult to injury, Imran Khan won his election against a corrupt, voter fraud heavy, and FPTP system as a 3rd party that upset the duopoly after 70+ years.

Twice. Second time while he was in jail.

So now all that manure you people scream about RCV for 3rd parties in the US is laid barren as propaganda from the DNC & RNC to convince you never to vote independent or 3rd party.

Despite the fact the DNC was caught rigging their own primaries to ensure Bernie, a populist independent, would never win.

Twice.

Edit: Remove that Pakistani flag out of this shit excuse for a shill meme

No that’s was the second lawsuit, Sony v Bleem!, which was a different emulator.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bleem!

Yes it is

Ah that might have been it then. As others pointed out, they never had the keys in the emulator itself.

Dunno if Yuzu provided the game itself, or tools to extract the game successfully, but the main argument from Nintendo was still copy protection bypassing, which is illegal.

Actually now that I think about it, I’m pretty sure they also nuked the Switch dumping tools from GitHub long before they killed Yuzu for the same reason. All it did was extract the firmware and console keys, but it was enough to force the tools to be rehosted.

The emulator didn’t, but I think they had one somewhere in their git history or website.

I forgot now, but I vaguely remember Nintendo pointing out a specific key that was found under the parent company’s assets.

Could be wrong though, maybe they really did just get screwed over

Hey at least it wasn’t nuclear winter ash

Emulation doesn’t just apply to games. The entire legality is based off of the fact that reverse engineering is also legal, which is how companies can replicate ideas or concepts from competitor products, or how 3rd party vendors make products compatible with other platforms.

It would be stupid to have to wait for a patent to expire before you can utilize the concept in your own product. Patent cockfighting would be a completly new level of hell, and no one would get anywhere.

Imagine having to wait 10 years before you can use 3rd party controllers for your switch because Nintendo uses a proprietary bluetooth driver. 3rd party Wiimotes wouldn’t even exist.

The only ethical conundrum is the aide in piracy, but we’ve already seen how little that has to do with emulation due to homebrew and flashcarts.

If anything, Nintendo has a higher moral ground on ROM libraries which they can argue aides in piracy due to “bypassing” copyright protection.

Nintendo succeeded in killing Yuzu because they had decryption keys which Nintendo could argue is breaking their copy protection, which is why they settled for 2.4 million dollars in sales damages because they knew they wouldn’t be able to win in court.

All of these forks have since removed the key and require the user to supply it (legally from your own console).

So in theory they should be protected under US law since emulation and reverse engineering is completely legal.

However

Nintendo also has infinite money to throw at the problem, and FOSS devs are usually not willing to deal with insane amount of personal liability because of a hobby, which is how they killed Ryujinx.

So you better hold onto your guts if you plan to fight Nintendo.

Or move to i2p so they can’t disable you lol.
