Of course companies wanted people to share the free demo versions but some full games did have annoying protection schemes in the '80s. Obfuscated data and purposely “bad” sectors on floppy; cardboard decoder wheels; asking for word #x from line #y of page #z of the game’s manual, or, similarly, a page of codes printed in black ink on dark maroon paper to prevent photocopying… leading to folks distributing cracked versions and the cracking tools themselves!
To be fair, it was a pretty ridiculous time. Computer club meetings just turned into floppy-copy-fests.
I got to meet Legaia’s creator Hidenori Shibao. He also created Lennus (“Paladin’s Quest” that I enjoyed on SNES in my youth) and its sequel.
The company that made my TV is engaged in copyright infringement, you say? Transmitting copyrighted images over the Internet for profit?
Huh.
Phones’ modems have their own firmware that gets flashed by the cell provider, so I think spies would target that.
It’s lemmy.ml that censors it. I see it just fine here.

I played this on a Visual Commuter (with no LCD?). Amber monitor with nice long phosphor persistence. My grandmother loved to point out the typos… “You are in a Cooridor.”
Typo in headline.
Tim Sweeney traveled to Saudi Arabia with Donald Trump’s entourage this past week.
You don’t even need root. Developer options -> USB debugging, then run Universal Android Debloater on your PC.
One of these? Stay away from Chinese aluminum, and real estate in Russia and UAE, I guess.

It’s seemingly a valid interpretation of “You won’t have to vote anymore!”
Look into OpenWRT, FreshTomato, etc. Depends on your model of router (advanced: build your own!) It accomplishes the same thing as a PiHole.
Use DNS-based blocking. I put Tomato firmware on my router and block for all devices on my network. Rethink can selfhost DNS on Android too.
I hear this as often as I hear “jalapeno” (missing the eñe) 😑
Do you even poop-lift, bro?
This image classification, which does not currently apply to videos, works on-device and is powered by Android System SafetyCore, which “doesn’t send identifiable data or any of the classified content or results to Google servers.”
It’s opt-in for adults but automatically activated for children’s devices.
So it’s creating and adding new data that didn’t exist in the original image, presumably using “AI” since it requires a server-side update.
Phonetically, 'za should be short for lasagne, and 'sa for pizza… or people can just say the damn words.
Whatever, I guess. Peeps gon’ slang slang, for real, for real. 🤦♂️
