PS2 released in 2000. By 2002, Dreamcast already went under and Xbox and GameCube were about to release.

520 ,

Ahh sorry I'm thinking of EU launch dates

520 ,

Or using the old hardware like the PlayStation 3 BC for instance, they literally had the PS2 hardware in the PS3 to handle BC.

And the PS2 likewise literally had PS1 hardware to handle BC.

520 ,

There are PS2 that had this function removed?

520 ,

Even the Switch is pretty standard phone hardware

520 ,

Keep it on non-dangerous topics and I'm with ya lol

520 ,

To the country that elected Trump he actually might be.

520 ,

Oh yeah, forgot about that...

520 ,

Uh, they DO still make dumb phones. And people still buy them.

520 ,

Yep. They even made a new 3310.

I need to wake up early (lemmy.world)

All the vibrating alarm clocks I could find do not sync with your phone, and have to be set manually. I thought about getting an Arduino, but then I will have to build the whole thing by myself. The only logical conclusion I could come up with is to get a programable vibrator. But most of them are either very expensive of look...

520 ,

You can get alarms that you place under the mattress and they shake the entire bed

520 ,

She's the kind of person to kill two people in a car accident and then do a runner

520 ,

I know right?! I thought it would be a favourite!

520 ,

It is literally either follow this law or cease operations here. Both would end in the song being blocked anyway.

Mind you, I wish we were that level of strict when it came to our data privacy laws.

and the government would have to explain precisely why they decided to ban all Google services over a song about freedom.

They wouldn't explain shit. This is an authoritarian government we're talking about; they have near total control of what information gets to their populace.

More likely they'd just accuse Google of supporting terrorism, and make a show of raiding their offices and jailing their local executives.

I don’t think the people in charge would last long if that happened, considering how integral Google’s services are to many people’s lives.

This is China we're talking about. Chinese equivalents to nearly every big tech service are more than present and accounted for, even often preferred by the local populace. Hong Kong is a little different, but the CCP still exerts near total control there.

520 ,

Eh, replace death with life-without-parole imprisonment and I'm onboard.

If you think about it, LWP is a far worse fate.

520 ,

Isn't that just execution by another name?

520 ,

Because by law in certain countries, homosexuality is persona non grata, and a filter needs to be there to legally operate in such countries.

520 ,

I dunno, why don't you ask, eg: Russia?

520 , (edited )

Out of the loop. What's a 304?

My mind is going towards HTML status codes.

520 , (edited )

Lol nope! Republic of Ireland has been a heavily-Catholic country since its inception. It's lightened in recent years and some surprises do slip through but that ain't one of them.

520 ,

Yep! Can you tell I fuck around on computers way too much?

520 ,

Voe are not allowed in Gerudo Town!

520 , (edited )

They're also the one straight up using the term, which is why I asked in the first place (that being I had no clue what it meant)

520 ,

Because Catholicism.

Catholics believe that any sexual activity that doesn't have a chance of making a baby is sinful. Gays obviously can't make babies as a normal part of their love making, so that's where the whole 'being gay is sinful' bit comes from

520 ,

The usual tell is when you need to have a cat in the morning just to function.

520 ,

Yeah but they're called talent for a reason. The senior talent are generally better than the juniors at what they do.

520 ,

Until they make the wrong call and it bites them on the ass.

520 ,

This company wasn't exactly targeted. It could have happened to literally anyone.

She was accused of faking an incriminating video of teenage cheerleaders. She was arrested, outcast and condemned. The problem? Nothing was fake after all (www.theguardian.com)

Madi Hime is taking a deep drag on a blue vape in the video, her eyes shut, her face flushed with pleasure. The 16-year-old exhales with her head thrown back, collapsing into laughter that causes smoke to billow out of her mouth. The clip is grainy and shaky – as if shot in low light by someone who had zoomed in on Madi’s...

520 ,

Some PDs do have their own digital forensics units. It isn't a task handed to patrolmen

520 ,

They aren't given to patrolmen. They have dedicated and specially trained units. Otherwise the evidence can be nullified.

Source: have worked in digital forensics.

520 ,

On-scene stuff is a bit different. You're not doing the actual analytics on scene if you can help it, you're obtaining the evidence. Of course that still needs specialist training, you can't simply copy and paste shit, but it's very different to what goes on in the forensic lab.

520 ,

Indeed. I'd say the on-site guys really need training. Beyond working directly on the master image and writing to it or reporting false findings, there isn't as much that can be irrevocably fucked up in the analytics room.

Acquisition is a whole different story. One seemingly small fuck up and the evidence is toast.

520 ,

They believe Tories don't go far enough.

520 ,

That's satire, right? Cuba is a completely different country

520 ,

It should be, but you know Poe's law. People blame POTUS for ridiculous stuff.

520 ,

Because tourists can end up inadvertently majorly fucking over locals in a huuuge way. Barcelona is a good example of what happens when tourism is left unimpeded.

520 ,

True but this is also a tiny ass town. Many of the negative effects of tourism are felt much more strongly in smaller communities.

520 ,

Standard Ubuntu should have you covered.

One word of warning though, don't be too egregious with the parental controls. If your kids are motivated enough, they will find a way around it.

Education really is your best weapon here. Tell them about the dangers of the modern web and computing.

520 ,

I learned to program when I was 10 on a Commodore 64. And we would wear an onion on our belt which was the style at the time… Sorry, where was I?

Totally get that, but we live in a much more dangerous and predatory computer landscape these days. It would be foolish not to take some precautions.

520 ,

Yep! Such container breakouts exist even today in Citrix !

Shit like this was what got me into cybersecurity

520 ,

Is this for a family PC?

520 ,

Woodworking and rock climbing scratch the problem solving itch in different ways, on top of the creative (in woodworking) and physical exercise (rock climbing) itches common in most people.

520 ,

It can be. Depending on the circumstances in life you are in, credit may be the only way you're able to pay for food.

520 ,

Correct. But it's either this or literally starve. That's why you've got people here saying it isn't really a choice.

520 ,

Because that's an opinion question. Very different to 'what is inflation?'

520 ,

It's been in the cooking pot for a while. It just took a while to come to fruition

520 , (edited )

The problem is the cat's out of the bag.

Open source image generators already exist and have been widely disseminated worldwide.

So all you'd end up doing is putting up a roadblock for legitimate uses. Anybody using it to cause harm will not be seriously impeded. They can just pick up the software from a Russian/Chinese/EU host or less official distribution methods.

It would be as effective as the US trying to outlaw the exporting of strong encryption standards in the 90s. That is to say, completely ineffective and actually harmful. Enemies of the US were still using strong encryption anyway.
