Where do y'all recommend looking to find no-disc game patches in general?

Mostly asking because I’ve never used these before due to never needing to. That, and I have a few old disc based PC games that I’d love to be able to straight up boot without the game disc. These are games I could just pirate, but I figure I already own them in disc, so I’d rather see if there are any reputable places...

ipha ,

You’ve just dredged up a core memory! I can’t believe they’re still around and I haven’t used a CD drive in so long that I’ve forgotten that no-CD patches were a thing.

So your 8KB of data will last forever, but what about the firmware required to access it running on flash?

Everyone loves ultra-violence, right?

It’s like a fancy list.

I get this sometimes. Kinda weird, but ultimately not a huge deal.

“Are you watching? Good.”

This is the way.

Are you sure you’re making them correctly? Do you include the grub or are you trying to make some weird vegetarian version?

ipha ,

“snitches get to glue their own wounds shut and hope it doesn’t get infected” just doesn’t have the same ring to it.

Unity bans VLC from Unity Store. (mfkl.github.io)

Everyone can agree on VLC being the best video player, right? Game developers can agree on it too, since it is a great utility for playing multimedia in games, and/or have a video player included. However, disaster struck; Unity has now banned VLC from the Unity Store, seemingly due to it being under the LGPL license which is a...

The “legal grey area” is about codec patents and dvd playback.

Is anyone here using their hardware TPM chips for credentials?

I’m curious about the possible uses of the hardware Trusted Protection Module for automatic login or transfer encryption. I’m not really looking to solve anything or pry. I’m just curious about the use cases as I’m exploring network attached storage and to a lesser extent self hosting. I see a lot of places where public...

ipha ,

What if the chip dies? How am I gonna be able to get my stuff?

You can have backup keys, but if you don’t have that then your data is gone.

I don’t fully understand how it works, but where is the encryption saved? On the chip itself or somewhere else?

Encryption key is stored in the TPM chip.

No, this works completely different. The iMessage protocol has been reverse engineered so there are no 3rd party servers and the app communicates directly with apple.

Too optimistic to be real.

ipha ,

Ugggh, I thought I was done hearing about Shit Pie.

I used a kindle keyboard for a long time and I think the new front lit ones are a big improvement, especially in low light (I use a kindle oasis.) I can’t speak for sync improvements though since I keep it completely offline and transfer everything though calibre.

ipha ,

Oi, fuck you and the horse you rode in on.

Where did the abbreviation "w/" for "with" come from?

Hi, English isn’t my mother tongue so I was asking myself that question since I first encounted a w/… Back then I was like: “What tf does ‘w slash’ stand for?” And when I found out I was like “How, why, and is it any intuitive?” But I never dared to ask that until now

ipha ,

Wait. That is why it’s called i18n!? Never knew that.

No, but you can send one through the email service and it will be automatically converted.

    I do have experience with gas, induction, and traditional electric and can say with confidence that cooking on traditional electric sucks ass. Induction is good though and I’d say it’s on par with gas if you have the right pans.

    And windows doesn’t support virtio video, use qxl.

    California bill to have human drivers ride in autonomous trucks is vetoed by governor (apnews.com)

    SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California Gov. Gavin Newsom has vetoed a bill to require human drivers on board self-driving trucks, a measure that union leaders and truck drivers said would save hundreds of thousands of jobs in the state.

    ipha ,

    And the human driver would certainly be used as a scape goat should anything bad happen.

    Remember when NFTs sold for millions of dollars? 95% of the digital collectibles are now probably worthless. (markets.businessinsider.com)

    Remember when NFTs sold for millions of dollars? 95% of the digital collectibles are now probably worthless.::NFTs had a huge bull run two years ago, with billions of dollars per month in trading volume, but now most have crashed to zero, a study found.

    It was just another form of money laundering though ‘art’.

    Chaotic good here. They have different DPI too so you’re never quite sure where your mouse is going to end up.

    ipha ,

    I have a good 27" as my main, but I don’t have space for a 2nd 27" to either side – best I can fit is a 24". So I guess I’m chaotic good by (forced) choice.

    Big desks mean I can’t put my speakers in good locations.

    In powershell, kinda – but it’s unpleasant. Everything is an object which you pipe between commands, but it’s not a text stream so the receiving end has to explicitly understand what it’s receiving.

    ipha ,

    Personally? I hate it.

    Anytime I have to deal with it I usually just write a bash script that writes a horrific unrolled powershell script rather than dealing with ps data structures.

    How many ingredients does it take to call it a salad?

    My significant other ate cucumbers and onion with some ranch. I called it a cucumber onion salad. She says there aren’t enough ingredients to call it a salad, because “it takes multiple ingredients”. I pointed out she had three and asked what the minimum is. She refuses to answer so I ask Lemmy.

    ipha ,

    Lettuce alone is sufficient, but not necessary. As soon as you omit lettuce it takes multiple ingredients.

    “hello world” as a service?

    Oh wow that looks awful.

    Better than counting curly braces.

    The the car I drive for work has a volume knob and I hate it with a passion.

    The Deliverator’s car has enough potential energy packed into its batteries to fire a pound of bacon into the Asteroid Belt. Unlike a bimbo box or a Burb beater, the Deliverator’s car unloads that power through gaping, gleaming, polished sphincters. When the Deliverator puts the hammer down, shit happens. You want to talk contact patches? Your car’s tires have tiny contact patches, talk to the asphalt in four places the size of your tongue. The Deliverator’s car has big sticky tires with contact patches the size of a fat lady’s thighs. The Deliverator is in touch with the road, starts like a bad day, stops on a peseta.

    It’s a ublock/easylist issue. It seems to be blanket blocking xhr requests to certain TLDs including .website

    Add this to your filters as a workaround for now (replace lemm.ee with your instance)
