Why not have US Federal Government enforce this instead? It's way more impactful for most HN users. Why wait for Brussels beaurocrats we all have this much and not have the most im…

This is such a bizarre take - a piece of media set in "New York" isn't "uninspired" because it uses NY as a backdrop. It's what it does with it. Same as a historical/fantasy game i…

It's practically always the game - Steam has offline mode which works fine.

They'll enjoy their time without you just fine.

This. I've spent a good chunk of my career on performance work and this idea that you can hotspot optimize stuff after the fact is utterly wrong and the reason why so much of your …

There's a surprising amount of games on my Deck that refuse to run without internet. It's not even marked anywhere which sucks because you find out when you have no connectivity.

Calling art design uninspired and plot that brings "nothing new" has to be the dumbest take about art I've seen in a while. I wonder if they actually played the game to write such …

This is a lower requirement than permanent residence in Switzerland for comparison.

People have been trying to defeat them for years how.

In most EU states you already need to provide ID to establish internet service, so what are you on about man?

Yes, that's what a TPM or smart card chip in your ID/Passport does. Prevents tampering even by the "user". I have advocated nothing of the sort you're accusing me of. Please leave …

> Why not tell us more about the requirements for hardware certification? Err, it's actually pretty simple: the token/certificate representing your ID (or credit card, or anything …

> Ah yes. They're totally going to trust my self-signed certificates. They're totally not going to restrict their trust set to the corporate owned and surveillance friendly Google …

Most countries allow tapping your ID card to a reader device as well.

You can of course create an independent attestation database at any time and mandate its use - verifying that the custom OS you use fits minimum security requirements for digital I…

Hardware attestation literally prevents that. That's why it's mandated.

Lower power CPUs are very powerful nowadays. Like the one in your phone - it sips power and can do what a full server could do a decade ago.

Did you think for a second that maybe other people work with other languages, domains, tools and work approaches than you? It's so bizarre that noone realizes that there's a bit of…

Yep, as a performance specialist I've had the same outcomes - it'll find "smoking guns" galore which will sound plausible and be completely wrong. But that's ok - I still get a lot…

Play Store absolutely is selling apps with 18+ restrictions, so most of your post is based on false premise.

Yes, checking the age of people when accessing and buying things (like alcohol at 21) is absolutely a Soviet Union invention. Modern democracies like USA would never check for age …

With your dictions, why the heck do you want the mob boss to be the cop deciding what you're allowed to do?

This is some awfully twisted logic to defend scammers and fraudsters. Your whole chain stops being relevant if you actually persecute criminals with the same gusto as Disney jackbo…

There's no such thing as an "unnecessary" review, especially from people that are familiar with topics in a given media. People are allowed to have opinions. Yes, you too.

This is the person who created one of the translations this movie is based on (arguably THE translation Nolan based it on), so they - literally as it goes - indeed have tried and d…
