I enjoyed it for what it was and was sad to see almost everyone disliked it that talked about it.

Network Engineer > Network Architect > Network King

Legend says he can identify the usable IP range before witnessing the subnet mask.

I’m sure you can install an HP anywhere concentrator and remote into the machines from home, networking has solutions for things like this.

It finally hit the corner straight on.

I could see them being archival backups for TV broadcast, quite a few are still using tapes for long term archive.

Damn, if you’d actually watched the video you’d know he spends about 40 minutes covering the issues with crypto as it’s crucial to understanding NFTs.

Nice try, though.

A fraction of what it takes for thousands of machines to perform rework of the same problem.

This isn’t the good argument you think it is.

Oh damn wikipedia, that’s never been edited by someone with an agenda before. Go look up the dictionary/CompTIA definition of a rootkit, not what some FOSS bro edited the wiki page to be.

Unfortunately you can’t get through to these people. They refuse to accept that rootkit as a security concept isn’t just an admin level process that can be hijacked, but a specifically malicious bundle of programs that embeds itself in your firmware and runs in secret.

The anticheat isn’t running secretly, as the game informs you of its use and requirement. It also doesn’t access your MoBo firmware or UEFI, merely the kernel of the OS.

No one with even the bare minimum Sec+ cert would call it a rootkit, and only those with no actual knowledge take that claim seriously.

Nothing is stopping anyone from making something predatory from some angle at some time. You’re just slippery sloping this.

They had some weird moments where Tina reverted back to a flanderized version of herself depicted from the POV of someone who doesn’t understand nuance in character, then she was just the typical pissed off modern Hollywood teen archetype.

Claptrap should just be the BL2 VA if possible, no need to keep casting screen actors in VA roles.

For some reason FOSS bros don’t have any issues with capitalism or security when it comes to Steam, they think Gaben shits gold or something idk. It’s weird. Steam is virtually a monopoly and has had security vulnerabilities in the past but they just plug their ears and ignore it.

Yeah, it’s definitely getting difficult to identify the difference in PvE and PvP from a security and financial standpoint in the modern live service landscape. Games that don’t include direct competition still have aspects of them which can be messed up by other people with cheats.

A somewhat similar concept is how easy it is to stop at the space anomaly in NMS and get handed a stack of Starship AI valves that will immediately skip you past early-mid game progression in a lot of gameplay loops. It has nothing to do with paid currency which is why they don’t stop it but the idea is similar I guess.

Insert meme of guy sweating over two buttons here

Setting aside that there really shouldn’t even be an anticheat in a PvE game (unless progression allows you to unlock items that are real world currency based on which I could see why they’d want to stop people from accessing it without one of their two methods) the concept of a rootkit doesn’t equal “software with admin privileges.”

A rootkit is a package of different (specifically malicious) programs that are designed to hide themselves from your system.

Is the anticheat designed to be invisible when installed or running? No. Is it designed to specifically be malicious? No. Therefore it’s not a rootkit.

There’s a difference between software designed for malicious purposes and software that has the ability to be hijacked for a malicious purpose. These two aren’t the same and everyone with even a smidgeon of actual IT security knowledge would acknowledge that at the bare minimum which no one in this thread seems to have done yet.

This isn’t just semantics, rootkits are defined by their purpose not their permissions. Bunch of script kiddies in this website pretending their ability to install Arch makes them professional Comp Sci degree holders.

Reminds me of Darkest of Days.

System Shock 2 for old school, Prey (2017) for a more recent one.

Yeah it’s difficult to tell if it’s just the shit they’re eating or the specific chemicals inside it.

I bet they regret blowing their load on Cortana already with their useless Windows 10 feature.

Now their actual AI isn’t named after the AI from the videogame they specifically used for brand recognition. What a fuck up.

Copilot is an official Microsoft offering like Outlook or PowerBI, of course they’d rather you use a product officially sanctioned by the company you already pay to handle your productivity software.
