- Comment on Nintendo Is Already Punishing Switch 2 Users Over Piracy ‘Suspicions’ 2 days ago:
What is defined as copy here? Cartridge data (game data, not firmware etc) is encrypted and can only be accessed by a protocol that is like spi, but is proprietary, by a specific chip running nintendo code. Or is a copy a full backup of everything on the chip?
Is the copy a raw copy? Has the data been modified/decrypted/or any algorithm processed it?
These things define wether a copy falls under this or not. Check what the fineprint or laws defines what ’ a copy’ is exactly in this case.
If it doesnt, what i mentioned are important to see if what yoy said apply here or not.Like @DarkMetatron@feddit.org said, its only legal if nothing is done with the data. Any decryption using a nintendo key is infact, illegal, and falls under piracy.
This is why dolphin was removed from steam, because they do exactly that. Decrypt the data to use it.
If the process of dumping does any encryption or decryption, you also get in trouble in what they said.
These are the laws, and the lawyer you asked this too must not have been specialised in ip law, copyright and games, or doesnt know the technical details to decide on this.
- Comment on Nintendo Is Already Punishing Switch 2 Users Over Piracy ‘Suspicions’ 3 days ago:
Even if that isnt legal (it is), but it will be circumvention of encryption at worst and recreation of protected algorithms, code and keys in a non-nintendo product at best ( and thats before talking about game cartridge content ).
Last i checked that is still illegal hehe - Comment on I've got something special for you 2 weeks ago:
Oh im not saying its perfect or any good, just saying what the logic was :p
I personally use both azerty and qwerty lol
- Comment on I've got something special for you 2 weeks ago:
Yes, because in french you need the special characters more often than numbers
- Comment on I've got something special for you 2 weeks ago:
Im not french and we still use this piece of shit. Thanks belgium.
Also, us/international qwerty isnt that great either imo. Uk qwerty is better

- Comment on Xbox 360/PS3/(to a lesser extent) Wii owners represent 3 weeks ago:
I know what i did to the ps3, and i know what needs to be done. I barely use the ps3 so its fine for my case. The real fix can also be to redo the ihs so the solder doesnt crack or get damaged again because of heat. Also, ps3 also got a lot easier to debug with syscon, which was also only (relatively) recently descovered. Sure made debugging the ps3 easier haha. Ive left the connection available on my ps3 for future usage hehe
- Comment on Xbox 360/PS3/(to a lesser extent) Wii owners represent 3 weeks ago:
Ye no, ive have a ps3 that ylod which i reflowed back to life. After it was working again i started digging and the temps the core was reporting wasnt even close to the ihs that i measured with thermal couple. Also the thermal paste is on top of the ihs, not under it and it wasnt soldered in place. Early ps3’s did cook themselves. Less than 360 by a long shot, but they still did!
Also, side note, its funny how some 360’s rrod was not due to the heat issue but can also be caused by power supply failure or the plug being faulty. Thats how i got and fixed my 360 🤣 - Comment on Xbox 360/PS3/(to a lesser extent) Wii owners represent 3 weeks ago:
Ok so, let me set this all straight.
The wii had nothing to do with the gpu but with the die of the gpu that nintendo had designed and kept secret.
Inside the gpu die is both the gpu (hollywood) but also an arm core called starlet. It runs the security software and thats where (rarely but happened) things went wrong, as it was always running code, even in standby. This had nothing to do with ati.And the ps3 was not what you said. The ps3’s problem was that the ihs wasnt making a good enough contact to the core so the heat of the cpu didnt transfer well into the cooler. You can fix this, but is very tricky and is easy to permanently damage the ps3 in doing so ( you have to cut the silicon under the ihs without touching the die or the pcb, remove the silicon and do reattach it with less glue ). This could be contributed to the manufacturer i suppose

So its called rider and is made by jetbrains :p Its cross platform, does ui’s better than vscode, handles starting web, razor and .net projects out of the box. Has plugins too! :p
No, the only thing imo visual studio has over vscode ( and i use both in my life ) is that visual studio deals with .net projects waaaay better than vscode. Asp api, blazor, wpf, maui, … These are all project types vscode needs some kind of manual config for. Let alone that vscode doesnt do ui previews out of the box while visual studio can.
Visual studio also has a way better intellisense than vscode.With all of that said, vscode is my go to for general web (js, php,html,…) And c/c++ projects

Then the “windows app” can do nothing? If they dont have rdp support, and remote desktop uses rdp, then it cant do anything??
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
You realise visual studio has more features in professional worlds besides the old winforms formbuilder… Right?
Let alone blazor runs better in visual studio than vscode… - Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
Did microsoft make a new protocol that isnt rdp? Or did they switch to a new one?
I use rdp a lot to remote into work so if that changes, i need to know 😅 - Comment on I like Angelo, Palmer, Sandro, and Rico 4 weeks ago:
Game. Unreal 1 was an actual game and was before they sold the unreal engine. Where do you think the unreal comes from in unreal engine??

No, gta. Unreal is a dead game franchise

And youre missing the point again. We dont live in a shitty world, you live in a shitty country. What i said is indeed what it should be and what it is actually like here and in the surrounding countries hehe

No, this is on you guys for not having laws or unions. If a company pulls this shit off here they get to may multiple months of paychecks in damages because they had signed the contract. And even still they cant just lay somebody off like that.
Welcome to modern society :')

- Comment on Quantum mechanics might have the solution to joystick drift 2 months ago:
Im not saying i disagree, im saying its more complex than “just a few cents”.
- Comment on Quantum mechanics might have the solution to joystick drift 2 months ago:
Its not that i disagree with you, they should have used them and its pretty bad ( though a lot can be fixed with some good old wd40 for electronics lol)
However, its not a few cents more. Its way way more. A regular stick is around 1.84 - 2.73 euro a piece depending on how many you order from official components store. A hal sensor stick is often 2-4 euro.
Lets say 150mil switches are sold, each having 2 sticks. 150,000,000 * 0.40 = 60mil difference in cost for the company, at least, for using different sticks. And thats just sticks that come with the console, not separately sold controllers or pro controllers.
Manufacturing cost is very different than just ‘its a few cents more’.

Is this from beta or benchmark tool? Big difference. I have framegen off because eeuw and play on 1080p

Wdym runs like shit. Been playing all day just fine…
… And on linux too…
- Comment on Does Monster Hunter Wilds still look and feel like dog water? 3 months ago:
Beta wasnt optimised at all and frame gen was broken in them which was funny. Full game is better optimised but still has some hickups. Id suggest to run the benchmark, which is free and is a lot more updated than the betas ( and runs better )
