- Comment on AMD and Sony’s PS6 chipset aims to rethink the current graphics pipeline 2 weeks ago:
Fugaku is not a pc. Its a computer, but not a pc. Its a supercomputer :)
Its a slippery slope, yes, but its one that separates a personal computer from any other device that just happens to compute something.
I get the point though, what makes the arm ampere system a pc and the phone in your hand not? It both has a arm cpu :)
Same arguments count towards the playstation or other consoles - Comment on AMD and Sony’s PS6 chipset aims to rethink the current graphics pipeline 2 weeks ago:
Sure, but the wii’s coprocessor’s os was also unix/bsd based and that was nowhere near pc hardware. Actually, a few embedded devices (cheap routers, cheap toys,… ) use bsd (while they should run linux hehe) and are nowhere near pc architecture :p.
What makes a pc a pc is the actual hardware layout, hardware connections internally and how it boots. Im looking deep into ps4 and i can see why people call it a pc, but its a huge misnomer. If a ps4 is a pc, a raspberry pi( or any random sbc ) is also a pc because it has a usb or sata controller, cpu and pci bus while it has no pch/fch, no pc bios (which i can accept to not be relevant) or any of the pc hardware you cant think off ( spoiler, its a lot more ).
Hell, pc’s dont even have a southbridge anymore. We have the pch which is directly connected to the cpu over a bus that is nowhere near the old northbridge/southbridge design…
- Comment on AMD and Sony’s PS6 chipset aims to rethink the current graphics pipeline 2 weeks ago:
Youre thinking of bootrom. Embedded devices use bootroms because they dont need the flexability of a bios. It means that on power on, the cpu is powered on and its bootrom starts running code thats burned inside the cpu.
This is different from a bios, that is code separate from the cpu and tells the cpu what to execute and where in memory it is.
The os has nothing to do with bios too. Bios has to do with how the system powers up and starts the cpu, not the os and related stuff. - Comment on AMD and Sony’s PS6 chipset aims to rethink the current graphics pipeline 2 weeks ago:
Ps4 and ps5 are not pc architectures though. It has a x86/x64 cpu, yes, but that doesnt make it pc architecture. Afaik the ps4/5 does not have a bios, pch, ddr ram controller etc etc

A shit ton of those couldve been free updates lol - Comment on It's official: EA is going private. 4 weeks ago:
“Lost” They lost the fifa name, but fc is basically the same, and it still has all the players and club’s in it soooo… Its just a name change sadly

- Comment on Isn't Batman's questioning Superman because he is an unknown entity basically the same reason Lex Luthor has against Superman? 2 months ago:
The anti batman plan involves joker actually. His weakpoint is his parents and him being alone. The joker is, in batman’s eyes, the source of both. He says that to beat him you need to press the parents button, which makes him erratic and easy to predict hehe
- Comment on Isn't Batman's questioning Superman because he is an unknown entity basically the same reason Lex Luthor has against Superman? 2 months ago:
To drive this point home, batman has plans for everyone in the justice league; even himself. He made a recording and planted weapons and plans in remote locations that he describes in said recording.
He likes his coworkers, but understands everyone, even himself, can turn evil and need stopping. - Comment on Monster Hunter Wilds Endgame Expansion Moved Up as Game Suffers From 'Soft' Sales 2 months ago:

Thats bullshit. The switch 1 also had this functionality and nobody complained…

Those games had a publisher telling him no to features and needing to finish existing stuff and not have scope creep to begin with. I said unchained peter for a reason :p

Pretty sure its the unchained peter molyneux that was the birth and death of star citizen’s development :p

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’ 4 months 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 4 months 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 4 months ago:
Yes, because in french you need the special characters more often than numbers
- Comment on I've got something special for you 4 months 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
