Nintendo also was caught distributing their own games they obtained from ROM sites, as evidenced by the iNES rom header present in the files, despite it being 100% not part of the original data from the ROM chips.

a valid search warrant

Last time I saw a number thrown around it was only 2%. Only 2% of search warrant requests were denied. It's pretty well known that most judges just rubber stamp whatever for the police. The whole point of judicial review is to prevent this from happening.

no choice but to comply

You can't turn over what you don't have. Liberty got themselves into the business of keeping a database of master combinations. Imagine you, the customer, finding out today that these guys were holding these codes. Was there disclosure? How about the customers that were told "no" for help and were forced to hire a locksmith for lost combinations when the company could have coughed them up at any time for free?

what kind of dumbass opsec failure did the guy do that let the FBI know ahead of time what kind of safe he had?

It's called a sneak and peek. Feds break in to your house when no one's there and start documenting what they see. They can even trash the place and make it look like you were robbed if they have to, or just to take whatever. They need a "valid warrant" to do this but, heh, see the first point.

I like Catherine front-and-center on the top panel, because when they did the remake they straight up added a troon and then try to emotionally manipulate the player into picking it's route, passing up two legit hot girls (who are each crazy but we've all seen that chart.)

Kids are resourceful and can dedicate a lot of time to defying their parents if they want to.

That said:

even then they're going to see it at friends' houses because of lazy garbage parents of other kids.

Part of knowing who a kid's friends are is knowing who their friends parents are, and getting to know them, too. It's part of being in a community. I certainly got the "I don't want you hanging out with X" growing up, and I remember scoffing over it at the time (and doing what I can to circumvent it), but as I got older I only then was able to appreciate this and, looking back, yeah, X got me into a lot of evil stuff that started out as "only" schoolboy hijinks.

I identify as a 18th century pirate but even then I'm not wasting 100+ GB on this trash.

"Yeah, but, NEW GAME MUST BUY OR ELSE I'M LEFT OUT!!!"

I wish more gamers had spines.

I don't know if it was the first ever, but it was certainly an early example of trying to propagandize kids before they were sophisticated enough to understand, well, anything.

Any tips on finding mods that are "alternatively hosted" from Nexus? Skyrim, for example, has SKSE which a ton of other mods depend on. Not asking for rule 1 violations, just search query tips.

Ultimately the entire supply chain has to be mirrored outside the woke wall. Even using nexus or moddb lets them claim traffic and then use that traffic to market themselves to advertisers, even if you yourself can block ads.

I guess I respect it in the same way I respect someone selling drugs to people undergoing withdrawal.

It's unfortunate we live in a society where young men, so untrained and lacking in proper masculine role models, value her.

"Diversity" in modern parlance is not really diversity but coded language for "anti-white."

...if something get's broken or a road gets closed they'll take forever to do anything with it because it's the council

I have to wonder if it's because regular people use roads. ULEZ is there to enrich tyranny, so there will be a lot more motivation to fix it fast.

No conservative talks with that effeminate voice deliberately used to attract other gay males.

Only criminals use cash.

Only criminals hide their social media profiles.

Only criminals don't post their faces online.

Government is a small percentage of the population, so they recognize it takes the masses themselves to turn on independent thinkers.

Police are entirely unnecessary in a society of civilized people.

Then the government decided to throw open the doors to uncivilized people. Then the bleeding hearts decided to throw open the doors of insane asylums. Then hollywood decided to program people to believe lies about diversity.

Congrats, now we "need" police. Now that we have the "required" police, they're here to stamp their boots on civilized and uncivilized people both. The only modern change is that their masters have discouraged them from dealing with the uncivilized which was the whole point of their existence in the first place.

Color printers, yes. Still quite visible with a blacklight and a loupe. Black and white printers may have their own constellation embedded in the dithering but EFF is no longer a friend to computing freedom so they might just be keeping quiet about news on the subject in alliance with other leftist orgs.

I'm thinking of the sure-to-happen future where any file produced by your computer will be cryptographically signed with identification marks about the computer. Files lacking the signature will wind up being the odd ones out that won't load, or get flagged by applications that send files (or sites that host them).

It's the typical MO. Heinous crime of indefensible nature exploited to violate rights of everyone else.

Of course the government has to be able to scan all your files, because CP!

Of course the government can force you to break your encryption, because CP!

Eventually it'll be:

Of course the government has to force manufacturers to embed serial number watermarks in your content, because CP!

Of course the government has to install video cameras in your house, because CP!
