The switch was never actually good, it was just the first actual handheld after the PSP. From a technical perspective it was at best mediocre. Although the reintroduction of the handheld after it basically failed with the PSP (wich was great for its tech level but still not good enough) was well done, the actual performance of the product was not good. The stick drift was just the cherry on top.
The name the website is giving them is weird, it's officially the "Regulatory Authority for Audiovisual and Digital Communication", their mission is the same (fighting piracy) so it doesn't really matter but it's still weird to call them by one of their tasks.
All of their tasks together would be: "department of censorship" so even more DDOS reason. Fuck em.
Anyway this is an interesting study because of the data, but the reading is obviously biased, they imply that the use of VPNs and what they call "alternative DNS" (yeah guess what, if my ISP blocks websites I'm still going to access them) is suspicious, they do mention security/privacy as one of the usages (it's the two main motivations for the majority of users in their results).
I mean the obvious reason for this is framing they hate people circumventing their censorship. And changing the DNS doesn't even require a vpn lol...
Something interesting : NordVPN is the most used by the panel, I think it's reasonable to explain it by the heavy marketing NordVPN did on french youtube (almost every big youtuber had an ad segment with them), but their results say otherwise, 35% of the panel says it's based on recommendations from closed ones.
Nord heavily advertised all over Europe, this has two reasons firstly, they suck and make too much money, probably selling your data and being a security risk in general and Secondly because they are likely paid by these censorship departments to be exactly that, its a honeypot.
Proton all the way.
I don't know why some in the panel of 3000 people would self report as pirating, it sounds dumb to admit to an infraction to the law.
Depends, if its anonymous I'd do that as well, because i would love to rub it in their faces, even if not anonymous I'd probably do it cause they can't prove it.
Also most cracks are from South America nowadays. Russians did many as well, but the crackers aren't likely to be affiliated to the government and dont fund a war.
Tbh Linux is kinda enough. Difference between a computer and a human is that you can limit what goes in. Also most viruses are for windows, the equivalent would be covid only working on Asian people that ate the bat or had sex with the people that did.
Lot of stuff, but you can mostly avoid it when you are aware of it. You cant look into everything but you don't need to buy stuff you know is likely infested with winnie-pooh.exe it's the quantity that makes the poison deadly, limit the amount of China intake to live a happy and sustainable life.
Tailor's Dummy (a good one, from a wood core, with working joint and covered in a thick fabric with stuffing and fingers) with the soul of a Mage that is locked into it, it can't speak but he has a companion (wich is essentialy a ignis fatuus) that can communicate telepathically with him and translate to the party.
Caracter abilities:
Soak in water -> fire resistance but you get slower and heavier
Resistance to medium fall damage due to thick stuffing and being sturdy.
Blunt attacks do half the damage (same as fall damaged)
No need for sleep or food
Could be used as torch when soaked in lamp oli (please just ignite a finger and only in extreme need of light without other sources)
Disadvantages:
Without water relatively flammable
Stab and slash attacks do high damage because they rip apart the cloth and may hit the core
Cannot sleep or eat (or consume alcohol)
Attention:
The wooden core has a magic carving, it can withstand some damage and slowly grows back over time but is still the weak point as, when a certain level of destruction is reached, the soul will just turn into a mana explosion
The outer stuffing and Fabric can be repaired pretty easily with just some medium levels of Sewing (Caracter can do that itself but needs time and some places are only reachable by party members, for example the back)
Caracter is depressed because he wants alcohol and can't drink any
The translator is a little bitch and mocks party members from time to time blaming the puppet for such actions
(Caracter could technically do a suicide bombing but thats a bad idea)
Caracter has "extra pockets" that allow him to store items and get one random item a day "Where did that came from" -Translator after seeing the puppet pull out a new puppet as decoy
Microfilm Is basically the only method that will work until the end of this planet when stored properly. Governments usually store important data on microfilm in deep bunkers.
Btw, a HDD technically can last forever as the stuff is physically written into the plate. The problem is accessing the data.
Magnetic tape drives are also a idea, they are slow and all but basically indestructible, same goes for the reader. You "just" need to make shure you have a adapter XD
And no, CDs are not the longest lasting. If you want to store shound forever, vinyls are your friend.
Digital storage is hard to preserve, make stuff physical if you want to have ot in many years.
No. Its just a problem in the production process, when done wrong it can be a problem for the environment. But besides that, no, you can even eat from it.
It tells that you have no fucking clue. The magnetic writing is physical. And i have drives older than you that still work fine. A HDD disk lasts technically forever when keep inside its Faraday cage (outside the magnetic storms from the sun could damage it), the problem is the part that needs electricity to keep stuff stored, wich is the most important part when you want to access the data, as it contains the information about where what is stored, without that you would read a shit load of 0 an 1 but without actual meaning (its technically possible to compose Coherent data but its in short basically gambling with disadvantage)
Did you read? The data corruption comes from the controller dieing, wich is exactly what i said. This isn't the disk itself, its about the (basically) SSD that stores the data about what is where on the disks and the firmware necessary to access it.
I talked specifically about the disks itself, not the HDD in general, the HDD contains a SSD wich needs power to stay alive.
My point was that the plates themselves will keep the data forever unless they are exposed to strong magnetic interferences (earths own magic field isn't really a problem as its pretty stable, it's mostly bringing other magnets close or having them exposed in a solar storm wich would cause actual damage to the plate)
Are you insane? A Faraday cage protects against magnetic fields and other interferences, thats why they exists, the earths magnetic field is no problem btw, its actually protecting our shit because ot keeps most of the magnetic Solarstroms away from our electronics.
It was also just a fun fact type of info, as its impractical, the data may be there but access will be lost in the near future, that was what i said as well. I suggest microfilm or vinyl. Nobody is going to take care of the stuff after you die anyway.
(btw you could pay say AWS to keep your archive forever, as long as Amazon exists it will be ported and always accessible, paying after your death would be a problem however...)
Yes, the controller dies slowly but the HDD disk itself remains unchanged. The corruption comes from the dieing controller wich is because the controller dieing means the plate looses the information about where what is located on the disks.
