I love looking at the stuff people have posted after trying to claim not being far-right; christoban's recent posts

Left wing fascism exists. Even if you try to redefine it away.

OP said fascism, not dictatorship. The left really hates to admit one entire form of fascism exists, but they're both equally bad. In fact, the leftist version is alive and well and thriving in the west. In fact, it controls practically everything.

OK you can say ridiculous stuff all you want, secular expansion doesn't become religious just because the people are mostly one religion.
And the Crusades were not how Christianity expanded, it was an attempt to RE-take the holy lands. This is what I referred to in my OP. All major religions expanded largely via military expansion, but none so entirely and early on as Islam.

Yeah, Islam was born in and expanded more through military expansion than any other major religion, and boy does that continue to show. Everywhere Islam exists, violence is normal and hatred is taught.

Comment Exclusive Game Shenanigans? (Score 1) 103

This lawsuit directly calls out Google’s “Project Hug” where they paid for exclusive games for Android. With Microsoft already in the crosshairs for trying to get exclusives after buying Activision and Sony being THE console with non-first-party exclusives I can’t see how this won’t affect consoles.

Comment Re:Is the Apple AppStore next? (Score 1) 103

The AppStore’s for PlayStation, Nintendo, and Xbox are FAR more restrictive. This jury trial verdict in California likely won’t do much to all the lawsuits people have been filing against Apple. Since this lawsuit is directly about being allowed to sell video games and how Google was paying for exclusive games(“Google Project Hug”) this IS fodder for new lawsuits against consoles.

The legal "poisonous tree" is about evidence obtained through illegal conduct on the part of an government official is inadmissible.

e.g. if police break down your door without a warrant and discover your illegal cock-fighting-rink that discovery can't be used in court; but if a criminal breaks into your house and discovers your cock-fighting-rink the burglar's testimony is admissible in court.

Checkm8 is a USB-based bootrom exploit for very old devices; it is definitely not a "security issues like this".

Checkm8(released in 2019) allows you to exploit iPhone 7's security(released in 2016) and basically get anything off the phone if you have physical access to the phone. Checkm8 is partly applicable to iPhone8-X, but you can't bypass the Secure-Enclave, so without the passcode/fingerprint and physical access you can't do anything.

Wait... your example "malware" exploits the victim with "an abusive download of data that is not related to the application purpose"...

And security issues like this have been found with iPhones before, except Apple literally couldnt fix the holes

Comment Re:Watch Apple shares plunge (Score 1) 67

You expect Chinese citizens to stop buying high-end smartphones?

In the real world Huawei effectively doesn’t exist in the smartphone business and chip foundries in China are rapidly losing market share. The Mate 60 didn’t have a launch event for a reason.

That Huawei can produce some parts for a design that is 2 years out of date is more a cautionary tale, not a battle cry.
