The phone is only more secure than your server if you choose to setup your server so poorly. SELinux was introduced 25 years ago and is the mitigation here.

The size requirements of modern games have nothing to do with memory shortages and everything to do with abusing the fact that space was plentiful *TO OPTIMISE* gaming. For the most people few people give a shit if a game is 80GB or 120GB, but they give a lot of shits if the game is slower to load, if the game stutters while accessing assets (in both cases asset duplication can contribute to a larger size but also improved gaming performance), and people give a shit when their textures look like trash.

Not only that, you could do *MORE* back then. You could read data between tabs, leak memory from the rendering engine out to the browser itself, crash the entire browser, exploit one window from another. All those wonderful features you can't do anymore because those pesky programmers who simply hate optimisation decided to implement per tab process isolation, and tab isolated web assembly interpretation. I mean who even uses things like "security". How dare they break some of the functionality we all use - signed: malware writers.

Ironically for your rant, most of the "that unreal look" games actually have a surprisingly small disk and memory footprint compared to better looking games. Unreal is actually pretty damn frigging good at the thing you are complaining about.

So farm in a way that prices yourself out of what is currently an insanely cost conscious market? https://fortune.com/2025/05/07...

What other failing ideas do you have? I know, let's start a company dedicated to producing steam trains!

You seem not to understand the word AND. Windows 11 gives many users a reason not to upgrade their computers. AND many of them are gamers. AND components are expensive right now. Not once was the word “only” used as the reason.

And you're still wrong. Duties don't exist in any general case applying to everyone. Specific duties may be shoehorned into specific legal arguments that may apply to a specific example in one specific company. And you can identify if that company and example is you by comparing case law and seeing if you match all the same conditions of a 100+ page judgement against another company.

We're explicitly talking about a local run model, this is the one case where it isn't doing any spying, dumbarse

Except your beef is with the friend who keeps letting them in again. You can kick the friend out too. You choose not to.

But buddies is the wrong word. Buddies implies whole unique different products along side the browser. The AI model is a feature of the browser itself (check the Chrome beta, it's got a button and AI features built in).

An even more accurate analogy would be inviting a friend over, enjoying their company for years, and then at some point they develop a medical condition like Tourettes which you can't stand, but can't get rid of. You don't get to choose the features your friend includes, you can only choose whether to find a different friend.

Hahahaha speaking of rent free.

Global salt is still a risk since you only need to run through an entire database once, but the point is that with a global salt you still need to run the compute cycle once. THAT they can do in under a minute per password. Yes that is a different risk than doing it in under a minute for a large chunk of the database, but the reality is you shouldn't consider *your* account secure with a unique salt per account, because any attack that targets you will start with you - usernames are not typically protected.

The internet archive is a random access database system. It's not a backup, or a true "archive" in a vault somewhere. If tape is the answer then you have completely failed to understand the problem... or failed to understand tape.

And what's your decision? Have you decided your company is going back to typewriters? Your "AI companies" cover the entire industry. If your idea is an industry wide boycott you probably won't be making purchasing decisions for any company in the future.

Fine if you have old ones laying around. If you don't, unfortunately prices for spinning rust are skyrocketting too.

A WD 8TB Red Plus with 256MB cache was around 200-240EUR last year. Currently 408EUR

Wait it out by deleting their old porn.

Arbitrary code execution - a type of access that is ubiquitous in the bugs of countless programs (which is why we don't allow them to run with privileges in the first place)

If the distro is that good at timing why does it exist? Presumably the maintainer of the distro would use their time machine to get rich and be laying on an island somewhere given how the vulnerability was "disclosed" before the mainline kernel even had the patch in place.
