After Hogwarts Legacy on disc didn't contain the damn game was when I finally got around to hacking my PS4 Pro:

https://battlepenguin.com/gami...

My PS5 has been disconnected from the Internet for over a year but it still has firmware 10.40. The only hack is using a Lua exploit and the only physical disc that can do it was a Limited Run Star Wars game that now goes for over $400 on eBay. The digital version could do it too, but Sony, not only patched the exploit, but changed the store so that all new games purchased have a 30 day expiration window so they can force patch updates.

That's right. When you purchase a digital game on PS5, if you get disconnected from the Internet for a month, the game stops working. Not sure if you can just turn back the system clock either.

Fuck Sony and piracy is now 100% fully justified.

Every state has gas companies. That's not the point. It's not anywhere near as common in Florida as it is in the North East corridor. In Chicago, nearly every apartment has gas stoves and even gas dryers.

You're right. This is about creating new "carbon markets" and pumping money into such frauds. It doesn't stop pollution and is all based around the religion of global warming.

It's intentional. I think this was all a show and, to some extent, a psychological operation.

I think this was all for show for both Anthropic and the government. It pushes the "scary A.I." narrative, and gives Antrhopic the excuse it needs to require your government ID. I wrote about this before:

It's important to read the actual decision to understand the arguments instead of just shrieking for your political sports team.

It has long been established that federal courts may not issue “advisory opinions” that do not bear on the rights of the litigants before them. Lewis v. Continental Bank Corp., 494 U. S. 472, 477 (1990). At the appellate stage, this prin ciple means that courts should resolve only those questions on which a favorable ruling would provide a litigant redress from the judgment below. See Food Marketing Institute v. Argus Leader Media, 588 U. S. 427, 432–433 (2019). The question on which the Court granted certiorari in this case cannot satisfy this requirement under any colorable view of the law. The Court should therefore decline to answer it. Okello Chatrie’s ongoing stake in this case stems from his conviction for robbing a bank and brandishing a firearm. On appeal, Chatrie challenged those convictions on only one ground. He argued that the District Court erred in denying his motion to suppress the fruits of the geofence procedure Cite as: 609 U. S. ____ (2026) ALITO, J., dissenting

3 that led to his identification as the bank robber.1 So, unless he can show that this evidence should be suppressed, he cannot obtain any relief. And his chances of making the showing needed to justify suppression are virtually zero. The police obtained information about Chatrie’s location at the time of the robbery pursuant to a warrant issued by a neutral magistrate. And when evidence is obtained under such a warrant, a defendant seeking suppression must overcome the good-faith exception to the exclusionary rule. United States v. Leon, 468 U. S. 897, 923 (1984). A majority of the Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, sitting en banc, held that Chatrie could not do so. 136 F. 4th 100, 101 (2025) (Diaz, C. J., concurring); id., at 114 (Niemeyer, J., concurring); id., at 115 (King, J., concurring); id., at 115, n. 1 (Winn, J., concurring in judgment); id., at 142 (Hey tens, J., concurring). That holding suffices to affirm the District Court’s admission of the geofence evidence and thus independently supports the Fourth Circuit’s judg ment. Accordingly, any review by this Court should concern an issue that could at least plausibly disturb that good-faith holding. Cf. Stewart v. IHT Ins. Agcy. Group, LLC, 990 F. 3d 455, 457 (CA6 2021).

On this score, today’s decision fails. The majority does not dispute the Fourth Circuit’s good-faith analysis, and nothing in its opinion casts a shred of doubt on that holding. See ante, at 10, n. 4. To overcome the good-faith exception, Chatrie would need to show that either (1) the affidavit sup porting the geofence warrant was knowingly or recklessly

4 CHATRIE v. UNITED STATES ALITO, J., dissenting false, (2) the magistrate rubber-stamped the warrant appli cation, (3) the affidavit was “‘bare bones,’” or (4) the war rant application was so facially deficient that no reasonable officer would rely on it. Leon, 468 U. S., at 923, and n. 24. Yet nothing in the majority opinion touches on any of these matters. Thus, nothing in today’s decision bears on the Fourth Circuit’s good-faith holding. And because that hold ing independently supports the judgment below, the Court’s opinion is advisory.2 This outcome was guaranteed as soon as this Court granted certiorari. ...

This case doesn't meaningfully change anything about the defendants situation. It will get sent back to the lower courts, but there is still quite a ways to go to get any of the other evidence thrown out as fruit from the poisoned tree.

You people should really read the decision.s

Confluence use to be really awesome back around 2012. It's sad how far both have fallen. Atlasian murders everything it touches.

It's a wiki. It's an ultra shitty clone of Confluence. We used it at my last company and it sucked ass. Some people use it for general note taking.

It hasn't really popped yet. It's hitting some corrections, but the pop would be 30% losses. When it does, the world economy will collapse .. and there better not be any fucking bailouts this time! All the big tech companies can rot! People who know how to code with their brains should be the ones in high demands.

The US desperately does need more nuclear power plants. Browns Ferry finally got all three of their reactors online after one was down for decades. But I hate it's because of this data center bullshit. At least that will mean we'll have more, cheaper, cleaner power after the AI bust. These data centers need to stop. They're destroying all the small communities filled with people who intentionally wanted to get away from industrial and city bullshit.

Sadly I'm sure the same massive building campaigns will happen with reactors. This will also suck for rural people who don't want these reactors in their community. I guess the saving grace is that nuclear sites don't have the massive noise pollution that data centers do.

Honestly there is so much room around Comanche Nuclear (it has a massive man made reservoir instead of using river water) they could easily expand it to 4 or 6 units without much issue.

Exactly, Wikipedia is nothing but a political propaganda tool today. I covered this about four years ago:

ad hominem. You literally can't attack the argument and your argument is so poor to being with, that you attack the person rather than the argument.

It's okay. I'm sorry you're retarded. I really am.

Nightmare Eclipse showed us Bitlocker is a joke. It's not remotely real encryption and easily breakable .. on Win11/2025 server, NOT Win 10. This wasn't an exploit. It was a backdoor. Meanwhile Veracrypt needed a public backlash to get their dev signing keys reinstated so people could get their updated kernel drivers on Windows (and remember, TrueCrypt its predecessor mysteriously disappeared in 2012 with the former author telling people to use BitLocker instead!)

Now we have this. The answer should be obvious: there is a concerted effort to remove all real encryption, security and privacy from our software. This isn't incompetency mistaken for malice. This has to be intentional.

There is so much wrong with what you said it's hard to fathom.

> Your problem starts here. Right to privacy is a human right

Show me where in the American constitution where you have a right to privacy? The 4th amendment is against unreasonable search and seizure. It's a hard steep climb from that to privacy as a right. Now that Planned Parenthood v Cassey and Row v Wade have been repealed, it's even a harder sell.

> you cannot lose a human right

Who gives you rights? This entire concept of "human rights" is very recent. The earliest beginnings may have been the Magna Carta in the 1200s, but the entirety of Roman, Sumerian, Arcadian and other civilizations knew no such concept. Roman Citizens had certain legal standings in societies, and that citizenship could be earned, but it's a far cry to say they had a concept of "rights," in the way we've had for only the past few centuries. You can absolutely 100% lose a "human right" anytime you travel outside an area subject to the jurisdiction of a nation you hold allegiance to which has given you those rights.

Rights are bestowed by the State, often fought for by citizens, and are only enforced by collective belief. Is the Freedom of Speech a human right? Because it literally exists no where outside America. Europeans can go to prison for questioning verboten parts of history. British people can go to prison for teaching their dog to raise a paw in a German salute for a comedy bit. New Zealand has a national censor who decides when news content is illegal for people to possess. Only Japan gets even remotely close.

> regardless of what you do. It can be temporarily restricted if another thing has priority, but it cannot be removed

Distinction without a difference. You have no rights in prison. There are two legal forms of slavery in America: The military and prison ... both are voluntary when you really think about it. Your rights are totally removed. You don't get all of them back in most states. Gun ownership and voting are often restricted. Now I think that's wrong and those rights should be restored, but what you may wish for isn't realize. Sex offender lists are another one.

> Hence people like you are into violating human rights and as soon as that starts to be a general sentiment, a state/group/organization is on a very dark path. Yes, you may be able to get some statistic to look better this way. But you have lost something far more valuable.

What strawman directed bullshit. You drew all that out from my limited statement, making deep connections with my philosophy on rights, with made up arguments I never even tried to make? Going back to the original statement, do you not think we should allow these groups to pool together prisoner information using search technology to try to at least get some of them out that can turn around an contribute to society? I don't even know what argument you're making.
