It looks like each game cartridge has an unique serial number. Nintendo could easily blacklist everything that touched a specific serial, because they can see from the telemetry something like 500 consoles ran the same cartridge in a day, immediately raising red flags
Considering the non-security of the Wii u (“ah, you say you have a ticket for a game? Sure, feel free to download from the servers, I trust you, don’t need to verify that”), I’d assume that until a serial isn’t blacklisted, the console would automatically download updates as if it was original
Seems like multiple games are swapped by removing the cartridge and reinserting it, would swap to the next title. So, 3-4 titles max or it will be annoying
The staff commented “we can only know if it works when the movie starts”, and this sentence is let me thinking “expensive royalties would be automatically paid every single time the play button is pressed”
i think instead the opposite. The backend is the real interesting part, and the only way that we can be sure that “they cannot read the emails” (they arrive in clear, saved with reversible encryption and they have a key for it - if you use their services to commit crimes they will collaborate with the law enforcement agencies like everyone else)
imap/smtp can be toggled with a warning, if that’s really their concern. As of now i have the feeling that’s instead blocked to keep users inside (no IMAP = no easy migration to somewhere else) or to limit usage (no SMTP = no sending mass email)
it’s already hard to fit a small car to park in the city, i don’t understand how people can even think to buy a car that’s longer than 4 meters. Roads and houses were built during the baby boom when cars weren’t used by everyone, so for example in my area there are 0.8 car parks per family.
Then i see my cousin, living alone, single, no family buying a huge 5,5 meters SUV “because in the next three years i plan to move, bigger space is useful”. Could rent a van for 100 euro a day instead of spending 10k euro extra for a monster…
i started with the mail basic (10 euro yearly for 10gb) but then because i switched from “secondary email that forwards to gmail” to “primary email that imports from gmail”, i had to move to the more expensive plan
Most “VPN” browser extensions (if not all of them) aren’t actually doing a VPN connection but just change the proxy setting in the browser. This is because as a browser extension they wouldn’t have enough permissions/power to establish a real VPN connection.
So if you want to use a browser extension you have to run a proxy server, or as other said, just use cloudflared as running a proxy server attracts bots from all over the world
No, peertube is a YouTube alternative. Videos must be manually uploaded over a server which is them federated to other servers. Like Reddit vs Lemmy or Xitter vs mastodon
How much do you print to reset that counter so often?
That counter usually is after the average life of a printer
Resetting the waste tank counter without actually replacing the sponges means a disaster is coming. On my Epson ecotank 2650 the waste ink spilled all over the table even before hitting the counter, resetting it multiple times is insane.
And replacing the tank is something that requires at least 4 hours because of the 1000 hidden screws and the puzzle-like construction
And good luck finding the right sponge
If you print that often you should sell it on eBay and buy another one with an user replaceable waste tank like the Epson workforce series or the ecotank 7700
Alternatively, when my ecotank 2650 spilled the waste ink on the table, the official support charged me 30 euro to open the printer and replace the waste pad, which if you think about it’s not too much expensive as it requires a whole day of disassembling for an inexperienced user, plus $10 on shady sites for the secret disassemble manual and another $10 for the reset key
