This is adorable and wonderful. I love this so much for you. Thanks for sharing!
I'd like to point out that the title is conflating two very different acts of "piracy". What I think of as "the little guy" piracy is content "theft", whereby they acquire some content they didn't pay for to enjoy. What "the big guy" piracy looks like is licensing theft, whereby they take something "freely available on the internet" and use it to make their own product which directly affects the creator.
The world in which I watch some P&R or play some Warhammer for free in my little cave looks identical to the world in which I didn't do that. The world in which I read all the Warhammer lore and make a game and sell it using the same setting and characters without talking to GW directly devalues their IP and the world looks different (this is effectively what AI does as it can be made to reproduce a lot of the training data).
I'd love to live in a world without DRM and "always online" and purchased**TM (arbitrarily revocable) games, and convenient and affordable ways to access media so piracy isn't necessary and the degree to which it would still happen would be so minor we wouldn't even need laws for it. I support the kind of piracy that rallies against that shit, I do not support arbitrary license theft.
Also modular power supplies while we're at it thanks. 20 years and the cables still can't be reused/you have to remanage the whole damn case when doing a swap
Oh ez, that's only 17 orders of magnitude!
If we managed an optimistic pace of doubling every year that'd only take.... 40 years. The last few survivors on desert world can ask it if it was worth it
Hey come on now that's not fair, at least the games are way more expensive and you have a fraction of the selection to choose from
"Physical access to the hard disk at a later date" sounds like the threat model they have in mind is someone forgetting to drill a hole through the drives after decom, in which case I'd guess they're asking for fde that gets unlocked at spin up/keys stored in ram?
If I were you I'd go back to the stakeholder and make them clarify that part of the requirement/what they expect it to accomplish with it and what level of inconvenience they're willing to accept.
Neat! I will be giving that a go! Having to relearn cad after switching to linux really slowed the use of my 3d printer :(
Should be thinking fuck yes it's about time, shark me up baybeeee
This is the most confusing headline lmao

Why does this poster give me such strong 4chan vibes. It reads like such a meme
I have the og NFS MW running via bottles. It wouldn't install via isos so I installed it on a spare windows machine from isos and copied the folder over. Took a little fiddling to get the bottles profile into the right state but it is possible :)
Can we please just start charging these bioterrorists with manslaughter
