I guess there’s a market for truck-sized soapbox cars.

Had me excited there for the first half, ngl…

Convenience and security.

Authenticator apps are still vulnerable to phishing, passkeys are not.

Were it so easy…

Isn’t this illegal?

Can’t find any reference to anyone dying or getting injured, but in terms of pad damage it definitely takes the cake.

The first Starship may have put a hole in the pad, but the N1 obliterated it.

Fully reusable super-heavy rockets with multiple full stage combustion engines running on Methane have been done before? You mind sharing sources because I can’t find any.

Closest thing I can think of is the Soviet N1 rocket (about 2/3 the thrust of Starship) which the Soviets really struggled with and ended up abandoning, and it wasn’t even close to being reusable.

Mullvad is by far the best for privacy since you can literally pay with cash and all your account is is a number. No email, no phone number (unless you pay with Swish), nothing at all identifiable except your IP.

The pricing is honest and very consumer friendly, although being more expensive than average. There is no subscription, just monthly cost with no special discounts to get you to buy it “cheaper”.

And they got raided by police and provided them with everything they had: Literally nothing.

My personal favorite is the one that defaults to “off”, but when you go to the detailed page it puts “legitimate interest” on every single goddamn option with no “disallow all” option.

Here you go

Banned open source software because of security concerns. For password management they require LastPass or that we write them down in a book that we keep on ourselves at all times. Worth noting that this policy change was a few months ago. After the giant breach.

And for extra absurdity: MFA via SMS only.

I wish I was making this up.

Hold on, what? I thought Nikola ended after their giant fraud?

Most of it is perfectly reasonable.

• IP: Simplest identifier for smurf accounts, also very ineffective since you can just reset router. But public info anyway.

• Game identifier: Obviously

• Hardware dev info: More effective identifier for smurf accounts and more effective form of banning (and decent way to check if you’re in a VM, depending how hardened it is)

• OS info: Different OS’s require different functions

• Game and system files: Don’t agree with this one unless you’re incredibly deep into e-sports (professional). For casuals, checking game files: Fine. Checking system files: Fuck off.

• Running processes: Checking for running non-hidden cheats

• File names: Not quite sure what they mean here

The text at the bottom also states that it only collects this if it detects potential for cheats, which obviously is going to include false positives, but it isn’t constantly mining the data like other ACs.

BattlEye isn’t the greatest AC so should be fine anyway.

All hail GrapheneOS

Or, knowing Spotify, they will just do it anyway and just quietly increase their cut.

Bigger audience sure, but I’d imagine there’s a fee for the translation as well, or some other catch.

Spotify

Pay fairly

Sure buddy

But just a little bit ;)
