No DRM technology can ever work properly because the logic behind allowing “secured” and “controlled” access to a person who owns the hardware, software is the least secure situation you could ever have. The only fool proof DRM solution to ever exist is to literally run most of the game online like an MMO which means…

Not so many publishers view any form of piracy very dimly even if you bought the game most games are “licensed” in that you sign away a number of rights. Even if a game is bought the license is almost certainly violated by cracking it. DRM solutions like Denuvo are also intended to try and put some technical force…

I wouldn’t believe Denuvo’s press statements given they call their tech not a DRM solution when it most certainly is DRM. They literally said they don’t comment on specific customer deals so the following statement is meaningless as the specific customer (all of them) could have asked for refunds and it is an…

Technically speaking it is copying not stealing and technically speaking an ad-blocker is worse than software piracy because you cost the site ad-revenue but also load their servers costing them actual money to serve you ad-free content.

I buy games and then use cracked versions some mods require it especially when they are deep modifications of game code. Obviously developers/publishers frown upon disabling their bloat ware DRM solutions but I bought the game and I can do what I want with it in a single player offline situation as it effects no one…

This is a false statement good games sell regardless of piracy. Almost all pirates don’t convert to customers even if they can’t pirate a game because they want the game for free or next to nothing which full retail is gulfs away from. Witcher 3 is the best example of a DRM-free game that is an obvious commercial…

It is a false statement if you want a game for free the conversion rate to full price retail is going to be tiny. And if you consider some pirates have disposable money the conversion rate would be zero.

It is variable its success rate because it requires careful integration on the game developer’s part. Put the DRM in the wrong part of the core game loop and you get bugs and lag, put it outside the game loop and it gets bypassed in a day. Put it in just the right place with a relatively bug free game and you would…

If they were smart they would treat the subfloor with Fipronil foam around the edges where humans can’t go normally. (Label appropriate application) This would kill of termites for at least 2-3 years possibly kill off an entire house area worth of them if it is a high termite traffic area (the termites spread the…

Even concrete houses can have termite problems they find their way into any paper/cardboard/wood (cellulose containing substance).

I had ant/termite problems and I just did a DIY application of Fipronil/Imidacloprid/Gentrol(IGR)

You can legally refuse that form of payment and I doubt he would get very far trying to reason it was a reasonable form of payment. While not illegal it is also not illegal to refuse payment for certain denominations of currency (many machines refuse certain coins and/or can’t even accept bills).

They should really just remove the 12V lead acid battery and have a 48V lithium battery and just have a DC-DC buck converter power any legacy 12V loads. In networking 48V is also a very common voltage for PoE and its a very happy medium of not too dangerous but keeping conductor sizes way down.

Check your leads if you have a current measuring multimeter carefully every time you use it.

You really shouldn’t do that for too long though as it is dead shorting the battery and while it won’t break the meter it is killing the battery.

Cheap meters are fine if you work with low voltage stuff having a couple is also good so you can cross check when one fails.

They could easily release free DLC to load the audio to the expansion memory SDXC supports upto 2TB cards (doesn’t exist yet).

Technically its fine my phone doesn’t even last 4-6 hours with heavy use and I’m betting almost everyone has a battery bank if they want to play long continuous games away from the wall. The saving grace is that it uses a USB Type-C standard connector which means extending battery life and charging it like any other…

The first amendment doesn’t apply to consumer’s complaining or demanding a company to do something. I’ll post the comic for you and explain how horribly wrong you are.

Individual customers of Nintendo are not government and the rights the government protects only applies to the government. A consumer is free to demand anything they feel like telling Nintendo and its upto Nintendo if they feel like listening and inversely it is upto the consumer if they are willing to buy.
