This study has nothing to do with that. It only surveyed mobile gaming.

I prefer a really well told story over a pick your own adventure. Character flaws, growth, emotional connections and situational realities are all able to be masterfully written when in control. But if you can't write well, just make an interesting playground and leave it up to the player and blame them for a boring game. :)

First party sites are how my credit card gets leaked every single time. The incompetence is thorough at every level.

My personal trick is even in my own country to get new travel credit cards regularly. The first one I got was scammed on my first booking. I alerted the hotel and they said it couldn't possibly be them. They're the only company that ever got those details it can only be them.

I'm not an expert, but it sounds like if you finish a session of valorant, the anti cheat never unloads and continues to monitor memory and files.

Easy Anticheat though, according so some sources, only runs during game play.

Riots Anticheat has a bad history though. But both essentially are black boxes that send details both hash and samples back to their owners for them to approve what's on it computer. Opened a medical record? It's probably been hashed and sent back.

Opened your employers accounting files when working from home? details you probably sent riot a copy.

Both can be updated. There's no guarantees that riot won't do something nasty against a portion of high value targets. They know you from your payment details. They can identify, update the module and get anything they like, they have root.

Anticheat has a history of being a tool for hackers. https://www.vice.com/en/article/hackers-are-using-anti-cheat-in-genshin-impact-to-ransom-victims/

There's no upside for the user. Mostly because they don't work anyway.

Just compile your kernel with the anti cheat flags and telemetry enabled from source.

Stretched limousines exist by this very method. I'm Australian but the concept wasn't started here. https://www.belle.net.au/building-a-stretch-limousine/

Edit:

We do know of limousines that have been shipped back to the USA for failing to meet Australian standards.

I'd say it's easier in many American states.

Oh you think you exist somehow outside the simulation and are not just a construct of it. The Truman of the show.

Perfect

What a great post. I haven't used pcsx2 since I wrote a yakuza guide probably decades ago. But that post was great to read.

I feel like you understand the text book but didn't know the application.

I've worked with Windows environments from 2003 until still today migrating to azure. The biggest skills gap with technicians and engineers administrating Windows is actually networking. This single point connects every single service server and user and yet dns, dhcp, routing and it's protocols, link layer technologies like vlans interface configurations aggregation and more is so poorly understood that engineers and technicians often significantly mistake problems. Almost all issues happen around network layers 2-4 or layer 8 (the end user).

It doesn't need to be first but no matter what os or component, networking is core and the single biggest return on investment for systems admin types.

Sure other basic skills are required but just being able to test TCP by telnet or understand each hop, and is the server listening? What process ID is listening? Did someone configure rdp off 3389 and that's why it doesn't work? Was the host file edited and that's why it's resolving some old ip for this hostname? Why is it going out the wan interface of the router when it should be going over an ipsec tunnel?

All this and more has nothing to do with Windows, and yet, anything that isn't just user training or show and tell about how to do something, there's a good chance it requires you to follow the networking layers to make sure behaviour is expected.

If dns resolved then it's not blocked. You need to look at your network.

Bypass dns connect to the ip and port. What happens?
