Actually, I'm totally wrong ⁻ it was Tomba 1! I had Interactive CD Sampler Disc Volume 7.

I have yet to play either, but as a kid, I had a PSX demo disc that included Tomba 2. I remember wanting the full version so bad!

Edit: the demo I had was for Tomba 1.

The other day I was thinking there should be a fork of dotnet. The two things that it would do differently would be telemetry being totally removed, and an alternative to nuget.org with the requirement that packages be published with free software licenses. Setting such a thing up could be insurance in case they pull anything in the future, too.

Yep, that's still true. However, you can install ABadAvatar onto a USB stick which will run the exploit automatically upon startup. It usually takes about a minute for the exploit to successfully start and occasionally crashes (only happened to me once).

I actually only tested XBLA games, so yeah!

Well, it's over 20 years old now, so probably. It's also really easy to softmod recently. Last year I got one for $25 at a thrift shop and modded it, so it's also a great time to get one.

So far, I only played Banjo Kazooie and Banjo Tooie on it though, and messed around a bit with the first release of Minecraft Xbox 360 Edition.

+1 for both. IMO, it's easier to sell your friends on Signal than Matrix. Edit: In the US. I've just read that Matrix is more popular in Germany.

I thought that this was known. My understanding is that Bitlocker is fairly secure as long as you never link your key to your account. I don't think it has been independently reviewed, though, and of course I've heard of theoretical TPM attacks and attacks if the machine is on or recently powered off. Of course, the best course of action for a secure laptop is probably Linux + fully encrypted LUKS, yadda yadda.

From 2021-2024, I worked for a company where this crap mattered. I'm so glad I quit. Now I work for a small company with 3 other engineers.

“I feel like the voters voted for it, and we should honor that,” Councilwoman Debra Stark said. “But my biggest fear is the Legislature.”

What the hell? We voted for it. How is that not the final say?

Oh man. 13 years between the games vs. 21 years now.

As someone whose favorite game as a kid was Kirby's Adventure, yes, Kirby is supposed to be accessible to young children. 100% completion can be a bit hard. I remember Sakurai saying that he tuned Kirby to be the easiest to control in Smash games because kids like to play him. As an adult, they're relaxing to play. They're not all easy though – Canvas Curse might not be retro, but I think it's hard!
