Route all traffic through PhonyVPN.exe and then find the outgoing packets going to the verification server and return to the program a valid check no matter what input goes in it comes out valid and blocks the outgoing packets but instead replies in such a matter that all checks succeed no matter what.
Mcclutheon VS F.E.C and Citizens united vs F.E.C were Judicial coups that chnaged our form of government from republic to plutocracy. This means the Republican appointees to the high court have literally commited high treason by ruling as they did in those cases.
Legalizing limitless spending was Treason against the republic.
God no. No more javascript apps. For fuck sake. Rust or bust. I don't care. Dead serious I have no gratitude whatsoever for Discord being able to run on Linux, I'd earnestly rather it not than it be written in Electron and with any javascript framework at all. It not being released for linux at all is so superior to it being brought over with Javascript and Electron that the latter can't hold a candle to the flame of the former.
Look I'm a wheel of time nerd too so I know exactly what you're talking about but your run of the mill person isn't going to know especially since the Amazon version of it got cancelled the idea that understanding will ever be mainstreamed is- yeah not likely.
I'm still left wondering why Assholes I grew up with 30 years ago thought I should dress and pick my clothing based on what was most pleasing to them. Like what gave them that sense of entitlement to me? Imagine you're probably going through the same here like Newsflash assholes I don't live my life to please you.
Foremost, Kamala was a shitty Candidate not even loved by the Democratic base, I speak as a member of that base, This idea that you can have a Progressive prosecutor was a bit of a Joke, to us she was a cop, and we don't really like cops. Not literally, but she swam in the same circles as the Police if you get me, She sees herself as on the same side as them and did when she was in office, Part of why I fit in with the crowd here at Techdirt, I don't like cops, and I don't hang out in their circles.
Anyways, needed to get that out of the way because of the above commentary, not yours. As to yours, If Republicans ever wanted something I too wanted, I'm more than happy to work with them where we agree on things, I've been known to cross party lines in various rebellions like the Green Tea movement which was a non partisan rebellion that coopted large portions of the Tea party to fight for Clean energy, forming a Green tea coalition with Progressives from the other side of the aisle.
I'm not so Partisan I refuse to work with them on the few areas of Agreement, and I'm more than happy to give Credit where it's due when they do something I want or approve of.
Like Hated bush but at least he liked to read.
"We don’t care what happens, as long as our guy won” I care even if mine loses.
"That is not going to change until enough of them get “bit” and decide for themselves that party is not the end all to be all. "
I'm a registered Democrat but Independent in spirit, I don't always go along with them
It's unfortunate that the GOP Rarely offers anything I'm looking for. its enough that when it's possible to cross party lines, I remember it well enough to even identify the movement from 2016 because it simply doesn't happen often and that's not because I'm so partisan, I just RARELY agree with what they're doing.
The difference to me is the Democrats will sometimes do things I disapprove of, the Republicans will Constantly be doing things I disapprove of.
Vote them all out, and then keep voting the out for the next 50 years and shut the GOP out of power forever. even if the Democrats fuck up, they will never do half as much damage as the republicans, so the way to fix it if a Democrat slips is to primary them, NEVER Is it to replace them with a Republican. EVER.
Even if Nintendo, could force the console to download a bricking update, presuming so, dns sinkholes would prevent that, but, ultimately, if Nintendo does this by injecting packets to induce the switch to do so, or simply toggles a switch remotely that requires injecting packets rather than simply closing an nintendo account and making it impossible to use it for things like multiplay, which not all of us really care about, depends on your taste in games, and while I have been known to enjoy a good MMORPG here and there my preference is very strongly for turn based Roleplaying games, a niche I don't really play outside of at all, including Action RPGS which are the current trend, I don't care for them. I find it really odd how people think turn based never presents a challenge, the truth about turn based is if you go in blind, it can eventually turn brutal towards the upper echeleons, including random encounters, believe me. I lived through it, I played Dragon warrior (quest now) in the 90s so I remmeber only too well the brutality of 3 and 4 on the N.E.S and believe me the remake does NOT capture the challenge since you have additional powers that make it a lot easier on the remake. the one problem with turn based, is that there's often a Strategy, and once you crack it, the first time, It really rather lacks replay value at least for the battles since you already have figured it out, but, games like Octopath Traveller especially the 3rd and 4th chapter bosses reminded me that Turn based can be absolutely brutal. Some of us just like our challenges different, but if you get my point anyway I'm not so afraid of having my switch account disabled.
So my thing about Packet injecting though, is that, Packets can also be captured, and reverse engineered. And let's say, Nintendo is sending packets to switches that force it to download a Bricking update. This is, astonishingly incompetent, as, A malicious bad actor could always use something like Wireshark or something, simpler really as Packet sniffers are a Bring your own packet sniffer kind of situation, you could even build one of your own so you'd really, deeply understand how it displayed the data.
in either event, these packets could be captured, even if it is a signal to trigger a download from a remote server to brick people's systems.
and once, those Packets are captured, there's effectively nothing stopping a malicious bad actor from writing a Python script on the command line that simply Takes the Input of IP address and Remote Port number, as two arguments, and once pointed at an Innocent persons Switch, All things lined up it would be possible, assuming a Firewall doesn't get in the way or such, to Brick someone's system, simply because they said something mean to you or, beat you in a game out of resentment. All of this assumes of course they haven't thought of that, and only take the input from Accepted IP addreses that are whitelisted in, but this would obviously weaken Nintendo's hands as one could simply create an access control set of rules in ones Firewall and reject all Packets from that IP Address, and this IP adress would eventually be discovered, and public information, because, Putting a Switch 2 in everyone's home is analogous to putting the Bank vault in the Robbers house, in total privacy, eventually he's going to find a way to break into the safe, and , Millions of people are going to have them, and a good portion of them are going to probe, and test, and tear at the system until we find it.
and also edit your Firefall rules to block all incoming Traffic from Nintendo and force incoming packets to null route Thus rendering communication in either Direction impossible.
You're consistent in having exactly the most deserving people to criticize. The political leanings of this particular publication are ones I have a strong tendency to agree with. Relentlessly critical of the police, politicians etc. Keep on speaking power and holding truth to account, you're a voice of reason in a time in which the press has often been pacified into stenography by the fear of losing access to the politicians they cover.
I hate it, I live in a somewhat competitive marketplace for internet service and those who know no better will switch to 5G service for home internet over cable which is fiber all the way to the CMT and then copper for the last mile. But 5G can only hypothetically beat DOCSIS speeds. In reality, only in the most ideal (which are still exceptionally rare) circumstances will 5G get anywhere even close to its hypothetical maximum speeds. And even then only when there isn't a lot of demand on the network.
they've crushed so many fan products just for infringing on their IP. they're so litigious. It's awful. You're right, a new norm here would be wonderful. There's a reason I've long felt the best tech coverage was coming from you guys. despite the fit I threw over Baldoni you've been my Favorite tech publication going all the way back to the stuff you did showing how Patents were keeping my microwave from being awesome.
I know what was said about me. Hey! at least if online harassment is my complaint I'm in great company!
but I must remmeber that my suffering Need not be unique or special to be valid lest I commit the fallacy of relative privation. oh I absolutely am. The only psychosis AKA deusion at play here is they idea that I'm not. Someone online talked shit about me, ergo Online harassment ergo I've been made a victim of online harassment for doing literally nothing that warranted it or wrong.
Easy. Circumvent the packets going out to the verification server.
Route all traffic through PhonyVPN.exe and then find the outgoing packets going to the verification server and return to the program a valid check no matter what input goes in it comes out valid and blocks the outgoing packets but instead replies in such a matter that all checks succeed no matter what.
limitless spending on elections.
it's not a republic which is a nation of laws when the rich can buy elections and with it the laws they want.
As far as I'm concerned we've already lost the republic.
Mcclutheon VS F.E.C and Citizens united vs F.E.C were Judicial coups that chnaged our form of government from republic to plutocracy. This means the Republican appointees to the high court have literally commited high treason by ruling as they did in those cases. Legalizing limitless spending was Treason against the republic.
Oh and for the record if you banned generative AI
I'd break the law and keep using it anyway.
I'm totally on the Internet Archive's side.
I don't know what's wrong with your comments section honestly. For the record, Best Tech news site of them all.
Presently I'm contacting my Oregon represenatives letting them know California did an awesome
and we should borrow it. and that if the ISPS are big mad about it California must be doing something right.
I will vote for any poliitican of any party that makes it a crime to write code in javascript
God no. No more javascript apps. For fuck sake. Rust or bust. I don't care. Dead serious I have no gratitude whatsoever for Discord being able to run on Linux, I'd earnestly rather it not than it be written in Electron and with any javascript framework at all. It not being released for linux at all is so superior to it being brought over with Javascript and Electron that the latter can't hold a candle to the flame of the former.
Forced to mind their own business
now that's an idea I can get on board with.
balefire?
Look I'm a wheel of time nerd too so I know exactly what you're talking about but your run of the mill person isn't going to know especially since the Amazon version of it got cancelled the idea that understanding will ever be mainstreamed is- yeah not likely.
the sense of entitlement has really chased me my entire life so I get it
I'm still left wondering why Assholes I grew up with 30 years ago thought I should dress and pick my clothing based on what was most pleasing to them. Like what gave them that sense of entitlement to me? Imagine you're probably going through the same here like Newsflash assholes I don't live my life to please you.
MMM. Victory.
::Laughs in I'm a well connected pirate anyways:: Good thing I won't be paying that.

Vote them all out.

I had a really alarming thought when I read this that wasn't included in the content
Even if Nintendo, could force the console to download a bricking update, presuming so, dns sinkholes would prevent that, but, ultimately, if Nintendo does this by injecting packets to induce the switch to do so, or simply toggles a switch remotely that requires injecting packets rather than simply closing an nintendo account and making it impossible to use it for things like multiplay, which not all of us really care about, depends on your taste in games, and while I have been known to enjoy a good MMORPG here and there my preference is very strongly for turn based Roleplaying games, a niche I don't really play outside of at all, including Action RPGS which are the current trend, I don't care for them.

presumably you can add a DNS sinkhole to prevent the device from reporting on what you're doing
and also edit your Firefall rules to block all incoming Traffic from Nintendo and force incoming packets to null route Thus rendering communication in either Direction impossible.
One of the reasons I love this place.

I mean we could but we'd just get slower service.

Yeah Nintendo could sure use to take from Bethesda's example here.
they've crushed so many fan products just for infringing on their IP. they're so litigious. It's awful. You're right, a new norm here would be wonderful.

we need some kind of law to make rewarding people for !@#$ing up a crime.
and illegal under the constitution, so that !@#$-ups such as RFK-JR stop getting to fail upwards.
telling me I'm not a victim = Gas lighting.
I know what was said about me.
