Comment Re:Which platform? (Score 1) 72

If I were going to buy one so that I can play this game, which is the better choice? Which one is newer?

Out of the box, the Xbox Series X is slightly better hardware than the regular PS5. it's not really enough to matter, especially on a mutliplatform game, but since you asked...

That said, Sony offers the PS5 Pro, a higher spec version of the console that Microsoft does not offer an equivalent of. So if price is no object, the PS5 Pro is expected to be the best platform to play it on.

Comment Upcoming? (Score 4, Insightful) 50

Upcoming? The iPhone 16e was released last year. These are schematics for a phone that has been out for a year.

The problem with this document's release is that it's technical information that was supposed to be kept confidential forever.

I'm assuming this is just an error on the FCC's part, and that they automatically released it after a year. Though with the current administration, Hanlon's razor is getting harder and harder to apply.

Not too long. It's defense in depth; it's not meant to be outright impenetrable, just very (very) hard to get through.

Someone with enough drive, enough time, and enough resources will eventually put together an exploit chain that doesn't require an invalid tagged memory access. But if that raises the manpower requirement by 10-fold (to pull a number out of my ass), then it makes it that much more expensive to attack a phone. At some point, the Apple juice won't be worth the squeeze.

Comment Developer Identification? (Score 1) 24

Given these changes, how does developer identification work? Is there even dev identification at this point?

My understanding is that Microsoft followed Apple for the same reason: a financial trail allows the stores to better authenticate that a developer is who they say they are, and conversely, it makes it harder for bad actors to get into the store. If Microsoft is no longer charging, do they still have an effective means to ID devs and to screen out fakes?

It won't take long to convince her - or him - to be debriefed then cooperate. There are a few needs for an individual and huge dividends to the Ukraine...well, at least until this prisoner...er, perhaps an asset...comes down with a fatal case of Vx, leaping from a 15th floor balcony in despair, or shooting themselves in the back of the head a few times.

Why can't people STFU and keep information like this out of the news? GI Joes, Crayon eaters, Squids, Coasties, Space Cadets, and Chair Force folks understand. Their dependent families understand. Veterans, spouses, and certain other professionals understand.

If you're some dipshit Air Force Sergeant, who sends his brother a photo via Apple Messenger, embedded with GPS data, saying where you (and your unit, etc.) are located, you're a fucknut who needs to be investigated-interrogated by the OSI.
