He just turns into a Zombie Process and keeps going

This is correct, as long as the copy was produced lawfully, which is only possible if no copy protection was circumvented.

Section 103 (17 U.S.C Sec. 1201(a)(1)) of the DMCA states: No person shall circumvent a technological measure that effectively controls access to a work protected under this title.

This law was created to limit the rights from 17 USC 117, and yes exceptions to section 103 exist, but those are very specific and some of them even exclude games specifically from the exceptions.

But I am no lawyer, and as a European I only have a very limited view and knowledge of US laws, so yes it is only my understanding of those laws and I could be wrong, so don't take my words as a legal advice or anything like that. I am only a normal human with some experience with laws and jurisdictions, but far away from a specialist.

Nearly all jurisdictions have DMCA like laws which clearly say that circumventing copy protection is against the law. So in those jurisdictions it is piracy to use a backup of a copy protected game and I am very sure that a map of the countries where the Switch 2 can be officially bought and a map with countries who have thoses laws will produce a lot of matches. Maybe I am wrong, but I highly doubt it.

You may have the right to make a backup, but playing that backup on a non sectioned device or via non sectioned means is still a breach of the TOS and breaking the license terms of the game and/or console. Oh and it is in violation of the DMCA as far as I know, because to make the backup it is needed to circumvent copy protection, which is forbidden by the rules of the DMCA (and equal laws in other jurisdictions like Europe). You may own the cartridge, but you still only have a license (with very specific terms and rules) to use the software on it.

Das ist nicht korrekt, out of tree Module fallen nicht einfach unter GPL nur weil man sie in den Kernel lädt.

Problem with anxiety is that literally anything can be a trigger, that makes it so complicated (even impossible) to create a world without them.

I don't want to belittle the point that you are raising, I for myself have more then enough other anxieties to know better then that, and you have my fullest sympathies.

I hope we will learn from the SecureBoot debacle and not give Microsoft the primary signing keys and infrastructure for this again.

From the Nexus Mods Discord:

God of War No PSN Requirement Mod

Hi <@&1116364961757790238>

We've had several questions from the community about the NoPSSDK mod for God of War Ragnarok which is no longer available on the site.

We would like to clarify this page was removed by the mod author and not by a member of our team.

I've reached out to iArtorias to find out what happened, but we suspect that Sony may have requested they remove it as they've deleted it from GitHub too.

Mostly historical reasons, /home was often a network mounted directory, but /root must be local.

And only regular users have their home in /home

The problem is the direct contact to the water, a blanket with water running through it in a circle with a heat spreader or a different cooling device would solve that and would reduce the amount of water by a lot. The blanket would be a bit heavier but by that it would double as a weighted blanket too.

Instead of a blanket the same could be built into the mattresses, not really a water bed but a bed with water cooling.

Devices, for example computers, get cooled like that.

Creating a good emulator takes a lot of time and money, and that I think is the true reason why.

What they have released is a MVP, a minimum viable product, it checks all the boxes for a releaseable thing and that's what the higher ups, the product leads and other finance stakeholders want to hear.

Additional features or proper scaling? Yeah, nice we put that on the list for MVP+, for sure! When will that come? Nobody knows and we have no development time to work on it because now with the release the focus was shifted to the next project, but it is on the list and we will come back to it.

I have heard that so often in so many projects I was part of, as a grunt with no power, and for nearly all of them I still wait for the MVP+ time to ever happen.
