and the Xbox One to my knowledge is the only console in history to never have been hacked I am big on console hacking mostly because of the preservation aspect. I don't like the idea of games being unplayable or unobtainable once authorization servers go offline. We already saw it with the Wii. there's no way to play Castelvania Legends Rebirth unless your system is modded. Even some physical games like the PS4/Xbox One Tony Hawk game had like 100 MB of data on the disc and the game required you to go online to download the rest of the game for some reason (I am guessing rushing to ship it for a holiday). not being able to play a physical game on a physical piece of hardware 20 years from now is unnerving to me. it's kinda like those DivX discs Circuit City sold, all over again it also helps that I could not care less about playing games online. my PS4 Pro is forever on firmware 5.05 but people lately have been figuring out how to "backport" new games so they work on old firmwares. also for those into it, a Microsoft employee gave an incredibly interesting presentation on how the 360 was hacked and why the xbox one never was (and never will be) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7VwtOrwceo

also, i mean, console hacking is just plain cool and interesting. securing hardware from the owner is extremely difficult, which makes it an interesting challenge.

after a long time using wsl(2) i ended up finally also moving to visual studio code, and man the integration is both incredibly slick and sort of obviously hacked together in a very unmicrosoftian way.

this isn't wrong but it's very funny. microsoft explicitly thinks of the user as the enemy. (as they must, to support their business model) the speaker even openly says "it's sold on a razor and blades model"

Chumbawumba4ever97 posted:and the Xbox One to my knowledge is the only console in history to never have been hacked xbox one also has a "dev mode" for deploying custom UWP apps too. it's meant for developing UWP apps (  ) and games but if you want an app that isn't or won't be allowed on the store (retroarch, etc) then you can sideload it. with that, and that most xbox exclusives are already on the PC anyway, it gives less reasons to try and hack into it. not zero reasons, but less.sidenote: just checked again, my Awful UWP app is still on the Xbox Store, and still works despite several Windows and dashboard upgrades, even after not having not been updated in two+ years.

windows is okay if you buy pro and know all the arcane steps to unfuck it after installation (like using gpedit.msc to turn off cortana)

pram posted:the setup being: trying to install windows on a system with more than 1 disk this reminds me, on win10 when you enable bitlocker on a volume it makes you save the recovery key text file but won't let you save it to a bitlockered disk. this means if you only have the one system disk and it's already bitlockered you can't then enable bitlocker on a second disk i ran into this issue last year trying to enable bitlocker on a USB SSD, ended up having to plug in a second USB drive to the PC

explain to me why anyone would ever save the bitlocker recovery key to an unecrypted internal hard drive on the SAME MACHINE. Also explain to me why you would want to save that recovery key to the drive you are encrypting

the person in question is very bad at using computers and/or understanding what bitlocker is for
