The same Sony that put some software on CDs that would install itself, could not be removed, and was invisible to the end-user? Oh yeah, very secure.

I understand the reason for this, but if this is what they’ve decided to do they should also provide a trusted HSBC keyboard that can only be used with their banking application.

This is untrue. Overcharge protection is for preventing catastrophic events like the cell catching fire. You can easily verify this by measuring the voltage at full charge.

Why seek the approval of strangers if what you wish to do is behave poorly on the internet?

Durians are delicious. I’ve read somewhere it depends on whether you can detect the compounds that smell bad.

If you had somtam it was Thai.

Yes, an IoT device would certainly be a huge headache if it was on a proprietary protocol, I’d avoid that if at all possible. Thankfully, they haven’t made something absolutely indispensable yet.

Where I live, cashless payments via NFC. But I have the option of using a plastic card too.

It’s really just banking, I can still use the browser for most other things.

You can enable the foot-shooting complexity by writing modules for Python in C++, since it’s very easy to do. Why do I know this? Well…

The situation is dire, since plastics slowly break into smaller and smaller pieces that get everywhere, including our atmosphere. I recommend the book “A Poison Like No Other” by Matt Simon for details, but it’s a very uncomfortable read.

I believe those are games made by other studios with the League IP and published by Riot. AFAIK there’s no reason for them to have anticheat.

Thank you for pointing that out. I don’t use it for anything critical, and it’s been very useful because Kagi’s summarizer works on things like YouTube videos friends link which I don’t care enough to watch. I speak the language pair I use DeepL on, but DeepL often writes more natively than I can. In my anecdotal experience, LLMs have greatly improved the quality of machine translation.

The services I use, Kagi’s autosummarizer and DeepL, haven’t done that when I’ve checked. The downside of the summarizer is that it might remove some subtle things sometimes that I’d have liked it to keep. I imagine that would occur if I had a human summarize too, though. DeepL has been very accurate.

It’s great at summarization and translations.

I do everything important like banking etc on a separate device that isn’t my gaming PC. This has been quite liberating since I worry less about invasive anti-cheat, drm etc. I realize not everyone wants to do this but it’s been a nice compromise.

Are there Riot games on Steam?

The point of anti-cheat is to create a substantial barrier for cheating. If you have to go the extra mile to run an external hardware cheat so as to be “undetected” then surely this means the anti-cheat is working. If it were as ineffective as you imply, cheaters would be cheating on their main accounts.
