When Playstation reads a disc, it looks for a special sequence on the disc that tells the Playstation “hey, this is a Playstation game. You should load it.”

That sequence is proprietary and isn’t on burned copies of games. This is anti-piracy protection, and makes sense from a monetary standpoint.

When you put Alien: Resurrection in the console, which has that sequence, the Playstation is told that “hey, this is a real Playstation game. You should load it.” The game loads, then you can put in the cheat, which tells the game to stop loading from the disc momentarily while another disc is loaded (think “please insert disc 2 from final fantasy”). At this point, you can pop in your burned copy of the game, then press a button to continue loading from disc, at which point the game tells the system “hey, this new guy is with me. Let him through”, and the Playstation loads the new game from the disc.

They’re probably training their AI-powered level generation

You can also watch either movie if you’re stupid and alone. I should know because I did it.

The guy rotated his hips to ask the streaming booth to his left if they have the movie, thus his feet were still aimed at the booth in the first panel.

Do… do you know how much money the US has given to Ukraine for this effort? A continuous conflict is untenable. The U.S. gov would want the opposite of what you’re thinking

I also noticed Mazda wasn’t on there. Doesn’t even come up in a search. Does that mean they’re more respectful of privacy?

I’m a principal dev (the step higher than senior in my company) and I’m under 40. I think it mostly depends on luck and being in the right place at the right time.

The terrible content moderation policies and adblock bans will ruin it long before shorts.

Starfield is fun to me 🤷‍♂️

After years of failing to define what “woke” means and why they hate it, they’ve decided to pivot to blaming Obama on Hillary running in 2016.

My guess is that a deal was struck before the flip was flopped.

Are there any renders of what it looked like in its heyday?

Yeah, but Kenya make AI any better?

Let this be the day when I first went into Lemmy comments to write something and, alas, it was already there.

This is a little misleading. It’s $170k in pay and benefits, not just salary. Still, UPS drivers deserve it and this will make everyone’s experience with UPS so much better.

“Only a small percent of people will understand this obvious metaphor.”

I can’t find Infinity for Lemmy on fdroid. Do I need to add a repo?

No, she’s Ukrainian. And an architect. And speaks 70 languages fluently.
