Only EU citizens, not even permanent residents.

Change.org can keep and sell your info to third parties (maybe they are already doing it, i.e. you are the product).

I'm not claiming it would be safe in a cybersec way in the EU's servers, but at least they won't sell it.

> The only complexity would come in ensuring distributed systems (for load balancing) also work fine on a single system server.

This isn't part of this petition though. It would be fine to release server binaies that rely on distributed infrastructure. It would be up to fans to make it work. Which is fine by me personally.

> I don’t want my taxes poured all over this Your taxes are already poured all over things you don't care about, and things that are ridiculous expenses.

There's no incentive to keep a game alive after the server costs outlive the monthly income generated. Only a handful of games have been kept alive out of pure preservation or low cost (or in some cases, because the publishers just forgot about it).

Regulation might be necessary since in the last 8 years of gaming, less and less games have been able to be preserved. And we had had outrageous examples like, The Crew, where fans have been able to reverse engineer an analogue to Ubisoft's servers in less than a year. Ubisoft have no incentive, so maybe it is time they are forced to.

Because most users of games don't really care for this. They are either too young, or to busy with other facets of life that they just want to play the game.

It is only a small percentage that are dedicated enough to care, either because they really enjoy the game or because they want to support game preservation.

If you make it opt-in, companies won't care to add it and they will only lose a few percentage points (I would be surprised for anything higher than 1%) of people that will be put off by the lack of "EOL support" guarantee.

Because it comes from gamers and people concerned about preservation of games. Why broaden it if the people who are pushing for the initiative don't care about other stuff?

Yes, of course. I think he means all the to manage a big project's dependencies. For a small or static website, you could manage all of those manually.

You can look more into this in this video by Kaze Emanuar, famous N64 romhacker.

And then there's the other side, where some use very verbose branch names rapidly approaching 80 columns.

Good to know this was already considered!

You can hotplug them, but when plugging them, there's no short risk, as all pins have their individual connectors. A barrel TRRS headphone connector can short, because the first "pin", the tip, goes through every single connector. Imagine this was power, and one of the connectors it went through was ground.

This Wii build doesn't even have an optical disk. If you read the article, it loads up games over microSD.

You could 100% make a smaller fake "wii" by emulating it with a smartphone SoC. Mid-range phones can emulate Wii and Gamecube at 2x resolution.

However, the intention of these miniature builds is to preserve the original device, just in tiny form. No emulation involved. As if it was an official product.

It's fun to hack something up (quite literally in this case).

Thanks for your work. I tried using it to use the official Gamecube Controller USB Adapter through Steam Link, but there was some spiking noise that killed playability. Nevertheless, I think it is amazing stuff.

Reading log files with really obscure error messages might as well be reading a magical grimoire. Especially when the solution turned out to have nothing to do with the error message.

I thought publishers could already pay to be spotlighted (frontpage or the announcement popups)?

Only way to properly develop iOS apps, I'm afraid.

Connecting to a Mac Agent with Visual Studio on Windows gave me nothing but headaches.

Unity for 14+ kids is not realistic. GameMaker Studio would be a simpler alternative.

Even if you don't give them a phone, all it takes is one of their friends having one. They'll all huddle around it, or share it.

The author said that it mounts MacOS home dir by default, so that would mean you can pass files that way.

This was 7 years ago. What good would vapid praising comments do?

I read that most big subreddits use 3rd party tools to auto-moderate spam and such.

but what would Schufa have to do with it?

Electrical Engineering is much more than just microelectronics. You probably just need a few courses in hobby electronics to be able to build something like that. One of the biggest skills in this field is being able to read datasheets :)

That's clearly from ChatGPT, as it sounds like a typical reddit comment.

Mercedes-Benz UI for cars circa 2015 has to be the worst piece of UI I have used in the last 30 years. It is slow, unintuitive, has both touch controls and a turning knob that has no semblance of sanity, and each has exclusive UI control properties.

I see HN is continuing its path into slowly becoming a subreddit.

As your sibling commented mentioned, even if they attempt to treat it as a business relationship, not all people can handle it. The mental toll of receiving affection and then basically fake reciprocating it is hard, and not everybody can take it.

> The comparisons some have made to infidelity or cheating seem misplaced: There's no real relationship here

Oh, but there is plenty of platonic relationships with camgirls, streamers and such. It can reach levels of delusion that you wouldn't believe.
