Are they still storing passwords in plaintext?

It’s often the military’s own flowed down certification requirements that result in significantly higher costs

Sounds like Qualcomm finally got a taste of FAFO

This dude has seen some shit.

I just wishlisted the fuck outta this bitch

That’s how some people found it, but it would disappear when someone would login to investigate.

Let’s make sure no single player games work either as well as our new disc-free console for real pros.

It reminds me in a lot of ways of FFXIV. It was made by a lot of the same people so that’s no surprise. It’s fairly dark but it’s a good story. The expansions are way too short - I had hoped they’d add more depth to some of the back story.

I enjoyed the game a lot in spite of its shortcomings. It doesn’t have as much “extra stuff” to do as many other final fantasies but the core game is solid.

I ended up picking up the PC version to play through again. The PS5 version is held back a lot by the platform.

Even phones have been available with more than 8 gigs of ram for ~5 years

It’s really sad that this needs to be an actual headline.

The plot thickens, do keep us apprised of developments. The polished surface should make it easier to remove contaminants.

Vista was absolutely the slowest thing imaginable. They reduced the requirements as part of a marketing campaign for “Vista-ready” PCs, but PCs that ran it “well” were few and far between. Even after 7 came out if you went back to Vista it was noticeably slower.
