You are right, they should rewrite the engine, but they didn’t and they preferred enforce the development on the re-re-re-re-re release of titles like skyrim for every possible platform on the plant.

Look at what Larian did instead… Took 6 years, added beta access and listened to the players. BG3 is far from being bug-free or “perfect” but they released a game that give almost total freedom on how you can play it, and doesn’t feel like you are on rails every time.

The problem is bethesda and others “AAA” software houses for years just did the lazy job and now that a software house showed what 6 years of real development should look like everyone is doing the Pikachu face and crying because “We don’t want BG3 to set a new standard”. The issue is us, the players, that keep buying shit for too much money.

I was thinking about that just today, I have something like 30+ services running on a single compose file and maintenance is slowly becoming hard. Probably moving to multiple compose file.

Perhaps images, video, font etc. rendering could be compromised?

Yes, it already happen in the past. Also the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth stack got exploited, like multiple kernel drivers.

But it shouldn’t be a matter of “in the past was X exploited?” but more on having a correct security posture.

Honestly if you are arguing about wasting a “perfectly working phone” you should blame it on the vendor, especially Android devices vendors have this let’s say “defect” of dropping the support after 4/5 years.

Also not going to talk about custom ROMs (with the super rare exclusion of some) managed by god knows who, without any security team behind.

Since even the NFC and Cellular Network stack got vulnerabilities the only way you would consider an old phone “safe” to use is just turning it into the equivalent of a local ARM server.

Also pretty fun seeing the replies in the original post talking about how Google Play store shouldn’t have malware on it.

I believe the risk of running outdated software is super inflated and mediatic, 99% of people would be absolutely fine running a version of Android from 3 years ago or Windows 8.

That’s the same thing people running windows XP on internet were thinking in 2017.

Then WannaCry arrived and they got their data encrypted :)

Do anyone knows if it support local-only without joining the p2p network?

WannaCry targeted hospitals, businesses and similar machines.

WannaCry targeted everything with SMB exposed, blindly.

Also, you should read more about security through obscurity, the fact that “no one will target you because you are a low-value target” is a false sense of security.

What am I looking at?

Is this, by any chance, originated from the sub called ignore? In that case is probably my bad because is set as the image of the channel. (I was playing with lemmy in the previous version and forgot about it, sorry. It will not work since your browser can’t access local file that easily without breaking the sandbox :))

Edit: I removed it so you shouldn’t see the alert anymore. What I wasn’t expecting is that apparently every sub is loaded even if you don’t visit it.

BG3 is unmatchable, not only for hogwarts legacy but for every other game.

Starfield on the other end… is the same oblivion stuff but in 2023 and without 2023 capabilities
