The cracks, they don’t remove our protection. The cracks still have all our code in and all our code is executed. There is even more code on top of the cracked code - that is executing on top of our code, and causing even more stuff to be executed. So there is technically no way that the cracked version is faster than the uncracked version. That’s simply a technical fact.
Going by that logic, there’s simply no way that Denuvo does not hinder performance.
RPS: The study you mention showed that having Denuvo software improves revenues at launch, but also showed that a certain point after release - I think it was around three months - it evens out. Do you think publishers should have a policy of eventually removing Denuvo and making that clear to players in their marketing?
Andreas Ullmann: That’s the only point of the study where I’m not totally agreeing.
Well, who would have thunk!
Hmm, seems like my definition of “secret” is way different than Bill Gates’.
Few years ago or so some billionaire said that no one should die a billionaire and donated his money. Or something like that, I don’t remember the details clearly. Though I’m not sure it’s what you’re after as he’s done so when really old.
For all the mentioned cases, if your firewall blocks incoming packets by default, no one can access it, no matter what is the source of the port being open.
You don’t configure it on the docker level, at least if you care about outside connections. If you mean from your local computer to a docker container, by default you cannot connect, unless you expose the port to the system. If you mean from other docker containers, just create your own separate network to run the container in and even docker containers cannot access the ports.
I usually use netstat -tulpn, it lists all ports, not only docker, but docker is included. docker ps should also show all exposed ports and their mappings.
In general, all docker containers run on some internal docker network. Either the default or a custom one. The network’s ports don’t interfere with your own, that’s why you can have 20 nginx servers running in a docker container on the same port. When you bind a port in docker, you basically create a bridge from the docker network to your PC’s local network. So now anything that can connect to your PC can also connect to the service. And if you allow connection to the port from outside the network, it will work as well. Note that port forwarding on your router must be set up.
So in conclusion, to actually make a service running in docker visible to the public internet, you need to do quite a few steps!
On Linux, local firewall is usually disabled by default, but the other two steps require you to actively change the default config. And you mention that all incoming traffic is dropped using UFW, so all three parts should be covered.
I mean, sure, but this could be the push to open architecture. Half the apps wouldn’t need recompiling anyway, only those containing native code.
Realistically it could take 2-3 years for Qualcomm to switch to RISC-V (so 5 years because we all know how smooth such huge transitions are). That’s enough time for Google to fully support Android on RISC-V.
IMO it’s now in Google’s hands, once they add support, interesting things are gonna happen. I could even see Arm going out of business, I’m sure Qualcomm would happily help others transition for a very fair fee to help get them out of business.
I think with RISC-V being as supported as it is (meaning it’s nothing obscure, but has strong open source toolchain support), this might potentially be a very bad move for Arm.
Anyway, I love it when corporate greed destroys corporations instead of humans for a change. And if open architecture gains traction thanks to that, well, all the better.
And whatever doesn’t use bullying as a tool to get more customers.
Ah, time to switch to RISC-V, then? Long term it’s the best choice. Wouldn’t be surprised if they started working on it.
Hamas just sometimes promenades the bodies around for fun.
Being an asshole is a mental problem in the literal sense. If you mean the thing more commonly known as a “mental problem”, then no, we can’t because we don’t have access to her diagnosis.
You know why “retard” is offensive nowadays, even though it literally means “slow” which is a pretty nice word to use? Because people overused it to mean whatever they wanted and, unsurprisingly, people stopped liking it. Don’t do the same for “mental problems”.
Exactly the same!
Hmm, let’s ponder for a while what could I have meant. Soooo, do I put coins into my SNES or Genesis? Hmm, tough question, but if I had to give a definitive answer, it would be no. For multiple reasons, really. Like not having SNES or Genesis. And there being no slot for coins. Well, technically there’s a slot that you can put coins into, but it’s better to put the game cartridge there.
So, long story short, no I don’t. But where else would people in the past put coins into to play games? Well, that, my dear reader, is left as an exercise to you.
All of the above managed through Obtainium, directly from the source.
Three of those are made by me, but I also use them often (that’s why I created them in the first place).
Nah, the consumers are just wrong. They don’t want entertainment, they want gambling.

I’m still waiting for the game to come to GOG.
Oh yeah, let’s wait until they start murdering people to maybe take some action.
