And now we officially know what Microsoft exactly collects with Windows 10.
I need to warn you, you might find this list shocking.

And knowing Microsoft, this might possibly not even be the complete list yet.

How can I use Google myself?

Ironically, I attempted to create Satoru (a full MK7 Editor for Linux, Windows, and macOS) 2 years ago, but I gave up soon after.

Quite disappointing, though.

also, apparently even Windows 7 isn't all good anymore. they say that the NSA's hack for getting into any Windows computer was leaked.

Wait, you genuinely never knew?
Windows always had a fuckton of backdoors for these very purposes, it's just that Windows 10 doesn't keep them top secret anymore (Microsoft can't anymore, because Edward Snowden).

I just use Linux, best antivirus ever!

It also works the other way around; robots can identify themselves as humans also:



The reason we use it on DSHack.org is not because we want to stop spam (the board itself is already secure enough without Captcha), it's to prevent automated scripts that allow you to make unlimited amount of accounts in a few seconds.

I'd rangeban Russia, China, Ukraine, and every other country full of spammers and spambots

At one point, somebody advertised his own website I was unable to access.
As it turned out, he simply banned all of Asia because of "spammers", and then whitelisted Japan, just because I told him the site was down all week on my end.
At least he was glad to see his blacklist appeared to work.

There's a common stereotype going on that people living in Asia are all considered spammers, so that would mean I'm a spammer?

My point here is, maybe there are lots of spammers in Russia, Ukraine, and China, but there are legit users there as well, and you're basically punishing them for the spam they've never sent in the first place.
Plus, if you're considering to ban all countries with lots of spammers and/or spambots, why won't you ban the USA?
The USA can always be found in many top 10's of countries that spread most spam...

I was saying this jokingly.
Of course, Linux has some exploits and viruses, but they're not even close to as bad as what Windows has.
Well, Linux exploits can be as bad as being a 20 (!) year old exploit that wasn't patched since, but once found, they've been patched quickly. Mostly.

Quoting a 1 year old post...speaking of flashbacks!

RH Cafe has been down for me yesterday as well, error 500 to be precise.

Well, I can't say that RH Cafe ever gets any ROM Hacking-related discussions...

Also, RH Cafe is down once again.
It seems like the whole Apache to Nginx switch doesn't go as flawlessly as he expected it to be...

Well, it seems to work, although the grid system looks so.....off...

Welcome, both of you. (Even though I already know Yukke a bit.)

And HonorableBore, no, don't click this link. Ever.

Well, G'Luck getting a real-time battle system to work with PHP alone...

What would you like instead? an EXE? an APK? AN ISO??

An ELF should do.

Posted by Super Hackio

ELF files are WII games.

That's very wrong.
1. It's "Wii", not "WII".
2. An ELF is a general binary format, recognised by OSs based on Unix, or OSs being Unix-like (like Linux).

I've came to the point I've got 4 different phones:
An iPhone with iOS, a Nexus with Android, another Nexus with Plasma Mobile (aka, KDE on a phone), and a Lumia with Windows 10.

iPhone and Android allow 3rd party browsers, Windows 10 doesn't, and Plasma Mobile ships with a desktop version of Firefox, but I didn't find a way to get Internet to work on that thing yet, so I don't know if I can install a different browser or not.

Despite that, I always tend to use Safari on the iPhone, and Chrome on the Android phone, it just feels more properly integrated somehow.
I tried Chrome on the iPhone, and Firefox on both, but neither of those feel like they should feel...
