The music is iconic. It’s a very challenging game to finish. I like to play the Sega Saturn port with the Mission Stick that came bundled with Space Harrier.

If you read the article it briefly touches on how the “doom spiral” could affect the trajectory of a language that is not widely spoken. It’s not a great article though, it just repeats the same thing for several pages, points the finger at wikipedia instead of the content-generation farms and then fails to properly conclude the argument of their presumed hypothesis.

Could you please use the cross-post feature instead of making a separate post in each community? That way our front-ends can consolidate multiple cross-posts into one post instead of it being listed multiple times.

Honestly, doing it your way looks like spam. This is what I see in my feed:

Correct, Tor browser doesn’t include the local translation feature.

Maybe you didn’t see the link, but the PDF of the original paper is linked by the page in the post: https://eprint.iacr.org/2022/639.pdf

The paper that you found is also interesting and references the 2022 paper.

Reading the article, I don’t think they’re trying to imply what is suggested by the headline, ie. that the real-name registration system is being abused somehow to scam people.

Rather it’s an article pointing out that the real-name registration system did not help to combat the already rising number of scams, which was the reason that the government gave for passing the law.

It doesn’t seem to be phone-specific either:

Hong Kong has seen a sharp increase in overall scam-related crime figures in recent years. Between 2020 and 2024, the number of scams reported to police almost tripled.

It’s a useful data point to argue against any similar initiatives in other countries, where they may use the same reasoning to justify the law. It doesn’t seem to make a difference, as criminals will always find a way regardless of the hoops that you make law-abiding citizens jump through.

Utility is born of necessity, and it’s true that every joke needs a punchline.

No problem, let me just say that I haven’t tried it myself but I’ve watched a lot of videos of other people trying it and the worst results that I’ve seen have been the ones using a gel that they paint onto the plastic and then cover in plastic wrap. This tends to leave a streaky effect because the substance is not equally thick in every area and so it has more whitening effect where it’s thicker.

The best results that I’ve seen have been the ones that have completely submerged the plastic in a liquid peroxide solution, or have suspended the plastic above the solution to immerse it in the vapors that evaporate off from the peroxide (pure oxygen). These methods give completely uniform coverage so they whiten the plastic equally in every place.

It seems that you also need strong UV, and people that live nearer the equator have better success using the sun. But in the absence of good UV lighting, heat also seems to have some effect.

Good luck!

But god forbid you unplug a controller while the console is switched on. Better know how to replace that fuse on the controller board!

(If you just bridge it with a wire, I won’t tell anyone).

Let me be the one to introduce you to the rabbit hole that is retr0bright. There are numerous videos on youtube of various different methods of retro-brighting.

The most scientifically thorough treatment of the phenomenon that I’ve seen is this paper: https://hackaday.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/The-Retrobright-Mystery.pdf

Thank you both for telling me the answers to your security questions.

I generally do not trust manfucturer preinstalled OS.

Especially pertinent for Lenovo.

Population expansion is exponential but the tram moves at constant velocity, so by the time it reaches the end of the track of 8bn people there will be an exponentially increasing number of people further down the track.

The bottom one will kill an infinite amount of people in finite time.
