If you care at all about users who depend on screen-reader software, don't do this.

GTA San Andreas (2004) did not have cross-platform multiplayer, so OP's assessment may be accurate.
Exactly this.

Typically the keys come from legitimate promotions such as the Humble Bundle, but purchased (as you said) with stolen card details.

The 64k compo was particularly weak this year. I'd recommend checking out the 4k intro and 4k executable graphics compos for some stellar work.
And I'm sure this won't be used by bad actors at all...

Magic Leap != LeapMotion

How long until they pull the Android version?
There's https://modarchive.org/ though it seems they're having some server trouble at the moment. Definitely worth checking out when it's back up though.

Seems to render The Emoji Demo [0] nice and buttery smooth, though the skintone cube scene appears a tad broken. Quite impressed.

I'm reminded of this DEF CON talk from 4 years ago detailing a similar technique: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5N1C3WB8c0o
Touch ID login is super convenient, and remapping Caps Lock as a tactile Esc key has made for a much more pleasant vim experience. That's it.

Let's not do this again.
By enabling Trusted Device unlocking you're giving yourself convenience at the cost of an increased attack surface. To maintain security you really need to consider the threat model of these 'convenience' features and stop using them.
Re:Software compatibility and our own “User-Agent” problem on Tuesday December 12, 2017 @06:46AM (#15904832)
Additionally, the GameBoy's bootrom compares the Nintendo logo from the cartridge with a copy stored in the bootrom, and refuses to boot if they don't match. However, several bootleg companies realised that the console reads the logo from the cartridge twice - once to display it and once to compare it. By abusing the precise timings involved, they could display a bootlegged logo while still passing the checks.

Re:Ask HN: Is there an IM that supports code snippets? on Friday November 24, 2017 @07:49AM (#15770785)
Discord does: wrap your code in `` inline or ``` for a block.

Language highlighting can be supplied too:

  ```cpp
  /* some C++ code here */
  ```
> It's unfortunate that this particular bug wasn't found before release but I think the root cause wasn't necessarily this pool size being low but instead insufficient testing.

Unless I'm misinterpreting the video, the bug only occurs if you modify the game to add extra custom songs. The bug won't occur with the original unmodified game data. As with so many things in tech, it works just fine for the intended use case.

Re:iOS Version Stats on Monday September 18, 2017 @06:21AM (#15274633)
Sure, Google run staggered rollouts for the Nexus/Pixel line, but all the other OEMs (Samsung, OnePlus, etc) take months to release their customized OS versions, if they ever do.

In addition, Android devices often have very short OS update support lifecycles (2 years seems to be common), while iOS 11 looks to be supporting as far back as the iPhone 5S (2013)
