Also for that same module, is it able to integrate it in a broader campaign. I expanded the lore and why the players got here with extra quests, fluff and mystery and they only reached said dungeon at 2nd session only.

Also the way a PC died due to a rat bite that could only be cured by magic (5e of this module is ironically harsher than the 3.5) as he was losing max HP every 24H. As the players expressed dislike with that character the owning player was willing to go for a new character and I had planned a big drama scene where the players exit in emergency the dungeon and try to rally the nearet village where there's a priestessd and happens that I could match the rolls so he would die in the priestess hands.

But I made the mistake to allow them to spend the night to get their 3rd level which would have allowed the druid to get his cure illnesses spell botching the set up.

Happens that I decided to exploit the fact that all other character the previous days made an offering to Beshaba to curse that character and force rolls during night (and try to find a way to make the new character come into play).

How it unfolded : - they were sleeping and it was the bard's turn for watch

- the bard was a follower of Tharizdun and was about to sacrifice the dieing character as said character was agonizing

- the new character was a Kara-turian enforcer that was chasing a yokai (he didn't knew) that used other people as disguise, made it happen that the yokai choose the dieing character "by coincidence" appearance

- the yokai being chased opens a portal while hiding to the dungeon

- the new character litteraly pops through a Wild Magic portal that pushed away the bard and tries to bash the old character as the old character runes on his skin glow a last time as he dies and repels everybody

- made the new character pop naked as I wasn't paying attention to what the player was saying when he was listing his inventory

- I let them handle the big mess

"and it generated a critical exception error. This caused the FPRSA-R primary system to disconnect, as designed,"

as designed here sounds a big PR move to hide the fact they let an uncaught exception crash the entire software ...

How about : don't trust your inputs guys ?

This is at best another forensic tool (unlocking the TPM of a locked laptop/phone for prosecution) and at worst a red herring for security flag.

- Clone a passport -> why cloning if you can issue new ones - getting risked being detected while using a clone (2 entries in 2 different countries, and you also need to look like the person) not to mention you have to destroy the passport

- Phone enclaves -> see above

- Crypto -> Hardware wallets should be kept on eye as badly as your normal wallet

- SIM Cards -> Swapping is faster, or if you're the the gov, just an intercept warrant will do the trick

- Laptops -> see above

- EMV Chips -> If you have those skills and money, I don't think you'll lose time on cloning credit/debit cards

That makes sense why when I use it as a worldbuilding tool for my RP campaigns it's not bad because there is no "bad" answer in that case technically

Maybe the market cap will go back to it's pre-covid values

From 2018 to 2020 cap was stable at around 200B$

Covid propelled it to over 2600B$ just on 2021

Now a decrease seems pretty normal
