You don’t HAVE to make another James Bond movie.

We already have Luigi Health Claim Adjuster.

The relevant part of Pirates of Silicon Valley. After which you should watch the whole thing. It’s fan fiction, but it’s the best explanation of what happened between Apple and Microsoft leading into the 1990s.

“You can’t steal that public data! We stole it first!”

And considering that’s exactly what Microsoft did to Apple with point and click, what irony!

Nothing is wrong, comrade.

This is a real problem, and Apple can’t patch it out of the hardware. The only thing they can do is write software to run in advance of hardware execution to “randomize” when and where memory is written to and read from. That will slightly decrease the performance of these chips. The “older” chips from 2021 would see the worst performance reduction. M3 users probably won’t even be able to tell.

The attack vector is a web browser. Even a completely updated safari is vulnerable, but Chrome is seemingly easier to exploit (the way browsers store website data in memory is the key). An encrypted browser won’t change anything because the attack is reading the unencrypted data being displayed to the user.

It takes several minutes for a compromised website to perform the attack. So basic sense practices apply. If you think a website is unsafe, don’t open it. If you think something is happening, closing the suspicious sites immediately might stop the attack before any damage is done. I don’t know how easy it would be to compromise a trusted site, but it’s been done in the past.

Apple could potentially patch Safari to do things that make it harder for the attack to work correctly, and you can bet they’re already retooling the next generation of processors to get rid of this exploit. They did the same thing when an unpatchable exploit was found in the M1 series, M2s have a stopgap measure, and M3s were redrawn to make it an nonissue.

The Sims 2 has always been on the Mac App Store under Aspyr.

It still gets random updates to account for system-level changes.

Seriously.

Doesn’t one of the most powerful company on Earth give its employees excellent health insurance? Aren’t they invested in the wellbeing of a valuable employee?

…Come again?

Man, that looks like Vietnam. No, thanks.

You hold your sandwiches like this? Weirdo…

Shit’s getting real in Honey’s legal department.

Makes sense, when Sunshine was made the only other 3D Mario was 64, so it used the same formula on a larger and more elaborate scale.

But then something unexpected happened, they made bonus levels that were capsule worlds that looked a lot like classic Mario games. And players wanted more of that so the Galaxys were basically that, fleshed out into full games.

Odyssey is a natural progression of Galaxy’s formula. But 3D World is not a natural progression of Sunshine, its New Super Mario Bros. in 3D.

It would be nice to get more 64/Sunshine-type games.

What they need is another Super Mario 3D World, that isn’t a port from a previous system. Bowser’s Fury is a half game.

Odyssey is fantastic, but 3D World is a pitch-perfect three-dimensional adaptation of the original platformer.

I would say make the colors brighter, the size looks perfect to me.

LOL! They’re not even pretending to be a news outlet anymore.

(Let’s see how many people miss the projecting by saying I’m missing the “joke”.)

Make DEVELOPERS pay a subscription and remind them they don’t actually own the content voice actors lease to them?

How diabolically just.

That fucking sucks, and I’m sorry to hear all that.

You didn’t say, but I got the distinct impression you live in Texas. Hope you find some place more acceptable to live and work soon.

because if you put a fedora on me I’d look like a professional 2010s r/atheism “quote maker”),

Definitely not something to be proud of. :P

To paraphrase Jeff Foxworthy’s bit about men losing their hair:

“You will never hear a competent business owner say ‘I hate trans!’ Because as long as you’re a good worker, we like you! And we’re not going to say anything that’ll make you get up and leave.”

Settle down, Charlie Day.
