We had literally thousands of people going to school for electronics and various maintenance fields at any given time, it's not even close to 0.1%. More like 20-30%.

I know that to be true, but if someone is claiming all enlisted personnel are window lickers the best way to prove them wrong immediately is to focus on the technical skill of the average servicemen.

Yeah infantry tactics aren't for the stupid, not in modern wars at least. Advanced weapon systems and battlefield strategy require someone of reasonable intellect.

Yeah, it's definitely getting difficult to identify the difference in PvE and PvP from a security and financial standpoint in the modern live service landscape. Games that don't include direct competition still have aspects of them which can be messed up by other people with cheats.

A somewhat similar concept is how easy it is to stop at the space anomaly in NMS and get handed a stack of Starship AI valves that will immediately skip you past early-mid game progression in a lot of gameplay loops. It has nothing to do with paid currency which is why they don't stop it but the idea is similar I guess.

Insert meme of guy sweating over two buttons here

Irrelevant, the original point was that they don't want people who think, they want cannon fodder. As if people who can't think would be capable of running a shop or leading technically minded people in workflows and processes that will affect missions weeks away. That's just at the E-4/5 level, not even close to officers. If you can't think in the military you'll forever be bottom of the barrel, because planning and forethought is required for virtually all leadership roles beyond E-3.

90% of the military is in a field that has a direct civilian equivalent and is considered skilled work needing at least average intelligence and in most cases above. Most of the people shitting on the military in this thread couldn't even hack half of the jobs the military needs people for.

Setting aside that there really shouldn't even be an anticheat in a PvE game (unless progression allows you to unlock items that are real world currency based on which I could see why they'd want to stop people from accessing it without one of their two methods) the concept of a rootkit doesn't equal "software with admin privileges."

A rootkit is a package of different (specifically malicious) programs that are designed to hide themselves from your system.

Is the anticheat designed to be invisible when installed or running? No. Is it designed to specifically be malicious? No. Therefore it's not a rootkit.

There's a difference between software designed for malicious purposes and software that has the ability to be hijacked for a malicious purpose. These two aren't the same and everyone with even a smidgeon of actual IT security knowledge would acknowledge that at the bare minimum which no one in this thread seems to have done yet.

This isn't just semantics, rootkits are defined by their purpose not their permissions. Bunch of script kiddies in this website pretending their ability to install Arch makes them professional Comp Sci degree holders.

Reminds me of Darkest of Days.

System Shock 2 for old school, Prey (2017) for a more recent one.

Yeah it's difficult to tell if it's just the shit they're eating or the specific chemicals inside it.

How many reeducation camps does China currently operate, again?

[–] c0mbatbag3l 1 points 10 months ago

I bet they regret blowing their load on Cortana already with their useless Windows 10 feature.

Now their actual AI isn't named after the AI from the videogame they specifically used for brand recognition. What a fuck up.

Copilot is an official Microsoft offering like Outlook or PowerBI, of course they'd rather you use a product officially sanctioned by the company you already pay to handle your productivity software.
