A lot of people say this and I don't get it. What would be lost by having each playstyle be balanced properly and then adding difficulty scaling on top of that?

This age period is shockingly young; I don't remember exactly but iirc it's less than one year old.

Anecdotally, that sounds hard to believe to me, because I moved from South Korea (which has the same sound ambiguity) to the US at the age of 11 and have no problem at all distinguishing between the two sounds. All of my Korean friends that I had back in middle school also had no issues, even though none of them were born in the US. On the contrary, I've been told at times that I speak Korean with an obvious western accent.

It's in reference to one of the recurring themes that came up in the blogs and streams of Terry A. Davis, sole developer of TempleOS.

GOG, because I don't care about badges and achievements and other trinkets, but I do care about DRM

From what I understand, the end of the URL string is just one of the clues the browser uses to determine the "type" of received data (https://mimesniff.spec.whatwg.org/), and the true behavior depends on the browser's specific implementation. A part of the process involves actually reading and analyzing a small portion of the received file to see if the file really is the type that the URL claims it is. For example, I started a quick python server, and made it serve the OP image, except I renamed it as a jpg file (without actually converting the image of course). When saving the picture inside the browser, Firefox correctly identifies the file as a png image: While edge incorrectly tries to save the image as a jpg image:

Regarding your "MP3" file specifically, opening it in a hex editor reveals that the actual file contents identifies itself as an M4A file, despite what the URL claims:

So, you should be good to download them any way you find convenient, and then just renaming them to the proper extension afterwards.

It's an exploit path to a UEFI bootkit, so at the very least you'd have to throw your motherboard away or find someone that can physically overwrite it through an external flash programmer or something. And the patch should be delivered through a UEFI firmware update, so if your motherboard is no longer supported you would have to buy a new one. And for laptops and embedded devices having everything soldered in, the motherboard is basically the whole computer, so I don't think it's that much of an exaggeration.

I guess it's true that if you have ring 0 access you're boned, bug if your ring 0 access gets upgraded into ring -2 access you are even more boned. They put those security boundaries in place for a reason after all.

You probably discussed it because you were aware and interested in it, and your awareness and interest showed through in your other trackable habits outside of your chatroom. You only notice when they guess your interests correctly.

What do you mean brother? The whole point of this paper is that the youth of age 18-24 in 2024 are not behaving like the youth of age 18-24 in 2009 up to 2018.

Unfortunately this analysis is a year over year comparison over the same age groups, not an age over age comparison in the same year. So your claim would not apply in this case.

Sure, if they were designed that way, I would not call them defects either.

Just because all defect stock are routed to the US inventory, doesn't mean that US inventory is made up of all defect stock.
