I’ve been wondering whether to pick this up given how it’s often on sale on Steam. I’ve heard a lot about the controls being lacklustre and the personality of the characters being forgettable.
My nephew really enjoyed the game (he was 9 at the time) so I wonder if they weren’t targeting old fans of the genre but instead new, younger ones.
I regularly replay Jack and Daxter given how fun the characters are (the first game before they shifted a little darker in tone). There’s a game I’d love to see return (or reimagined a la Yuka-Laylee).
It’s not a loophole. As a subsidiary, profits are still invested into the nonprofit and they’re still guided by the Mozilla manifesto. It just lets them do more and raise more funds which would be difficult to do with nonprofit status (selling default search engine for instance). Here’s their original press release when they incorporated Mozilla Corporation in 2005.
Mozilla Foundation has a wholly owned subsidiary that is Mozilla Corporation that is for-profit.
For instance the revenue from Google, so they’re the default search engine, is seen by Mozilla Corporation. So things search-related will indeed be part of their for-profit arm.
They’re growing from different types of hair follicles. Why do we have different types? I don’t think anyone knows for certain. Possibly something to do with the development from the full body hair of our ancestors to the partial coverage we have today.
No, VLC is its own thing however it uses libavcodec from the FFmpeg project for a large number of the codecs included in VLC. But VLC is far from being just an FFmpeg GUI.
You forget the fact that if Obsidian were given the keys to Fallout again, I doubt they’d have much trouble enticing back the critical talent they would want back from FO:NV. Heck, who wouldn’t want to jump back into the series and do right by it given the fandom that has just come on board and the fandom still rooting for NV all these years later.
No. Most SSDs actually contain far more storage internally than the SSD controller exposes. They then even out the wear and tear of the flash memory “packages” by cycling through the various packages and, given there being more packages than actually exposed for use, this offers a level of redundancy so the device lasts longer.
Because of this, wiping the logical device (e.g. zero filling or writing random data multiple times) doesn’t actually guarantee every storage package is written to / overwritten. Thus data may still reside even after wiping (that can be accessed by reading the packages directly and skipping the controller which abstracts these packages into a virtual block device).
Some SSDs offer a secure wipe tool that does a low level wipe of every page or wipes out an encryption key and generates a new one but not every SSD on the market offers that feature.
From the company my org has used to decommission old hardware; an industrial grinder is sadly the most assured way to guarantee no data can be recovered.
It depends what the tie ratio / attach rate is for the device and whether owners maintain usage of the device or whether it’s a novelty that wears off over time and the device gathers dust.
