Analogue likely doesn't emulate the hardware at the transistor level, as it's far more difficult than doing what most software emulators do.

From an interesting (altough non-conclusive) HN-thread [1].

Without seeing the code, it's impossible to know where Analog's implementation falls on the spectrum of software emulation vs hardware simulation. There is nothing magical about FPGAs that automatically makes anything developed with them a 1:1 representation of real hardware. In fact, there are plenty of instances where the FPGA version of a particular console is literally just a representation of a popular emulator only in verilog/vhdl. In many instances, even the best FPGA implementations of some systems are still only simulating system level behavior. Off the top of my head, one famously difficult case is audio, where many chips have analog circuitry that cannot be fully simulated.

Letztendlich ist es schwer dazwischen zu unterscheiden. Ein Cheat läuft immer lokal auf der eigenen Hardware.

Im Falle der PSP ist es mit Sicherheit offline, aber inzwischen enthalten die meisten Spiele Online-Elemente, selbst wenn sie eigentlich offline spielbar sind (bzw. sein müssten).

Ich glaube, es ist sehr schwer, cheats für Online-Spiele zu verbieten, ohne auch rechtliche Schritte gegen cheats für Singleplayer-Spiele zu ermöglichen.

Z.B. gibt es zwar das Recht auf eine Privatkopie, aber nur, solange kein Kopierschutz umgangen wird. Nun haben seit Jahrzehnten CD's einen unwirksamen Kopierschutz, aber rechtlich sind Privatkopien trotzdem verboten.

So langsam gehen die CD's kaputt, und eigentlich darf niemand die Daten darauf für sich selbst und die Nachwelt aufbewahren.

Wenn Cheats rechtlich verboten werden, könnte ein schlecht formuliertes Gesetz/Gerichtsentscheidung lokale Modifikation von jeglicher Software verbieten. Das wäre problematisch für alles Mögliche, vom Sicherheitslücken finden, zu Preservation für die Nachwelt und auch einfaches Modding

Agreed. Being able to customize all elements of the top bar is one of the great things about Firefox.
I don't see a reason why it shouldn't be possible to remove newly added elements. Even the "Open a new tab" button can be removed, as well as the recently added "View recent browsing across windows and devices" button.

FreeTube does not have controller support, and for AndroidTV I'd recommend SmartTube.

Kodi/LibreELEC is able to do all of it, but IMO it's not a good experience for browsing YouTube and I don't know how well the third party Steam Link integrations work.

This is why I'd also recommend LineageOS Android TV, which supports Pi's thanks to konstakang. But I'm not sure why it'd work better than a FireTV stick, since both run AndroidTV.

Edit: I've had an issue where the Pi 5 wouldn't boot AndroidTV, until I tried to turn it on again after a few weeks. So I'd recommend sticking with the FireTV + SmartTube + Jellyfin + Steam Link (unless you've got a Pi 5 lying around anyway).

Edit 2: The Pi 5 + Android TV had issues with HDMI-CEC of the TV, so I had to buy a remote with a USB adapter. This sends the wrong signals (e.g. keyboard enter, not what Android TV expects), which is fixable with some app remapper. Maybe it'll work better for you, but the FireTV is likely the easier solution.

IIRC the acceleration curves supported by Sway are the same as libinput, at least that's how I understood the poor pieces of Dokumentation I found [1]. I don't think think libinput supports offsets and upper limits, so it's not really useful for gaming.

I'd recommend going with leetmouse, which does work well (altough I don't use it anymore).

leetmouse by systemofapwne is more up to date and includes the PR of N-R-K [2].

Sehr guter Kommentar. Diese Gedanken hatte ich bei den Aussagen Spohrs von der Lufthansa auch.

Die Wirtschaft wird nicht besonders unter dem wegfallen von Billigfliegern leiden.

I agree that there are many great free streaming sites out there, with 1080p and good quality.

But quality is still an advantage of paid services (or acquirung the larger files in other ways). Streaming with higher bitrate costs way more bandwidth (= money) while being marginally better.

It's noticeable though, if you have a good, large enough display. Especially darker scenes suffer from low bitrate. On my phone I don't notice it at all.

That's even true for high bitrate. E.g. I've even compared a Reacher WEB-DL to BluRay remux, and the latter was noticeably better — not that it's worth the additional storage usage.

What RAID system did you use which corrupted your data on power loss? With software raid like zfs I believe corruption on power loss shouldn't be a problem (unless the hardware fails. Or your using btrfs raid 5/6, ignoring all warnings).

Edit: For this reason I'm looking into buying another drive for an offline backup of my media files. I could redownload them, but it'd be increasingly more annoying.

Yes.

If VPN's actually won't be able to protect its users from copyright claims anymore, there'll still be anonymisation networks like I2P (at least so long as encryption isn't banned).

Yes, it's slow atm, but if it was included in more torrent clients and enabled by default, speeds would likely get better.

Because they use the official apps/web-vault, they don't need to implement most of the vault/encryption features, so at least the actual data should be fine.

Security audits are expensive, so I don't expect it to happen, unless some sponsor pays for it.

They have processes for CVEs and it seems like there wasn't any major security issues (altough I wouldn't host a public instance for unknown users).

“On skippable ads, the button appears after 5 seconds into playback, as always.”

They aren't hiding the skip-button, they are hiding the not-being-able-to skip-button.

I guess the advantage for Google is that users can't know whether they'll be able to skip, so they might watch more of the ad with expectations that they might be able to skip it.
