There's nothing in most of these AAA games to truly love. They're a sea of merely "alright", and they're all way too long.

But why bother with alright when there's thousands of highly regarded indie games out there for a quarter of the price?

You can also use steamcmd or DepotDownloader. It's not DRM just because no website download is available, once they are downloaded they are yours to keep.

There are games with no DRM at all on Steam as well, it's up to the developer.

If they weren't so expensive.

I could probably swallow the 200 bucks but I'm not going to pay another 90 bucks for shipping/taxes/customs.

Check out Picard, I switched to it when I switched to Linux: https://flathub.org/apps/org.musicbrainz.Picard

So OP is correct, it does apply a measure of security. Port scanning someone behind NAT isn't possible, you just end up port scanning their crappy NAT router provided by their ISP unless they have specifically opened up some ports and directed them to their internal IP address.

You end up just port scanning their crappy router on IPv6 as well because ports that are not opened are stuck at the firewall either way, no matter if you use IPv4 or IPv6.

Just because every device gets a public IP does not mean that IP is publicly accessible.

An advantage that IPv6 has against port scanning is the absurdly large network sizes. For example, my ISP gives me a /56 prefix, that is 4,722,366,482,869,645,213,696 IPv6 addresses. Good luck finding the used ones with the port open you need.

Even with just a /64 prefix you get 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 addresses, way outside the feasibility of port scanning.

I'm also a C# dev and I have been using Linux for years now.

VS Code was pretty much unusable in the beginning when compared to VS. However, nowadays VS Code is very capable at syntax highlighting and debugging.

There is no support for WPF and Forms applications on Linux, since I mostly write web and console applications I don't mind running a Windows VM for those few exceptions. There is also no support for Maui applications but as things are going right now it seems to not be going anywhere anyway.

Since we mostly deploy to Linux servers nowadays anyway it has actually made my job easier since I can run Docker without having to fiddle with it every day like I had to on Windows.

Yes, on my old phone it worked fine with the SafetyNetFix. I use microG now so Google Wallet is not implemented (yet).

As somebody who completely ignored the remake, is it worth getting on sale if I already played the original?

[–] domi@lemmy.secnd.me 5 points 7 months ago

just choosing alternative payment methods.

Probably the better method, no bank is worth going through all that hassle.

Do you use Magisk? I assume you have done the following already?

  • Enable Zygisk & the DenyList
  • (If Google apps are installed, deny all Google apps root access)
  • Deny the app in question root access
  • Install PlayIntegrityFix on newer devices OR SafetyNetFix on older devices (don't install both)
  • Reboot, force stop app and clear storage/cache
  • (Check if it works with this and this)

That should do it for all apps that do not require strong integrity.

banking app already don’t let you root or otherwise flash your device so I have given up hope in trying with them

You can get around that pretty easily by fooling SafetyNet / Play Integrity and hiding root from those apps. My phones have all been rooted for years and I never had issues with banking apps. I don't even run any google services anymore and the apps I use are fine with that.
