  • there’s still plenty of ways to make stuff autorun in a similar way. the thing that makes proper badUSBs so scary is that they’re recognized by the system as a keyboard.

    it’s somewhat difficult to discern bad actors from regular users for this kind of attack, but it also hasn’t become prolific enough for anyone to bother. at a certain point it’s more the fault of building security for allowing some randy to access to sensitive hardware.





  • depends HEAVILY on the eye. some folks are really good at eyeballing shit. usually this goes hand in hand with other “visual calculus” skills like telling whether two things are the same size or determining angles at a glance.

    reckon it’s just spatial reasoning + visualization + practice. i had an uncle who could look at a mechanical system and tell you exactly where all the wear would occur. i always thought it was some kind of savant trick until i started working on similar stuff.

    the brain is just another muscle, you can train it to so all sorts of really amazing things!











  • your definition of “runs like shit” could mean anything. i personally consider anything lower than like 40fps to be terrible, but i also know steam deck owners who cap it at 30 and have no problems whatsoever.

    if a game runs with no slowdown at a solid fps rate that people do specifically target for this system, obviously it’s not gonna be my cup of tea @30 but i can’t say it doesn’t work.

    also “unverified” literally just means “we don’t have enough/any reports”. i have no earthly idea why the existence of working-unverified games could be a bad thing.

    anytime a stellar product is released there’s a glut of shittier alternatives and replacements, sometimes from the same company even. higher ups notice REAL QUICK when they shorten their average upgrade cycle from 1-3 years to something like 5-10.

    shit always loops back around to planned obsolescence. if you don’t do it, you will not succeed.
