Hacking Arch Linux to be Released soon ...Shots Fired against ReSwitched & F0F

[Pickle_Rick]

Yeah, M$ never seem to care much 4 that. But if it was wind10 it would be shut downs very fast...

They don't care because you can't distribute something made with leaked code. Nobody did anything with the 2000 source. ReactOS can't even look at it.

 

[guily6669]

Well M$ seems to be getting much more friendly that they even give wind10 full 4 free, you don't need to put any serial number and register it, there isn't much drawbacks...

I bet even if XP source code would get leaked it would stay online for a long time, but no idea, not that I care either...

If it was wind10 source would be pretty cool but I bet M$ would only stop until someone would get jailed...

Edit: I would really like having a wind10 modded from safe sources with almost everything that I don't need removed from its internal kernel and other stuff...

Microsoft isn't getting "more friendly", they've shifted their business model to sell - you. Look, many people be using our "platform" many businesses want to have access to our users - here, we sell them to you (have store, have advertising opportunities, sell them your programs and ideas - but give us a 30% cut).

This is called the advertising model, and its the most dehumanizing thing in the world. Yet Facebook, google and Microsoft - have based their business model around it. And people like being sold to the highest bidding individual in groups, because they get the benefit of free. We don't want to pay for goods, how about you sell us to strangers, so we can get tricked to buy other goods, that dont have the popularity - to be called a "plattform", and you skim 30% off of others - we eventually will buy goods from.

Also - this is ruining entire pillars of democracy - like journalism, because it turned out, that if you are watched over and segmented more "in depth", and if people feed you with feels instead of researched stories - you, advertisers and people trying to sell you wares, like that much more - than whatever journalists did in the past (- selling reach, and not you as "grouped individuals" with specific likes, demographics and identities).

Also facebook be saying "We no content providers - we only advertisers - *shrug*, here read your friend feeds, look at those pictures! And all those articles of newspapers that want to reach you!" We no have responsibility. We only might do perceptual psychological experiments with the best scientific minds of our generation running the experiments, to keep you in a constant state of emotion, and optimize "stickiness" by inducing endorphin rushes - but look, heres a picture of your grandson - and have you seen what that SL*T of a neighbor did yesterday? I didn't believe it! Also - that call history with your stepdad - you didn't need that, didn't you? But we did.

And as an added bonus - people learn not to pay for products or services they like - in life (with money), they want to pay for them with data - which is very inefficiant - because this ONLY benefits the biggest data brokers (They have the best profiles!), and not small or medium businesses (Which wouldnt HAVE to sell your data, if they had already gotten your money.).

Got it? Good.

Also if the sourcecode of Windows ever became available the following thing would happen: https://www.theverge.com/2017/6/24/15867350/microsoft-windows-10-source-code-leak Arrests.
A bunch of new zero days - and hacking sprees. (Windows is a mess of legacy architecture that still has to be supported - and was never designed to be secure from the ground up. (The first (?) multi user Windows OS, with the concept of different user permissions was Windows NT))
And commercial clones. With new skins and features. Very exciting. Would buy - for the features. I likes me features, skins, and my facebook feed. I also like free, and...

edit: The big companies like the "platform" model - because they dont have to do anything to make money. As in - they don't have to convince you to buy their thing in a "real" market economy.

As long as they stay relevant - because some time in your teens you started to use them and never bothered to learn anything else - thats all they need. Maybe do a marketing makeover every two years. Raise the version number of your "thing". Tell everyone about the "features". Turns out its much easier to hook you for life if you are a teenager, and the thing you are given is both heavily advertised, and... Free.

Schools really should teach part of this stuff to their peers. Its relevant to their actual experiences at the time.

And if you think that I am exaggerating, there are only a few windows in peoples lives where they are setting life long "consumption/usage patterns". Big companies actively seek those out (Different democraphics have a different price - pregnant women are priced very highly - because they change buying and brand loyalty patterns once more in their lives, at a fairly late stage... ("Netflix and chill" was formed as an advertising strategy around the same model. To speak to people who - for the first time in their lives have disposable income)...). So the thing thats both "(almost) free" and heavily advertised to a 14-16 year old will be with him/her their entire lifes, if it sticks.

Also a large part of Microsofts business always was to sell software licenses to PC vendors. That didnt change. So to them Windows isn't free - but to you as an end consumer it is... Doesnt that make you think?

Arrests.. rarely you see that nintendo world, they just sue you into the ground like sony did to geohot, and nintendo takes mainly action towards 'commercial vendors' of products, whereas microsoft this occurs:

I already read a lot of that stuff, too much info, but still good...

Anyway last thing I bought from M$ without being console related was probably wind XP indirectly as it came on my PC back in 2004, but I still ended up using a pirated XP Pro copy .

Before that was my father's mouse\keyboard and win95 huge amount of disks which I still have.

I still have a pirated wind10 downloaded 4 them but then I patched it, but probably next time I will just leave it with a blank serial number.


However M$ also has or at least had the best console related support ever. People were even stealing from M$ LOL.

One time my Xbox 360 HDD died, I entered in the support and they said to send the HDD to somewhere very far in EU, so I just didn't care 4 it as anyway I was planning to put a 1TB HDD in it instead of the crap 120GB... But on the next day I actually received a mail saying my order was on the way and I was like mehh...

I actually received a brand new HDD without sending the old one. On a forum from PT they were actually lying and even had a kinda tutorial of what to say and were selling Xb360 controllers and HDDs that they got from M$ when they had theirs working.

I never did that, but on the Sony side ppl were paying a lot to repair YLOD even under warranty which is stupid, lots reported that on the same forum.

Yeah, I remember that.

But if someone would leak the info to sign a FW on the Switch I bet it will take even more time in jail...

I'm not against MS because they are "bad".

In fact - few companies are.

Nor are most things in life - at least not categorically so.. Trying to apply the Disney princess principle of "if its good looking and dresses like a barbie it gets the prince > I also want the prince" to describe companies - doesnt work. Its the thing you do to a dog if you say its "cute" and "look how it feels". Also - since last week it has become "bad doggie" ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthropomorphism ).

You arent using Microsoft products anymore - because other companies have eaten their cake. Mainly Apple in the "early disposable income" demographic (I can haz iPhone!), and Google in the 14-16 year old market (60% of the educational market today are Chromebooks - there you get your google login with 14-16 years, for life).

Replace Microsoft with Google, have the same thing.

Dont make Advertising companies your biggest pals in life, if you can avoid it - is mainly the message here. Not that it would change anything - because that information alone isn't changing how you live your life.. Just be a little more aware of things, I guess.

Unless you bought a new computer this year then there is no excuse for using pirated/patched versions of Windows 10. Official Windows 7 Ultimate activated with SLIC, upgraded to Official Windows 10 Pro gave you everything you needed.

Actually I don't care for any company or are fan of any... I care 4 good products with good price.

And If I could I would still use windXP moded... But M$ and the entire world makes you move to wind10 because it's were games are, DX12.......

I only buy parts... Also my old laptop is custom and I chose no OS too...

I never legally owned wind7 either...

And you should not even care buying windows, just download it from M$ store and don't put a serial ever and all will work and update fine...

But I think we already had a long OFFTOPIC now. Better stay more on topic.

 

[recgame77]

You can do (or will be able to do) those things with regular homebrew. No need to erase the Switch OS and put Linux on it. Plus if you did that you wouldn't be able to play games on the plane.

For movies watching regarding all the codecs, format ... , i think it will be easier to have gpu video aceleration through nouveau-vdpau + linux then on Horizon OS directly.

 

[subcon959]

This is a genuine question since I've never owned a tablet, but aren't there other cheaper tablets out there that would make better linux handhelds than the Switch? If not, then I kinda get it.

 

[Dungeonseeker]

Pcsx2 is a x86 program so it wont work on switch

PCSX2 has an ARM port...

It's just the fun of having it on the Switch

TWRP For The Switch! im still waiting on that one.

Yeah there's the Pixel C (also X1) but I already have a Switch and wanted porting experience. It was a good exercise and will be something I can point at for jobs or w/e. Also just curious to bring in an intersection of Linux kernel hackers (think XDA) into Switch stuff as well, it's no fun with just the console kids. Mostly all just for fun and to hopefully demystify things just a bit.

Oh I never though of that, a Switch section at XDA would be pretty awesome.

this would make zero sense

I have a galaxy Tab S for instance but i m always travelling wit a switch or Vita on top. So if linux come in a stable way to switch i could get rid of the tablet.

i never tought about it but an xda section for the nintendo switch would break doors ... can you maybe try to progress it ?

 

[subcon959]

Between us, we might be able to spell that friggin bastard correctly.

 

[normal19]

What are the chances we can see say Debian on Switch?
