  • No, there are no fees at all. Authentic just means approved device state, which will be defined by the website you go to I believe. So youtube might required many different things in order to be “authentic” like no ad blockers, genuine browser, non-rooted phone, etc., whereas bank-xyz may just check for one thing, like a genuine browser. Also, websites have to enable this on their side, so its not going to be used by default on all websites. The whole thing is crap though, even if only a few websites enable this, it could have huge impacts.


  • Really? According to this site they claim that “The Cyber Resilience Act should only apply to free open-source software that is developed or supplied in the course of commercial activity.” While that could be a broad scope, I don’t think it applies to most FOSS. Linux is really the big thing I see it applying to and Linux is very Cyber secure, so I don’t really see issues there.

    Are there other parts of the law that ban FOSS? Or is that site too pro EU and glosses over the bad parts?





  • Well, Warcraft 3 Reforged isn’t actually as bad as I thought it would be. I thought it was going to be this awful crap experience, but I really haven’t seen that (okay yes, it has crashed on me once). I picked it up a few days ago and it’s been one helluva nostalgic power run. XD I think they actually did a fairly good job of just upgrading the graphics but still keep the style the same, even though I wasn’t a huge fan of the overly comic styling of War3. I haven’t done custom maps nor campaigns yet, I know people complained about the campaigns not working. I really only played the Founding of Durotar when I was young.

    IDK, it really isn’t as bad as I thought. I heard that a new-ish team is running now, so maybe it will get better. I would like to get a custom game browser built into the game, similar to what Star craft 2 does.

    It’s been fun double timing War3 and D4 the last few days. :)
