Looks like anti-cheats are starting the use the TPM as a means of hardware id, which is really hard to spoof! Interesting to think about possible bypasses

Apparently this is a known issue in the speed reading community! Once you get to a certain speed you have to train yourself to not read out loud in your head to go faster. So hypothesis confirmed i guess!
Alternative explanation for the Yuzu thing, that makes the meat of it more about Piracy then emulation: https://lobste.rs/s/cnh6uz/nintendo_switch_emulator_yuzu_is_dead#c_i2bazg
Personal opinion, but as i see it Yuzu are either
1. Cowards who didn't want to risk actually fighting for legal recognition
or
2. Genuinely didn't have enough money to fight (but made 30k a month on patreon?)
AFAIK there was nothing obviously illegal to force a settlement.
Given this recent post i'm leaning towards option 1.
With the death of Yuzu, https://ryujinx.org is the recommended replacement. Hopefully they are actually knowledgeable in legal matters.
Mind you this is also after i attempted to install debian 12 for FOUR DAYS and only managed after following a guide (https://blog.scheib.me/2023/08/28/debootstrapping-debian-bookworm.html) step by step and fixing a bug in it.
I'm going to post to this tag every time i get reminded why i hate linux. Maybe eventually i'll be able to explain this to people without sounding crazy #fucklinux
Also speaking of anti-cheat, the new siege tech of "rebuild and randomize the obfuscation every few HOURS" is pretty impressive.

lmaooo, who needs to do fancy EAC bypasses. Just ask them to whitelist your (intentionally) vulnerable driver!
