I have no idea where this is from, but it’s giving me real Persona 5 vibes…

Late response, sorry - but I don’t see why not? I mean… this is part of the standard plug-in module system available in most malware creation tool-kits, so it should be assumed that USB drives of unknown provenance will either 1) contain malware as part of the USB auto-run (Now not used very often, but can infect older computers), or 2) part of the USB firmware just as standard operating procedure.

I’ve got the Feb 1980 (5th printing) edition of Basic Computer Games - Microcomputer Edition sat on the shelf next to me… looking forward to comparing the dialect differences :)

Don’t do this - plugging in an infected drive can infect the secondary computer; you may wish to plug it into a linux or other hardened system to get the data however. The post by @silverdiamond is a better response.

LOL! Blast from the past… Dead n00bs scattered everywhere.

And this is how you handle responsible disclosure… 34 minutes for simply an e-mail list, no login details or private information.

There are places where it’s used well. The Matrix, for example. Someone elseThread said Max Max: Fury Road, and I agree on that. Those are… at the moment… the only two that aren’t abominations of decolouring, though.

Caring for others is good for you. Even if you look at it shelfishly, it is still true.

Had to.

I’ve never free-swam, but when I was a kid (up to early teens, maybe 14?) I had swimming lessons. I was always told the lessons of the waterways, which I vaguely remember now, but one of them was kick off your shoes because they will kill you. We had to recite those back at the start and end of the lessons, what to do if you fell in. Kick off your shoes because they will kill you.

Only lesson I remember, funnily enough.

They’ve explicitly acknowledge the overpromise in the part of NMS (And, thanks to the continuous, rolling, free and global updates to NMS, have more than delivered on everything they promised and then a load more that they didn’t promise, including next-generation graphical updates, and entire new procedural generation systems that have added even more to the environment).

They’ve gone above and beyond to deliver, I’d even hazard a guess that they’ve over-delivered as far as any bureaucratic or financial director is concerned. They’re working full-time on NMS nearly 10 years on from release! They’ve done enough to warrant a modicum of trust.

I’m not pre-ordering, but I’ll be watching with interest, and will likely buy on day-one.
