> Factory reset upgrade prevents a reset by a thief. For some criminals, the goal is to quickly reset your stolen device and resell it. We’re making it more difficult to do that with an upgrade to Android’s factory reset protection. With this upgrade, if a thief forces a reset of the stolen device, they’re not able to set it up again without knowing your device or Google account credentials. This renders a stolen device unsellable, reducing incentives for phone theft.
A few years ago a non-technical friend factory reset their phone only to realize they hadn't actually logged into their Google account in years and didn't remember the password. They didn't have any spare phones to use and didn't want to go without one while they were recovering their account. It took me about five minutes to find a prepackaged exploit on Google and bypass the FRP. This wasn't some obscure model from a budget manufacturer either, it was a flagship Samsung (iirc) that was still receiving updates.
You're right it's more than 6. The 190 figure probably comes from the number of "countries" that were restricted from purchasing the game after (and only after) the PSN account linking was announced. Steam defines a lot of territories and unrecognized regions as "countries". Supported PSN countries are listed here https://www.playstation.com/country-selector/index.html
E: Actually some of the countries in the selector aren't supported for PSN either (at least PH), so I'm no longer sure if there is an offical list of supported PSN countries anywhere.
> Arrowhead allowed their game to be sold in countries where you will not be able to play.
This is the thing that I'm not sure of and that I think the question of whether to blame Arrowhead depends on. Who authorized selling it in non PSN countries in the first place? Is that Arrowhead's responsibility as a studio, or Sony's responsibility as a publisher?
Considering you can find locations to buy the physical game on Playstation's official website, even in unsupported countries, I'm leaning towards the latter
I'm not sure about the actual hardware, but physical copies of helldivers 2 are on sale in the Philippines, where you can't make a PSN account. You can find them on Playstation's website which makes me think they are authorized copies https://www.playstation.com/en-ph/games/helldivers-2/
> After rounding up the employees, he would direct them to grab their jackets before herding them into the walk-in freezer. Once they were locked inside, he raided the store, then called police to alert them to the frigid workers.
Aren't freezers designed to be very easy to get out of from the inside? Is there something I'm missing about confining people in a freezer? Maybe it blocks cell reception or he's blocking the doors
As OrigamiPastrami notes there are real accidental deaths in specific freezers.
That said most freezers by law have an internal quick release that should work even if there's a padlock through the secure holes on the outside latch.
It's probable he has barricaded the door with something heavy and told the people inside that the first one out the door will be shot dead.
Quora suggested jamming the extraction fans to stop the freezer working and potentially triggering a service alarm should the quick release not work:
That is an interesting discussion. I'd go for a small door (opaque)/large window (transparent) that one can from the inside. A large triple glazed window ON the door (a smaller door ON a bigger door), a red/yellow light switch, a elevator-like ring/bell, a walkie-talkie permanently installed inside, a staff-count every 30mins. And then I am thinking that after 2-3 weeks all the people-dependent solutions would be abandoned...
Between nocom and this I'm sure at least a dozen people who had no idea about reverse engineering are going to eventually have a career in it thanks to his videos, even if I find them incredibly cheesy. His videos have a habit of reaching and engrossing all sorts of people who otherwise wouldn't really care about minecraft server exploits, and maybe that will inspire some of them to learn more
Historically, this has been hydro from surrounding states (like Washington, but also from Canadian BC). I'm not sure what it is today given current water challenges.

If you look at the connection map, https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Map-of-United-States-sho..., I guess the high capacity DC line that serves vegas could be siphoning some Utah power into socal, but there is much more capacity in the connectivity from Oregon and Washington.
Reading more, there are two high voltage DC lines into SoCal: one from a coal plant in Delta Utah (2.4 Gw, not just from that plant, but let’s say majority coal), the other from a hydro conversion station on the Columbia in Oregon/washington (3.1 Gw). Looking at the map above it looked like the latter one terminated in Las Vegas but I guess it actually goes into SoCal.
While the sentiments might be popular, I think this is fake. There are only a few trillion dollar companies, and none of them are offering 250k entry level SWE (highest I see is 180, but I haven't checked thorougly)
E: This comment was made under the false assumption that the original poster was entry level. Since it's implied they aren't, it could be very real.
Nowhere in the post or commments does he say he’s entry level — maybe I missed it. It’s also not his first job.
I will also add that there are tech companies that offer total comp of $250k+ for entry level positions. Are your figures just salary or are they total comp?
I don't get it. I'm only starting my career but most of the tenured/senior developers I know spend too much time in meetings to write that much boilerplate
The problem is that you only get out of GPT what you ask of it. For example, it’s likely that more senior developers would write abstractions because they can simplify unit testing. Others might have dived into writing TypeScript types, e.g. meta-programming or generics.
The output ChatGPT actually gave is interesting but not inspiring or relevant. They didn’t even uselessly add Winston for logging. It’s like when you ask GPT for images of “more, even more, work harder, etc.” - you sorta get more of the same, not something new or innovative. You have to ask for what you want, it’s not that creative and doesn’t really understand yet.
Don’t worry, they’ll hit you on the code reviews and ask you to refactor your working to-the-point code into some sort of factory-like nonsense soon enough.
Has this not been the case in the past?
