I have this in my “East Germany” collection along with Good Bye Lenin! and Deutschland 83. Could probably use a few more entries.

I’d imagine a lot more empirical evidence has been generated one way or the other in the intervening two years

The ringing in my ears has always sounded like the high-voltage flyback inside old CRT tvs/monitors. Maybe I spent too long around them.

Do brains also have an "organ rejection" mechanism, could it consider the implant a foreign object and try to evict it?

IANAD but I’d imagine with all the knee/hip/everything replacements, metal plates in heads, pins in wrists, pacemaker implants etc that it’s a manageable issue.

There's luck involved, but if you listen or read some of Marc Andreesen's ideas there's no doubt he's highly intelligent and thoughtful. Ben Horowitz even said he was the smartest person he'd ever met in his book. While he was obviously working on the right thing at the right time, his fortune is not what I would consider blind luck.

None of the “soft benefits” are even close justification for basically owning people’s lives. With one day of and 9-9 schedule, what is even the point of living? No time for hobbies, family or anything remotely enjoyable in life.

The so-called "rumors" that Denuvo kills performance are not rumors. It's just not true ANYMORE. Older versions impacted performance heavily, but later on the performance impact became negligible.
xref · 2 years ago
From reading upthread it sounds like performance impact is heavily dependent on the skill of the game development team, ie: if they pick the wrong things to hook during the in-game runtime checks performance can suffer greatly

Damn government, making things better for everyday people. How can honest corporations abuse their captive audiences when the government keeps restricting their abilities?

We need less/more/same regulation, whichever one satisfies my desires at any given moment!
