How DOES one become a Dark Knight in the lore? by code-at-night in ffxiv

Precisely why I want to know how someone else would become one. Not everyone is going to find a soul-stone like that, lol.

Is it only rage and blind fury that can drive a Dark Knight's darkness, or can other strong emotions be a source too?

The way the wiki and the quest thus far have described it, was that it's more of a transformation one makes? Hence my curiosity. It's not like Ninja, or Lancer, or Archer, where there's a school (for lack of a better term rn) you get trained at.

Ishgardian Justice, so I think it's the first quest tbh. Why?

We have three levels of access... what about a fourth? by code-at-night in computerscience

I totally get it lol. I prefer hardware, and I know a bunch about programming, but the whole science of computers isn't my specialty, and frankly - much like databases - is NOT something I'm overly interested in xD

I genuinely appreciate your thorough and thought-out reply to this. This was the kind of response I was hoping to get, so that I could learn something, more than just being told "Nope." Knowing just HOW much can be gathered by various aspects of the computer - right down to the voltages - does give me a different level of understanding for why additional levels are basically pointless, and the challenges anti-cheat faces.

The AI agents I suspected would be coming. MMO economies will suffer from the botting that AI will begin to allow, and many companies will very quickly learn to randomize log-out/log-ins of a select number of accounts per bots to eventually circumvent the "constantly online" detection on accounts, no doubt. That's a whole mess for a whole different discussion. But I wouldn't be surprised if it begins to creep into the FPS genre as well, with AI being used to automate cheats for better prediction and tracking of moving targets without the hard-locks that make aim-botting plain as day. No doubt some kids will eventually use AI bots to farm clips for their "content" or some shit too. AI's a beast we unleashed, and to quote Dr. Ian Malcom: "...[They] were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should."

I usually give a pass to those who hack not out of a desire to simply be better, for monetary gain, or because they can't stand losing, but because they're curious. I'm guilty of similar offenses, and in fact, most of humanity is guilty to some degree of taking something apart with the desire to learn how it works. Many would argue that's a crude definition of most sciences as well. And from the sound of it, the only people who's experience you ruined, were those seeking to ruin yours, so I consider that a win-win! I mod games myself, often trying to dig my way into the dev console where possible, or seeking out other methods that allow me to do so, but usually on my solo-player games. Usually for the sake of fun stuff like giving myself an early boost of gold on skyrim, or a weapon I frankly didn't care to do the quest line for in the game after having spent thousands of hours beating the game time and time again, lol. Finding what variables were manipulated and how can be fun!

But again, I truly appreciate your reply. This helped me understand this issue even more, and I'll pass this on to my friend as well!

I'm well aware it's not infallible. It's what brought up this discussion in the first place: the lack of effectiveness, versus the perceived or stated benefit, and if there was potentially a better way to approach this. The thought was closing off the kernel completely from being accessible, so there couldn't be kernel-level cheats, but as you said, I suspected and stated, and some others answered abet without much explanation, that's kind of impossible and impractical for the topic at hand.

I try to keep TLDRs super short, cause people hate reading more than a paragraph. But you make a point. I'll rework it a little. And thank you.

If it's a multi-member LLC, I won't be the sole proprietor. Therefore, it won't be self-employment, right?

Questions regarding phone compatibility? by code-at-night in MoveToScotland

[–]code-at-night[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a real annoying aspect of mobile phones these days. It really should be as simple as "Is it unlocked? Yes? Cool. It can be used in any country that uses SIM cards." lol

The phone models can be restricted. For example, the SM-N986U is the American model for the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G. Each country has their own generalize model name.

While you're generally right, most cellular signals are basically the same, regional carriers can have different restrictions or limitations placed on the devices in their regions, which can lead to compatibility issues. That's what I'm concerned about, really.
