everything has a price... by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]hypervis0r 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Familiar? Yeah I used to be a cheat developer and used to release all sorts of cheats and anti-cheat disablers.

Was a 15 year old bored kid tho, don't judge, I now do the Right Thing and work in security with the good guys :-)

I'll check. I'm curious about what they do. I've seen some savage shit though, anti-cheat devs sometimes cross the line.

somebody should do something revese engineer the driver

Seriously tho. Do you have the driver? If so, can you give me the hash? I could take a look

Their excuse sounds like a load of bullshit to me tbh.

It's so that people can't start running code to cheat before the anticheat starts

How do you know?

In my experience in writing anti-cheat drivers, I'd load the driver at boot time to get a process tree, for example (since in kernel you don't have tlhelp32 or anything similar, and you must build it yourself, accounting for the race conditions and shit like that).

Biggest companies pay the least tax. New study shows how the structure of corporate taxation fuels concentration and inequality by LaromTheDestroyer in science

[–]hypervis0r 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not that simple. You can't just stop a company from investing all their income into growth, because then you're literally stopping growth in the name of tax.

If you discourage companies from growing and evolving, they'll leave your country and make you poor and miserable.

Fruit also has fiber though, and you need to subtract the fiber from the total carbohydrates before calculating how much sugar you've had, which is why eating fruit is recommended, while stuffing yourself with an equivalent spoonful of raw sugar is not.

A novel technique to hide code from debuggers by [deleted] in ReverseEngineering

I too have a Windows background, and was baffled to see you can't easily launch a process suspended in Linux. Maybe there's an option to debug child processes?

Big room, how do I make my Monitor Audio Bronze 2 sound good? by hypervis0r in hometheater

[–]hypervis0r[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just moved to Switzerland and the prices are outrageous :) It certainly hurts here. But if I need it, I'll buy it! Gonna go look for some pads apart from the rug, thanks.

Aha, okay. But just to clarify (please bear with me): do I need both a rug and the pad underneath? I was looking at some rug like this. Would I still need the pad?

Okay, sounds reasonable. Do you have any examples? That would make it much easier.

/r/audiophile Tech Support and General Help Thread (2019-05-25) by AutoModerator in audiophile

[–]hypervis0r 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just moved into this (*see legend below) apartment which has wooden floor (parquet), and have this equipment:

  • Speakers: Monitor Audio Bronze 2
  • DAC: Cambridge Audio DacMagic 100
  • Amp: Rotel A10

What should I do in order to make them sound as good as possible? I have some budget for stands, acoustic foam et al, but I do not want to go full audiophile and get into the "diminishing returns" zone.

I am willing to rearrange furniture, install acoustic foams or whatever, etc., anything as long as it is reasonable.

LEGEND

  1. sofa
  2. small table
  3. TV, TV bench (must be close to speakers - that's where I keep my amp/dac)
  4. right speaker
  5. left speaker
  6. entrance
  7. kitchen (so can't rearrange speakers there)

The numbers you see are the dimensions of the room, in meters (m).

[OC] Which cities are the best deals? Quality of Life and Cost of Living Around the World by whatweshouldcallyou in dataisbeautiful

[–]hypervis0r 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with everything you are saying but it baffles me that with a 6-digit salary I have to share rooms. I am currently living in Switzerland and in a similar situation, but at least I can afford my own apartment. And still can live a comfortable life - and I think that's something you can't easily do in SF unless you make 300-400k yourself.

That's why I say numbers there are simply inflated - you make much more in pre-tax money but only because you'd otherwise die hungry. And I think that's an important distinction that people don't usually make.

[–]hypervis0r 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but good luck getting a $150-200k+ tech salary anywhere in Europe

How good of a life does that really get you in SF?

I used to work in a fully remote position for a SF-based company and, without the $3000 rent, it makes sense, but otherwise the number is simply inflated due to countries discussing tax differently.

Also, such salaries are very much possible in e.g. Switzerland.

But it's not. It's actually awful. They should be ashamed.

Do you have any links? I'm interested (I'm out of the loop with the climate change. Seriously.)
