That won't cause bad sectors though, that just means the data you were writing was bad.

Err, what you describe is a remake, the new coat of paint over the same old game is a remaster.

Turns out you can make more money by reducing usability and user choice in an entrenched product because hardly anyone will baulk and jump ship to a different product.

I think the point is that "not having ads" shouldn't be allowed to become the premium experience when it used to be the standard experience.

I'm wary of the argument for any practice continuing being just because it's always happened and is "tradition". Similarly though I'm wary of the argument that a valid practice should cease just because it makes a few people uncomfortable. If the only thing going for the Lena image is "tradition" then there really is no argument for keeping it.

Does the relationship invoke supernatural forces driving the phenomena? Then it's superstitious nonsense and has nothing to do with abrahamic religions other then them also invoking superstitious nonsense. Does someone own the land and want to keep people out for idiosyncratic reasons? Fine, rule of law says they get to control the land for whatever reasons they want. Is it public land? Then only safety concerns or preventing the degradation of a natural wonder should affect who can visit and for what purpose.

Glad it's the court of human rights as the UK is still nominally a part of that if I recall correctly so hopefully derails UK governments attempts as well.

Always nice to see new open source emulation projects on the scene. GBA seems a popular target though, something particular about it?

Didn't expect him to be reigning monarch for long given his already advanced age and the fact males tend to live shorter lives, wonder if this will cut it even shorter?

How is it going to be a privacy and security nightmare to be able to install what I want on hardware I own? If you don't want to take a risk and install things from other app stores or side load you don't have to.

By removing the feature from the remote and moving it to an app they turn a cost of a more complex remote into a profit of constant subscription money.

Yeah people really need to stop having fun in ways I disapprove of, totally with you on that.
