There were quite a few news articles back then. Not to mention Denuvo probably pressured to have them removed, what do you expect an event happened in 2017 to have articles survived, when this event is not something you can find in mainstream media?

If you really want to verify, the best bet I can think of, is to ask people in r/crackwatch or cs.rin.ru.

Maybe slightly off-topic, I just want to remind that Denuvo used pirated (personal licence) VMProtect in their commercial product.

True, and that’s exactly why I said parallelism.

Concurrency without parallelism is just like Python/JS, a single thread drives all the coroutines, and it’s the easier one, as the runtime doesn’t really need to lock.

GO on the other hand has parallelism. It maps goroutines to a thread pool, which requires locking, making things more complicated.

This is also why Rust has two types of reference counting, Rc and Arc.

This AI slop is so baffling.

GO uses a garbage collector because it has to: removing this GC fundamentally complicates parallelism. If it’s manual management, then who owns the data? Of course there are ways to work around, but none of them are free; in fact those can be even more expensive.

Assuming it enforces single ownership, then the allocator is responsible for freeing resources. How can it know the resource can be freed, if the resource is processed in another thread? Inter-thread communication? The complexity will be insane. Pass ownership? There’s no move semantic in GO. Reference counting? No such a thing in GO either.

I even have a feeling that those 1.1k stars are fake.

The problem is, some developers/publishers simply never remove Denuvo.

Some examples I can think of, Ubi seems to never remove Denuvo, SEGA has Denuvo removed for some (probably due to the Denuvo offer at that time), but most are not removed.

I guess some are simply too notorious to really get a sales boost. I really want to buy those Ubi games on 95% off. UPlay required? Bye.

Now why would I say this is a backdoor ? The component that is responsible for this bug is not present anywhere (even in the internet) except inside WinRE image and what makes it raise suspicions is the fact that the exact same component is also present with the exact same name in a normal windows installation but without the functionalities that trigger the bitlocker bypass issue. Why ? I just can’t come up with an explanation beside the fact that this was intentional.

In my opinion, the whole article is (AI) slop. It says “AirSnitch” but is actually describing “ARP spoofing”.

Encryption (especially TLS) assumes the underlying transport is insecure. It’s called Transport Layer Security, a secure transport made possible by utilising encryption. It already had considered MitM by design.

I wonder if this change affects Lemmy clients? I use Voyager and it currently works fine.

MAKE ARGENTINA GREAT AGAIN!!! 😄😄😄

I’m not saying this site is malicious, but I have a feeling that, once this becomes viral and people believe these (existing) links are actually safe, this site may go rogue.

Not sure if relevant. In Mandarin, “1314” sounds like “一生一世” which means “lifetime”.

This clickbait article is so stupid. What’s the point mentioning amd64 cpu manufacturers while the protagonist uses MIPS?

While some of the claims may be valid, this article is full of propaganda.

How can Telegram distribute messages in channels with more than tens of thousands users with P2P encryption? If there’s 10k users, should Telegram store the same plain message 10k times simply because there’s 10k public keys? If the sender encrypts and signs the message with 10k public keys, can the sender handle such a resource-hungry task? How can newly joined users decrypt old messages?

Of course there’s fishy things, but the unprofessionalism severely drags down the value of this article.
