I was obsessing over these back in the day but it was at the upper end of what I could possibly manage to wangle as a Christmas and Birthday present combined… Then I discovered that a refurbished, like new, PsP 1000 phat could be had for less than half the price that these were retailing for and not only was the modding / emulating scene more active and better supported but it also opened an entire new library of native PsP games.

I don’t regret my choice in the slightest. Although I still think these are really cool.

Took me a while to work out what I was looking at. It’s an American style hotdog wrapped in a paper towel placed into the drop down sun glasses of a car / van. Although it must be a pretty small hotdog to fit in such a space, shrinkflation at its finest

People are joking about this but I have a toilet where the large button is for a half flush. Pressing the small button depresses both buttons performing a regular flush. I have never found another toilet like this, thank the stars!

To be fair I was under the assumption that he wasn’t intending to capitalize on this situation at all, he did surrender the firearm used and requested it to be destroyed after the proceedings concluded so that it wouldn’t be sold-off and used as some sort of political symbol… It saddens me to learn that he is using such a tragedy to push any form of message other than a anti-firearm cautionary tale.

For anyone interested the full trail is still available online and is a very interesting watch for anyone even remotely interested in the US justice system. I do feel a lot of the commenters above may feel differently after watching the entire trial and viewing the evidence presented first-hand rather than skewed through the lenses of journalists from either side of the political compass.

I’m no stranger to false positives, especially when virus scanners are all too keen to label things as “hacktools” and class them as malicious. However there is apparently no need for an online fix at the moment as there is no real authentication to play online so I just can’t understand why there are so many calls to specific IP addresses that aren’t in the legitimate version. (As there are currently no need to run pirated servers)

Also it’s the first time I’ve see so many sigma flags in the sandbox tests. When I see “Critical: Ransomware” I get spooked. (As I’ve never seen this level of warning before. Nothing above a medium, infact)

Ive done quite a bit of googling but haven’t been able to find much to dissuade my fears with sandbox flags like these… What’s more cracks from different users all have differing detection flags and call different IP addresses…

TL;DR: I’m out of my depth with this one.

Usually I have no issues with the above site but when looking for the latest patch this is the result of a virus total scan from a very prominent known-user: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/0a661adf06c2bef40749e9eba17ffccef0eb0e76321a5a21ec11ca60c34fb0dc/behavior

Gonna have to reassess my views regarding the safety of this site…
