Even the Switch is pretty standard phone hardware

There are PS2 that had this function removed?

Or using the old hardware like the PlayStation 3 BC for instance, they literally had the PS2 hardware in the PS3 to handle BC.

And the PS2 likewise literally had PS1 hardware to handle BC.

Oh yeah, forgot about that…

To the country that elected Trump he actually might be.

Yep. They even made a new 3310.

Uh, they DO still make dumb phones. And people still buy them.

Minetest. The game is way more open and customisable, and you can add in whatever rulesets you like.

And how do they make their money?

Because hosting shit yourself isn’t free, and most people aren’t up for taking financial losses for their projects.

I know right?! I thought it would be a favourite!

and the government would have to explain precisely why they decided to ban all Google services over a song about freedom.

They wouldn’t explain shit. This is an authoritarian government we’re talking about; they have near total control of what information gets to their populace.

More likely they’d just accuse Google of supporting terrorism, and make a show of raiding their offices and jailing their local executives.

I don’t think the people in charge would last long if that happened, considering how integral Google’s services are to many people’s lives.

This is China we’re talking about. Chinese equivalents to nearly every big tech service are more than present and accounted for, even often preferred by the local populace. Hong Kong is a little different, but the CCP still exerts near total control there.

It is literally either follow this law or cease operations here. Both would end in the song being blocked anyway.

Mind you, I wish we were that level of strict when it came to our data privacy laws.

Until they make the wrong call and it bites them on the ass.

Yeah but they’re called talent for a reason. The senior talent are generally better than the juniors at what they do.

Indeed. I’d say the on-site guys really need training. Beyond working directly on the master image and writing to it or reporting false findings, there isn’t as much that can be irrevocably fucked up in the analytics room.

Acquisition is a whole different story. One seemingly small fuck up and the evidence is toast.

That’s unusually really cool of them! Mad props!

On-scene stuff is a bit different. You’re not doing the actual analytics on scene if you can help it, you’re obtaining the evidence. Of course that still needs specialist training, you can’t simply copy and paste shit, but it’s very different to what goes on in the forensic lab.

They aren’t given to patrolmen. They have dedicated and specially trained units. Otherwise the evidence can be nullified.

Some PDs do have their own digital forensics units. It isn’t a task handed to patrolmen
