    It would seem to me that the money spent paying their lawyers might have been better spent building anti cheat methods. Or better had been spent doing it from the start in the first place...

    I run Windows and with it PowerPro http://powerpro.cresadu.com/ it's always been like that.

    I've played a lot of games in my time, and run their cheat protections. Epic games (Fortnite) is the only one to block PowerPro, makes a lot of sense to me.

  3. I play Fortnite on Free Game Company Sues 14-Year-Old Over 'Cheats' Video -- Claiming DMCA Violation (bbc.co.uk) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I like Fortnite, it's very much like PUBG. I don't like cheaters. If this causes concern for others so be it, maybe they will stop.

    That said I've not seen any cheats/cheating in Fortnite. I shoot someone and they kill me - I'm able to see the damage I inflicted as I become a spectator at that point. And always satisfied it being a good kill.

  4. I hear ya. Company switched from Sophos to Cylance this year. A program one of the units has used for years suddenly won't work after install. I find out the folder is empty except for a few readme files. I monitor the folder as I'm installing and watch as the files appear and disappear. Cyber security claims Cylance isn't doing it but nothing else has changed. Six months and I still can't install the program and they refuse to help me troubleshoot.

    This can also be a driver feature of Windows 10, Try this: Run: bcdedit /set TESTSIGNING ON > reboot > install program > see if it works

    Test mode will be shown bottom right,

    Disable Testmode
    Run: bcdedit /set TESTSIGNING OFF > reboot > and the program will be gone, but you will know for sure.

  7. Google's next new feature will be to require users to raise their hand and ask permission before typing a URL in the address bar. If you aren't clicking a link in a Google search result page you're just asking for trouble!

    I'd rather it ask permission than not allow a download. Comodo firewall deleted a keygenerator I use. Not put it in a safe place or recycle bin but removed it, without a word.

    Age of consent is irrelevant. There are plenty of jurisdictions where it is legal for a person to have sex, but illegal for the same person to take a nude selfie.

    Now with Linux Mint I can go to that programs directory, right click on the executable, and run with wine. It works very well for me.

    Another thought is too far out to suggest, but not to mention :) I have two grandkids. When the need to pacify them arrises, I pull out my cell phone that I've previously transfered cartoons to. It works very well for me, BooBa and Oddbods my buddies (sound not required).
