    you are still open to DMCA claims, if you play copywrited music on stream.

    but bitcoin is, unless its bought with cash or gift cards.
  3. apm
    no its not? you can easily trace where your BTC are coming from and going.

    sounds like a parody to me and thats completely legal.

    its all valves fault. steamOS wasnt ready yet, valve is always hands off and they cant compete with consoles or even self build pcs. they tried to make a console using normal consumer hardware, which is just too expensive. http://store.steampowered.com/steamos/download/

    short reminder that you can still get a full refund for any purchase you made in paragon, founder packs and ingame currency.

    its actually 3,5 per sub for him and most other big streamers and he made ~30k in cheers this month so far. i dont get why ninja is so popular. hes kinda the pewdiepie of twitch.

    a guy who was even hired by the company in question.

    some more info on the company behind this: https://www.nytimes.com/reuters/2018/03/12/business/12reuters-prosieben-media-accounts.html https://www.moneyweb.co.za/in-depth/investigations/viceroy-unmasked/ it could be a front for other investors to publish such documents and shortsell their stocks. the videos they put out look greensceened with stock pictures. the exploits might be real but not usable in the wild, if an attacker has admin access and can just flash the bios you have a lot of bigger problems than these exploits. a whitepaper without any technical details is not meant to protect the public, but to influence stockholders. these exploits are theoretical, as far as i understand it you cant just mod a bios and flash ryzen motherboards with it.

    while its not required to give the companies time to fix the bugs, it is kind of an industry standard and best practice, if the "researcher" doesnt have malicious intend. there are a ton of companies with a bad history of dealing with those bugs and the people who reported them. whos that? it does look like a troll and scam to me tho, look at the FAQ of the site and how badly those videos were made. https://twitter.com/GossiTheDog/status/973592498470866948

    24h timeframe to fix it sounds more like blackmail to me. there are 2 ways to make bugs/exploits public, full disclosure and responsible disclosure. they chose the first one. 24h isnt even enough for a small software company to fix one exploitable bug, but here we have 13 for a company as big as amd to fix.

    that has been going on for years tho. twitch always had a double standard. bigger streamers doxxed a racist tipper, got a 48h ban, russian streamer streams movies, nothing happens. unpopular bigger streamer won the recent pubg streamer tournament and as soon as it was clear that he won twitches and pubg's twitter stops mentioning the tournament at all. they pretty much live tweeted it before that. some gaming news site reported that streamer 1 had the most viewers ever for an individual streamer, twitch contacted the site to alter the article to say streamer 2. streamer 2 actually had 10k less peak viewers than streamer 1, but he wasnt very liked by twitch cuz how he runs and act on his stream.

    how are they even blocked? incompetent people block on DNS-level, so you just need to switch to any old DNS out there, like opendns or google dns. this couldnt happen with net neutrality.

    i dont think such a blacklist exists. they are already dying, making fools of themselves and dont want to cover the latest AAA games?
  15. apm
    EA is about the same and they dont even make that many games anymore. last year it was just their yearly releases, im counting battlefield/battlefront too and a new need for speed with the same progression system as battlefront 2.
