What doesn't fit here?
The core of the story has to be technology focused.
- If article mentions "AI" in a sentence and then talks about business economics that doesn't make it tech news.
- Gaming is too many layers removed from technology. There are many dedicated communities that are a better fit for it.
- Transporation is too many layers removed from technology. EVs while use many cool technologies have many dedicated communities that are a better fit for it.
- Entertainment is too many layers removed from technology. While sometimes it can fit here, business or cultural aspects of it are a better fit for dedicated communities.
- Cybersecurity. While it heavily focuses on technology, most of the time it's too technical for most people who are not already invested in it. Should be posted in a dedicated communities unless it has broader connection to other tech areas.
Post guidelines
Title format
Post title should mirror the news source title. If you don't like the title of article, look for an alternative source instead of editorializing it.
URL format
Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefix
Opinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn't explictly endorse.
Country prefix
Country prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) if the news is from a local publisher who doesn't clearly mention the country.
Rules
1. English only
Title and associated content has to be in English.
2. Use original link
Post URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
3. Respectful communication
All communication has to be respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences.
4. Inclusivity
Everyone is welcome here regardless of age, body size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race, caste, color, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.

DRM to prevent copying games without official license has always been a waste of money. It is always just a matter of time until even the hardest DRM measure is broken. Always has been like this. I remember when Ubisoft was very proud of their new fancy DRM shitware that prevented running unlicensed copies of some Assassin's Creed title, only for it to be cracked a month later and the crackers saying "thanks for this interesting challenge".
Sure, it's always been a question of time, but Denuvo has been very effective for decades. There were very few people who were able or willing to crack Denuvo games before. Publishers really only cared about the initial release anyway, and after a few months, it wasn't worth paying for it anymore so they'd remove it from their games.
Not only has that always been the case, but that's the only possibility: DRM, on a fundamental level, is just encryption where Bob and Eve are the same person.
(For the uninitiated, the basic problem statement for cryptography is that Alice wants to send a message to Bob without Eve knowing what it says.)
