Wouldn't that lead to a "Clipper Chip" situation where somone figured out how to isolate the issue? I think the Graphene team already did it.

As someone in a similar boat, Florida. 100%, Florida. Or Arizona.

I've never visited Northern Ireland but I know some good online friends who live there, how's it to visit?

Any good places for a dual citizenship application outside of the US? Asking for a friend.

Hope you are living better wherever you moved to. I'd buy you a drink if I could.

Emulation my beloved

That's in "3d print your own because the market (outside of China) won't manufacture and support such a niche unit" territory.

(Or the "just use your damn phone" which would probably be said by some tone deaf ppl)

Silly :3

3d printers? Pipes, nails, and cordite/fulminates?

Factory built firearms I can believe, but I don't believe that the populace would be incapable of constructing their own, nor would be unwilling to if push came to shove.

It is a modern phenomenon, but there is no effective way to fully disarm a population without vetting and restricting the imports and purchases within the entire economy (including the internet/communications infrastructure), which I'd imagine the UK doesn't want to do.

I've re-bought games on GOG before just to have that backup DRM free copy for piece of mind, and to use for machines that will never connect to the internet :)

It's a bit of the shopping cart paradigm: no one is stopping you, but it's a bit of a dick move since GOG literally allows you to keep perpetual copies for yourself forever.

Also, because of that exact scenario, many high profile steam game publishers are wary of being sold on GOG - and I suspect this exact instinct in the community is exactly why they are going to avoid the platform as long as possible. Even if it's a repack, it's a lot more work to find that release than to just use a GOG installer, and that ease of piracy scares them.
