Yes, at least their attempts at destroying privacy comes directly from the government.

That seems to be the opposite of what the others are saying: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autorun.inf#Inf_handling

Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 10

For all drive types, except DRIVE_CDROM, the only keys available in the [autorun] section are label and icon. Any other keys in this section will be ignored. Thus only CD and DVD media types can specify an AutoRun task or affect double-click and right-click behaviour.[9][10]

You are remembering that the executable features of autorun.inf is disabled, which is still true. Autoplay (if enabled) as it exists currently only applies for discovered media file types and makes your default configured media player responsible for handling them. It would not be possible to execute arbitrary tasks unless you had an ACE exploit for the installed media player.

But, the whole point is to have the waters muddied. That's why it's called a dog whistle, because only the dogs (the intended audience) will hear the whistle (recognize the true intent behind the phrase).

all that happened to yuzu is a slight name change so i don't expect much more here.

All of the commits for Suyu, the most active yuzu "fork" this year is like 20 different readme/URL changes, lol. Nintendo 100% succeeded in killing it.

This age period is shockingly young; I don't remember exactly but iirc it's less than one year old.

Anecdotally, that sounds hard to believe to me, because I moved from South Korea (which has the same sound ambiguity) to the US at the age of 11 and have no problem at all distinguishing between the two sounds. All of my Korean friends that I had back in middle school also had no issues, even though none of them were born in the US. On the contrary, I've been told at times that I speak Korean with an obvious western accent.

GOG, because I don't care about badges and achievements and other trinkets, but I do care about DRM

From what I understand, the end of the URL string is just one of the clues the browser uses to determine the "type" of received data (https://mimesniff.spec.whatwg.org/), and the true behavior depends on the browser's specific implementation. A part of the process involves actually reading and analyzing a small portion of the received file to see if the file really is the type that the URL claims it is. For example, I started a quick python server, and made it serve the OP image, except I renamed it as a jpg file (without actually converting the image of course). When saving the picture inside the browser, Firefox correctly identifies the file as a png image: While edge incorrectly tries to save the image as a jpg image:

Regarding your "MP3" file specifically, opening it in a hex editor reveals that the actual file contents identifies itself as an M4A file, despite what the URL claims:

So, you should be good to download them any way you find convenient, and then just renaming them to the proper extension afterwards.

You probably discussed it because you were aware and interested in it, and your awareness and interest showed through in your other trackable habits outside of your chatroom. You only notice when they guess your interests correctly.

Just because all defect stock are routed to the US inventory, doesn't mean that US inventory is made up of all defect stock.

The 2 series is now ~180 inches long (about the same as the first generation bmw x3) and ~3900 pounds ~~(significantly heavier than the first generation x3)~~ (about the same as the first generation bmw x3).

The compile process was modified to decrypt and unpack the "corrupted" test zip file, which was actually a code patch, and apply said code patch before assembly of the final binaries.
