Out of curiosity, what's preventing someone from making a regulatory db similar to tzdb other than the lack of maintainers?

This seems like the perfect use case for something like this: ship with a reasonable default, then load a specific profile after init to further tweak PM. If regulations change you can just update a package instead of having to update the entire kernel.

When I said small I was referring to portable (kinda forgot the word), as hunts can be completed in 15min or less. I think I would still prefer World though, probably because I did 300 Narwa hunts in one week before they fixed the "loot drop tables" bug.

If we're nitpicking about AMD: another thing I dislike about them is their smaller presence in the research space compared to their competitors. Both Intel and NVIDIA throw money into risky new ideas like crazy (NVM, DPUs, GPGPUs, P4, Frame Generation). Meanwhile, AMD seems to only hop in once a specific area is well established to have an existing market.

For consumer stuff, AMD is definitely my go-to. But it occurs to me that we need companies that are willing to fund research in Academia. Even if they don't have a super good track record of getting profitable results.

MH series always does one big (console) one small (mobile) in that order. Last gen World was the big and Rise was the small.

This is probably gonna be the big one :)

The Mobile port for Final Fantasy Tactics is still superb. The UI is a bit outdated but the strategy game itself is not.

Or just anyone who's worked at a help desk.

And I did the same as a kid in the late 2000s in order to play World of Warcraft. Found someone's info on a random online dump, filled it in and didn't think more about the id theft. What I then learned is that there is NO "fake" IDs that can pass this test. It's just plain old ID theft of actual people.

The ID itself is encoded as 3-digit city/3-digit district/8-digit dob/and 4 random digits. There is no "generated" name that works with a specific ID since the name isn't encoded anywhere. Most reputable vendors perform the check backed by an actual government DB.

The problem is that it IS the exact same info used to apply for bank accounts, loans, mobile phone numbers, etc. And nobody bats an eye when a pirated gaming app asks for it. This could be legitimate, but I'm more willing to say this is someone's ID collection scheme. If that's the case, it could be doing more than just collecting IDs (cause why not?) or it's at least facilitating more ID theft.

Btw this is most likely a scam. This is the equivalent of asking for your name, DOB, and SSN on a random app you found (the ID contains both location and DOB). Even if you have an actual ID DO NOT FILL THIS OUT. Delete, purge, and move on.

Hush! Don't point it out! Lure him into a corner and steal his time machine!

Land's cursed. Almost as if America was built on top of an ancient Native American burial ground or something.

It's a royal "we".
