Even under the best circumstances where the ring0 anti-cheat developer is not malicious - which I'm absolutely not convinced is always true, mind you - they can be exploited by bad actors to take control of your system via privilege escalation. This isn't even just a hypothetical, it's already happened with basically all that are commonly in use - EAC, GameGuard, BattlEye, XignCode3 all come to mind. It's just bad opsec to run games that use them. You could be doing everything else right with securing your machines and network, and it won't matter. It's leaving the back door open.
I'm curious if an open-source anti-cheat consortium would be successful, or if this is one of the few cases where security through obfuscation might be the only way to protect anti-cheat software.
I don't think it would be possible tbh. You are correct in that security through obscurity is the only way these client-side solutions work. There are some amateurish open source anti-cheat frameworks but with the source available everything is easily disabled or bypassed. The only true solution to cheating that isn't invasive is implementing robust server side checking and active human (or hell, even AI could be used for this...) monitoring of anomalous player activity.
Yeah, I totally agree with you. This is nostalgia cope. Flash, Java applets, and Silverlight were all bullshit. Jobs might have been a terrible person and wrong about a lot of things, but this was not one of them lol.
Project 2025 is msnbc fear porn. Republicans cant even get the house in order with a majority, let alone act as a cohesive unit. We saw the dysfunction of the last Trump admin, there is no reason to think another one will be any different lol.

From what I understand, although this is technically binding and enforceable, any further action taken by the UN would require another resolution to adopt a specific response (whether that be sanctions, military intervention, etc.), which the US could just continue to abuse its veto power with.
Lasting ceasefire. It's worth noting that the US specifically forced the change in language from "permanent" to "lasting", whatever that implies.
I like topre switches. Currently using a Realforce R3SD11, my first was a CM Storm Novatouch TKL which was also very good. Have also tried other switches, but I don't like the noise they make.
