    With old games, it was a case of the quality of processing and speed of processing on consumer grade devices. Look at Toy Story, released in the 90s. It looks dated and less well animated than a current video game. Each frame took hours to process and a current video game does it on the fly.

    Analogue sound can and has been recorded for many decades. The mp3 codec existed in the 90s as did other formats. Recording high quality video and sound was very doable. Mixing was less easy than now, but still possible. Images could also be stored lossless. Video was broadcast at low definition. Many of the recording were only made in that low definition format. That’s why old video looks dated. Some were recorded in better quality for the dvd or bluray market. They appear better.

    The point is that under offering users the ability to have all network requests altered is not secure. The user needs to authorize it and there are valid reasons to do so, but there are also bad actors, that will misuse that. I am pretty security conscious, but I can’t tell you which extensions have which permissions on which devices I use, between Firefox, chrome, safari on windows 10,11, android, iOS and opensuse. Placing all the responsibility on the user just removes it from where it should be, which is privacy focused code.

    Lol, none of this is a surprise or new. Leopards and face eating was planned and expected. The majority of the US voted or abstained for him. This is the outcome. This is what they implicitly wanted. If what they voted for is different to what they thought, they haven’t been duped. The information was available. They have been wantonly ignorant. That’s not to say we should blame voters. That’s to say, hopefully people become more informed and accept that when Republicans allow the deplorable a to take over, this is what happens. When democrats try to take the high ground but don’t prosecute insurrection and treason and fix the supreme court, this is what happens.

    History teaches us these patterns. It is why they are trying so hard to erase and rewrite history.

    No, Ireland is excluded and would want to be. Northern Ireland, is included as part of the UK.

    Unless op meant northern Ireland would be upset? In which case they would probably be more annoyed at not being recognised as a country or entity themselves. Sure, some don’t want to be part of the UK, but they recognise the reality that they currently are and their country is called Northern Ireland. This map recognises that and seems inoffensive to Ireland (Republic of Ireland).
