Raptor was great.

Ah, corporations are people when donating for political causes and when ecxercising free speech, but not when driving a vehicle?

We have this in Finland, some rich people have been fined over 200k for speeding. No particular targeting of rich people noted.

They couldn’t before?

You also need to have a Finnish style progressive fines relative to income, which would also extend to companies.

Perhaps they didn’t wear them, the user thought the glasses were off and not recording.

Or fools.

Ah, OS sideloading,

I wish we’d stop using the word side loading.

It’s software installation.

Rutte is an artist at that, but to be fair that is his job. “The Germans down and Americans in” I believe was the expression.

Android emulator on your computer?

Public costs and private profits eh?

I think even a general strike would fall short as an action.

Oh. I don’t doubt that, I was taking the shadow fleet as a commercial fleet like the Russian one is. I have zero doubt about all non landlocked countries using civilian registered vessels for at least signal intelligence and special operations forces.

I don’t think calling the western fleets shadow fleets is really accurate, but you are right about the issue: in lawlessness everyone is an outlaw.

There is a reason why western countries care about maintaining maritime law and it is to maintain freedom of navigation for themselves.

You seem to be talking about computer games, so I will say this:

• The easiest way to do this is to forego the hardware altogether. Mouse movements and keyboard inputs are trivial to generate programmatically and grabbing the screen contents is easy too. Building a software that understands the objective of the game and can react accordingly is the hard part
• If you wanted to do this outside the computer where the game runs you could emulate a HID device on another computer and forego the keyboard and mouse, but it would be only useful to avoid some anti cheat systems
• It is certainly possible to also build a mechanical system too, but adide from being a fun challenge for an experienced mechatronics engineer, I don’t see the point, especially if you are a beginner

In all of the above, start with the first one these solutions can be expanded to be more complex.

What games are you looking for that would benefit from this, that don’t offer computer opponents?

The big question on security guarantees is how to enforce them. Ukraine already has security guarantees from US, UK and Russia, but look what happened. Nobody cares.

The promising part about this proposal is, that it proposes a tripwire force, but is that sufficient?

How much is one of those fancy pants laptops?

Need to see how bad it is. It’s an old Lenovo business computer of some sort. My own old Lenovo is just a few screws but a mazillion plastic clips.

I was actually considering a desktop PC for this reason…

All of these basic OS skills are great! App management and settings are def on the list now.
