  • Oh, man, if you’re trying to learn software disassembly then yeah, fmhy.net won’t help you much; but I would also advise against going to an AI for that kind of expertise. You’ll be much better off starting with this video by John Hammond, he’s pretty introductory, and exploring his channel/others from there; he’ll teach you more about picking apart software in ~30 minutes than you’re likely to actually internalize and learn from chatting with an LLM all day (which will probably try to moralize/sanitize its outputs because CrAcKiNg GaMeS iS wRoNg). I’m not saying the AI can’t be helpful once you know the right questions to ask, but you most likely don’t want to go all-in on one to teach you.

    Also as an aside relating to that video, Cheat Engine is effectively malware these days (Sources: 1, 2, I used to have more but they purged their forums/github issues of evidence), so I’d recommend something like PINCE instead (or just grab an old version of CE, if it’ll let you install 6.3 I recall it being okay). Once you’ve outgrown what it can provide you, you’ll likely graduate to using Ghidra, but I would advise starting simple and small to learn.




  • The other problem with this is that this is all controlled through the Play store API, not your device, so they can yank your access to all of those unverified apps any time they want and say “actually, no verification = no run, fuck you, pay me”

    If you don’t think they will, that they’re not just dying to do exactly that and squeeze people just that little extra bit more for YT Premium subscriptions or whathaveyou, ask the people who had their movies yoinked from their library with no warning by Sony (over fucking licensing costs, at that, not even hurting their profits directly) if they thought that would ever happen and how it worked out for them.








  • so this website is complete dogshit and continually reloads the page for me on Firefox on android, having something of a small fit; and it seems to be paywalled anyways as a subscription nag did partially load at one point; but what I can see from the article is this hilarious subtitle/header:

    The stock market selloff this week has been painful for investors, but spare a thought for Elon Musk.


    Unless that thought is to laugh. And the investors can get bent, too.
