Trump not remaining in office is indeed a blow against fascism.

It was signed in 1984: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sino-British_Joint_Declaration

You are otherwise correct.

China is in clear violation of the agreement, since it explicitly stated that civil rights should remain protected for fifty years following the 1997 handover date.

Crytek paid €140,000 for one year and one game. Denuvo is very cheap.

I have a vague memory of a 3D engine from the 1990s using an approach like this, but I’m not entirely sure.

Do you really think that free speech exists on an app controlled by the CCP?

I take it you haven’t talked to any teachers recently.

The European Union can fine companies up to 6% of global revenue for breaches of the DSA, or impose a ban.

I think this would be a far better solution.

Not everything is on the Internet. Even most information from as recent as the 1980s isn’t. A not insignificant percentage has been digitized (this is an ongoing effort), but this doesn’t mean you can just google it or access it through a website.

If you know where and when your ancestors lived, hit up local, regional and national archives. Church and municipal records, national surveys, newspapers (useful for announcements of births and deaths alone), school and university records, etc. You’d be surprised by how much you can find this way. If you’re living too far away to visit in person, give them a call. Archivists are very helpful people by nature and occupation.

A 2080 is still more powerful than base PS5 and Xbox Series X, so it’ll likely do fine for the rest of this console generation.

What’s the rest of your hardware like? I’m asking, because a slow CPU can rather drastically limit the performance of a GPU.

I bought an RTX 2080 last year for around 200 bucks. It’s still very competent at 1440p. There are only a few games that lock away the highest texture settings due to this card only having 8 GB of VRAM.
