> Services those emails are used with cannot unilaterally send email to them. They must pre-register how they will send email to them, which breaks services with third-party relationships such as online retail with payment processors or shipping companies.
You're talking about "Sign in with Apple" email addresses here, not Hide My Email. Anyone can send to Hide My Email addresses.
They typically ban the glitch entirely. For example cartridge manipulation or "CD streaming" glitches in Zelda speedruns are banned, and if you submitted a run containing them while claiming the game did it on its own, they would probably tell you to get a new copy of the game.
Somehow going through closed issues just to reopen them sounds like more effort than just using the built in label system which is made for this purpose, but maybe that's just me.
They even put in an entire themes menu, with space as if you were going to have more themes you could download at some point, similar to the 3DS. 6 years later it's still just "Basic White" or "Basic Black".

So public services should DDoS is your argument?

I scrolled pretty far through the blog and didn't find anything of that sort. Just a bunch of travel stuff.
Now I'm curious what sort of "harassment" you hallucinated in the sites that were previously targeted by archive.today's DDoS attacks.
They already do this with used consoles and games. If you buy a used Switch that someone tampered with on the software side, the only way you would find out something is wrong is when you get blocked from Nintendo servers months later. Or perhaps you bought a used game that someone cloned the card ID from, and you end up getting blocked when others use the ID.
Getting blocked from the Nintendo servers doesn't just mean losing online play, you can't update the console or games, play game-key card games, or run downloaded games that it needs to validate your ownership of.
I had gone there a few times probably several months before they closed. It was quite sad how empty it was. Product hangers were lined up in a single row with one item on each hanger. The only shelf that looked full was the one aisle filled with just the same two pack of canned air, nothing else.
They don't even need to deal with screen recording which this DRM is trying to protect against either. Just find a device that supports the highest playback resolution and steal the data right off the bus.
RED has a patent on compressed RAW. Apple tried to invalidate it but failed, so anyone who wants to use the concept of compressed RAW has to license it from RED.
In series with the power to the camera would be odd. You would be passing the same amount of current through both the camera and the LED. Unless you meant in parallel, which still leaves the other issue that the camera is likely always powered even when not in use, so the LED would always be on.
> DRM was re-instantiated, when iTunes started streaming as Apple Music
Purchased music is DRM free. Streaming music was never DRM free, since you arguably do not "own" music that you have not purchased. Though I'm sure record labels would love if they could get DRM back on purchased music again.
It is written very strangely. It's not exactly like they reached the decision to use F-line traps for co-processors, I'm pretty sure F-line traps were designated by Motorola for co-processors, and A-line traps were free for use for OS and Toolbox trap instructions.
The "software crashed expecting a co-processor" part doesn't make any sense either, you were always supposed to check if a co-processor was available. There was no big rug pull or anything, both the first models and some later models simply did not have co-processors. Developers were provided this information.
And the last two sentences seem completely unrelated to the prior ones, so I'm not really sure what they're trying to string together.
I'd imagine it's much easier today, than it was in the past. We have TikTok and other forms of simple to access entertainment, no heavy reliance on cash and writing checks, and worse case you just ask someone else to help you.
Although I assume illiteracy indirectly implies that you can speak the language in some acceptable form, I would imagine it would be similar to living in another country without knowing the language. You go into the McDonald's click on the pictures of the food you want, press the big green button, then use your plastic card.
