@vetgaming @linuxmint It's just a necessity, according to @fuchsiii, as it's just not feasible longterm to collect rarer-and-rarer #VintageComputing hardware and rely on non-enforcement of copyright on #Abandonware.

  • Plus whilst #Valve isn't antragonistic to #Proton / #DXVK repackagings, not relying on them is kinda important, as this setup also helps with otger applications that ain't strictly games or in setups that one may not want to be on the internet.

It makes #TheSims and #FightingIsMagic just work on anything that is #amd64 and has enough resources to throw at it.

one of the most important mac applications i've had since the powerpc days is telestream's ScreenFlow.... which began its life as a simple screen recording app, and slowly transitioned into a full tilt video editing suite over the next 15+ years. i've paid for a couple of upgrades over the years, just because it's 100x more enjoyable than dealing with final cut pro 🤢

screenflow has two cringe-inducing downsides:
- it requires activation (with a serial number)
- telestream breaks compatibility with older versions of OS X every single year and won't support older versions after a period.

they officially quit supporting anything older than v9.0 in 2021, which is tantamount to publicly announcing that v1.0 - v8.0 are now abandonware.

long story short: i spent the night archiving every single release of ScreenFlow from WBM and uploaded them to the mac garden. if you've got anything from OS X 10.5 to 10.14, you now have a working copy of screenflow.

they are uncracked at the moment - but i've contacted a fellow macgarden member who may know how to disable the activation on them.

ScreenFlow 1.x: macintoshgarden.org/apps/scree
ScreenFlow 2.x: macintoshgarden.org/apps/scree
ScreenFlow 3.x: macintoshgarden.org/apps/scree
ScreenFlow 4.x: macintoshgarden.org/apps/scree
ScreenFlow 5.x: macintoshgarden.org/apps/scree
ScreenFlow 6.x: macintoshgarden.org/apps/scree
ScreenFlow 7.x: macintoshgarden.org/apps/scree
ScreenFlow 8.x: macintoshgarden.org/apps/scree

enjoy! :)

@fennix personally, I think corporations should be mandated to guarantee a support lifecycle for a product and put that front and center on the product packaging.

I.e. "Updates guaranteed until 01/2038"

If it was my decision, @bsi would be pressibg charges against vendors who produced such #Abandonware and refuse to fix them!

Infosec.SpaceFennix (@fennix@infosec.space)Reading some of the online commentary about the whole #Zyxel fiasco, I had a very similar experience many years back. My team at work and I did a bunch of research time hacking on all kinds of settop media streaming pucks, and we found a ton of broken stuff (Multiple CVSS10.0s) and when we reported it responsibly the response was basically the same: "yeah that's old we won't fix it." Apart from creating all the ewaste, it's kinda bullshit that companies can do that. Though I do wonder how hard it would be for the #Hacker community to patch this themselves.

Looking for some more advanced techies to help me out here. I was browsing the files of old abandonware (as one does) and came across the .zym file format in a game called Gubble 2. Does anyone have any idea what this file format is? Is it something proprietary by the gubble devs? Something that just isn't used anymore? The only thing google brought up regarding .zym was some mods for quake.

@gnemmi @methuselah @daniel whichever they are, #NameThemBlameThem would be essential for #ITsec, #InfoSec, #OpSec & #ComSec - alongside the messages of them saying they don't give a shit.

  • Anything else is undue leniency and accomplicity, as I'd nit he surprised if such "#Abandonware" is part of a campaign to do #InfoStealing or attack the Comms of people deemed "hostile" by the attackers, which may or may not be state-sponsored or acting under duress...

#Trnapsarency is essentual here!!!

@tokyo_0 #TrueCrypt is #abandonware with serious security issues.

  • DO NOT USE TRUECRYPT FFS!!!

Use #VeraCrypt or even better: migrate machines to #Linux and use #LUKS / #dmcrypt instead, as it's the best option at hand.
