Better late than never, but I finally got my hands on the new Steam Controller and made a quick review. Check it out!

Looking for a great review of the new Steam Controller?
Look no further than Gojeda Tech.

Bypassing #EU#AgeVerification using their own infrastructure.
I've ported the Android app logic to a Chrome extension - stripping out the pesky step of handing over biometric data which they can leak... and pass verification instantly.
Step 1: Install the extension
Step 2: Register an identity (just once)
Step 3: Continue using the web as normal
The extension detects the QR code, generates a cryptographically identical payload and tells the verifier I'm over 18, which it "fully trusts".
This isn't a bug... it's a fundamental design flaw they can't solve without irrevocably tying a key to you personally; which then allows tracking/monitoring.
Of course, I could skip the enrolment process entirely and hard-code the credentials into the extension... and the verifier would never know.
‼️🇪🇺 The EU's new Age Verification app was hacked with little to no effort.
When you set it up, the app asks you to create a PIN. But that PIN isn't actually tied to the identity data it's supposed to protect. An attacker can delete a couple of entries from a file on the phone, restart the app, pick a new PIN, and the app happily hands over the original user's verified identity credentials as if nothing happened.
It gets worse. The app's "too many attempts" lockout is just a counter in a text file. Reset it to 0 and keep guessing. The biometric check (face/fingerprint) is a simple on/off switch in the same file. Flip it to off and the app skips it entirely.
@Don_TranQuiL@windscribecom In 2025 alone Apple, Microsoft, Google, PayPal, Facebook, Samsung, Amazon, X, CoinBase, Dior, TikTok, Hertz, etc. faced severe issues with data leaks & security breaches, & you suggest everyone should trust that Discord are going to be the ones who finally get it right.
Crazy. 😂
@TheShawn4Real@windscribecom You simply have no idea how any of this works & how social engineering can be used to get a full profile.
Does being out in the world & giving your ID to employers mean you can freely give them to absolutely anyone who asks for it?
Why not just publish it everywhere then?
@TheShawn4Real@windscribecom You’re not very intelligent.
You realise actual crimes have been committed with access to emails alone, right?
This was one data breach with a small amount of info. What about other breaches with other data points? You think they can’t be cross-referenced to build a profile?
@TheShawn4Real@windscribecom You’ve never heard of identity theft? Digital blackmail?
Every one of those people who were included in the breach are now targets for social engineering efforts to gather more data, or find more attack vectors.
These include actual children.
Completely defeating your own point.
@Don_TranQuiL@windscribecom None of that prevented the last breach.
Discord can hand off verification to 3rd parties to stay compliant with legal requirements.
Do you know who those 3rd parties are?
Can you trust they don’t have 3rd parties of their own?
You’d never know or be assured of their security.

Trying to get back into #illustration. It's been a while since I've had the urge so I figured I should try to kickstart the creative engine. 😌
It’s 5:30AM and I’ve been listening to what sounds like an all-out war between at least 300 cockatoos that decided to fly in & perch in the trees here at around 5AM.
It is LOUD!
