There was once such a norm that legitimate software (be it OS or app) won't corrupt your important files delibertately, only some malware will.
Nowadays, exactly the opposite has become reality (not entirely, some malware that corrupts data may still exist - but at large) - the legitimate OS and ...

Breaking news!
They just banned me (minutes ago) in one more online community talking about Android-based smartphones. The bot tells me "you can appeal in 90 days". It means, they expect me to have no one to talk with for at least 90 days.

They do so for my criticism of all their typical "security ...

Latinized version of "тыкберри" should be "tykberri".
How did they come to idea of such Russian-sounding audio for this hazard while they used only English for development of official Keen games?

Really...
Want huge amount of storage? Buy HDD.
Want much storage on Flash memory? But USB Stick, SD card, MicroSD card etc.
Want to have Flash storage with Wear Leveling? Again no need for specifically internal memory of smartphone, tablet etc. External SSD does the thing.
Want to have it encrypted ...

From Commander Keen 6, I remember the best the incomplete tileset of floating pink islands - appearing only twice in Bloogdome (level 5, optional, level containing the endemic enemies Nospike, those that take 4 shots to defeat but also run off the cliff, becoming harmless mid-air (no longer harm ...

A typical situation in some levels:
You open a switch for a bridge and other player falls onto a hazard and dies. How does the game know that it's you who killed the another player, not just hazard, so player falling into Tar in Keen4 Netkeen counts as YOUR kill because it's YOU who opened the ...

Pink islands - available ONLY in level of Commander Keen 5 "Bloogdome" and ONLY as two-tiles ones - where left tile is attached to specific texture of wall and left tile is free. Missing to make a complete tileset are the other tiles - one-tile island, middle tile, left tile that is not attached to ...

Weirdly. the vertical shaft for the moving platforms from the very beginning is connected with one more gap above, so that a single Impossible Bullet jump from the beginning of this level enables going to almost the very top of the level, with only Red gem door and closed bridge remaining until the ...

One more unique (or at least untypical) feature in this level - backtracking door to return to early stages of level (other rooms) near the end (if a player missed any of necessary four gems). Necessary because the movement from yellow-blooglet-room to the underground-style room starts from third ...

Also, gas burner is endemic in level 8 of Commander Keen 6 (Bloogfoods Inc.).

Considering not "one-level endemic" but "few-levels endemic"...
In Commander Keen 4 - Blue Bird as well as Blue Bird Egg are endemic in Chasm of Chills and Crystalus.
Inchworm is endemic in Hillville and Pyramid of the ...

Sphereful - endemic to level 11 "Gravitational Damping Hub"

I think you meant to say "Spirogrip" here. The Sphereful appears in Ion Ventilation System on Hard, but the Spirogrip only appears in GDH.


True - Sphereful is not entirely endemic to only Gravitational Damping Hub (GDH) in Hard ...

Having researched mostly the Galaxy games (4, 5, 6), I found several endemic objects...
Commander Keen 4:
Huge statue of Poison Slug - only in first level of Commander Keen 4
One-tile green floating islands - only in "The Perilous Pit) (level 3)
Grey floating islands (which Commander Keen can jump ...

The black background of the first section of level is not unique - same occurs in optional hazardous area of the level "Bloogville" as well as underground in BWB Megarocket (secret area).
The secret accessible by offscreen door? Not unique for all official Commander Keen games, as the same occurs in ...

Well, chat apps let you use some network for transit... it's a service... not a thing that you possess..
Providing cloud for chat contents is also a service...
But what about storage of chat contents in local device? Local device should be a thing that you possess so you can just copy it to PC since ...

If it was only about iPhone... The same happens with Android-based smartphones too! Android became locked-down either!
If it was only about addictions... Note this thread (at least how I started it) is about the technology (OS) hindering access to user data, it's not about addiction which is a ...
