EA just open sourced Command & Conquer, Red Alert, Renegade and Generals
I can't quite believe it either. Command & Conquer, Red Alert, Command & Conquer Renegade and Command & Conquer Generals (inc. Zero Hour) have their code officially open sourced.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)

It looks like Microsoft wanted DEV_BROADCAST_HDR to be a discriminated union, but with the different variants having different sizes, presumably so that they could introduce new variants later without breaking existing code.
This is the correct way to accomplish that.
#Rust does something similar for trait object downcasting: check if the desired type is the same as the actual type, and if so, cast the pointer.
Check: doc.rust-lang.org/1.85.0/src/c…
Cast: doc.rust-lang.org/1.85.0/src/c…

The Sims rerelease gets Denuvo and the Command and Conquer pack is relatively issue free. I wonder if this is because a doll house sim is still in strong demand and RTSes are a difficult sell if they are not made by Blizzard.

Seems like a trojan for brains.
Linux brains.
Expect super immersive mods up to date with the lastest armaments !
Could be wrong though.
