I can’t say I don’t have this problem, but the reality is that really is a non-issue regarding piracy.

It comes down to two things actually: procrastination and unnecessary use of your resources. Meaning, you should just start what actually gets you interested, and move on. And instead of data hoarding tons of media, try to consume what you have first instead.

I dare say that games are preserved more through digital means then by physical media though. You have plenty of sites keeping different versions of a number of games, old or new, without any form of DRM (or bypassed) on PC (through “piracy”, as ironic as it may sound).

Physical media nowadays are mostly a form of DRM anyway - a disc that will only work on a certain system, and that usually requires you to go online to activate it anyway, which means that they won’t work after a couple of decades (or even much earlier). The biggest advantage of it, imo, is the freedom of selling/buying or trading used copies.

Torrents, Alternative Streaming Sites, IPTV, Debrid… the options are plenty enough. In other words: Fuck streaming subscriptions.

For Christ’s sake, dude…

By your post history, there have been at least 15 days since you started trying to figure out how to crack ChatGPT. Haven’t you, in 15 days, learned anything about LLMs at all? Why would you even want the ‘best’ of ChatGPT if your lack of understanding is so basic that learning from a base model (available for free in many different places) would be more than enough for your current capabilities?

Sorry… I’m usually not this type of person, but stop asking stupid questions and do some fucking reading!

For now, yes. But these companies change their strategies all the fucking time. As soon as they see their “only on Playstation” strategy is not giving them the expected return, I am sure they’re gonna backflip, again.

Microsoft and Sony (and pretty much any other big corporation in the game business) are not reliable in the slightest - the only difference between them right now is the amount of power they have.

I find it both amusing and shocking that we still have ‘fanboys’ up to this day, when these companies themselves can’t even maintain a solid long term strategy. All they care about is making maximum profit at the cost of literally everything else, so their ‘promises’ hold no weight at all.

Since I use it only eventually instead of running 24/7 I like Surfshark. If I’m not mistaken it’s under Netherlands jurisdiction, which makes it much more trustworthy than USA VPN providers. It also has good cost benefit and good performance overall.

I never looked into it too deeply though. But as I said, for sporadic use I am definitely satisfied.

Most certainly a false positive. Throw the file in VirusTotal and see what it shows. But cracked games, from Anker or anywhere, are constantly flagged with false positives from antivirus software.

Never heard of Tombwater and Hunt the Night before, and both look excellent! Specially Tombwater (it gave me some Dark Tower vibes, loved it). Just wishlisted both and am considering buying them.

I know the US government and legal system will side with Anthropic, because that’s what these fuckers do, but I hope they fuck off and, if they intend to escalate, China retaliates. These Silicon Valley companies are full of shit and full of themselves.

I only use Win11 as a remote game server to play games with Moonlight/Sunshine without worrying about compatibility issues. To work and daily usage, it’s Linux all the way.

Just a matter of time until I transition 100% to Linux though. In the meantime I run WinUtil every once in a while to make sure to disable most of that shit.

Maybe I have misunderstood what the point of the article is but… What a giant load of horse shit.

If anything it just proves that the CENTRALIZED social network is the problem. X/Twitter amplifies what Musk wants and since it’s so big and influential (also because of Musk’s financial situation) it contaminates the perception of reality in all other mainstream social media.

I fail to see how this is an example that decentralized social networks such as the ones from Fediverse could make things worse.

Social network algorithms doesn’t care if you like or not the content itself, what matters the most to them is how long your screen stays parked on a post.

Maybe you’re watching something you think it’s terrible, and then you enter comments to see how people are reacting. It might be making you furious, but that makes it, mathematically, a successful post that grabbed your attention and therefore the algorithm will throw more of that shit at you, because it wants your attention.

It is evil because it ignores human nature and it doesn’t measure how you feel about it. It rewards highly controversial topics because it knows these posts grab people’s attention one way or another.

Is it a new action from them? I’ve been reading a lot complaints about it lately.

If they’re banning people for using VPN, they’ve reached a new low. Not that I care though… Reddit is just a shadow of what it once was.

Not recommended. Even if you’re not writing data to the drive, when you read it the physical components keep working, which can lead to more damage until you lose everything. I would recommend you to back up, right now, your most important data to any other drive you have, then unplug this damaged one, buy a new drive, and then backup your stuff on it following a ‘emergency’ order (the most important and non replaceable files first, and then the less important stuff).

What gives it in is the ID 5, Reallocated_Sector_Ct. In your log, there were found 120 reallocated sectors, which indicates pretty much literally a physical damage in the hard drive. The drive detects this damaged sectors and move the data to a different one.

Not saying you’re wrong, but I wonder how many people that were willing to pay 250 dollars for lifetime would actually pay more than 3 years of subscription.

I believe most lifetime buyers do it for FOMO. They pay it believing that they won’t ever need to worry about it again and that they’re making a good or safe deal… but most of them won’t be using Plex that much anyway.

With this price hike Plex is basically killing the lifetime option. Sure, they might get more subscribers at first, but in the other hand they will also lose a lot of impulse buyers that will hardly pay them 250 dollars in monthly subscriptions at the long run. At least, that’s what I think…

Considering the average time for game development nowadays, these studios barely had time under the Microsoft umbrella. It’s just ridiculous they’re getting shut down already.

Nope. Distrobox does not offer any meaningful protection, since its purpose is to integrate with the system. It’s basically meant to make downloading and managing packages from different distros, on the same system, much easier… but it’s not meant to protect and isolate your device the same way that Flatpak or other type of containers do. That baing said, stop relying on Distrobox as a safety measure, and check your recently installed and updated packages since 9th June, to make sure you were not infected.
