which is a big reason why most long lasting pirate sites are hosted in russia

this is how we end up with lost tech a few decades later

ya with how expensive plastic crap is nowadays in most stores, why not just buy from a place that sells the same thing that represents more closely to the price of manufacturing them? Of course I wouldn’t buy any tech stuff from there, but a simple plastic container? Temu for sure!

nope, if normal gamers are already willing to pay that price, no reason for nvidia to reduce them.

There’s more 4090 on steam than any AMD dedicated GPU, there’s no competition

and then download a house

I remember to swear by megaupload because all the other upload sites uses extremely sketchy ads and allow the fake download buttons.

Now Jdownloader is the only way for me to download non-torrents

the way we share payment info to sites is so backwards is the reason despite all the problems paypal had, it still provide a lot of value.

compared to legal sites stealing your personal data after telling you (it’s buried among the 100+ pages TOS you agreed to)

yup, the system is rigged from the start. Big corpos can easily bully an everyday person by stalling the legal process and stack up your legal fees until you cannot afford them and had to settle.

even if it’s not. There’s just a severe lack of thinking skills here. What do they think happens to the pirate copies people already downloaded will happen when drm is added to the store version? There’s a reason we keep saying DRM only punish legitimate customers.

Clearly these kind of people have relinquished their ability to think and let ads do the thinking for them.

pirates just need to for a while pretend to post in a way that piracy is really no more so they stop doing anything about it.

only if you are accepting to be in their content creator program and get the free key

probably easier to mess with the projector so it records a local file that is a copy of what is being projected, which would already been decrypted. With this if you can infiltrate the DRM company you only need the schematics of the projector, not an active malware to steal new keys.

Also before the better twitch adblock that let you bypass adtime with a lower quality video, people do literally use the plugin that replaced the ads with purple screen.

Alternatively, we have this arbitrary standard of 9am means morning, if we share a single universal time, different places would just have a different arbitrary time being the “morning” instead.

it would require government intervention. Where a regulation must declare that ads must clearly be labelled as ads, so that adjustments can be made by detecting when is the ad segment happening.

the validation shouldn’t cause too much lag since game needs to sync up the game states anyways, which is an operation that is inherently way more expensive than any validation anyways (since each frame of the following game states need to adhere to the game rules anyways, there’s already inherently some form of validation). It’s more about not trusting everything the client says the game state should be.
