But Trump will in 3 days, and then his buddy Musk can buy it up.

Calling it now, the supposed “rumors” of Musk wanting to buy out TikTok are suddenly going to become not-rumors on January 21st.

If it is new malware, scanners wouldnt pick up on it.

Actually they do often pick up on it, unless it is a very novel attack vector (and probably not something you’d find on a pirate site). Malware often follows very predictable code execution patterns of communicating with outside IP’S and modifying other executables, and these are things that can be detected by most AV.

On behavior tab there is tons of stuff. Shouldnt there be none?

There will never be none. it’s all listed as low or no risk/informational only anyway, which goes back to the pattern recognition thing.

VT is listing things that the file has done during viewing. ALL things. This stuff might or might not be a concern, whether or not it’s a known attack or pattern of malicious behavior. If you are a legit security analyst you can use the behavior data to see what files its touching and stuff and understand good and bad security design. Like, the only actual yellow warning is… it apparently looked at Google dns. Which is something any browser pdf viewer will do.

Oh. The other thing I forgot to mention, is every submission to Z-Lib goes through an approval process where a certain number of community contributors have to review the document and make sure it’s legible, safe, and valid. I know, because I’ve submitted stuff before, it takes quite a few days to go live. It’s not just random bad actors shotgunning stuff onto the site.

I have downloaded hundreds of documents from Z-library and LibraryGenesis and never had an issue with a single one of them.

That virus total scan shows free and clear, it has some warnings about there being external links inside the doc afaik (VT very broken on mobile so i can’t understand the report well), but that’s really fringe edge stuff to actually be “dangerous”. You’re over-awfulizing the danger.

FTC really do be dropping all of the really hot lawsuits that should have happened years ago… all of 4 days before it won’t matter anymore and the FTC will get dissolved lmfao what a virtue signaling shitfest

Ensuring everyone runs Windows maintains their monopoly and also keeps the user data siphon net as wide as possible. They don’t give a shit as long as you are feeding them personal data and are using Windows.

I’ve always just used the KMS activation method from ms guides dot com. Avoids running anything local (that’s not already baked into Windows). I haven’t had to use it for a year or so but my machines are still working so I am pretty sure it is still current.

The KMS method can be batch scripted too so it’s a single run for your family member.

Every citizen: “hey can we fix the rapidly collapsing public infrastructure, allow housing to be built, and promote domestic good paying industries to fix our stagnant wages and cost of living crisis?”

Labour: “HAHAHA MEGACORP AI IN ALL ZE THINGS!!!1!!1!”

Pretty much every cracking tool or cracked EXE will trip anti-virus packages because they will either A. Has code to overwrite another program’s bytes, which is a typical Trojan, or B. A known common program exe doesn’t match the saved hash that the AV has stored for it, since a cracker has modified it.

I’ll typically scan my games and tell it to ignore any EXE or single dll it registers as “bad” after doing a quick research on how the crack works. If other files begin showing up bad I might question it. But otherwise you’re largely left trusting the cracker, so be very particular about where you download cracks from.

Pretty much any battery can charge in 12 minutes if you can handle their thermal constraints.

your hardware ain’t shit until it’s a first gen core2duo in a random Dell office PC and 2gb of memory that you specifically only use just because it’s a cheaper way to get x86 when you can’t use your raspberry pi.

Also they lie most of the time and it may technically run fine on more memory, especially if it’s older when dimm capacities were a lot lower than they can be now. It just won’t be “supported”.

And very few carry HDMI, because for some strange odd reason hdmi alt-mode is weirdly rare still…

Oh of course, grid scale energy is never for the “normal person”. The point I am making is established fossil-fuel based energy majors do not want any pip-squeak independent startups to start siphoning profit off from their system or possibly making it more efficient or cheaper for the consumer. Vertical integration of regional monopolies is the name of the game.

They’ll only block it until they can be the ones to own the battery plants. There is a hell of a market incentive to be able to purchase literally free electricity ans resell it later.

racist troll account, ban

Piracy was likely the only way myself and a large number of my friends graduated college, so yeah.

Give it 6 months and then musky’s well funded administration will find a way to make bluesky feel the legal crunch
