As far as I can recall, EMPRESS called them out for linking malware to her crack releases. Please someone correct me about its details as I don’t fully remember it.

Edit: Looked it up, there was a torrent with a bitcoin miner injected that 1337 mods appearently didnt remove which caused the whole ordeal.

The group used “sophisticated computer scripts” and software to scour piracy services

that’s way too fancy talk for these programs LOL

7 million dollars? You could get multiple professional historians, mythologists or whatever expert your game’s theme is focused on to review and revise your entire game’s story for less than that.

I don’t get what the manga publishers aim to achieve from this. I’ve bought official translation paper versions of like 20 manga series that I’ve read through scanlations. If I didn’t read the scanlations, there is no way I would ever buy them let alone read them.

There is absolutely no fucking way I would pay per episode like publishers want digitally. They put the dumbest restrictions like I can’t screenshot, I’ll need to pay if I want to access it and all that crap. That’s absolutely not happening. People don’t start reading new manga that way.

Some companies pay enterprise level prices to browsers (this could also be attributed to many free software) to have a direct line of support. They want to be able to ask “what the fuck is going on with this employee’s software” and have a straight on answer; or some insight from the people that made that software. Without that support the product is the same as your typical browser.

As a fun experience, try downloading any sources you can on libgen about a low level programming language and then try to code on it without ever looking up the internet. Just these sources.

The fact that this is doable speaks volumes about how big of an information source it is. Not everywhere has good access to internet, but the knowledge to progress further is certainly obtainable.

Specifically the OS download links. If you’re running Windows, it’ll link you into the media creation tool instead however since this tool is a Windows Executable it’ll not work on Linux by default, so they link to ISO files instead.

You can always download the ISO from Microsoft’s site. Just spoof your User Agent’s OS to Linux and it will automatically redirect you to a Windows ISO download page.

If you want to transfer photos; just plugging the device via usb and enabling USB transfer should let you move them easily.

TeamViewer app should let you transfer files between both. Alternatively you can use Google Drive; or whatever cloud storage solution you have.

There also exists a seperate application from Apple if you want to syncronise music files.

pick whichever you’d want from this list. If you’re looking for a streaming platform I would recommend FlixHQ / FMovies but you don’t necessarily need to stick to them. Just pick any from the list, most of these should have the latest season anyways.

If you want a download client (a program that auto downloads TV Shows locally) try Sonarr. It can auto fetch when a new episode releases which will typically be faster than the streaming options (since they too try to

You cannot get VAC’ed from a game that doesnt have VAC. I know this because at one time I tried to get an experimental Steam account to get restricted by the most games out there. (I got 7 VAC Bans and 43 Game Bans on said account). Game bans disable certain features within a certain game. VAC only works based on the game it was on (except the whole Source/GoldSrc group bans, which I consider as a single ban).

What you could be referring to could be account bans can be issued based on fraudulent activity on the account. I assume this would cause these sorts of bans.

Though I would typically need to write code that injects the game just right to trigger the anticheat; if this causes game bans this could make getting future bans a lot easier for said account

I likely grabbed this game from when it was given away, but its still cool that it is available. Also got a few Steam profile items but never used em.

Depends on how hard your country cracks down on individual piracy. If you’ve heard a friend of yours in the same country being served a copyright notice for pirating; you absolutely need a VPN. If you’ve never heard of this and the idea sounds impossible, you typically won’t need it.

If you will need a VPN; I would heavily recommend Proton VPN for convenience. If you want to selfhost you’re going to need a server in a different country which will still cost you money. Assuming you’ll pay for a typical sbc + gigabit internet + electricity costs + remote maintenance costs and you’ll be looking at a way bigger cost than just 60 euros a year. That’s how much ProtonVPN costs.

You need god -> TempleOS

Only reasonable purchase for anti virus are for companies where all it could take is one weak link for a hacker to cause all sorts of trouble. Common sense is best AV.

Since the licensing of GBA4iOS was GPLv2 they could’ve posted the source code with their edits and call it a day; but i guess they didnt even do that.

I can smell data loss issues just by reading this

You can technically install dpkg onto arch; but it’s not reccomended.

Welp, whichever sites loses this case it’s still a win for me. Fuck elon musk and fuck the music corps.

I’m betting half of those are the typical piratesite103.com domains; which after domain seizure moves to piratesite104.com within minutes.
