Strangely enough I’ve found that some kid in India or Russia distributing his crack doesn’t do it to control my PC or to infect it.

Big corporations that install root kits or use hyper invasive cheat software (even when no competitive mode even exists) are far more insidious and untrustworthy.

I worry more about the hidden telemetry of big apps more than some crack being infected. Hell even MS virus scan will throw up false flags because the software just isn’t a registered dev or will quarantine an exe in error (libremonitor for example).

Hi. I’d like the word “pro-sumer” banned. In perpetuity.

So I’ve been using Linux since 2006 after moving away from Windows during college. Since then, I’ve used every major Windows to keep up to date and because it’s a part of ,y job to stay current.

What I’ve discovered is MS doesn’t actually iterate. They never abandon the old. Parts of Windows are from XP (and cant tap into dark mode UI). Then from 7. Then parts of 10. Then they added new stuff in 11, but everything else remains. Which is why they have 200 DX libraries.

The most peculiar company on the planet that unmistakably generates shit upon shit because it just can’t stop hoarding.

Jeez, that’s exactly what I was gonna ask you! Wow!!

Mine came out the same? Anyone else get 4019 3455 3009 2020 0913 for their Mastercard??

I’m seeing foldable phones and tablets in lots of movies like it’s an amazing tech people can’t wait for. When in reality they are spinning their wheels trying to get you to keep buying a new phone for $1500 every year. This one has a new button!!!

I don’t know it worked for a thousand monkeys with a thousand typewriters. Just. Give them time.

Meh, movie looks mid af. Don’t care about the stories during the shoot because the world is burning…

Bringing in one of the best stuntmen on the planet to prove a point. Nice.

That’s just Hollywood. The egos are insane. Beyond out of control. Ice skating uphill.

The aTV will give you the best experience when it comes to dark patterns. But just note, a new model is on the horizon, so hold out a little longer.

It seems like the most obvious answer is to build your own with a Pi. Run Linux and then install any player you want. You could even use the Pi as the head then network your storage.

Also, FWIW, the latest Apple TV hasn’t seen an upgrade in about 3-4 years, so if you do go that route, bear that in mind. A new model is coming sooner than later (hopefully this year).

“It’s not allowed… especially in the amounts you do it” LMAO. It’s against the rules but we let him murder some people, just so long as it doesn’t get out of hand 🤪

For the memory of a lifetime. Recall, Recall, Recall.
