Could offline physical piracy be good to games?

The other day I saw a bunch of USB sticks for sale at a gas station with greatest hits of various artists and music genres and it got me thinking of physical piracy again. It's something I haven't consumed for over 15 years, but with the fall of prices of USB sticks it is completely viable economically if you do the math, and I...

Blu-Rays would be good if a write drive didn't cost $130+ (for the 100GB models)

LodeMike ,

Amazon search results.

LodeMike ,

Oh. Its a 5.25" drive bay thing. I don't have one of those :(

LodeMike ,

Says the closed source everything else company?

LodeMike ,

Yeah yeah I know, its just too easy to shit on Facebook/Zucc.

He probably just doesn't want a competitor to the lizard people overlords /s.

LodeMike ,

Didn't they always promote in settings? Or is this an actual ad?

LodeMike ,

Don't they beg you to sign in, enable one drive, etc.?

LodeMike ,

I've used up to 10 actually, mostly in VMs otherwise all that shit is disabled by the university. It does pester you to sign in if you're not. I've never signed in. I used 8 way back when it came out.

LodeMike ,

If you buy a phone from Verizon its perma locked for no reason

LodeMike ,

The FCC can do anything within the law as a condition of using radio wavelengths.

LodeMike ,

Oh right that fucking thing.

LodeMike ,

But I can use a non Verizon phone on Verizon? Are they just trying to dissuade it because the people doing hotspot bypass are likely gonna do the research.

Edit: oh yeah ads. Of course it's ads.

LodeMike ,

Of course.

And yeah carrier locking is already illegal [if the phone is fully paid for].

LodeMike ,

Are Google lyrics timed??

LodeMike ,

Spotify lyrics aren't synced? Then why the fuck are they charging for them?

LodeMike ,

...what was in them?

LodeMike ,

...ugh.

I'm torn. One part of me says that search engines should ignore this if enough pages link to it (maybe only indexing title). But... Ugh.

LodeMike ,

Mobilism?

LodeMike ,

Check your DNS

LodeMike ,

So its a service infected with malware that spread? Oof.

LodeMike ,

What's the malware do?

LodeMike ,

Ah frick

LodeMike ,

Of course it does.

LodeMike ,

You can add multiple peers WireGuard but not multiple interfaces. If the IPs line up well it can work. You can also NAT through a device if the IPs don't line up well.

LodeMike ,

Anyone got a backup?

And do they have copyright over the URLs or something?

LodeMike ,

you'd think

US Record Labels Sue AI Music Generators Suno and Udio for Copyright Infringement ( www.wired.com )

The music industry has officially declared war on Suno and Udio, two of the most prominent AI music generators. A group of music labels including Universal Music Group, Warner Music Group, and Sony Music Group has filed lawsuits in US federal court on Monday morning alleging copyright infringement on a “massive scale.”...

LodeMike ,

Links maybe?

LodeMike ,

Seems that way

What do you think the Great Filter is?

The Great Filter is the idea that, in the development of life from the earliest stages of abiogenesis to reaching the highest levels of development on the Kardashev scale, there is a barrier to development that makes detectable extraterrestrial life exceedingly rare. The Great Filter is one possible resolution of the Fermi...

LodeMike ,

It's very very obviously the speed of light.

LodeMike ,

For federal employees... God I hate misleading headlines I thought they might disable the phone or have google play refuse to work with it or something.

LodeMike ,

I highly doubt that unless they invented magic.

Edit: oh... They ommitted the "up to" in the headline.

LodeMike , (edited )

I meant tech radar. Thanks

LodeMike , (edited )

That's accurate.

Its done through multiple algorithms, but the general idea is to schedule calculations as soon as possible, accounting for data hazards to make sure everything is still equivalent to non out of order execution. Individual circuits can execute different things at the same time. Special hardware is needed to make the algorithms work.

There's also branch prediction which is the same thing kind of except the CPU needs a way to ensure if the prediction was actually correct.

LodeMike ,

Because money.

LodeMike ,

Hey consumers! Would you like a customizable function button that's actually not customizable? Can we get VC money in the chat?!1/?!?

LodeMike ,

Because its convenient for them. For people who only have a phone Netflix for $2 or so a month is great.

LodeMike , (edited )

This season was kind of a letdown for me. There were way too many cringe things.

LodeMike ,

Also bedrock is available on like 50 different platforms to purchase

LodeMike ,

I think the oldest discovery is actually your mother (she is very old)

LodeMike ,

Ah yes, a dead man's switch.

LodeMike ,

Discord is not a forum lol

LodeMike ,

Have you enabled remote access? You may be using the proxy.

LodeMike ,

What IP is your router bound to? Is it a public IP?

LodeMike ,

Then you're double NATed. Contact your ISP to see if you can forward a port.

LodeMike ,

Because they can't control Matrix

LodeMike ,

12

1 + 3 + 4 + 3 + 1 = 4 + 4 + 4 = 12

LodeMike ,

Can't. Runs in userspace

LodeMike ,

Tip: be passive aggressive and sarcastic when helping them. It both teaches them the solution in a memorable way, makes them not want to get help from you again, AND makes them think twice before doing so.
