I could be wrong but isn’t it essentially impossible to pirate modern versions of Adobe Creative Suite products as they’re now cloud based, meaning the only versions you can pirate are around 10 years old?
Oh yea. There’s definitely still time.
Hey, not all of us Debian users are lesbians.
It would be more accurate to call us lovers of lesbians.
Holy shit: “The company is recommending that customers do a factory reset on the product and find some way of responsibly recycling the hardware.”
So they’re not offering to dispose of it, or even giving any advice on how to dispose of it responsibly. Just suggesting people should probably do that.
If companies are allowed to behave this way we’re all screwed. Any efforts by the average person to avert the environmental damage caused by the waste they produce is completely futile and any politician who claims that they’re doing their best to try to hold companies accountable is a liar.
Ro-bot that makes shit up, fuck you all, ain’t gonna get a job, grow up, AI coming for all of you, yeah-e-yeah
For me it was the Simpsons when I was a kid and a relative would record it off satellite TV for me. It just carried on from there. I started recording stuff off TV myself, recording music on audio cassettes and eventually copying VHS tapes.
Then I got a PSX console and my parents “knew a guy” who burned games.
After that I heard about Napster and started downloading MP3s on the family PC. When Napster was shut down I moved onto other apps like Kazaa and Limewire.
Then I got a DVD burner. At first I just copied DVDs but when I got broadband I started downloading torrents and burned the files to DVDs.
About 10 years ago I started storing those files on a NAS. Planning on moving to Jellyfin in the next few weeks.
I use a wyse terminal as a torrent downloader and samba server. I stored documents, including my CV on there until recently but started thinking that might be a bad idea. So now I sync those documents between my devices using Syncthing and will soon be installing Jellyfin on that wyse terminal.
But isn’t that the whole point of them?
Hello fellow media pirates…
Yea, but the modern ones aren’t like that. No company would make the mistake of making a high quality durable product these days. No profit in that.
Sure was. Seems all Nokia can do now is make middling Android phones or try to cash in on nostalgia.
Sure, there were off editions that were weird and unpleasant
You could just say ME.
But I’m curious, have the issues you’ve described made you consider leaving Windows?
I’m cautiously optimistic.
I think some smaller companies and government/ civil organisations might switch this time around. But probably most large companies will pay for long term Windows 10 support then begrudgingly switch to 11.
Those switching could use something else, but lets face it the only option mature enough other than Mac OS is Linux. Regardless of the number of organizations that do switch the increased exposure should make the idea of an OS that has no license fees being used successfully very tempting to a lot of people.
Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

We had a tool that had WOL as an option amongst others but it never worked.
Used to do service desk for a large company. During covid most people insisted on remoting to their desktops. If they shut down the machine rather than logged out, we couldn’t turn it back on remotely and obviously we couldn’t send people out. Had fun explaining that to a lot of people who wouldn’t believe it.
Some of the desktops had recently been switched from Windows 7 to Windows 10. The shutdown and log out buttons are in a different order on 7 and 10. Had two separate people ask me to move the order. Couldn’t get over to them that we couldn’t do that.
Torrenting is getting worse and worse these days, I’m learning the ancient art of Usenet.
