Wanted a game, back then wasn’t available in my country unless I travelled 3 hours to a city that had one store that had the game, also was too expensive and no way I would’ve convinced parents to spend it on game. Shores of high sea are always at your doorstep.

At least for games, I check how big is the dev team, anything bigger than 30 then pirate Then I check if owner of the development studio is public company, if yes then pirate Then I check if owner owns more than one development studio, if yes then pirate Then I check how many games studio has released, if more than 10, pirate Then I check how many copies have been sold on steam, more than 1m, pirate

If a game dev team fails all above checks, I will still pirate first, but if i enjoy pirated copy, I’ll buy the game to support the dev.

Agreed, also the .part file can be played in VLC as well, it’s the same thing as copy pasting the link in VLC though, but this way you can keep the file.

To answer your question in short , is it safely possible? No.

From your replies it seems your ISP is active against piracy. If budget is tight I recommend, use seedr.cc it gives you 2gb free and it torrents on your behalf, so you’re legally safe. Also you can extend seedr.cc to 4gb as WELL without paying. Dm me if you want to know how.

I know it’s not enough for big games and stuff, but most TV shows and movies you can find decent 1080p rips within that.

Anything else will require some investment/cost.

Amen

It was six years of property taxes my bro, it is like saying your rent is 1400 and tax is 10,000.

Considering how strict he is, doubt they’re getting out of prison soon.

I like it, i for int easy to remember. I also use i, j, k as u it vectors and remember at what depth of a multidimentional array in working at.

I think these days that’s the rule, if it piques your interest but you have some trouble understanding headline, you may just click on the article

No it also means it’s a service problem in the sense that it’s not priced right for a geography. Pricing a game $70 where local average monthly income is $120 a month is a service problem. If you expect people from that geographic region to pay, the product should be priced within their means. And thus argument is valid only for digital goods where every new copy of the said goods costs mere few cents.

I Should’ve read the article, it doesn’t belong here

How do you think they’re detecting what to sensor, how are they censoring it?

I guess fuck apple. They knew legislation and they had 2.5 years. If they can’t meet its their problem, pay fines or make usb-c iPhone.

So the way these thieves work most of the time, they don’t know what to do with stolen items or how to liquidate them, so they’ll sell everything that they have to a bit more sophisticated criminal who knows how to liquidate stolen items and knows buyers of everything. Ideally when they steal a phone they don’t care what phone it is, they’ll sell it to their middleman, middleman will pay probably pennies on the dollar since it’s not an iPhone and street level thief wouldn know it’s value, middleman will probably sell it to someone that will gut it and take components out.

In this case, thieves just be new to the game or amateurs.

I’m not saying storing potential energy doesn’t work, it works and even though we lose some energy in conversion it’s still better than chemical batteries. No question there, my point is simple, we don’t have enough infrastructure to cover the world’s baseload demand by releasing stored energy. We need something that can produce baseload power 24x7. Geothermal and tidal(debatable but close enough) are the only viable renewable energy sources we have that run 24x7 and they’re not enough to cover the world’s energy demands. Adding PSEH doesn’t cover it either. We need something more and nuclear (fission or fusion) are the only other options that don’t emit CO2.

Dams are a whole another story ecologically but even leaving that aside, we are talking 200-300GW capacity currently in the world for PHES, even if you construct damns on every possible lakes, estimates are around 1000GW that world can build. World currently consumes close to 8000GW on baseload. We won’t even cover 15% of baseload with PHES.

If you’re trolling with your storage as magical solution keep trolling.

They are, and they are good solution but they are not good all and end all solutions, both wind and solar cannot meet baseload and when you start talking about battery storage as solution, scaling it up requires more metal mining than will ever be sustainable, so pursuit of fusion, pursuit of tidal energy, pursuit of better nuclear, pursuit of better geothermal are viable exploration options as we need baseload generation substitute.

Gonna assume that’s sarcastic
