  • Could one legally get a hold of those bank bill dye security dye packs, dye your own legally obtained cash with it, and spend it places? Just to make people suspect you're secretly a bank robber.

  • You assume cops require a crime to have been committed before taking you....

  • Adobe Zii - Searched for a week - trustworthy place to download adobe zii? Tried macdrop and cmacked

    Jump

  • If you can get in, Torrentleech has some items:

    Adobe Zii 2021 6.0.5.zip

    Its also included in Photoshop etc there.

    If you have access to any private torrent trackers, if they don't have it, you might be able to get an invite from someone on those.

  • Does a vpn really matter when torenting? Do people care?

  • This guy torments.

    Seriously though, if you are cautious and stick to actual communities instead of just public or private trackers run for glam, you will usually be fine. Communities clamp down really fast if there's a report of virus etc.

    The quality of releases typically is far better, since uploading crap like virus or video covered in ads is a dick move™️

  • Some yes, but some no. A few I've been on are downright absurd in how most of the things are free.

    I agree about not having to pay etc too.

    I suspect I've just gotten lucky but several of the trackers I've found are easy to just let the ARRs do their thing.

  • Places that buy other companies to dismantle or lay off large chunks of staff and take over IP with minimal or absent quality to show from it. Just maximize that investor dollar.

    Microsoft, Disney etc.

    The harm performed far outweighs any investment from a "toward the artists" I see come back.

  • or even a group that funded it

    I noted I'm ok with investors.

    I'm against parasitic groups that feed on properties and prevent money getting to the actual dev folks.

  • Ditto on Spotify. I have big love for piracy of FLAC for my personal music server, but I also have a decent rack filled with physical offerings from my favorite bands.

    My Bandcamp collection is also getting up there, since a few of my favs say they are treated well there, and it's FLAC friendly as well.

    Physical media or merch directly from the band is absolutely the way to go every time if possible.

  • Cool argument, except a huge quantity of pirated works aren't "owned" by the creator or even a group that funded it, but instead by parasitic companies that abuse capitalistic tools to actually steal value from those creators.

    I have thousands of purchased games. 3 categories here:

    1: obtained as part of a pack (humble gog etc)

    2: purchased AFTER trying out via pirate copy to know if it is my kind of thing

    3: picked up early access due to demo or general interest from being a known smaller dev/studio (hare brained for example)

    With less and less access to shareware and viable demos, piracy is often the only conduit to prevent me getting ripped off of $80 for something that looks like a shiny sports car but end up being another "buy $800 in dlc for the full story!" Ford pinto.

    Additionally, I now flat refuse to fund the likes of Denuvo, and wish that piracy actively hurt the bottom line of companies deploying that kind of anti-user shit.

  • Why do so many homes in rural areas have a front yard full of junk?

    Jump

  • Not with THAT attitude you won't!

  • What would you recommend to fix this home network issue.

    Jump

  • This is the right approach.

    I personally use UniFi 6 dishes for my APs, and am never going back to "consumer".

    A note unsaid: typically these also handle band steering and roaming awareness. This means that you can walk from one AP to another and they will connect you seamlessly without fighting over who is stronger, and will adapt to prevent collisions.

    Not sure about Aruba (almost guaranteed they have the same), but you want the options to deploy a Wifi config universally across your house, with each member being aware of and cooperating with the others. In UniFi case, they will occasionally scan the spectrum and auto assign the channels for what is least crowded in the range. The group automatically avoids each other during this process and it's beautiful.

  • Agreed. Several of his books have suffered the same fate unfortunately.

    That said, the ideas do still ring very true... Albeit, many of them are the ideas I wish were more fantasy.

  • It's tricky to get an abusive narcissist out of your head. They have a way of living there.

    No joke! That's been the worst!

    I'm glad you still have her around, and the chance to share time without the negatives.

    I am. My 21 year old daughter has been evidence that I'm doing something ok despite, and it's amazing.

    One of the most healing things so far has been the fact that I can look back and feel confident that I was right every time I thought "this feels like it is wrong and should be different". My daughter still finds me regularly for spontaneous hugs and any time something needs fixing that she hadn't figured out yet.

    I hope you find a similar chance. It's deserved.
