Legally, you’re allowed to make copies of games that you own and use them in an emulator. You can download mods, play multiplayer across the Internet when servers get shut down and also take advantage of better hardware and get better resolution and framerates, then there are quality of life improvements like savestates.

Works fine on my machine

I don’t own an IBM mainframe so.

ESXi sucks

They say the full version is the inspiration for infinite jest.

Plankton farts and dies

It is infringement if you’re sharing the files, but if you make a copy for yourself, then it’s considered fair use. See: Sony Corp. of America v. Universal City Studios, Inc.

Internet isn’t always available, such as in an airplane or someone might not want to give access to the Internet to their child but wants to give them video or audio on a tablet. They can legally copy the content and watch it later.

There are legal issues with software that is solely designed to bypass drm, but that only applies to the software creator, not the user.

That isn’t piracy. It’s time shifting, and it’s perfectly legal to do it.

I had one that intentionally detected a VM and just gave a message that said “Hello :)” and wouldn’t load.

Thanks for making Lemmy!

AI can easily replace upper and middle management.

Then don’t use it.

There was a bunch of downtime over the holidays. I assumed it was due to the Lemmy update withholding posts for several days and then flooding kbin. It doesn’t bother me in the slightest and I have multiple fediverse accounts.

It’s pretty rare to have high performance requirements in an embedded application. Many people load one project onto their pi and for most cases it’s overkill. If you need modern codecs, then buy a streaming box. If you want a nas, then buy a nas. You also need to factor in the additional ~$20-$30 of stuff that you need just to boot up a pi.

I unloaded my pi 4 on eBay those past summer because the prices were so high and got the thin client for cheaper. No regrets.

It comes with built in storage and a power supply, plus a passive cooling system, a case obviously, and removable RAM up to 16gb. It has dual display port, idk about resolution, I run it headless anyway. There is also a bigger version with a pice slot.

Ok, I can buy a quad core thin client for $30. The prices for these are too high for what they are.

I envision brands creating their own instances that federate with Meta. Then you can get an exclusive Gucci account for some absurd amount of money and use it to flex on the plebs.

There’s is pretty much one sketchy site for this stuff I can’t remember the name of it, but I think it requires a payment to access downloads. Almost all pirated car software comes from eastern Europe.

The Israeli government isn’t the sole representation for all Jewish people. Calling people antisemitic for statements they make about Israeli policy is just an ultra right wing tactic people use when they can’t back up what they’re saying.
