I never personally used it but there are a lot of posts of people complaining that something is broken because the software is assuming to run on latest and greatest windows 10, especially games and anticheat. There’s also a post on Reddit of someone complaining “it doesn’t have Windows spotlight, how can I enable it” (the sponsored link ads on the lock screen) but that’s a pro, not a con…
2032 is only for iot version that’s designed for ATM and similar appliances, missing too many features to be considered a good alternative
Only if you install w10 1809 that was released in 2018. It is ancient and missing so many features that’s almost using another operating system. But at least will get security updates until 2028
Otherwise they altered the deal, latest ltsc was released in 2021 with only 5 years of security updates
You need to wipe your drive and reinstall windows in order to switch to the ltsc branch.
This said, are you aware that windows 10 dies in October and any security issues (~50 discovered every month, although not all very serious) won’t get patched anymore?
Better get used now to w11 or Linux rather than next year after automatically getting a ransomware and losing all your data after visiting a dodgy site
It’s a weak defense because the clients still exchanged metadata with other clients, plus there’s the big issue of using the copyrighted works for their own profit, and not just archiving/preservation/personal use
Where now are the copyright trolls that sued regular students for millions of dollars for downloading 30 songs?
Under federal law, the recording companies were entitled to $750 to $30,000 per infringement. But the law allows as much as $150,000 per track if the jury finds the infringements were willful.
Let me see:
So, a 15k billion dollars fine seem appropriate to give to Meta AND criminal sentences to all the c suite.
Or: apply the same rules to regular people and allow unlimited copyright violations without consequences
My limited brain can’t understand the concept of pay+ads
People actually do that?
It’s a free service, right? It’s not a paid service, right?
Maybe blocked by your country?
My country blocks all of them using the excuse of csam and cloudflare doesn’t support them
Meanwhile, ai companies that are doing exactly the same are allowed to rack up billions in revenue.
“It’s American for profit corporation, not a Russian cybercriminal!”
there are more accurate emulators nowadays, although because the human race is horrible, we bullied the dev of the most accurate snes emu to suicide
I just unsubscribe when it becomes too prominent. There was a guy doing a recap of the news of the day in 5 minutes. Suddenly added 2 minutes of ads. Fuck that
I very rarely backup game saves but only the thought of being locked to a console puts me off. I can’t possibly invest 100+ hours in a Pokemon game and lose everything of the battery dies, screen breaks, console is forgotten on a bus or stolen, and so on.
Very nice and seems fast
In the next weeks I’ll go in an authoritarian country so I can test if it works good
Seems trustworthy even if free, but if using for p2p it’s a bit abusing them, maybe donate a bit via liberapay
April’s fools!
Right? Right?..
Wait, so for example, this company had to pay $230 million in fines. Suppose that they did a $20 million “donation” to the president (which, being a crypto exchange, could be done in untraceable Monero). Then they get pardoned even if they aren’t incorporated in the States and they claimed to not operate at all in the USA. When is the last time that you heard Trump caring this much about foreign companies who pay $0 in American taxes? Usually he is like “fuck them fuck that and slap additional tariffs on them”
Like that Nikola guy who sent Trump a $2 million “donation” and then by pure coincidence and sheer luck got pardoned.
