I just watch and delete because I don’t ever really watch anything more than a few times anyways.

The only kind of stuff I’ve ever made backups of is dev software and old keygens because . well - that kind of stuff disappears too easily with the new&shiny fad.

Seeing only (edit…) two to three // results per scroll is way too cramped.

I miss the early 2000s when you’d get like 15 or 20 search results a page on a 1280 monitor because hosts weren’t BLIND.

There’s also funfactor in having physical media and limited choice. A phone with an entire collection on it is just. . plain. standard. even boring. And the handicapped phone UI ruins the rest of the smartphone experience if you wanna do other things with the phone other than listen to music.

Modern CD players also read newer formats, unlike the old-stock CD players off of ebay from 30+ years ago that only read raw CDA tracks

As long as it supports the USB-C PowerDelivery standard and has the supported voltages and wattage needed to do so. Most laptops will need 20v.

For chargers as small as those little phone-bricks the main problems would probably be the wiregauge of the USBC cable and the heat. Being so small and without exhaust vents I imagine the poor little charger would be at risk of early heat death. But it’s doable

I’ve been able to normal-charge a 15 inch IdeaPad 82R9 using a little 1x1 inch 35watt GaN charger. But this was with the CPU locked to not go over 25% load(this laptop is FAST even with this sacrifice) and it makes that little charger get pretty hot. Without that CPU limit in place it actually drains faster than the charger can charge.

I use Krita because I do hand drawn animation so I haven’t pirated photoshop since like . . 2008. Also use a tiltpen with it to paint tangent normals for bump mapping sometimes. Once I obtained good drawing tablets and stopped painting with my mouse I stopped caring about photoshop and its features

Leaking content before debut? Evil and it hurts the owners. Very much stealing.

Releasing torrent too close to original release date? Kinda mean and can really hurt initial sales.

I’d rather people be more mindful and considerate of these two things. After that time has passed though… Nothing else comes to mind. :)

Just wanted to point out that having some standards is good if you want piracy to be respected

Constantly migrating your data from one storage to the next seems like the only real way.

Hardware solutions personally. . raise too many doubts. Like those “100 year discs”, that just screams untested/untestable.

oooh nostalgic.

What I like about gamecopyworld: it’s been around forever!

What I hate: no standards. Sometimes you’ll find cracks for a win98 game or an XP game and they’ll require sys/kernel functionality that didn’t exist until windows 7. I mean… what if I wanna play period correct? And NOT on windows 7 or newer?

It also helps to gauge interest in regions and territories where the media was never put up for sale in the first place. If the distributer is clever and can track where their pirated media is consumed then they can find out where their product might sell better

Sounds pretty helpful to me. Like really old first-generation Opera when it was really proud of its ability to search like 15 different search engines by putting g or b or w or y or whatever in the address bar before typing a search query or when it had still had its own built-in email program
