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.

The year of the punch card desktop.

Car enthusiasts are much more welcoming and helpful than computer experts. Just look at stack exchange.

You can usually find step by step instructions for fixing most cars. My library has a subscription to Chilton online, so I can use it from home and look at repair procedures and wiring diagrams. Just use forums and YouTube to fill in the gaps. I’ve even diagnosed a car from Amazon reviews since I suspected a certain part was bad and looked at reviews that said the exact symptoms.

I don’t own an IBM mainframe so.

ESXi sucks

What is there to know exactly? You just follow the installer and pick languages and whatnot. It’s no different than installing Windows except that it’s faster.

What really chaps my ass is when they don’t bother to tell you. It always happens when I’m filling out a form and find out that the submit button just doesn’t do anything. Then I have to go back through chrome just to fill out the same form a second time.

They never say it on these articles and videos. They’ll say it’s cheap and then the price will be $1000

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!

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.

There actually were quite a few issues in 2016 that legitimately could have caused him to win.

The prime minister has an axe to grind with Palestine because his own brother was killed in an operation ~50 years ago. He’s stated many times that he has no intention of any kind of peace and he’s only using a tragedy to take revenge. It’s no different than the u.s. going into Afghanistan after 9/11 and then using that as a foothold when they invaded Iraq under dubious circumstances. It’s completely indefensible.

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.
