If your switch get stolen, just send the signal for the card to activate, which then would cause nintendo to brick it.

Do people care?English3·6 days agoI mean I torrented without a VPN on comcast/xfinity and nothing happened besides a few emails, eventually they stopped even sending those emails. I mean I had my own unlimited mobile data plan, and everyone in my household is abusive to me so I just decided to test what happens, worse case scenario, their internet gets shut off and I’d just have to use my own mobile hotspot connection. (Don’t judge, I’m just very petty about being on the receiving end of abusive behavior and I would sabotage my own family for revenge) Welp, after like 6 months of downloads, nothing happened, I eventually stopped doing that and used a VPN because I wanted to watch some weird tv shows and movies that I didn’t want them know about.
But this is anecdotal, don’t test this at home.

Do people care?English53·6 days agoIf you convert a magnet link to a .torrent file (there are many sites that can do that) and then upload the .torrent file to archive.org, they’ll download the files to their servers as part of their archival process, then you can just download the files via standard https, you ISP will only know you downloaded from archive.org.
But archive.org isn’t really meant to be used this way, so this is probably unethical. But I think section 230 protect them (for now), so its not like they’ll get shutdown or anything (correct me if I’m wrong).
Oh lol I didn’t know there was an alternative OS compatible with steam deck. I thought that the only Linux OS out there were all for Laptop/Desktop PCs.
