Their only chance at a defense (and it’s incredibly bad) is arguing that they only stole the stuff but didn’t distribute it to others. Kinda like buying drugs is typically not as severely punished as selling them.

But yeah I really don’t think copyright laws are gonna change in a way that makes happy little individual piracy easier. Meta might want that at this very moment, but they’ll for sure feel differently about THEIR intellectual property.

Without even thinking about big vocal IP holders like Disney.

Universities tend to be fans of outdated software?

What exactly are you trying to get around? The question is kinda broad.

If your issue is your program behaving differently or being hard to set up depending on the OS, a common strategy is Docker.

PS: why is your employer forcing you to use old Windows that’s going to go end-of-life basically tomorrow morning? That’s odd.

Oh I could likely see the difference. But if there’s a significant impact on battery life, I would probably be just fine with the lower resolution.

It would suck if the touchscreen option were only available with a 4K resolution because of that.

Touchscreen? Great!

UHD though? In such a small form factor, it sounds like a needless battery drain. Or are there use cases I’m missing?

Isn’t that true, all other things being equal?

Look for other advice for repairing them, but making your couch feet bigger and softer with tennis balls or felt should prevent it from worsening.

Oh yeah, I’m realizing this late but I’ve got a feeling you might like twists on the magical girl genre like Mahou Shoujo Ikusei Keikaku. Puella Magi Madoka Magica was among the first and is all a fan favourite, but it’s not the one I like the most.

Mangaka. Author.

Akagi is a mahjong manga. It assumes you know mahjong from the beginning. I wouldn’t recommend it unless you really like the game. I barely made it 6 pages into the manga after someone gifted me a volume for Japanese practice.

If you want to see a lighter take on gambling, maybe Kakegurui or No Game No Life.

If you want death game stuff, maybe Btooom!. Mirai Nikki is also a classic in the same vein. Much more over the top would be the Fate series (Fate Stay Night, Fate Unlimited Blade Works, Fate Zero, etc.) Much less intense but still enjoyable was Death Parade. And we’re getting pretty far from the theme but theoretically Sword Art Online checks the death game box; reviled by true connoisseurs 🍷, I still think it’s plenty enjoyable if you don’t think about it too deeply.

If you’re looking for something in the “psychological” category, I can recommend Psycho-Pass for something serious with action, Oshi no ko for something serious with drama ,or Kaguya-sama wa kokurasetai! for a lighter take.

Is there some twisted definition by which you can argue Windows is UNIX? Just to intensify the violence.

What does debloating entail exactly?

What the hell. I’ve never seen such an issue. Microsoft is so considerate; they provide us with cool little surprises like that from time to time. ♥️

Get a Nintendo console. Nintendo Games are absolutely a gateway drug. They’re high quality and generally very easy to get into.

I’m a woman and I was born in the 1990s. I do live in North America though.

When people use “different” with a preposition other than “from”. (Different to, different than)

I know it’s not technically wrong, but it just feels so wrong.

Also, when people add a phantom R between two words. “I’m a big fan of cinema ‘r’ and video games.”

Both stem from me not being a native English speaker, I think.

That’s a small thing?

I live in Canada, where eggs need to be refrigerated, and yet I’ve never seen a fridge with an egg holder. I already have an egg holder. The box they came in.

I may be missing something, but why can’t you have the bank account and phone number both in Lebanon?

In a ranked choice system or other better voting system, yes.

In the current system, voting for anyone but the least bad choice among the two that stand a chance is almost like giving your vote to the one that has the best chances, regardless of your preferences.

Look up the spoiler effect in elections.

Or, CGP Grey has an excellent explanation of the whole thing.
