The executives need prison time. That’s the only thing that will get them to stop their bots from killing people.

Yes, adb pull transfers from the phone to the computer.

Adb is a command line program. To copy your music folder from home on your PC to internal storage on your phone, you would just open a terminal abd type adb push ~/Music /sdcard. Pressing tab will autocomplete folder and file names. For some reason /sdcard on android is actually the internal storage. If you have an SD card, it will be in /storage/card_name, where card_name is the UUID of the partition on the card.

You do have to enable USB debugging on your phone before you can use adb to transfer files though.

Yeah, MTP is worthless. I always use adb push if I need to transfer a lot of stuff.

It crashed a lot when I played it on windows too. I tried playing it a couple of times, but always gave up partway through because it kept crashing. There are some mods that are supposed to help with stability, I should try it again and see if they fix it.

There are seedboxes that start around USD $5 a month.

Windows XP is really lightweight. As long as your CPU supports VT-x or AMD-V, the VM will run fine.

Different games use different types of DRM. If the game just uses the basic Steam DRM, you can remove it with Steamless. If it uses something else, you have to wait for someone to crack it or for a DRM free release.

I lost all interest in it when stations started putting DRM in their over the air channels. It would have been a great upgrade if the FCC would have banned DRM and encryption.

It’s DNS over TLS.

The torrent client also verifies the checksum for each chunk and automatically redownloads any corrupted chunks. With a direct download, you would have to manually verify the checksum and redownload the whole thing if it’s corrupted.

Having the buffers separate is useful because you can have two different things copied at the same time.

You could try. There are lots of open issues and the last commit was 5 years ago. It may have been abandoned.

I looked up the site on archive.org, but they don’t have any of the documentation pages archived. It looks like the documentation was just auto generated by gtk-doc, so you could clone the repo, install gtk-doc and generate the same documentation that was on the web site.

The domain registration probably expired. It’s pretty common for someone to buy up expired domains and point them to crap like that.

Middle click paste is extremely useful. Why would anyone want to disable it?

You can keep the rootkits to yourself.

That can be done with Apt-Cacher NG. It’s a proxy server that caches .deb packages. It really speeds up updates if you have multiple computers that are using the same packages.

No, you don’t need a VPN if you’re using a seedbox.

I haven’t had any issues with public trackers on ultra.cc. I probably download about 100 or so public torrents a month, but that’s not new release stuff that’s likely to get a DMCA notice.

The VPN killswitch is not safe for bittorrent, it doesn’t work fast enough. Binding the torrent client to the VPN interface is safe though.

I backup stuff on blurays and DVDs a couple times a year. I also wrote a copy of FreeDOS and some software onto a stack of floppies recently.
