Yet when the lame duck admin was at its lamest, it voiced what is apparently now bipartisan opposition to the ban.
Anyway, that isn't to do with Bytedance's response. It isn't a mask-off moment for them to lament those who have materially damaged their interests in favour of those apparently saving them. The flip-flop is on the part of the politicians. Presumably if Bytedance existed under MLism, they would still desire to exist.
How were the trackers added to these torrents? Assuming either a) you added them manually, or b) the tracker you downloaded the torrent files from bundled them into the torrent file?
If b), if you downloaded the torrent file again now that one of its trackers is defunct, would it still be bundled?
If no, or if a), you could remove the torrents without touching the downloaded data, then locate your "snatch list" on the private tracker (a list of all torrents you've downloaded), batch download them all and add them to qbt, assuming same output folder they will detect the downloaded files and go to 100% without downloading anything.
If yes, there isnt a way I can think of to remove the trackers as a batch, but aside from tidiness of your client there shouldn't be any actual problem resulting from them being there.
Just to be totally clear: Steam OS is a distro for the Steam Deck. It's great that they based their handheld's OS on Linux. There is pretty much universal agreement that is a net positive for gamers. Up until recently, there wasn't a way to install Steam OS on a device other than a Steam deck, except by using third party tools to hack together a bootable version of the Deck's recovery image. That's now changed - Valve have recently released generic install images of Steam OS. Hence this post about a Valve dev's comments about Steam OS competing more directly with Windows, which it previously did not on really any level.
I don't think anyone in the thread is positing that Valve creating Steam OS is a negative. I and the other poster are saying that regardless of whether the dev's comments are truthful, the reason Valve has now released Steam OS more widely is money-oriented, not some altruistic act toward gamers. The benefits to gamers generally associated with Steam OS are simply not related to this new development. Steam OS is not an especially useful distribution for PC gamers. For example, it doesn't include Nvidia drivers like other gaming-oriented Linux distros. But one feature it does have is that it's inseparable from the Steam ecosystem. And while you could describe Steam as "a games store", you could just as easily and accurately describe it as "a DRM platform". In other words, anti-consumer, money-grubbing, etc.
Of course, but that isn't what they're saying in response to the topic of the post: the question of what the point in making steamOS available for PC's is. Is it the main reason? I'm not sure it is, but you can be sure that if it isn't contributing to Valve's bottom line in some way, it wouldn't be happening.
You can run it anytime provided that the noise at the border of the property doesn't exceed limits set by the local council. In the event of a neighbour complaint council will come out and measure it
FWIW you can fix the aspect ratio issue on the firestick using ADB to force the device to display in a 4:3 resolution (except when using streaming apps that force 16:9)
If you want something privacy oriented you'll probably need to build some kind of NUC. To my knowledge no off-the-shelf streaming device respects privacy
There are things like torrentio now which lend BitTorrent piracy a more integrated UX, and that has definitely extended the lifespan of its usefulness to me. Torrents rarely max out my line speed these days, mostly because I have 1000X the bandwidth compared to when I first started torrenting 20 odd years ago. But it's still one of the fastest and simplest methods to get any file you want, so I think it's relevant
That isn't really a defense of DRM's. The acknowledgement swings both ways; if DRM doesn't play a part in game sales, it is unnecessary.
The post's characterisation is still accurate because of what the impact of DRM is imagined to be by game studio execs, rather than what it materially is.
If the conditions were good, sure. Would just need to ensure adequate access control & noise proofing, otherwise I'd look at it like any other apartment
It's pretty bad, but the hyperbole comparison to a global leading cause of premature death is a bit over the top. Besides, as I previously addressed: this legislation will not solve the problem, neither by its intent or practical application.
The Luddites had good points, but ultimately the species continues marching forward and is better off for it.
The social media problem is a media literacy problem. You don't teach media literacy by shielding children from media. It's a legislative band-aid in lieu of a solution that we can't be assed to implement.
Nevermind that the purported exemption for Youtube, presumably on the basis that Youtube is useful, is not objective.Tiktok and other platforms have equal potential for usefulness - and if you don't think so, I'd challenge you to explain why?
Despite the headline, the length of cutscenes wasn't their justification for the length of the game, just a separate question.
It's going to be a story-driven action game, of course it's gonna have hella cutscenes but from what's been shown so far, I'm actually looking forward to it.
After seeing this post, I tried streaming the newest episode of Silo and found it wasn't working in my addon (which uses a4kscrapers).
My mother tried streaming Slow Horses (using same addon) after I told her and she said it worked fine. I guess it had already been cached and was therefore unaffected since the file I streamed was only released today.
Anyway I luckily only had 8 days left of RD, so I subscribed to Premiumize and it only took a minute to reconfigure the addon to use that instead.
Clancy as in Dan Clancy, CEO of Twitch, likely did have a hand in it. Not that the user's makes any sense, given this decision also negatively impacts Hasan
