Five Men Convicted of Operating Massive, Illegal Streaming Service That Allegedly Had More Content Than Netflix, Hulu, Vudu and Prime Video Combined

Jump

  • I've never gotten Handbrake to do anything I wanted. DVD Shrink, on the other hand, is one of my top five most-used apps. It's quite old, but DVD encryption hasn't changed since its release.

    • Why does it feel like too much effort just to go from sitting around looking at garbage online to simply watching a film or playing a video game?

    Jump

  • It's the level of commitment. You can start and stop online activities with almost no preparation or planning. When you watch a movie, you have to mentally prepare yourself to be in one spot and paying attention to one thing for an hour and a half. When you play video games, it takes effort to turn on the console or launch Steam / Epic / whatever.

    • Google Chrome’s plan to limit ad blocking extensions kicks off next week

  • I'll see what's up, as long as it doesn't require admin rights.

  • What's this, you say? Floorp? Sounds like you're setting me up for a Futurama joke, or something.

  • For work, I use Chrome, but only because Firefox's profile management is (more or less) nonexistent. Once they have that, which I understand isn't too far out, I'm ditching Chrome entirely.

    • Using a notification badge to make me look at an ad should be a felony

    Jump

  • Why's that?, if you don't mind me asking. I have no skin in the game, just curious.

    • Does the USA have any open market cellular options that are legitimate pay-as-you-go and only for what you use options like Europe yet?

    Jump

  • The Ultimate Collection of Winsock Software. Man, it's been a loooooong time since I've heard that name.

    • Should I permanently leave Israel?

    Jump

  • I didn't read this as OP wanting others to decide for them, but to help them think things through; maybe get a new perspective.

    • ‘My whole library is wiped out’: what it means to own movies and TV in the age of streaming services

    Jump

  • Don't know why you're getting downvoted; not everyone is comfortable (technologically or morally) with pirating.

    • US Army officer resigns over 'unqualified support' for Israel

    Jump

  • Yay! Making jokes about the name of a person who took a stand and put his money where his mouth is is fun!

    • Report: Microsoft to face antitrust case over Teams

    Jump

  • Big-time disagree. Been using Windows and Mac versions of Office for over two decades. The Windows version is far superior in pretty much every metric I can think of.

    • Streaming services are now getting out of hand

    Jump

  • When was it ever just one portal with everything available?

    • It's movie night. You don't know who's coming but you have to pick a movie everyone vibes with. What do you choose?

    Jump

  • Why build one when you can build two for twice the price?

    • Is this thought about school too radical?

    Jump

  • I would read book reviews and critics' opinions to shape my opinion of the book. I enjoyed many of the books I was assigned to read; others I had zero interest in.

    • Of all movies that you gotta watch more than once to really understand, what is your favorite and why?

    Jump

  • I'd go with Possessor by Brandon Cronenberg. I've only seen it once so far, and the unfolding of the story was such that you had to work for it. It wasn't impenetrably dense, but I definitely had to give it the attention it demanded.

    • What show are you re-watching?

    Jump

  • Schitt's Creek. Only watched it (the series) one other time. Big fan.

    • Tipping culture npcs

    Jump

  • What do you mean by "also?" Do you tip twice?

    • Commercials Are Streaming’s New Norm, and Creators Aren’t Happy: “It’s Almost Worse Than Broadcast”

    Jump

  • Curious about your movie-buying habits... How do you determine what you buy? Movies that look interesting? That you've seen before? A little bit of both?

    • Fuck Ubisoft.

    Jump

  • Genuine curiosity, why does it matter which platform it comes out on? Asking from a comlnsole-only point of view. I only game on PS5, so I'll never get to play Xbox-only games. But if you're on a PC, you can just get the other platform?

    • You do know you can just click the "reject all" button, right?

    Jump

  • Fully agree. Honestly, I'm surprised you haven't been down voted into nonexistence. People acting like, as you said, YouTube's some sort of "right" was kinda funny at first but it's descended into throwing a tantrum for getting caught doing something they shouldn't have been doing in the first place. Petulant children.
