No protocol is illegal in and of itself. BitTorrent wasn’t created solely to aid in piracy. Most Linux distros have their OS seeded. Same goes for lots of the internet archive. I used to transfer work files all the time using it.
MR clearing up this mess. Also maybe police should be stopping real crimes and not commenting on software they clearly have never even used themselves.
I bought a few last year and settled on the Sabrent for my 4TB storage. Been solid.
As for external enclosures, Sabrent has a decent 10Gbps one, so does UGREEN. I picked up a ZikeDrive Z666 USB4 enclosure because speed. It runs hot so I had to slap a block on the SSD (they claim it fits them but it’s hella tight) which helped keep it at 40C. Orico also has some decent enclosures.
Lastly. One thing to note, Samsung has no warranty system in place for Canada and will lock you in an endless loop of no help by pushing you to the US system which will tell you can’t handle Canadian warranty claims. Just FYI.
I was under the impression that even just letters (no case) would take a lifetimes to brute force if you exceeded 15 characters. And that drops to just 11 if you mix cases, numbers and special characters.
It’s more of a long term strategy to reign in control of how people “consume” the internet. Google wants an ad on your desktop. They want your browser to stop, just like YouTube videos, to show you a brief 20s ad spot.
They are embolden now because they have amassed a massive user base with Chrome and all its ill gotten derivatives. Which is sad that everyone trusted this sleazy company.
And yes, when ad revenue drops, that tends to focus an ad company. With that said, they have only been increasing ad spots and their length over recent years and that has not had the impact from your data. So…
But yeah, all these companies are just working tireless put locks on the net to force you into more subscriptions, which are what companies are all about. Passive incoming has always been absolute gold.
Torrents are registered. Only people who can access the private website get access to the torrent. It’s much harder for the bottom barrel legal teams that just sit on them recording IPs, like they do on public ones.
They can certainly get into a private tracker but will be found before long. This also depends on how the private tracker is run and by whom.
Use a VPN when doing illegal shit. Don't leave to a shady website.
All I’m saying there were so many red flags on buying these that you’d have to be new to technology to not have seen this coming. I’m actually surprised they weren’t doing or worse from day one 🤷♂️
Or you know have the sense god gave goats and be able to see the neon sign as they have been blowing out Amazon home devices for years. Now they need to recoup that half decade of losses. Buckle up.
Honestly, this is why we are here. I get it if you use their delivery because getting stuff can be hard depending on the area. But this stuff, where there are half dozen competing options… come on.
Hi, just to clear up some things. You say only some cores work. Yeah that’s not possible. This isn’t a car where some pistons can fire while others do not. A processor works or it doesn’t. There is no “oh only 3 out of the 8 cores work.”
Two, no amount of reinstalling or software will fix a hardware fault.
I agree it’s bloated but disagree I need workarounds or hassle to get it working. None of their stuff is without bugs but overall, their stuff is actually surprisingly sturdy.
And not for nothing, but if you want to talk about headache, that’s Linux. Needing to always mess with config files, or search for some specific error or package. There’s always some hurdle because waves arm reasons.
Apple OSes definitely need a Snow Leopard pass, but on a whole, I feel it’s steadily been improving.
