There is no legal risk because no one is sharing files. All they do is share information. They likely did it because they morally disagree. But then like go ahead and let companies do whatever they want, like gate games behind every single different OS. Bought SF6 for console and want to play it on PC? Go fuck yourself, buy it again. It's wild that "piracy" is instantly bad yet whatever a company does is A-OK-USA.

I think a lot of mods do it because they just have a lack of control in their lives and have this unhealthy need for it (not because they have free time and want to actually help grow the sub). Basically like HOA/Strata. Those guys are literally there not to upkeep the houses and buildings but to just be tyrants telling others what to do. My last HOA was so angry when people would feed the local rabbits (bEcAuSe tHeY MuLtIpLy oUt oF CoNtRoL) that they were threatening fines. I had to get the actual property management involved and the guy I spoke had a tone that he to was so done with them. Basically said that it was illegal and he would talk to them lol. I wouldn't be surprised if half of them were reddit mods.

They are something else. I joined them when I first heard of Lemmy. I also joined .ca and decided I don't need two, so I closed my account. A month later I decided to join again for whatever reason and they a) didn't accept temp emails (like jonny+lemmy@gmail.com) and b) had a lengthy application form where you had to go into detail about why you want to join. The lunacy of anyone even suggesting that, let alone implementing it, told me everything I needed to know. Like I guess you don't want this place to succeed then.

Yes, this is the answer. TMDB and Open Movie Database really only cover mainstream media. They won't be much use for Anime unless it's also pretty mainstream (like One Punch Man).

Yeah I’ve stayed out of those because it’s just felt like a knee jerk without actually even reading anything. “Someone said something critical about a router firmware, quick put OpenWRT on blast!” 😏

Yeah gigabyte is solid. I was quite happy with the Aorus line up. I have never bought MSI because I’ve always felt them to be cheap and dodgy. So not surprised NG was having issues with them.

That was the case before the update, but they didn’t bar security updates and firmware upgrades or not let you even into the router without consent. I had those disabled but the update makes opting in mandatory.

I just write letters to the websites I interact with. I get a good deal on stamps.

Neither are mine. Grammatical mistakes are not typos.

You have no claim. The update does not disable the router and even if you opt out, the router itself still functions, except with a few additional features missing. Telemetry and data collection does not void a warranty. There is no claim here.

Done 🙏

Wow thanks I never could have figured that one out myself!

They are next 🫠

No.

Yeah I don’t get why so many focus on “well, just lie and say you’re under 16.” Literally nothing to do with the state of affairs.

This isn’t pornhub buddy. This is a setting on a purchased product. Also, lying has nothing to do with collecting telemetry or forcing customers into it. You may want to realign your priorities.

Yes it’s my fault for needing wifi 6 🤪

That sucks too because you miss out security fixes. I would rather run a secure and up to date firmware that leaks data to ASUS than one with known security exploits. If those were my only options.

I would rather not have less options in this world and force companies not to be dicks. I guess to each their own. My router is also 2y old so no returns available.
