If purchasing isn’t owning, then piracy isn’t stealing
I think that user may be referring to Empress herself, not the commenter.
As in, Empress doesn't need to be using slurs to make her points.
I agree, why not have all of the funds go to servers and the engineers+teams and the rest of the profits go to artists that make the service possible
It is a great resource but? it caps out at the Wii era so... not for this case.
You can e.g. connect it to a PC, use it as a second monitor and as a drawing tablet for photoshop.
This is interesting. What kind of software on PC or just pretty native?
Yeah but so what? They can also go as low as $15 so it'll just depend on the package size. I mean frankly, they are the ones who need it most and OP is clearly in a position where they are able to take some kind of L trying to sell it.
May as well be a good guy and pay it forward. Few around the states would be likely to buy it when the availability from official sources are just simpler and safer.
Besides, I bought a guitar from eBay from AUS. If they can charge me only $217 after shipping and the guitar itself, then a Steam Deck can get a nice price too ;)
The idea is that agency is under duress/not coming from a sound state of mind
In this regard it's about the ability to pirate, which always comes down to the classic "it's a service issue."
The need for pirating this software wouldn't exist if the license check wasn't broken, but since it is, it's now the only way to access it regardless of your ownership or not.
I feel like selling it internationally is your best bet. Find someone in Australia and sell it to them for fair shipping.
Selling it locally is just going to make you tear your hair out. You're trying to sell a popular device that has just had a refresh and a fair sale, outside of Facebook Marketplace or somewhere where a buyer is, quite frankly, not knowledgeable, I feel like your chances are just very slim.
On the other hand, Australian's are looking at $1,200 AUD for a "new" high model that someone else bought and supposedly didn't use.
You'd be doing the Steam Deck community a favor by selling it to an enthusiast without charging them extra just because they're down under.

FWIW I've found Piped (LibreTube on Android) has decent recommendations when you are inside a video. Main feed is just standard, but once you go into a video the suggestions are roughly the same in my experience.

You also don't have to set it up to skip automatically, it will play through with a popup option to skip.

Do these particular advertisers asks the influencers to show their statistics?
I mean, wouldn't the creator have to take a screenshot and send that info in? How do the advertisers even know people are skipping through sponsored segments?
Also I've never understood. I'm not going to buy a subscription service because someone I watch is offering it. If I want it I'm going to buy it regardless whether I've seen its ad or not, and the creators are just offering a discount code that can help them as well.
Lost views is not lost sales. That's just stupid.
It's usually in the network settings of the torrent client. Usually listed with "IP interface binding" or some such.
Qbittorrent has it as a dropdown menu with a list of available IP's to use, as well as an option to set it manually.
If I had to guess it's not "that it takes roles away" or that it "affects the writing" like so many try to claim, but that it infringes on the power fantasy. Back in the day Charlie's Angel's was good because it plays into the mastermind behind the femme fatales,
The thing is, many of the movies that get complained about frankly get complained about for the wrong reasons. Some genuinely do have (usually minor) issues such as being written during filming with little motivation to reach an end-goal in mind, just not the rage bait that gets media attention. The reality is that it's a bunch of small decisions that make the wider movie as a whole weaker, but these idiots just hop onto the "it's bad because it's woke" train. Like, for fucks sake people. Marvel isn't bad because it has focused on female characters just like Sony isn't bad because it's woke. Morbius was a train-wreck led be a cultist and yet where is the rage for that mess? None, it got meme'd to death so hard Sony thought it did well and brought it back to theaters...
I guarantee that if 2005 Elektra were remade today and happened to be not so great it wouldn't get the Morbius treatment, it would get the Phase 5 Marvel/Sequel Star Wars treatment about how the focus on female characters is detracting from something, all too happy to ignore the production issues behind the scenes.
On an aside, I still don't understand why Sony is getting a pass with the awful villain movies. The first Venom was OK but the sequel with Carnage was abysmal and the real leaked script for Kraven didn't look much better... I'm not entirely enthused about the upcoming projects they have because I want them to do Madame Web well and.. I just hope they get it together but I personally was not a fan of TASM 1 and 2 (though 1 was far, far better by comparison). Mostly nothing to do with the cast and most of the cinematic scenes, it was just the bland changes to the story that ultimately didn't lead anywhere. So many frameworks are all set for them but instead of following it they just recreated images in live action - the side by sides are beautiful, the films are pretty terrible. That's the one thing that Sony doesn't have against DC and Marvel is at least the attempted re-imaginings of character arcs in DC and Marvel are sort of making the framework their own. Rant within rant over, thanks for reading.
P.S. for anyone else view Phase 4 Marvel as 2020's Phase 1. Endgame basically reset the universe, the actor-heroes are tired so in between the Multiverse movies they've been doing single-character focused films. Black Widow, Shang-Chi, Eternals are all pretty much stand-alone characters (with minor cosmic roles to come). The shows Hawkeye, Ms. Marvel, and She-Hulk are also completely independent character-driven shows that I really liked.
WandaVision was pretty much a setup for ending the aftermath of Endgame and leads into the movie Multiverse of Madness. Falcon and Winter Soldier had a different script about a plague being used by terrorists, then Covid-19 lockdowns happened so the show was changed and suffered because of it. With that in mind, it's an OK show. Loki S1 is pretty good, S2 was a let down but the finale set up the future well. Moon Knight had no action sequences and wasn't planned so it suffered. (Surprise surprise, all Marvel shows that sucked completely unrelated to... "wokeness", whatever they mean by that).
With that in mind, Phase 5 is simply continuing this trend. It's mostly character driven movies with a few being tie in films. Ant-Man 2 was OK, I liked it more than people online did it seemed and I honestly found Kang to be the weakest part of the movie for me. Guardians 3 was very good, but it does hinge on you caring about the events of the characters from Guardians 1, 2, and Endgame. But it's the closing chapter of the gang, so it's a good sendoff. And now we have the Marvels, which I haven't seen yet but from my understanding is another semi-introduction film for Ms. Marvel and Monica Rambeau (from WandaVision). Deadpool 3 looks to be a tie-in Multiverse, and then we'll probably get a few more character oriented movies and shows.
So honestly, while I understand the burnout for Marvel content, as of November 2023 if you've seen Endgame then you can watch the Phase 4 and 5 marvel films and shows in basically any order so don't let that be a real excuse. I listed everything except for What If (animated but canon) and Thor: Love and Thunder (production issues, I liked it but it needed tonal consistency).
It's how long archeology has said we have had permanent settlements.
In reality it's likely far earlier than that, we only just found a settlement from 11,000 BCE in Turkey, Gobekli Tepe which was likely a sanctuary/shrine, as well as other towns in the surrounding area likely having started before even then.
Big archeology pushed back to say that that's not 100% certain and that humans were still nomadic, despite all the evidence showing otherwise. It was finally just recognized officially a couple months ago.
This just in - 3 female super heroes count as politically correct. More at 11.
I can't speak to what you're looking for specifically, however I can give you an idea of the level and type of noise you could expect.
With a local server I built with 3 standard 8TB HDDs, the "noisiest" part of the whole computer is the fans itself - it's very quiet compared to say, a fanned air purifier on full or maybe even half power. I've never actually heard my hard drives from any of the computers I've built in the last 6-8 years, and I'm usually right by them. If I listen very closely I may hear some ticking/spinning if they happen to be ramped up.
So under load, there may be a chance of hearing some of the spinning disks in a quiet room, however I haven't actively heard an HDD since 2012 - though the size you're going for could be different as you mentioned. I can't speak for the 18tb sizes. As for the smaller external HDD's, I have 3 6TB ones running in tandem and it's pretty much the same, I've heard them ramp up slightly but it's nearly silent even under load it's more of a gentle hum. If there were any noise sources like music it would be unnoticeable. But again, the size may play a factor.
You mentioned it's right by your bed but would your active hours align with the backups? I.e. if you run them overnight from 2a to 8a, you'd already be asleep for the backup. If it's noise that prevents you from sleeping that may help.
Disney has acquired Marvel over a decade ago (14 years). They are closer to producing 2 decades of Marvel content (6 years from now) than they are from the date of the initial merger in 2009.
It's very similar for Star Wars which was 2012.
They also still make original kids shows.
The first season was fine, this last season was a waste of time. Each episode amounts to nothing and there is sooo much repetition that I was thrown back to Heroes season 2 during the NBC writers strikes.
I don't know if S2 of Loki was the way it is because it was trying to change Kang or because it was trying to be impressive. As of now, it seems like the latter.
All that said, S2 of Loki was "technically fine", the acting was decent-good, the visuals weren't terrible for 90-95% of it, good soundtrack. It was just the premise and how it was written that fell flat for my friend and I, and we're both just kind of bewildered by the positive reception to it. Like, is the bar that low for people? Were we expecting too much? Is Disney just astroturfing? maybe a little of all 3. But holy heck, compared to other shows like Gen V and Invincible coming out each week we are so hype and sad about those episodes ending and we watch Loki and go... "that was it? ok..."
I did like the ending, though. Pretty much the only part of the show that wasn't sci-fi technobabble and actually amounted to something and a smidge of character development. Even still, it was only okay I guess.
It gets more complicated if someone is double-natted (CG/NAT) unfortunately.
Eternal archival format shifting.
