There's just much less curiosity and "awareness of what you're not aware of" these days

It's not just a computer problem at all it's everything

I know how to torrent but choose to use one click hosters instead since they are safer to use here and I dont want to pay for a vpn. People who get fines here are people who torrent because they want to bust seeders since they are redistributing

needing a paid vpn to torrent without getting spooky ISP notices is a pretty big barrier for me tbh :|

Use a p2p block list in your torrent client. Once I started using that the emails stopped.

I use: https://github.com/Naunter/BT_BlockLists/

But there are probably others

What's the 411 on steamunlocked ? Just malware ? Can we just get the cracks like in the old days ?

I only learned to torrent because my dad used to when I was a kid. But these days I use XDCC instead because it's just so much more convenient. Though to be fair most of my friends who are also GenZ probably don't know how to do that either.
