...an enthusiast device that isn't Snapdragon?

What a bad idea

Adobe CC. They've added new features recently to justify a subscription, but it's still not that good of a pitch. Some editors will have offline PCs so that their software doesn't get fucked up by anything (SUPER common in music), so having a subscription model works against professional users of their software.

 

The first 2 seasons of Search Party was some of the most engaging TV I've ever seen, I was fully into it. The third season is still pretty alright, but not anywhere near as great as the first 2. But what the fuck even is the 4th season of this show? The last episode just made me feel extremely cheated.

Yeah, OP of this thread (me) actually has schizophrenia. Being a right wing shithead isn't the same as being schizophrenic. Schizo is just the new way people have of calling people "autistic" like people did a decade ago.

The prebuilt binaries are down :/

Probably. It's just odd to me that all the ones I use/used a lot have pretty much zero PC games. Torrentleach isn't really a gaming tracker, still just odd that console piracy has grown so much in the past few years.

That makes a lot of sense. I thought it was really odd that there were 50+ pages for Switch games but only like 3 for PC games. Reason would say that if you're buying a $2000 PC, you're less likely to have a desire to not pay for games. Even I've moved away from PCs and switched to Android emulation because of price.

I'd definitely be more likely to buy a Switch or PS4 than a new PC right now. And I'd probably be pirating on them

Recently became an unexpected foster parent. I have my old account, don't have the money to buy a 2nd copy right now.

 

I got out of video game piracy for a while, but I'm coming back. One thing I have been absolutely SHOCKED by is how finding PC game torrents is actually kind of difficult from my normal sources. Now it'd be one thing if I just wasn't seeing games, but for some reason Playstation and Switch have far more uploaders and seeders on the sites. This is something that would have been unthinkable when I was into piracy. But from a quick glance, it looks like the Switch has a bigger piracy scene than PCs do right now. This was so extreme I couldn't find a torrent for Minecraft past 1.12. I found a download, but not a torrent. Or I couldn't find any of the old versions of Five Nights At Freddy's on PC, but could find them on other platforms. Things I'd consider true PC staples of the past decade with absolutely nothing popping up in my normal sources.

I'm not asking where to find PC torrents (although I certainly wouldn't mind). Are consoles actually becoming more popular to pirate for?

Usenet is pretty much the only place where you can find truly everything. Many of the original seasons and episodes are lost media. So you can't actually get everything without a private tracker or Usenet

I bet this is for compression for mobile networks. Saw those pictures on a phone screen and they looked fine. Plus, webcams just look like shit. Even if your Pixel 8 Pro is compressed as fuck, it's still gonna look better than most people's webcam.

Pretty sure it's only Empress. On another note, I would not believe the Empress story if I hadn't been around long enough to actually watch everything play out in real time.

Windows Defender is fine. The only anti-virus good enough at what it does to be worth buying instead of just using WD is Emisisoft, and that has its own set of issues.
