Frat boy, incel culture over at LTT. Shocker they treat women as they do but also a shocker nothing will change 🙄
Also their damage control wreaks of “I don’t really know what I’m doing I just want all the bad press to die already.”
You mean worse than ASUS. The gold standard for dickery 😏
It always makes it worse for the gamer. I was sailing the high seas back then and getting cracked games was double click, and you’re good to go. Real games were please insert disc, disc not found, unable to continue. Bye.
DRM has always been an absolute bane that throws players under the bus because fuck you money
It actually doesn’t seem possible as there are too many systems that need to fail for it be true. The encryption key, access to another Apple ID and Photos having access to it all.
We are finding out that it’s not the images that are restored, but the thumbnails. Which is why the images are low quality when opened. The original photos are gone but the thumbnails still survive on Apple’s servers. Likely just cached. Which of course only applies to those logged into their accounts, not on other wiped devices.
Except the “state” has plenty of evidence of fraud but has literally done nothing up to this point. The only thing that will change things if the people boycott ASUS and demand justice.
Or you know, keep writing your emails to the “state” begging them to actually do their fucking jobs and see how far that takes us.
Was born into it really. Got my first PC. Knew nothing. Slowly learnt stuff off my sis who was going into engineering. Thru her I met a guy who was dating a friend of ours. He was like hey sign up for this BB and you can get tons of free shit. He pointed to D2 which I played like mad. I signed up and just got thrown into the scene. Ended up being an admin of that board for a bit. This was around the time Oink was at its peak. Like 2y later, gone.
Went to uni myself and just supplied everyone with free stuff for school. Even profs lol.
And that’s just how I stayed. Felt good buying everything I used after I got a job out of school tho. Still use some of it today! But for most media, it’s just like why NOT sail. If movies were a buck a pop like they should be, I’d probably furl up my Jolly Roger. Till that day tho 🏴☠️
The real question is why people are still using that dumpster fire of a website.
‘My whole library is wiped out’: what it means to own movies and TV in the age of streaming services
I think it’s wild how people post “omg I just got this entire series for $299! It was on sale so I had to!” Like in 5 years, you may not even have it! Company goes under. Gets bought out. Or my personal favourite, it becomes unavailable because the owner pulled it over a legal dispute. Like so many songs off Spotify. These companies never get involved like well we got our cash too bad so sad.

Ffs do not use Brave
I’ve found most to either be a) you are flagged as malicious by their system and routed thru their process to prove you are human; some you can end up locked into, b) they gate content or services. Mostly the latter but the former is becoming prominent with all the fuss about AI. I imagine they are training protection models on us.
Mostly it’s just convenience you lose, having to always add a protective layer (like temp emails, etc.) while everyone is good to go. Managing all that can be a chore too. Or seem like one.
It’s Bob. He’s got a budget of $200 a year. He does what he can. We like Bob.
