Just upgraded my hardware so I can play Starfield. And I bought an extra SSD just to dual boot linux. My video card is so new I can’t get the live usb to show any video.
Everyone else in my situation has to use the onboard graphics to install, but I have none. So I tried this time. But I’ve gotta use windows. it just works
You can get ReVanced which is a modification of the original YouTube app. It has pretty much everything except DeArrow.
https://github.com/revanced/revanced-manager
You’ll need a YouTube APK file and it will patch the app directly on your phone, it will also let you select what “patches” you want. So you can customize your YT experience, but it works exactly like the official app in every other way.
I have every *arr in existence, I don’t pay for anything. But I have YT Premium Family. I still use ReVanced for sponsor block and other customization preferences, but I have it for my family so they can be bullshit free on every device.
It is the best Discord alternative, and it can be self hosted. But there’s no interconnectivity between instances. So not really a fediverse alternative
Every Larian game so far was exactly like this, they always did early access for cheaper then went full price when it came out of early access.
BG3 was full price from the start, probably because of the money they had to pay WotC for licensing
Amazon changed some things at the beginning of the year, they made it very difficult to get the actual file in azw format. They only let you download kindle unlimited books in their secure kfx(?) format, which current DRM removal plugins are unable to process.
If you buy the book you can goto Content & Devices and download the book in azw3 format which can be processed by the DRM removal plugin.
From what I’ve read amazon is monitoring the sites where they’re developing kfx bypass mechanisms and are sealing up those holes before a public release can be made. Which is irritating because I just hate the Kindle app and prefer MoonReader
Gamepass ultimate has the same thing, you can play games on their cloud servers, some are natively controlled, but for the good ones you need a controller.
My wife wanted to spend more time together, got the 8BitDo controller that holds my phone and I play games while she watches her stories. Works well.
EBook tracker, read their rules then hop on irc for an interview. You can use jackett/prowlarr with MaM to automate Readarr
Its important to have a supplemental block account, that won’t generally accede to DMCA requests. The big guys will of course, but they don’t get rid of the whole file, so you can grab the remainder from the block account. I can’t even think of the last time I wasn’t able to download something between my main and block account.
Mine is in the Netherlands, I only use private tracker and Usenet and haven’t had any issues. I also have 4TB storage so I run my Plex server off it. Great setup. No notices, or any bullshit really
#ebooks on IRCHighway has alot of newer books. Older books are more likely to be found on Undernet
It’s Starfield I’m worried about. My system is below minimum specs. Helluva time to upgrade too
What I meant in this case was spyware. My father in law no matter how much protection I put in place always manages to install SOMETHING. He’ll even override the antivirus telling him the app is suspicious. He only goes on stock sites and business crap and sees no ads. Its always a casino game or something stupid like that. No idea where it comes from
But it is, it’s very reliable. So long as users don’t install anything, and there’s a quality paid antivirus solution and windows 11 gets blocked then very little will affect these installs.
As for security? Who cares. They’re checking email and using Facebook. They’re not running critical software, and as for reliability… Let me tell ya from an admin standpoint Linux is far from reliable, there’s a very good reason companies pay money for support.
I love Linux, but it’s my job. When I go home I just want the simplicity of Windows. Thanks to tons of useless certifications it does exactly what I tell it to do.
When family wants a new OS install I don’t suggest Linux or even mention it’s existence. They get a version of Windows 10 with the bloat ripped out and the inability to upgrade to Windows 11. 90% of tech support calls have been stopped.
What friends I have attempted to convert usually go back to Windows due to Nvidia driver issues but as we move forward and gaming becomes less of a hurdle maybe we’ll see more converts. Especially if Windows keeps pushing their whole cloud OS thing.
Got an 8BitDo controller off Amazon, you can get a little clip for it that holds your phone. Best $20 ever. Kinda heavy to be gaming on the go but in bed it’s great
You can do it via VPN. Just a quick Google search found something but the link keeps getting edited for some reason. Just google it yourself
Tip: Don’t use Nord VPN. Try Mullvad if you’re going this route.
I doubt Apple would allow anything like the ReVanced manager to exist in their ecosystem. I’m sure someone will do something but you’ll probably need to be jailbroken (not sure if this is true, don’t use Apple)
The ReVanced team have made patchers available for a number of Reddit apps including Sync
I priced it out recently and protonmail is more expensive than paying for Google business email and extra space. I thought about switching but I can’t think of a way it will significantly make my life better. I’d rather pay some money so hopefully I’m not the product anymore.
