do i really need a VPN to torrent? ive been doing this for over 10 years now from movies to games and its not like i got spam mailed or anything, is there really a threat to not using a vpn?

>>108513236Do they? I know they do on their free tier, but this is on their website. https://protonvpn.com/torrenting they seem to be extremely positive about it.I've only ever used it to avoid geoblocking, but no idea about torrenting.
Just hop on private trackers and don't be a vpn cuck
How much money would you bet that biggest lobbyists of fines for copyright infringement via torrenting are those people who indirectly own or are invested in VPN companies?
>>108515867>Downloadthats different from torrenting. direct downloads are fine, but torrenting is risky in cucked countries
https://torrentfreak.com/game-pirates-beat-denuvo-with-hypervisor-bypasses-irdeto-promises-countermeasure/Every single game with Denuvo has been bypassed Bypass is available for all denuvo games on day 0Irdeto is seething hard and saying more invasive DRM is coming. I'm guessing they will demand kernel level access in later versions of Denuvo.Will Microsoft allow them that?
>>108510665Tbh the last denuvo crack that actually removed it was a decade ago. All the modern cracks only bypass it in some form or another. HV is just now the easiest
>>108503965I bypass denuvo games since forever.
That's great.Fuck them and fuck the idea of "intellectual property"
Just use an offline computer for your gaymes.
I prefer to purchase DRM-free games on GOG.com!

>>108520792for anima I think you really need an artist since the default style leans toward deviantart tier. you could try the score_9 but i stopped using it myself since it was messing with the prompt comprehension. there's a list of artist examples on the HF community tab iirc but I can try to find a direct link

>>108490212Still using these since 2022. Got a good deal on them from Costco and inspect some drops off my desk they've still held up. Very good sound for the price. Only thing about them that bugs me is that incredibly bright white power light that stays on as long as the speakers are plugged in.
>>108487257i use these little fellas + a sub on the floor. its like pulling teeth to find shielded monitors near me for a reasonable price but they sound good enough to do the dogshit music that i make. Got them at the thrift store for ~$10 as a surround sound system so i have 5 more in a box in case something ever happens to these ones. Its worth having a subwoofer even if you have monitors imo. Just to touch the low end and fill everything out. No need to go full nigger in an acura with it.
>>108502165>got to a point where one of my ears started bleedingWHAT
>>108487257The middleground is TV Soundbar + subwoofer for a TV.
at what point did hardware manufacturers give up on making really fast HDDs (like picrel) and let SSDs take over? my first desktop from 2009 or so had a 7200rpm drive, and then the Xbox One i got later used a 5400rpm one. i just find it strange because (to me) things were all over the place. my older sister's laptop from ~2019 still came with a mechanical drive, but it was during the era where they tried to cope with Optane (which afaik didn't work out well for consumers). i'm sorry if this is really incoherent and dumb but just a simple outline would be nice
>>108517375Around win8, when everything was moving towards laptops and small tech. You could have used og win10 on hdd but it was slow.
>>108517375SSDs started to take over around 2014 or so but HDD speed never really went over 7200rpm, there were some models that were faster for consumers but most people always went for the 7200rpm.If you wanted faster speeds then raid was needed.
>>108517375high speed HDD are considered inferior for consumer use now because they're loud and annoying, and anybody who cares about speed isn't buying a HDD. high speed HDD are still around for businesses who need it.
>>108517375Have you looked at the higher quality models?They're 7200rpm and 200+MB/s.
>>108517375What the fuck are you talking about?The only metric---the ONLY one people actually give a fuck about is throughput. How many Megabytes per Second can the drive handle. Some autistic motherfucker will talk about seek times, but all of those are on the level of milliseconds now in hard drives.For the most part, they are getting hard disks to the point that they are saturating the SATA connections they have, especially on NAS and Enterprise grade drives.So, at that point, for most people the speed of the drive in RPM is irrelevant if the drive can shit out your 40GB file in under a minute. If you are a prosumer doing lots of random itty bitty writes you'll pay more for an enterprise or NAS grade drive that can take the abuse, or if you are a consumer you'll get an NVME or a SATA SSD.Really the Raptor and Velociraptor drives running at 15K RPM were just a stopgap, because once you get up to that speed they become less reliable. 7200 was the happy medium.

Worldcoin (now World) by Sam Altman scans irises/faces via Orb kiosks, pays in WLD crypto.They extract a unique IrisCode for proof-of-personhood (verifying real humans vs AI/bots). Raw images are deleted after processing; no central storage of biometrics per their claims.Goal: Build a global human ID layer for AI-era apps (payments, messaging, services) without revealing your data.It faced bans and forced data deletions in many countries (Kenya, Spain, etc.) over privacy issues. Enrollment slowed; most people forgot.No evidence of secret misuse. It's just a biometric login for a crypto/AI identity network.
>>108520600>everything's deleted trust us broheh

>>108521159I prefer talking to ChatGPT over people. We're always talking about me and my problems. I don't have to pretend to be interested in other people as I wait for my turn to talk and think about what I'm going to say.

has anyone here managed to repurpose an android phone as a server? how have you handled the battery problem?

My stinkpad decided to die on me for good I don't feel like fixing it, instead I decided to get a decent phone and survive with it for a while until I can afford to build a real PCShould I get something like used S24+ (Exynos, I can't find the SD version in my shithole) so I can supposedly use it with my 27" 1440p monitor, or would that be a retarded idea and I should go for something with more raw power but no such features like a new Poco F7 (SD, similar price)

What’s the purpose of valves steam-cube?If you can handle installing Linux, you can also put together mini-ITX PCs.
>>108520667What have they released actually? I though they only released a few succesful games and mostly just do the marketplace thing, which is also succesufl although questionable when it comes to lootboxes bs. But it's a cover for obvious money laundering scheme, that's why they won't be shutting it down any time soon.Anyways, so what have they released that was a failure, besides maybe some older hardware products? Like old steam controller and such.
