Yup. It was funny how during the 2020 election cycle they briefly had to change all their merch to say “keep America great” despite continuing to use the MAGA slogan throughout most of Trump’s administration. By their logic, America was only “great” during the first part of 2020, which is… questionable, to say the least, since almost nothing was “great” during that time.

Even then, anyone can use inspect element to make it look like it says whatever you want.

Basically the scheme from Office Space

They don’t actually provide decryption keys, the user has to either extract them from their own Switch or find them elsewhere online. However, it could be argued by Nintendo that using an unreleased game ROM for testing proves that the devs themselves were guilty of piracy, and were therefore somehow condoning the use of their emulator for piracy.

Either way, we won’t know how well Nintendo’s arguments would have held up in court, because the devs settled rather than fight it out.

It was a settlement. The devs decided, for reasons that are not public, that it would be easier to just pay Nintendo some money and take down the emulator than to fight them in court. It’s very possible (even likely) that they figured it would be more expensive to fight Nintendo’s lawyers than to just pay a fixed amount up front.

I have a 500/500 fiber connection, so generally a torrent download is the only thing that can actually make use of the entire capacity. So, I usually cap download speeds at 350Mbps as to not choke out the rest of my devices, but I leave upload uncapped because it never reaches high enough to have a noticable effect.

The reason they aren’t is because methods for cracking DRM like Widevine are kept extremely secret so that the exploits don’t get patched. It does mean that a lot of content is locked to whatever the scene decides is worth their time to crack and distribute, but if anyone made the methods they use public, they would stop working very quickly.

To be fair, I’m guessing the majority of Pi’s are used headless anyway. Plus even the older Optiplexes have DVI, which is just HDMI without the audio or fancy stuff like ARC. Won’t be getting 4K or anything, but still a very good video output and IMO adequate for almost all use cases.

If you’re actually ripping bluerays, I would highly recommend using MakeMKV. It’s technically paid software but while it’s in beta you can can a free license key from their forums. BluRays can be formatted oddly and include a bunch of crap you probably don’t want (preroll ads, etc), so when I tried to rip one with jusy ffmpeg it was a pain, but MakeMKV deals with most of that for you and gets a 1-to-1 copy of the movie files + anything like captions and alternate audip tracks.

Interesting, I’ve had a pretty good experience with Jellyfin recently (it used to be pretty unstable but has gotten better with time). I mostly use the browser and Roku clients, and haven’t had any issues apart from a couple of movies that stuttered. I’ve used it over LAN, a VPN, and just straight port-forwarding. However, I am running it on my Windows gaming machine since my Linux box isn’t fast enough for 4K transcoding, so it could be that the Windows version is more stable for whatever reason.

You aren’t beholden to any other countries laws, but such domains are the property of their respective countries and their usaging can be conditional and revoked at any time (see what happened recently with .ml domains). Personally I use a .xyz domain because it’s also very cheap, although I’ve heard that it can make you appear more “suspicious” to antivirus companies and such.

I would recommend checking out Jellyfin (an open-source Plex alternative) to see if it meets your needs, as it’s actually free as opposed to Plex.

I would say that the Intel Core is probably a better choice, although both should be fairly close. Neither will likely be able to do real-time encoding of 4K video though, so you’ll need a GPU if you want to use hardware acceleration.

I really don’t get the hate for it. In an FPS for example, it allows you to quickly aim between far-apart targets by moving the mouse fast, and then home in on them by moving the mouse slow. The same principle applies to pretty much anything that needs accurate, non-consistantly-spaced clicks.

How does it reduce accuracy? It allows you to make very precise movements if you move the mouse slowly, but make large movements very quickly by flicking the mouse instead of needing to pick it up and move it multiple times.

Same idea with video games. There are many game franchises that I never would have gotten into as a kid if I hadn’t been able to pirate them. I usually still pirate games to try them out, and if I end up enjoying it or want features like online play, I might buy it during a Steam sale.

Yeah like… They just tried to cut down on student debt and the conservative supermajority struck it down. There’s literally nothing Biden can do to overrule that.

Rockthrow is a Nazi

I’m guessing it will be backwards compatible. The Wii, Wii U, DS, and 3DS all had backwards compatibility, and the only reason the Switch didn’t is because it has a vastly different architecture from the Wii U (and no space for a disk drive). I can’t imagine that the Switch 2’s architecture will be vastly different from the Switch, and they’ll both presumably use cartridges, so I’d say there’s a very good chance of backwards compatibility.

Honestly, I think the cost of data storage and bandwidth would easily be the biggest hurdle. Video takes up loads more space than text or even images, so I’m not sure if it would be feasible for any volunteer entity to support unlimited free video uploading.

That’s a good question. That guide is specifically for a Chromecast, but maybe casting to another type of device works different, I’m not too familiar with the protocol. Definitely agree that just testing it out to see what happens is the best route
