It’s not only “more”. The company I work for had “record profits, far and beyond anything we were expecting” in 2021. In 2022, we were told that the company made more than in 2021, but didn’t meet the earnings projections. That’s still record profits, but phrased like a loss.

Not only must the line go up, but it has to go up faster than it did before. Nothing less than exponential growth.

This is really just a way to save money on human moderators. I’m pretty sure Thingiverse has always forbidden functional weapons. Now they don’t have to examine each one, they’ll just let the machine deal with it.

You’ll still be able to access content you own

Haha yes, that was never in doubt.

Are you using syncthing-fork on android? If I remember, the primary app discontinued android support, so someone else took it over.

I use it routinely for thousands of files. It’s easier than digging out a USB cable.

Syncthing/Syncthing-Fork. Simply the best cross-system file synchronization app. Peer-to-peer, no cloud storage.

Scrcpy (Screen Copy). App that mirrors your Android phone to Windows. When I switched away from a Samsung phone I lost the ability to run an app from my phone on my PC desktop. This restores that.

Not when the lab and the hospital are owned by the same company. Promedica (local hospital) sent my sample to Promedica (lab) and I got a bill from the lab. Because Promedica (lab) didn’t have my insurance information.

I use this to mirror my android screen to Windows right now. It works well. You can mirror the screen, specify a specific app to run… Very versatile.

A VPN won’t be useful because you’ll have to login to the Usenet server. But (someone please tell me if I’m wrong) I’ve never heard of anyone getting busted downloading stuff from newsgroups.

It probably requires a subscription to a Usenet provider. ISPs used to provide this service in the states, but I haven’t seen that in a long time. Search for USENET PROVIDER or NEWSGROUP PROVIDER to find a service.

You’ll need a service that has ‘binary’ groups. It will also need to provide access to specific groups that people use for games. There are many, many binary groups, and not all providers give you access to all the groups (for good reasons). Something with ‘gamez’ or ‘warez’ in the group title is a good start.

You’ll need newsreader software. I used Forte Agent back in the day. I’m sure there are better readers out there now. It should have NZB support, and PAR file support is important (you’ll want to look up those terms to learn about them).

Usenet is more complicated than torrenting, but I wouldn’t bother with a VPN on Usenet. Since you’ll have a login for access, a VPN wouldn’t help. But in this case the law enforcement target would be the Usenet provider, not the users.

Reputable VPN.

Strong anti-virus/anti-malware.

Common-sense when running cracks/keygens (are keygens still a thing?)

edit: a good backup plan, in case thongs go awry (yes, I see it. Yes, I’m leaving it.)

Sorry, you’re not going to find The Duck Factory anywhere. Despite being Jim Carrey’s first starring roll, it’s just a formulaic 80s sitcom with limited production value and typical period writing.

Sorry, none of those are true.

-GIMP is freeware.

-It’s also open source.

-It’s also free to distribute.

-It’s free to modify.

-It’s even free to sell, as long as you include the source code.

Please explain. How is FOSS not also freeware?

I’m telling you that “I don’t know how to handle either one without actually getting equipment to handle them.”

I don’t know how to handle either one without actually getting equipment to handle them.

I don’t know…

I was kind of hoping someone else had an answer, but now I’m kind of hoping they don’t. Out of spite.

Nobody here said anything about hardware, or emulation.

I think the purple/green tinge is caused by Dolby Vision HDR, not Atmos. Atmos is some kind of surround-sound standard.

There’s a different HDR standard that causes washed out colors (again, I think).

I don’t know how to handle either one without actually getting equipment to handle them.

There is a Safetycore “placeholder” app on github here

https://github.com/daboynb/Safetycore-placeholder

All it does is create an app with the same name in the app list. This should cause an error if Android tries to reinstall Safetycore.

Imagine a federated Reddit with extremely lax (or no) moderation, and files. Access to a Usenet server gives you access to an almost unlimited number of communities discussing almost any topic you can think of, some topics you’ve never heard of, some topics you don’t want to be involved with, and (depending on which server you subscribe to) downloadable files.

I haven’t used one in years, so I have no idea how accurate the previous paragraph still is.

The Count of Monte Cristo is excellent. No movie has done it justice. No movie has come close to doing it justice.

The Three Musketeers Saga is very, very long, and very, very inconsistent in quality.

Moby Dick is really good. Also makes for a good movie, because there’s a lot of stuff about whaling that nobody cares about anymore.

Start with those, I expect a report when you return, along with an essay about what you did during the summer.

Microsoft support has used MAS to activate Windows when they didn’t know how else to do it.

I’ve tested it in several different operating scenarios and have not seen any adverse function.
