I've been doing it all my life. I've literally never paid for a software license, I don't know any better. In general, I usually download from reputable sources. Haven't had any problems so far.

Does this only relate to things you put into their cloud, or does Photoshop now upload your offline files to Adobe servers as well? By the way, it's always morally correct to pirate Adobe software for personal use. Which also allows

Okay, do do quizzes, but let people google goddamn stuff because that's just how software engineers operate. Don't make it an exam. Don't mimic the worst thing about the education systems. Both in the school and in the univ

You don't even need a credit card if you don't plan to pay for things. I changed my Apple ID country to US with just a fake address.

No unless you jailbreak your iPhone (good luck with that) or re-sign the app every week because that's your only option without a $100/year developer account.

Isn't speculative execution there to do something potentially useful during clock cycles that would've been otherwise wasted?

Well I'm not into sports, and I live in Russia so as you can imagine it'll be a while until we have any large concerts here again. I'm not nearly desperate enough to travel just for a concert, but if one coincides with me bei

It's very unfortunate that this actually works on someone, this means everyone else would have to suffer forever even if it works on 1% of people. I always find those 9-ending prices infuriatingly manipulative. Like you have to actuall

The x65-x75 series ones, aka the "SGold" platform. I still have my CX75. That ELF loader patch was, without doubt, a pinnacle of patch engineering. My next phone was a Nokia 5800, one of the last Symbian ones.

The "proper" way of using ICQ from your phone was Jimm, an unofficial Java client. I was the cool kid with a patched Siemens phone, which could run native apps, so I used NatICQ.elf instead.

Your website does its own "improvements" to scrolling, thus on macOS it feels like I'm scrolling through molasses. It's repulsive even. Please, I beg you, just let the platform do its job. The tablet itself is interestin

There are people who archive old software using modern tools like flux imaging to allow making perfect disk copies. It might be someone noticing data in free space while imaging one of these disks.

My own assumption is that frogs are thinner, with finer lines in the shapes of their bodies, while toads are large, wide, and beefy with short legs. So that's how I made my choices. Wrong choices.

Details matter. Pixelation is fine, but only if the pixels are large enough that there's 1-2 vertically per line of text.
