Yeah, seems like that every year the age of games that are considered "retro" keeps increasing. Now it is at least ~25 years or so.

There are only 2 types of people who are interested in pictures of kids: 1. Their friends and relatives - it's easy to share those pictures with them privately. 2. All sorts of creeps.

Autodesk bought Softimage|XSI and then simply killed it after a few years. It's crazy that they can get rid of their competitors this easily. Another reason why I recommend all 3D artists to learn Blender. Nobody can buy and then kill

The BSA has been active here for more than 2 decades now. And they cooperate with local law enforcement. Pirated software can easily cost tens of thousands of dollars - so the cops simply can't ignore financial crimes this big. I'

The BSA runs a "snitch" program that disgruntled employees and competitors can use to report pirated software. This is how many businesses get raided. The person that I know also suspects that his company got raided because someon

I had to shut down the X server and then run the driver installer from command line. And then start the X server again. That definitely isn't necessary on Windows. Also, it doesn't really matter if 80-90% of games work if the one

16 year old games were considered "retro" when Crysis came out. Crysis came out 16 years ago.

That wasn't enough - I had to shut down the X server to install the driver properly. I make software that runs on Linux exclusively for a living. I know very well how Linux works. It is still necessary to run stuff from the terminal fr

It's not wise to use cracked software for business. Someone might talk, and your office could get raided by the cops. Yes - that happens in places like Eastern Europe too - some people that I know found this out the hard way.

When I last tried to use Linux - I was not able to install GPU drivers without using the terminal. Sorry, but that's not a drop-in replacement.

Thank god there's Blender so 3D artists don't have to pay the ridiculous price for 3ds max and Maya. (Why the hell was Autodesk allowed to buy Maya?)

The TV licence is just another tax.

It's possible to call emergency numbers without a SIM card. So the caller could use a disposable dumb phone that he bought on a flea market or whatever. The best info the cops could get would be the approximate location of the caller.

Many countries have TV and Radio channels that are funded by the state. The UK has BBC, for example.

Of course it got sold. The seller was completely honest about the condition of the property.

Every single game that's available on GOG has no DRM. Including very popular ones like Cyberpunk 2077 and the Witcher series.

Just because someone is an immigrant himself doesn't mean that he doesn't hate other immigrants.

True. They could get away with it in countries that aren't friendly with the West and that don't extradite. But the problem is that they could no longer travel to the West. Oligarchs that aren't being sanctioned and aren&#x27

But Starlink would have no reason to exist in the first place if it didn't offer service in those remote places.

You can resell normal paintings and show them to others. In many cases there's also a reward for any information regarding the stolen artwork. So that makes it even harder to resell those artworks.

But why would that Picasso have any value? You can't show it to others and it's difficult to resell it. And if the cops find out that you have it - they will confiscate it.

Does it count as a waste if their main selling point is to deliver internet access to places that are hard or impossible to reach otherwise?

Does that mean that there are no self-service gas stations in Oregon?

Those empty cores could be repurposed as storage areas though. Those don't require windows.

The problem is that many offices - especially open plan offices - are difficult to convert to living spaces. Few people would want to live in a windowless apartment.

Yup. Soon after the war started our parliament passed a law that specifically legalised this.

Any physical assault is potentially life threatening. One unlucky fall on the pavement and that's it - you can easily die or become permanently disabled. Yet another reason why it's better to deescalate and/or run away if pos

In my country it's legal to go to Ukraine and fight on the Ukrainian side. But fighting on the Russian side is illegal and is punishable by long prison terms even if you didn't commit any war crimes there. That applies to all resi
