yukichigai OP , 4 months ago to piracy in I donated some spindles of burned media and programs to Salvation Army expecting they'd throw 'em out. They're selling 'em for $3.

My man.

The thought of burning some BD5s filled with a bunch of new series and/or movies fills me with a joy that's hard to describe. Getting stuff for myself is one thing. Making it easily accessible for others is just a different level entirely. I'd love to know that I've given someone down on their luck countless hours of entertainment for a $3 investment.

yukichigai , 4 months ago to piracy in What are these all caps, bad subtitles?

This, right here. Live Closed Captions are often a fair bit behind the actual video, because when it comes to accessibility it's more important to get the text right than to get the timing right.

Thrift stores are getting in on the piracy game I guess. Can't say I'm disappointed.

Look, I might have better copies now, but if someone wants to spend $3 and get the first 150+ episodes of Bleach and Naruto burned to KDVD I'd say they're gonna walk away happy with the deal they got.

My dude, prices were shooting up well before Biden entered office.

If nothing else, it pretty well cuts off any claims they might make about not being aware they were not in compliance. It speeds cases along once they do get to court, plus there's the prospect of fines, so on.

Done in one.

yukichigai , 4 months ago to games in What games run well with integrated graphics?

I said this elsewhere, but without knowing what specific integrated graphics card you're using (e.g. Intel HD 4000 series) it's hard to give specific recommendations. Generally though there's a range of things that will work:

• Any game released 7+-ish years before the laptop was manufactured.
• Most 2D games released 4+-ish years before the laptop was manufactured.
• Anything that has an Android/iOS version.
• Emulated games for anything from 2 console generations ago or more (e.g. OG Xbox, Playstation 2). Also the PC releases of those games (e.g. Knights of the Old Republic)

yukichigai , 4 months ago to games in What games run well with integrated graphics?

Yeah, we'd need to know the gpu or even vague specs on the laptop to give a good answer.

Even assuming that OP is talking about Intel Integrated Graphics that's still a huge range depending on which series it is.

Yep, specifically a post-scarcity society that is absent the concept of money.

He got better.

The same folks who complain about new Star Trek being ruined by the "woke mind virus" and apparently never watched the original series.

yukichigai , 5 months ago to nostupidquestions in Why does Microsoft want me to upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11?

LTSC also doesn't get incremental updates other than absolutely critical vulnerability fixes. It's specifically meant for machines that need everything to function exactly the same over a long period of time, e.g. point of sale machines, the accounting/inventory machine that hangs out in the back office, so on. You aren't going to get any major update or overhaul pushed to an LTSC version of Windows.

LTSC can also be a pain in the tuchus to get your hands on as an individual. If you have an MSDN account however (like through work or school) they often come with a bunch of keys for Microsoft products, including LTSC products. You can check here, just try logging in with your work/school email - even if it's non-Microsoft - and see what happens.

If you can't get your hands on an LTSC copy, then at a minimum try getting a copy of Windows 10/11 "N", which comes without Windows Media Player and Skype pre-installed. It's nowhere near as clean as LTSC, but every little bit helps.

OK, Boomer.

yukichigai , 5 months ago to piracy in Best website for downloading a pirated copy of Windows?

For the actual Windows image you can legitmately download ISOs for most every version of Windows from Microsoft directly, you just need your browser's user agent to say you're using a non-Windows OS. Since you say you're looking to "test Windows" it sounds like you're on another OS, so you should be able to just download an ISO normally.

On the subject of Sorbo, apparently he had two small strokes during his time on Hercules and that's part of why he went off the rails so damn abruptly.

In other words they're following a playbook written by the brain-damaged, literally. By all means, go on.
