The big issue is that the console companies are generally more active in targeting people on more active consoles, and are incredibly strict if you’re caught cheating. Just being connected to psn on a hacked ps3 runs you a very real risk of getting an account ban. I can only imagine they’re far more active in banning ps4/ps5 users who are running hacked firmware. And Idk if there’s been any major hacks on the Xbox side of things.
As a side note, if you want to see a cluster fuck of every hack and cheat imaginable, hit up the original splatoon servers on Wii u. It’s honestly completely insane how much people have broken it
From my experience, it largely depends on how online multi-player is handled. Things that require game-specific accounts or have drm tied to an account like steam, it won’t work. But a lot of stuff on console works fine since it’s presumed that the anti-piracy has already happened. I play plenty of pirated games online on 3ds, Wii u, and psvita
The image, which has since been removed, doesn’t give away too much. However. Warner Bros. is clearly alarmed by the leak. The movie studio has a history of cracking down on the unauthorized distribution of leaked material and this is no exception.
Fair point, but unless you’re just interested in seeing something do poorly, leaks can absolutely fuck over somethings chances of success, often with no particular benefit.
If it works on your end, no reason to stop using it. The reason they suggested to move elsewhere is because, at the time, there was no indication that j2k had any plans for continued development. Might’ve changed since they put that out, but that’s what they sajd
They didn’t even fucking try the bare minimum of just refusing to comply. Besides, it’s such a comically baseless case by some fucking worthless gook company. It doesn’t cost tens of thousands of dollars to tell them to shove it up their ass, at the bare minimum.
I mean the eff can only do so much to defend people who didn’t even fucking bother in the slightest to defend themselves and just rolled over at every turn
if I went to a library or something, and torrent a file, nobody would be able to tell who it was as its a public place and the library couldn’t be held accountable. thoughts?
For the purposes of practicality, you’re probably safe so long as you don’t have to log in using credentials tied to you. They simply aren’t going to care enough, and will likely just put up some network restrictions if they get a letter from the isp.
But for the purposes of security, yes, you can absolutely be identified. For one, if your device Mac address isn’t spoofed, they can just see what device you used, and skim security footage for someone using it in the right time frame. Even without that, they can just see who was there for the amount of time you were connected, and find you that way. Especially if you do anything that would identify yourself while there (like use a library card).
So I was looking into getting port forwarding set up and I realized just how closed-off the internet has gotten since the early days. It’s concerning. It used to be you would buy your own router and connect it to the internet, and that router would control port-forwarding and what-have-you....
Yesterday there was a controversial movie torrent that was getting 1000s of downloads and was on the “popular this week” page, and today it’s just gone. I went to the uploader’s account page and it’s not there either. Just like it never existed....
It largely depends on what the online functionality does. Pirating software that heavily relies on external servers as opposed to your machine isn’t really feasible. But if it’s just a phone home to verify, someone has probably cracked it
Vimms lair is a good choice, though i don’t think they’re in .chd by default, rather just .iso, or a compressed .iso format. It’s highly consistent in naming conventions, and has a pretty damn near full collection. Main downside is limited downloading speed, and no concurrent downloads, but if you’re just looking to download games you’re interested in and not every ps1 game, it should be fine
I’ve been on and off been having issues connecting to seeds and peers for anything I download with qbit lately. I have ProtonVPN and I am connected to p2p servers, some torrents are stuck at 0(0) whereas some will be stuck at 0(2817)....
The way these strikes happen is that the right holder (or usually just some company on their behalf) joins public torrents for their content, and grabs every ip that connects. It’s entirely possible that in the few seconds you had qbit open without a vpn, enough of the program had initialized that the basics of joining the swarm started, and your ip got seen.
I apologize if this is already answered somewhere but I’m curious what exactly a fitgirl repack is? I know it’s a pirated version of a game but like is it just an installer or something? And if you imported the game into steam for example can you be “banned” or VAT (idr the term)
I mean yeah, decompression is resource intensive, but it’s still retarded to say that the goal of it is to overstress your computer, especially considering that any reasonable setup will throttle itself before just burning up
