In theory, having a whole new button would be nice. But understand that games are specifically designed around the 18+1 button setup and there is rarely a need for a 19th and a 20th. And if I am going full steam craziness: I tend to prefer modal mappings at that point anyway.
I could see something like a flight sim or an elite game benefiting from ALL THE BUTTONS but… at that point I want the HOTAS form factor. Or we are talking something like the x series where everyone knows the game is meant to be m+kb but we still try to make it work.
Fortunately I live in a country where they don’t care about piracy, but maybe I misspelled the question, I meant “sure” it can’t contain some kind of virus.
And I guess you won the lawsuit? On Reddit I remember that people would commonly say they got those law suits but people would always suggest “don’t do anything about it because they were just warnings”.
Yeah, “don’t do anything” is horribly advice, at least in Germany.
I managed to avoid the lawsuit by showing the lawyers who wanted to fleece me that I had legal representation and collected enough evidence in my favor to make it difficult.
All they had was a file and an IP address.
It was a back-and-forth of letters between me, them and the court, which eventually refused to formally open a trial.
It doesn’t necessarily have to be a complete iso, but a part of the “Linux ISO” is enough. Since your still helping others complete their “ISO” illegally.
Yes, I hired a lawyer for consultation.
Since I was very poor at the time, I could get the cost for it reimbursed from the state, after laying bare my finances in front of a judge.
As for the seriousness, the legal firm moving against me had opened a case before a court in Munich (500km from where I lived) and I had to plead my case in writing to the court.
Next step after a lot of legalese back and forth would have been a summons before the court in person, which didn’t happen. The letters just stopped.
In the end, I paid 60€ for fees and postage. They had wanted me to pay 2000€ to settle and my lawyer told me if it goes before a judge, worst probable outcome would have been 600€ in court and lawyer fees.
Yes it’s inexcusable in my opinion that they want over 1000€ for a single movie. 600€ is still a lot of money but asking so much more than the “damage” is obviously worth is just…
I heard of some people who actually paid the fine they were asked for, since they didn’t know better (it wasn’t them but an exchange student from a country where torrenting media isn’t an issue, or so they said).
If it’s for multimedia content, it’s safe, I guess. I have been downloading movies and series from that page for 5 years, and I have never had any security problems.
Good to know! I know it’s stupid and not at all the case, but I had read about a virus that ran on an old version of Windows when you open a file because Windows needed to compile the file to open it and the exploit took advantage of a vulnerability in that compiler to rescale to admin permissions, and I think about that when downloaded this serie.
You don't even need a hacked version. Just use an older version. Besides, Firefox is open source, I'm sure someone would fork off an adblock allowed version.
The GameSir T4k has them but I think they can only be mapped to existing buttons. I map them to left/right stick press.
Very nice affordable controller with hall effect analog sticks.
I remember having a tough time choosing between the Wolverine v2 and the Victrix Gambit a while back when I needed a controller. I eventually went with the Gambit and I haven’t regretted it. It has two swappable paddle pieces so you can choose between having either two paddles or four.
The best alternative is one that you can self-host and/or isn’t centralized.
My favorite option right now is torrents-csv.ml, since it’s “a collaborative repository of torrents, consisting of a searchable torrents.csv file.”
Basically, the author of the project scrapes the torrent DHT network and compiles a csv of all the torrent magnet links into a CSV file that’s searchable on this site. You can selfhost your own private instance of the site by following the instructions on the repository here: git.torrents-csv.ml/heretic/torrents-csv-server
I saw it a bit of time ago… how safe it is? The access is not centralized, but the data it gets in it is, right? Or it is a service in the same webserver the one that does the scraping?
Will look into it when I got time… always is docker, jeez…

Is that accurate? Where is DHT mentioned?
Neither their github nor their main site makes any mention of DHT, also don’t see any DHT scraper in the git page git.torrents-csv.ml/heretic but maybe I’m not looking in the right place?
