Durotar, w What's the deal with Steamunlocked.net?
@Durotar@lemmy.ml avatar

From their FAQ:

Pre-installed means that the game is already installed for you, so you don’t have to. This means all you need to do is download the .zip file, extract it, and run the game. That’s it! Easy, right?

squaresinger,

So they just call it pre-installed because they zip it? Oh well…

Nerd02,

Nah they call it pre-installed because you don’t have to run an installation wizard yourself, which requires administrator permissions. So you could play those games on computers where you don’t have admin access, like a school or work laptop

CraigeryTheKid,

It’s similar to “portable” versions of software. You just run the .exe and of you go.

DarkwinDuck, w What's the best way to get German content?

mygully dot com. You need to log in but it has a lot of stuff. Not via torrent usually tough.

PeachMan, w What about non-torrents sites serving cracked software?
@PeachMan@lemmy.one avatar

If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is. It’s possible that this site you found is perfectly safe, but it’s also very possible that it’s a honeypot or they’re serving up their cracks with a side of malware. I would recommend known torrent websites and reputable crack builders. Running a custom, unsigned .exe is already a risky activity, don’t make it more dangerous.

Devjavu, w What about non-torrents sites serving cracked software?

Some possible issues are:

It could be a honeypot. While this likely won’t be the case, if you connect to a website and download directly from there, depending on your browser and os, general privavy and anonymity, they might be able to fingerprint you. Check against some other databases from sites that you visited today that have your real name and you’re bust. Unlikely, but possible.

If the website gets shut down because of suspicion of malicious activity and they intentified visitors, again, through a fingerprint or similar, it’s beasically the same as a honeypot.

So basically, the complexity of modern web browsing is the general issue. How do you circumvent this? Ideally you don’t. Just use a torrent with a p2p VPN in a secure and anonymous manner and you don’t even have to worry about your Javascript canvas.

You lay out a highly sophisticated attack when it’s simple to adjust the downloaded software to call home. Why would anyone invest that much into something like that (you left out where “some other databases” would be and how reliable they would be) when there are much simpler and more reliable approaches?

Devjavu,

I gave examples you twat

TheCaconym, w What about non-torrents sites serving cracked software?

For decades there have been a wide variety of shady filehosts that will happily host content with no regard for IP and offer downloading for the same (good for them). They manage to make money by offering “premium” subscriptions that allow to download without having to wait / bandwidth limitation (these days you even have services that try to mutualize such premium accounts between users for a smaller fee, using their proxy to serve their own users). For just as long there have been websites that index those direct filehost links, and make money through either ads or members donations. It’s an alternative to torrenting. Gog-games is an example of such an indexing website (there are many, many others). 1fichier is an example of the filehosters I mentioned above (same remark).

To answer your question, the reason they don’t go down is they routinely operate in jurisdictions that are hard to act on by LE in the imperial core; they also often pay lip service to DMCA requests by actually removing content after reports, though they’ll almost universally make the process complicated, long, and pretty useless (not removing identical files reachable from other links, for example).

Can only help with the last point - Nvidia Shield is a beast. I have two of the 2019 Pro and they’re just great, nothing comes even close. I’ve also had the 2017 version and it was great as well. Can’t speak for the base model, haven’t had a chance to try.

noctisatrae,

So it’s snappy and allows for sideloading ? To what extent can you remove the bloat of Google, privacy-wise?

Sharpiemarker,

It’s android, a you can set your own launcher rather than using Nvidia’s.

WeAreAllOne,

LineageOs is your friend. They have a rom for Nvidia Shield which I use for the last year 😉

narc0tic_bird, w what's the best way to get F1TV in the UK?

Have you tried watching F1TV without a VPN after registering?

Works for me, even though F1TV Pro isn’t normally available where I’m from.

“block YouTube ads using a flaw in the Google Protocol Buffer”… until google fixes it, that is.

Still, super cool finding!

You can jailbreak it and play homebrew games, aka pirated games and play game mods.

Thanks!

Is there any particularly good guide I should use, or just what I find on ddg?

svamp,

I have found Modded Warfares videos quite helpful for jailbreaking.

airman, w Japanese content

AnimeTosho. Have fun ❤️

WeAreAllOne,

Thank you! Seems that everyone recommends anime sites. Do you happen to know any site for regular Japanese movies and series?

airman,

You’re welcome!

I checked and you are right. I assumed they mirrored everything on Nyaa but it seems they don’t.

What about the usual? DS, Planet, and Geek?

WeAreAllOne,

Geek has quite a collection of…anime haha tv series is a tough one. Will keep looking 👍😀

airman,

Do share if you find any, friend 😁

WeAreAllOne,

Rename it to something else, see if it still works, if not revert, else it is needed.

Ok, will try it.

I will edit it in the post itself.
