Oh no
Thought to have been an ordinary falling star.
Oh no
Pretty sure I was fooling around with LimeWire at that age
I don’t see you contributing much of value either…
At the risk of seeming to throw shade; why use Brave at all if you’re going to switch off all its unique features?
My dad had a Raspberry Pi running Kodi, complete with a bunch of Totally Legit plugins which allowed him to watch anything he wanted. Thought it was legal and above board because… wait for it… it’s open-source
My dad got into Kazaa in the mid-00s, then Limewire, before discovering Mininova and TPB. Just kinda saw what he was doing and thought it was interesting. (We were often told not to touch the computer as it’d “knock off his download”…)
I seem to recall one of the first things I pirated was… er, Pirates of the Caribbean, which I watched with my friends huddled round my laptop. Quality times.
Would an alias solve this?
That’s pretty impressive. I’m especially surprised about the 8GB RAM considering that was a lot even in the early 2010s.
Must’ve been an office with money, then…
Could spend your 12 hours making it run! Plenty of tinkering opportunity there :D
If it’s an office desktop, we’re probably talking a low-end Intel Pentium with 256MB RAM. If there is a discrete graphics card, it’ll be one of those ultra-basic ones, but chances are it’ll be onboard only. There’s probably a CD-ROM drive (DVD drives were still quite expensive!) and USB 2.0.
I think they’re referring more to the aspect ratio - watching a 16:9 film on a 4:3 display isn’t the most optimal method, to put it charitably
Mid-2000s? SC3K would run easily, I’d have thought. SC4, on the other hand…
Sounds alright to me… Might have to go to https://cheese.town afterwards, though.
Transmission does
It’s probably a typo
