Car enthusiasts are much more welcoming and helpful than computer experts. Just look at stack exchange.
You can usually find step by step instructions for fixing most cars. My library has a subscription to Chilton online, so I can use it from home and look at repair procedures and wiring diagrams. Just use forums and YouTube to fill in the gaps. I’ve even diagnosed a car from Amazon reviews since I suspected a certain part was bad and looked at reviews that said the exact symptoms.
What really chaps my ass is when they don’t bother to tell you. It always happens when I’m filling out a form and find out that the submit button just doesn’t do anything. Then I have to go back through chrome just to fill out the same form a second time.
It is infringement if you’re sharing the files, but if you make a copy for yourself, then it’s considered fair use. See: Sony Corp. of America v. Universal City Studios, Inc.
Internet isn’t always available, such as in an airplane or someone might not want to give access to the Internet to their child but wants to give them video or audio on a tablet. They can legally copy the content and watch it later.
There are legal issues with software that is solely designed to bypass drm, but that only applies to the software creator, not the user.
That isn’t piracy. It’s time shifting, and it’s perfectly legal to do it.
I had one that intentionally detected a VM and just gave a message that said “Hello :)” and wouldn’t load.
Car parts. I can have a part in two days, it’s the same part that the parts store carries, but 1/4 the price. Fuck them parts stores.
There’s is pretty much one sketchy site for this stuff I can’t remember the name of it, but I think it requires a payment to access downloads. Almost all pirated car software comes from eastern Europe.
Shouldn’t you be paying the people who built your house royalties then?
Is your device rooted already? If it is, then you can copy the entire disk to a Linux PC using dd. If it’s not rooted then your only option is to copy your personal files and nothing else.
Create a medicat USB and clone the old drive to the new one.
In the us there is a 3 year statute of limitations by law. A 2014 supreme court decision stated that “laches” could still be applied in very narrow cases.
Copyright and other laws will be different for other countries.
I think there must be some legal worry if they don’t enforce their copyright so they have to pretend to care about low level piracy.
Legally, you’re allowed to make copies of games that you own and use them in an emulator. You can download mods, play multiplayer across the Internet when servers get shut down and also take advantage of better hardware and get better resolution and framerates, then there are quality of life improvements like savestates.
