It started out as The Learning Channel, now it’s just TLC.

Resilio hasn’t been issue-free for my use case, but it hasn’t been destructive like Syncthing has. I thought the Syncthing stuff was just me, but I’ve seen similar accounts from some people online.

Hard disagree. I’ve had so many issues with Syncthing deleting files and refusing to connect over LAN that I’ve never had with Resilio Sync.

I’d probably consult a lawyer.

They can’t (legally) deny you entry into the US, but they might make your life hell when re-entering. Bring a burner phone with you in case they take your phone. Don’t keep anything even remotely political saved on there.

Even if it’s a recent phone, new flagship phones cost less than a month’s rent in many places. It’s not like phones are unattainable for homeless people.

Especially since 2 Americans with multiple generations of American ancestry can have drastically different historical experiences.

Oftentimes (but not always), free stuff has a lower budget and lower amounts of effort put into it by fewer people. This often results in a worse product.

Why not legally cross? It’s not that hard to do so.

There’s 1 in most major cities. I love Micro Center to death, but I sincerely doubt that most Americans live within 20 or 30 minutes of one.

No, it’s because there’s a lottery system that has been backlogged for decades. US immigration is such a bad process that skilled people go to Canada instead because the government there actually values those people.

Bro skilled people wanting to become US residents or citizens have to wait an absurd amount of time to even have a chance

Not saying it’s fake, but point 4 is a good way of spreading misinformation on the internet

That’s really good to know. I still think my statement stands true if you exclude cheese and wine, and it’s pretty easy to find vegetarian options for many common desserts.

We’d run out of companies though

As a vegetarian in the US, restaurants here have gotten way better about dietary restrictions over the years. Yes, some places still do mislead, but the vast majority usually ask you and the kitchen about ingredients and accommodate accordingly.

Where did I say “oh well, nothing we can do?” You’re literally tying random arguments to my name.

Nobody here made the argument that what is legal is exactly what is fair. Nobody here made the argument that Nintendo being overly litigious is a good thing. The only argument made is that copyright law is flawed because companies abuse it and that lawmakers need to fix it.

He never said that creating an emulator was illegal. He said that Nintendo is legally in the clear to do what they did. In Yuzu’s case, Nintendo sued and both parties settled, and they reached an “agreement” with Ryujinx to take down its emulator.

As far as I’m aware, the Yuzu case isn’t settled law as it calls into question whether the use of dumped keys to “bypass” copy protections is legal under the DMCA. This question isn’t about emulation, even if it’s a step required for emulation to be possible.

Since there are many issues with copyright law right now, corporations have a free pass to bully people in a multitude of ways, and the Yuzu lawsuit and Ryujinx “agreement” are just new ways of doing the same thing. All OP is saying is that lawmakers need to re-create copyright and IP laws to make them more fair and make sense so that content creators and/or homebrew devs and/or fangame creators and/or emulator devs can do their work with a far less shaky legal foundation.

I didn’t know that Secret Service was mandatory for former US Presidents.

As someone with few USBs available, Ventoy takes me 2 minutes to flash, several minutes to copy a set of ISOs, and then any time I need it, it takes 0 minutes to have a working USB with some arbitrary ISO. Sure, it’s not up to date, but I don’t need it to be if I need to recover an install or use some random tool.

Defcon is a useful resource for networking and learning. It being run by and for good guys doesn’t mean bad guys don’t find the event useful. The vague risk of “getting caught” is probably worth taking, regardless of whether that risk is tangible, especially if they follow proper security practices.
