Curious, where in Singapore do you live? Last time I tried Prime, it usually took a few days for them to ship my stuff, even with Prime listings that were fufilled by Amazon SG. To be fair, it was a year or so ago, so maybe things have changed, but I thought that next-day shipping was only a US thing 🤷‍♂️

Looks like Amazon wants to close off this year with yet another rent-seeking episode. Thankfully I don’t use Amazon, but my parents still pay for Prime specifically for their streaming service, so this is going to be very annoying for them :/

Not sure if they allow this in Pakistan, but can’t you use PayPal to pay for Spotify? This support article says you can, alongside gift cards and mobile payments

Interesting - I’ve visited this site before on my phone, and there’s usually a button below the ‘Disable my adblocker’ button, allowing you to bypass the message. Guess they’ve changed it :/

That’s an over-exaggeration - the telemetry in Audacity is literally just opt-in error reporting, and the server is self-hosted by the developer. Source

This is a stupid question, but is this a port of the actual missions from C&C/Red Alert, or just inspired by them?

Wow, a car stereo with a large display like that is surprisingly advanced for 1985! I wonder if this is really a CRT, or a multi-segment display made to look like one

I’ve looked around malware link scrapers (ex. URLhaus) before, and I recall seeing that a large portion of the malware links were hosted on Discord, especially trojans. Although it will break a lot of legitimate shared files, I respect them for fixing this security issue

Nice, that’s exactly what I’m looking for! Thanks

It’s a shame the UK’s Competitive Markets Authority let this merger go through after all. I can’t wait for the future, when 90% of the most popular games are made by 3 companies

What about the about:profiles page?

Rutracker has a lot of ISO rips, maybe start there?

Oh no, you’re all good, it’s just that this may not work for new people trying this soon. If you activated already, then it should stick until you change your computer’s motherboard

Good to see them fix this so quickly, but what’s stopping Microsoft from blocking HWID activations on a GVLK? After all, those keys would normally be activated through a KMS instead of Microsoft, so it’s clearly abnormal behaviour

To expand on this, most of the developers who make these jailbreaks openly disavow their use for piracy, and focus more on homebrew applications. Since Microsoft lets you sideload any app you want in Dev Mode, there’s no incentive to unlock Retail Mode, whereas other console makers have no such system and thereby get targeted more

I swear, we need a version of r/savedyouaclick on Lemmy at some point.

Also, I thought this feature was already released? I’ve been using it for the better half of this year.

Nice! As a former user of their Lemmy instance, I’m glad they’re back on here

It’s not so simple, unfortunately. The sheer amount of data they have - 212 PB as of December 2021 - makes it practically impossible for most people to mirror. Unless they physically hand over all 745 server nodes to another operator, there’s no way of someone

There are some solutions to this - for example Archive-Team has proposed a method of mirroring the Internet Archive using distributed clients, although this method currently only has a fraction of the total dataset. Still, at this point in time, there’s no real solution to resharing IA’s data in the event they go under

That only helps for shadow libraries whose operators are unknown. The Internet Archive, on the other hand, is a registered non-profit organisation, so how would they be able to hide themselves?

For the paid tier, yes, but the free tier is locked to 160
