Oh look at that. it’s ‘Turns out corporations aren’t your friends’ o’clock.

Happy to help :)

So… z-library? https://z-lib.gs/

The one minority group EVERYONE has a non-zero chance of joining, and the one minority group nobody wants to really think about for that exact reason.

They would rather spend money making hurdles for people like me, my brother, my sister, my aunt, and millions of others to bash against until we give up than to spend that same money and time Helping.

Same boat man. ‘OK I’ll throw a few schmeckles in because the author does need the compensation, but i’m getting the actual book elsewhere.’

Meta, even if you aren’t seeding it still counts, because if you had the books already you wouldn’t need to grab them from elsewhere, and you refusing to seed makes you a fucking leech.

‘We investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoing.’

So where’s the RIAA/MPAA/etc now that it’s a Big Company doing this? They were the ones screaming murder about torrenting in years past. So go on. Go after these guys who are doing piracy on a literally industrial scale.

Considering the voltages and amps going through it is safe to assume those are fairly thick solid copper wires yes.

I’m going to disagree with you on the sentement. We need a better infrastructure for EVs, and non-tesla vehicles can use those charging stations (either via adaptor, or a few use that same plug type.)

oh that isn’t to say I don’t have digital, backed up in a few places. I simply recognize that legally speaking everyone is now outright saying ‘you do not own this we are giving you a license to use it.’

yea no. I am going to ensure my things will go either to my niece, or to those I feel are deserving when i shuffle off this mortal coil.

This isn’t nostalgia. This is ‘Unless i own the physical thing, they can take it away because with digital you never really own it you only have a license to use it.’

Where are all the SHTF Cosplayers?

The real life SHTF isn’t like red dawn or mad max…

Probably some kind of plugin or script to run… i forget the specifics because literally grab the kindle version, then search z-library.

thus I have my personal library backed up on calibre. Wonderful software that’s been around for twenty fiveish years.

I have a few books I bought, but even then, I grab from z-library. More portable and no DRM.

…Yea I’m not buying it.

That they eventually had humans in the loop is great.

I just don’t like cloud based solutions when it’s something as simple as being able to speak and not sound like stephen hawkings or microsoft sam. Plus in a cloud based ‘solution’ they can always keep transcripts.

Arguments can be made over there being better adhesives for the sake of binding, but author needed a thing and super glue was there to provide. Keep the thing away from acetone and things should be fine, right?

Account restoration or not, this is proof that we should hurry up and get to the point where voice modeling doesn’t need to be done ‘in the cloud.’

Yes the technology can be misused. However there are a variety of instances where someone needs to have a voice to hand.

Trouble is it’s more profitable for these companies to pay per use and you can’t charge for using something that’s completely working on the client’s machine.

Thanks for the ‘for dummies’ explanation.

Hey can someone dumb down the dumbed down explanation for me please?
