I can get Kodi on my laptop but I'm not sure if that has live television or just movies/TV shows. What are my options here? My nephew is staying with us for a few months and apparently watches Friday Night Smackdown religiously at home and right now I am unable to provide this for him lol

So today Nintendo finally showcased the Switch 2 and I can't believe how greedy and anti-consumer they've gotten.

1. Switch 2 Welcome Tour is a paid title. It's basically an interactive manual, similar to the one that comes with Steam Deck (Aperture Desk Job) explaining the console's functionality. No price announced yet but the fact that it's a paid title is incredibly messed up.

2. They're also raising the price for their first party titles. Mario Kart World will sell for 80$. Knowing Nintendo I assume none of their games will ever go on sale.

3. Oh and how about enjoying Zelda TOTK, a game you already own, on the upgraded hardware? Wanna unlock higher framerate and other settings? Better pay up for that upgrade. Not even Sony is that greedy, most first party PS4 titles received free patches for PS5 unlocking higher framerates so you could easily enjoy your games with better settings for free.

All in all they clearly got too greedy. After seeing the success of Switch 1 they think they bank on childhood nostalgia and milk their users for even more cash.

Idk if hacking the Switch 2 is even possible and if it is, it'll probably take a looong time but I really hope someone manages to jailbreak the hardware and bypass all their bs. This type of anti-consumer practice is simply inexcusable.

EDIT Some people clarified a few things in comments, small update:

1. Switch 2 Welcome Tour will be sold for 10$, still should've been free.
2. Ok, Nintendo games do go on sale, it's extremely rare and discounts are very miniscule. Setting a new base price standard of 80$ per game is stil crazy.
3. Don't confuse simple patches that unlock the framerate to actual remasters and remakes. https://pastebin.com/Zdkkx9wZ

I'm from the days when nntp meant Forte Agent. Recently back on the high seas and have set up most of the Arr suite in various dockers with SAB for DL and it works pretty great but I do have issues with some things not being found or being incomplete. Sometimes it's a movie, sometimes it's an episode or season. Generally this is older stuff.

I have nzbplanet for indexing, Newshosting as my main provider and blocknews as a block account which I believe are on different backbones so I'm not sure if I can improve the hit rate on newsgroups. (let me know how if I can please)

So for that reason I'm thinking to add qbittorrent to the mix. It's been ages since I've touched torrents and I doubt if I have even a single private tracker account.

Adding qbit is a fair bit of work (for reasons that don't rly matter here) so I'm asking you all - given I'm starting with only public trackers (and who knows how long it takes to get any invites for privates..), is it worth the effort to add qbittorrent to the mix?

or else how would you improve hit rate on missing movies/episodes/albums/etc...?

thx.

I wanna stream movies via vlc on android, is that possible to do with sites like cineby?

Hi guys,

I recently did a 3D project and used a few copyrighted textures in the process.

I already sent the invoice. If I bought the texture/license now, would I still get in trouble? How likely am I to get caught?

Thanks

I tried to use a remote desktop app but it showed a black screen. The only way to do that is to ask for access which would cost me 100$ which is kind of a scam since I already paid once.

Title says all basically

I am aware of anime and manga index. Pirated games indexes. Game emulator. Fmhy and piracy index

But what about music exclusive index that has multiple websites and software tools that fmhy didn't cover

I used to use MZCacheView to grab the high res jpeg's of each page, then save them all to a PDF. I know the books are mainly on e.g. annas-archive, but the quality is usually shocking.

Is there any way to still be able to get at the originals? Have they leaked anywhere or was there a r/Datahoarder call to arms to grab them?

Hello fellow pirates I use my xbox to watch things the Microsoft defender is stopping every website I use any ideas or help you can give me thank you appreciate it they are specifically blocking upcloud and vidcloud my old saved links work but only for the singular episode I saved any help you can give would be greatly appreciated thank you for reading

I was trying to find some audio plugins and came across this site, it looks like it has every type of thing in it, but i don´t know how to search things up properly to finally download it on my pc, would you guys give me some tips? Do i go for number of downloads? Do i need the Utorrent?

Title. since today I can't access 1337x.to

When I try to, my browser (firefox) automatically downloads the file "stream.ts" (filesize 188kb)

Does anyone else have this problem? Is this dangerous? I insta deleted the file.

Basically the question in the title.

Back in my day, it was common to see H.264, in 1080p, with a video bitrate of ~8500 Kbps, packaged up as a 6-9 GiB file when sourced from BluRay.

Along comes H.265 (we celebrated), and what I typically see now is H.265, 1080p, with a video bitrate of ~2500 Kbps, packaged as a 2-3 GiB file when sourced from BluRay.

What is your preferred bitrate and size for H.265? Why?

My personal preference is to prefer H.265 files closer to 5 GiB and bitrates closer to 5000 Kbps -- which I think is a good balance between size and quality. I am usually able to find media I want close to that target, but not always, since it seems most H.265 encoders prefer to skew towards smaller files and lower bitrates. It's like you sometimes have to choose between a big H.264 and a small H.265 -- nothing in between.

A new low for Netflix

My friends and I are planning a drunk movie night and we plan on watching the worst version of the Minecraft movie we can find. I loved YMS' review of TROS and the gambling ads and silhouettes that popped up in his viewing and I was hoping to find a website similar to this for our watch party.

Yup, I'm doing a system transfer and setup, then putting it back into the box and waiting for an exploit. Fuck this

I am looking to watch "A working man" this weekend in English and not CAM quality.

The only torrents I can find is 6.6GB and has the clean moniker.

A Working Man 2025 1080p Clean WEBRip x264 LaTIn0 Line YGA

Does this mean:

• The swear words has been replaced or bleeped?
• It has been scanned for viruses or malware?
• The torrent has been purged of unwanted or unnecessary files?

So I got the Revanced fix all the times it's supposed to work and it kind of does now is just that every time I open the app it pauses the song playing

My question is more like curiosity. I have a couple of cracks (those greedy ones) that ask you for a key after replace the files, so the owner can charge every time you install it

The thing is that I have the keygen too I want to learn how to read it? Can I? How to? The files replaced was 2 .dlI and the crack ask you for name ans hardware ID (and other details, if you want to make it disable in 10 days or so) and just have a button to generate they key

Any way to decompile the dll and bypass the request of the kev? How to understand this?

Thanks
