Yes I did the same thing at my uni halls, said fuck paying for multi device, bought a router, named it like a phone hot-spot and never had issues.

In reality no one that works there is paid nearly enough to care about the ISP’s terms and conditions, and even if someone from the ISP comes to do maintainance or something, they won’t be there to snoop for rule breakers and even if they are, if the SSID looks like a phone hot-spot, they won’t care, and even if they do they’re not going to trace it back to you directly and even if they do, you have the email saying its okay which will shift any and all blame away from you.

So just go for it, there’s a 99.999999999999999999% chance you won’t get caught and even if you do you won’t get any blame because you asked the company.

Where the fuck does yahoo even get money from to do this kind of shit at this point?

Average Linux user when you tell them you actually like using Windows.

No, they’re transitioning to different use bases that don’t give a shit when they’re screwed over.

Go to reddit now and it’s celebrity drama, pop music, and Indian sub reddit. Oh and Love Island.

Yes it does? As far as I’m aware even Linux can’t apply updates to an active system.

1. So does windows for the most part

2. Do you know how often users actually restart their machines without being forced?

I get your a Linux user, but do you really not understand what a joke is?

And now using Linux is officially cringe.

You know, part of me wants to believe there was actually nothing malicious going on here and when this all went down some guy at Sony was just very surprised this turned out to be a big deal and wa just kinda like “if it matters that much to you we just won’t do it I guess, idc.”

I literally dont understand keyboard hobbyists, like at this point youre just being different for the sake of being different.

It’s that easy.

I’m guessing you’re not a programmer yourself? Because it’s really really not that east to /just/ detect in the server side, hacks can be super sofisticsted these days and there are often many client side exploits that you simply cannot detect serverside.

I mean that only matters for people like us.

99.99% of the Windows user base doesn’t give the tiniest semblance of a shit about any of that. Hell I run Windows on my gaming pc still and have never had cause to do any of that.

Okay, well you are free to enjoy having your device bricked whenever the company you bought it from wants to.

It’s not wrong to think people are stupid for wanting pointlessly internet connected things either.

Unhinged comment.

This is cool, but honestly kind of a deranged question to ask.

Bro didn’t even spend two weeks of his life fucking around with different distros and trying various workarounds and hacks trying to get them to work with his games before he just went back to playing games on a system he knows works. Aight

Maybe because people just don’t care for unsolicited “advice” from Linux nerds?

A Linux meme that’s somewhat critical of Linux?

I wonder what the comments will be like…

But you understand that’s a massive Ballache to deal with on top of your normal workload?
