Denuvo m’a fait faire des économies.
Simplement en me faisant pas acheter les jeux protégés par cette merde qui me considère comme étant un pirate parce que j’ai eu le malheur de lancer la démo d’un jeu (Stellar Blade) dans le train, sans connexion Internet. Denuvo qui m’a affiché un code d’erreur exigeant que ce jeu solo hors-ligne se connecte à Internet pour certifier que c’est une version légitime du jeu.
Le jeu. Solo. Doit se connecter à Internet. Pour prouver. Version légitime.
Ya pas un problème dans ce raisonnement ?

Is there a good way of stripping DRM from kindle ebooks these days, without actually owning a kindle device ? Ive been a bit confused on the state of kindle DRM ever since they killed downloads and the kindle for PC app; and im not a regular of the amazon ecosystem these days.
I keep staring at a few kindle exclusives, and im kinda tempted, if I can find a way to decrypt them. #ebooks #drm #ebook #ereader #kindle #amazon #DefectiveByDesign
EDIT: Thanks for the boosts, I seem to have gotten the current terrible news here: https://mastodon.social/@AKK666/115923850408526370

When repairing and re-using things becomes illegal:
Dear users/customers of such tech:
**this is unsustainable**
+ causes burnout and depression of anyone still wanting to make sense in this world.

I queried Claude.ai to help out a customer with disconnection problems using a Samsung 65 inch TV.
This turns out to be Defective By Design.
😡😡
Based on my search, yes, Samsung TVs do have a known issue with Bluetooth pairing when powered off:
The Disconnection Problem
When Samsung TVs turn off, Bluetooth devices disconnect and won't reconnect automatically unless you pair them again each time (Best Buy) . This is unfortunately by design

@thibaultamartin @cas Hm, interesting, so you're saying #aosp is so complicated it has effectively become non-free software since it can't practically be modified and shared without a major corporation or state to support it? Do you think that's a #defectivebydesign thing? Or will #postmarketos eventually face the same issues once it grows large enough and has as many features and users?

If buying isn't owning, then piracy isn't stealing!
