Piracy is cool, but I prefer to use community-driven software rather than ones driven by corporate profits. I prefer a model where many can contribute to it, fork it, and for which making integrations is much easier thanks to its openness.
Do you donate for the efforts?
Yes
Not OP but still good.
It takes many small efforts to make a big change! :)
Hell yeah
Not that I condone piracy, but I thought photoshop switched to a SaaS model from CS6 or so that made it unlikely to be pirated?
It's still possible and last time I used it, it was about as easy as can be.
When I last did it, you just downloaded the regular program, installed it, then you ran a patcher and that was it. This was a couple years ago now, but Adobe already had their current business model.
Yup. The only real difference is the pricing model, the program is pretty much the same.
I rememeber they tried offering online libraries of stuff for download to justify the subscription for some products.

Yarr, ye by digging yourself a Mass Grave if you be running them Next Gen programs of the P variety.
Honestly, though, how long is that going to work for you? Windows 10 runs out of service like next year, sooner for most versions. It's just not sustainable.
You can still pirate Windows 11 matey. And don't forget Win 10 LTSC edition still has support until 2027.
Yeah but then you would have to deal with Windows 11 which is gross. I think only the IoT version of 10 has support the longest.
Lol. And yes, Windows 10 IoT LTSC version has support until 2032.

I’m trying to figure out what to do with my lab workstation. If I want to mess with the settings of my Reolink cameras windows seems to be the only stable option sadly. I’ve tried their android software and it’s garbage. The web interface is very limited after enabling it in the settings via their software. Wine has not worked well for me. It’s an isolated lan so it’s not a huge deal but I really wish there was a Linux build. I love the hardware and don’t want to replace the physical cameras. Just so stupid they won’t support a Linux client.
I feel that. I use an old Canon EOS model and the HDMI output isn't clean so I was hyped when they released webcam software for windows...
but they charge $5 a month to use it in anything other than 720p...
Picking good devices to use is hard.
Have you looked into configuring them directly from your NVR? Or third party options? I did a quick search and saw a list of several that as far as I can tell can display Reolink streams (though I haven’t confirmed any can configure the cameras):
And some proprietary options that have native Linux builds:

Pirating Windows for what? It works as full version even if you let it be, watermark does nothing.
https://github.com/massgravel/Microsoft-Activation-Scripts. Use this and get that horrid watermark off your screen!
Yeah but u cant change personalization settings without hassle so why not run an activation script?

If you want actual libre alternatives - Manjaro GNOME Linux, Krita with the AI Image Generation plugin. I'm sure someone else can suggest one for the third one.
