I have a bunch of games I bought a while after playing the pirated versions, and I usually don't play them at all.
I guess there isn't really a way to see how many people do this.
Intel is an American company.
If you're bothered by Israeli involvement you should avoid all the companies in that list, including AMD, as they are all invested in Israel and have Israeli teams.
Even large Chinese tech companies like Xiaomi, which has an R&D center in Israel, are invested in Israel.
Just want to add that at the moment AV1 is only beneficial for encoding to lower bitrate videos.
It's still better to use x265 for high bitrate.
Yeah, from what I've seen they weren't great before and have switched things up in recent years.
But I haven't had any personal experience with their boards.
Specifically motherboards or in general?
~~I've heard a lot of good things about Asrock motherboards. And they're also about the only ones without some recent controversy (for AMD CPUs).~~
In general, I can personally vouch for Noctua.
They sent me a free mounting kit for my then 7 year old CPU cooler when I switched it over to a new PC. I've had it for 12 years now.
Edit: Never mind, looks like also Asrock aren't too great.
Personally I use Newmaxx's site and spreadsheet which has more indepth information about the SSDs like their controllers and NAND type - https://borecraft.com/
You can also check their subreddit for some reviews and such.
That and some stats from Backblaze and general reviews.
And I use price trackers to make sure I'm getting a good price.
I don't like going by specific brands, because they all have some less ideal models and some of them tend to change some of the components after a while.
I understand the feeling.
But when someone buys music from you and then puts it in house parties for tens of other people, those people are also listening to your music without paying.
And a lot of people these days will never pay for a specific artist's music.
They'll use a streaming service like Spotify, which barely pays anything to small artists (especially when free users listen to the music, and not premium users).
But I can use Spotify for free, listen to small artists' music, share it with other people, and it will be considered legal and "ok".
And personally, whatever I pirate, I wouldn't have bought in the first place without being able to try it. So it isn't a lost sale.
There's no need, but if you really want to, you can do it through Tailscale - Provision TLS certificates for your internal Tailscale services
There's also Thrive
(which is open-source)
Yup.
Ethiopian Jews, Indian Jews, and tiny communties of Chinese and Japanese Jews.
Edit: There are more, but those are mostly Jews that ran away / were expelled from other countries.
Like Jews in Thailand who fled Russia and Iran.
Bypass Paywalls extension for Firefox.
Works better and for more sites in my experience.
Better to pirate it.
The original devs were kicked out and the current owners are scummy.
