latest W11 update blocked qBittorrent?

the only thing I've changed in my system was installing the latest feature update last night, and now qBittorrent refuses to connect. I've already allowed it through windows firewall, but it steadfastly refuses to connect.

anyone else experiencing this?

Does using MAS delete OEM Windows 11 key for laptops?

Does using activation from Massgrave for a laptop that comes with a Windows 11 SL key removes the said key from the motherboard, as I remember that W11 keys now loads onto either the motherboard as of W8/W10 or MS account for W11. I wish to use a pro version to use groupedit as a whack-a-mole approach to W11 changes since the said feature is only for pro version.

On the side note, would you recommend using a third-party OEM key reseller for MS keys, or is it better to stick with Massgrave activation if your buying a gray market key? I wish that some devs of software that I use provide god damn Linux support already so I can jump the ship already...

Game Show Network free sites?

I'm sorry if this isn't the right place but a neighbor is going to be on Flip Side and he won't even be able to watch it himself. Seems no one he knows (including me) has GSN.

Does anyone here have a free streaming site that would actually have current game shows?

None of the sites he has includes game shows. TYIA

Audio delay

Probably a dumb question but I’m going to ask anyway, I’m having a problem with the audio not matching up with the sound on movie sites. I’m using an iPhone 15 pro max. I’ve reset the phone, closed all tabs, used different sites but have the same problem. It’s strictly just the movie sites. YouTube, and everything works fine.

The sites I’ve tried are Theflixer, soap2say, 123movies and a few others. All with the same problem. Anyone else having this issue? Is there a fix? Or is it time to hang it up and start actually paying for subscription services lmao.

Is it worth it to pirate windows 11?

Is the hassle worth it? In the sense that with each update will they not realise it's a pirated copy and try to shut it down? I just built a new PC and was planning on trying to pirate as I've read a couple tutorials here. But I'm now thinking it's just easier in the long run to shill out the $$$. Also if anyone can link a step by step guide on how to pirate it that would be greatly appreciated

Rant; Gaming is f****d

Every time I spend time and resources into doing things the proper way I get screwed. I'm running third party drivers as such need to run my Windows in test mode. As such that new Delta Force game won't play. Anti-cheat can f**k off. Pirate s**t never gives me this hassle. Even Skynet understands -

"It’s disappointing when legitimate software doesn’t work as expected, especially after investing time and resources into it. If you find that pirating is the only way to enjoy games without these issues, that’s certainly a perspective many share given the frustrations with DRM and anti-cheat measures."

Before that I bought another game, didn't work on my system due to bugs, then found out one of the DLCs had some terms and conditions that wouldn't let me get a refund with it, so, yeah, that was great too.

May as well set my money on fkn fire at this point.

Subreddit appreciation 🙏

Thank you to all you hardworking people. I'd be lost without the megathread. It makes living under capitalism just a little easier. What was your greatest find from the thread or subreddit in general?

What I hope the war on piracy sites causes

Sorry for the effortpost but like a lot of other people I'm pretty annoyed.

There are so many anime and manga that I got into because of .... reasons.

Whatever they may or may not have lost in advertising they made 10x on from merch I bought.

I cancelled nintendo purchases over their war on yuzu and refunded steam purchases for certain long running franchises I've been a fan of.

The playartskai figure purchase I cancelled was worth more than 2 years of crunchyroll subscription.

From now on if I'm getting anime merch I'm going to make damn sure they're from independent artists who won't send a cent to the parent company.

Hopefully they lose more in merch/art sales than they make in subscriptions.

Sorry for the cringe.

Team R2R keygen

Recently downloaded a crack of the Goodhertz audio plugin bundle by Team R2R, instructions say to run my generated challenge file through their keygen. Got my challenge file- no keygen to be found. Anyone have any experience with Team R2R that knows what's up?

Plex + Nielsen rating survey device

I have been reached out by Nielsen to be a panel member in their national survey.

They send devices home that each household member wears. This device listens to embedded audio signals, presumably stuff you don't notice as a human, that let's the device know what you're watching, and then sends that info to Nielsen via cell network.

Hypothetically, if I, uh, liberate content and use Plex to stream it at home. Our whole household is a heavy plex user. Hypothetically.

Will Nielsen understand these are not traditional network channels and report my activity to law enforcement and/or the corporate content owners?

It's a nice cash payout, all things considered.

Has anyone gotten through on REDacted disabled IRC? (lately)

Been trying to get back on it (disabled for inactivity during covid) and have both used the email feature on the site, as well as waited in the disabled IRC for many hours over many days. Usually i am waiting so long that i get kicked for idling (lol).

I was on oink and what, just want to get the hell back in there now that i'm back on my game.

Nielsen & Torrenting/Pirating

Recently I signed up for Nielsen's Computer & Mobile Panel. You get 60$ in gift cards a year and chances at monthly lotteries/instant win games. My family used to have a Nielsen Meter for the TV, and I trust them as a reputable vendor. Their android app requires a VPN so I can't use it there (already using YouGov on there and it requires it's own VPN). The desktop app, however, doesn't require one.

My question is if anyone has any experience torrenting/pirating whilst using Nielsen. I'm worried it might not be a good idea, but idk.

Yoto Cards

Probably an incredibly niche request but does anyone know if one could find Yoto cards ?

There existed once upon a time a shared folder with them from the Yoto subreddit but that has since been nuked.

I'm sure it exists somewhere... I just can't find anything

how to bypass printing block?

i purchased a soft copy of a textbook online but the website i used only allows printing once, which means if anything goes wrong when you try to print, you can’t retry and basically you’re screwed. is there any way i can download the pdf of the book? (that isn’t taking a screenshot of every single page lol)

My hard drives are filling up since I got into torrenting. Can anyone give me advice on how I should set my computer and hard drives up moving forward? And how to watch all my media, maybe plex or something

I have two 2-TB SSD hard drives, one has the OS and video games and the other has my media like movies, tv, music etc. Since torrenting both drives are now almost full. I was going to get another 2-TB SSD, but would I be better off getting a larger HDD to store pirated stuff?

And then watching media is a pain right now, I have to use windows explorer and navigate to the folder, sub folder, find which episode I watched last and then the next one. It would be nice to have a program that organizes all that. Is plex the best option? I watch everything on my computer at my desk. But I also have a home theater pc I never use, should I bite the bullet and set that up with plex?

Thanks for any advice
