I'm with the other person who said it doesn't really matter. Because it usually doesn't. Main thing you're likely concerned with is speed. And most of paid ones have okay speed. So just grab one that's on sale.

Even if you get one that logs and do all sorts of stuff that someone says is signs of poor VPN, you've already become such a hassle to go after that ISP won't bother.

If you're doing something super illegal and FBI is gonna hound you for years, that's a different story. But for torrenting, they're only gonna go bother the lowest hanging fruits, and you aren't one of them.

Though, imo, it's more convenient these days to not get a VPN or torrent client yourself but just get a debrid service to download for you. And then you download directly off of them. Like torbox, alldebrid. Etc. just start the torrent there and you can turn off your computer. Also they cache ton of stuff. So often it's already downloaded before you even start. I've had bunch of cases where I downloaded torrents with zero seeds because of their caching. They also come with whole bunch of convenience outside of torrents. But this is bit outside of your question.

There's genp community (which includes monkrus) in dbzer0. You should check it out.

I like this idea. Stick in a portable video player in the usb too. Then you got a working combo all together.

Yeah. If there's a Saudi that is rich enough to buy EA on a whim, he'd definitely think $1000 for a game is very cheap and don't understand what pricing issue exists.

I would say give onlyoffice a try. It's not FOSS but does have free tier for home use and it's what I go to for non-main work computer. Beats libre imo.

My best answer at this point would be that you need to make your own program to find and remove by content. Because no other manual pdf editor would reasonably have such a feature since it's so niche.

Also vibe coding with AI tends to be very good for singular tasks like this.

I wouldn't recommend converting the pdf to anything else since that would remove the layer info unless it's to more complicated formats like EPS, illustrator, etc.

To properly do this the phone has to support it at hardware level. Pixel and iPhone have this feature but don't know about yours. There are apps like battery guru which will alert you, but you have to manually unplug at that point.

Payment processors don't know which game you bought. That's not the concern.

Their concern is that the store they do business with provides services to content they deem inappropriate. Frankly, I'm surprised they allowed this much for so long given the past.

Why credit card processors are puritans, I have no idea. But MC, Visa and PayPal have historically always been super anti-porn.

Article states it's the cost of only the last and third subpoena. Since the first two were struck down in court already, they're arguing making the exact same request again for a third time afterwards is just waste of time for everyone.

Unauthorized reproduction or copyright infringements is more scary and dramatic than theft in some ways. Just look at the punishment for copyright infringement vs theft. One is waaaaaay more severe. It's almost akin to saying "You stole his life!" Instead of "you killed him!" Since severity of punishment for copyright infringements is pretty much up there with murder.

I'd say it's like half meetings. and the other half is prepping for meetings. In office and out of office too, dinner, golf, etc. Small meetings like with the other C positions, mid level mgt, to large meetings like conferences. Pretty much from mid-size company and up, it's all just meetings. And when shit hits the fan, they get to decide on which shit tastes better.

Types of meetings change too. Like if you want more cash, which companies usually do, you're on constant hunt for investment meetings and networking. And generally the entire time, various companies will try to approach your company (or you) to setup a meeting so they can say how wonderfully helpful their company is for your company. Sometimes you agree to those meetings and sometimes you don't. Again, even as a mid sized company, you likely get enough requests for meetings that you literally can't book all of them. So you get more C levels to delegate some of those meetings for you and then you have meetings with your C levels. And as you grow, you try to weed out less important ones. And you do that through... networking.

Everything kinda keeps looping back to networking.

Imagine you're playing CK3 or any grand strategy 4X game. Networking is like allies. You can just get whole bunch of allies to attacc other kingdoms even if you're weak. That's the power of networking. And every click of a button to do something is like a meeting. You want to build a fort? In CK3, click. In IRL, meeting.

It's the ad networks fault. And it's 1337x fault for using shitty ad network. But once you get into shadier and less commonly approved business, only options you have for ads are shitty networks that have nearly no ad vetting system. Which means sometimes you get shit like this happening.
