Linux Mint has a program simply called "Drawing" that does exactly that. You can resize pictures, draw shapes, write text, paint and save as other formats. It's a big buggy and unoptimized, but it's cool. For simple things, it's sometimes more convenient than GIMP.

Unfortunately, that is not really possible.

The UEFI standard, a pdf that describes in detail the unified system that all motherbpards use during the boot process, is 1200+ pages long. And that's only one of the many subsystems in a modern system (that gigantic pdf tells you nothinf about PCI, about ACPI and usb, nor any other hardware peripheral). Also, since you are talking about a modern system, you also would need kernel, drivers and operating system calls documentation. All of these exist (for an open source OS like linux, and if you follow the aforementioned standards), but bundling them in a book, and keeping them uodated, would be just impossible.

Because 1) EU laws defend the customers a lot more and 2) US companies have already so much power and money, they can fuck over you easier, and you don't have easier alternatives, or at least some people pretend you don't

That feels so bad for signal integrity, especially at 5+ GT/s

If you only wany to retrieve your files, run the crack on a VM, it will probably run like shit, but you don't need to do so all the time

CS:GO is a free game. I was wondering about pirating a game that is 100% online. Are people downloading this only playing against bots? Are there going to be private servers also rolledback to a previous version? I'm just curious

What's the benefit of this? Cracking an online game that is free anyway

Don't forget that Fallout New Vegas regularly drops below 15$ with all the DLC

Since some extensions are "mozilla-approved", I guess they test it regularly, it wouldn't be hard to verify if one is really sending anything despite their disclosure.

Can't really advise you on what to do, but here's some conaiderations:

• I still use a 4th gen i7 with 16 GB ddr3 and a gtx970, still going fine in its 10th year. Just recently upgraded to a gtx1060 I found around • 10 years old techbology isn't really any diffetent than today, only slower, but luckily architectural incompatibility is becoming less and less of a problem (except when it's forced upon for no particular reason, see win11) • gpu especially are extremely backward and forward compatible, if you only need more VRAM, you can use a modern gpu with a very old mobo and cpu and chances are you'll be as good, and even if you need to upgradr them later because you are cpu-bottleneck, you can still keep the gpu. I'm guessing in 90% of cases, pci lane speed is relatively unimportant wether it's gen3 or gen5.

Basically, upgradr when you feel you are limited in what you can do, ignore the pressure caused by the generations passing by, as time goes on, I predict we'll need less and less hardware upgrade until a nee revolutionary technology comes about that changes everything.

Not a good choice for a name, at first I though it was just another linux phone that would be useless for 90% of people.

Very cool project instead, hope this can lead the fondation for a 100% open source mobile OS.

I think the most "pirated" software ever would be WinRar. EVERYONE broke the terms of service by using it more than 30 days, and then simply closing the popup when it opened (and even if you found it annoying, there's a simple licence file floating around that you can effortly use to get rid of the nag). Milions used it without paying the licence they should have, but WinRar didn't care, because they are (were) ubiquitous and companies probably happily paid those licences for a software eveybody knew how to use.
