I just wanted to post this gem here, for people who still use Telegram.

Seems strange that the dev seems to be keeping quiet on this, no? I'm not telling you to read every comment of every post, you can just skim the post titles. Then you'll see multiple open issues and a few closed issues too going back 5 days to the latest BtS update.

Though I haven't followed this project long enough to tell if this is just the way they normally behave.

Edit:

I'm back at my computer, so it's easier to edit and add info now.

Some key points that have stuck out to me:

• Previous version released in July only triggers 2 detections on Windows defender versus 29 for the most recent version: https://i.imgur.com/GIoH7eG.png

• Users getting constantly pestered to update to the latest version: https://i.imgur.com/Oege3kU.png

• Yeah, naturally, the dev is going to say it's a false positive. Obviously. I've only mentioned that the dev has previously responded because some people barely skimmed through the issues and thought the dev simply hadn't seen the latest open issue from only a few hours ago, when that is not the case.

if that even is your real name!

featuring lines such as "piracy is almost not the right answer"

you don't have to tell me information about why Rui's drive is gone, I just googled it because I forgot their name (I thought it was Anadius' drive at first)

Some of you might already know, but I just found out you can download audiobooks via Book lib connect and return them afterwards. I just tried it and it worked, but I don't know if they will find out, so if you try, maybe use the usual privacy measures. Have fun.

I travel a lot on weekends, so I often don’t get to watch my teams Sunday game. There used to be a site where you could go and watch the recordings of the past weeks games, but I can’t seem to find anything like that lately.

Anyone know of a way without paying $500 for NFL Sunday ticket?

It made me so thankful for piracy. What an abysmal experience. First of all, I’m on mobile and they make you use the app. There is literally no way to get around it except TOR, no using browser, even on desktop mode, as somone like me who is deaf, it means I can’t have my special accessibility extensions which sucks.

So I get to the app ready to watch my show. Bam Adds! Worse than youtube! It’s like an add every 5-10min that lasts from 5-40s. Who the hell can actually enjoy a movie or a TV show in these conditions?

I was like fine, I’ll download it to watch offline then. Nope, that’s blocked now. So I figured I’d tinker with DNS and see if I could manage to block those adds. That didn’t work.

I’m so glad piracy exists. I see streming services have gone full circle. No better than paying an absurd amount for a TV channel plastered with adds. Urgh. I’ll make sure to stay away from disney restaurants now so they can’t legally kill me since I watched an episode of futurama on their platform.

This may not be the place but I thought I'd give it a shot.

I need some guidance on video conversion software. I've pirated & tried Aiseesoft Video Converter, Wondershare UniConverter, VideoProc, Winxvideo AI & ffmpeg although I don't do very well with the command line and can't find one solution to do everything I need.

I'm seeking support for multiple file processing, custom profiles (resolution, aspect, etc.), all modern CODECs including HEVC, AV1/Opus, basic video editing, AMD Hardware Acceleration (have a Radeon RX 470 graphics card), hard and soft subtitles, audio normalization & constant rate or target bitrate control modes.

I've only ever found one software that would do all of these things & that was VSO's ConvertXtoVideo. Unfortunately, the company has downsized & only has 1 or 2 programmers and while they claim to be working on an UHD Converter, all they have right now is an Alpha version which, basically, does nothing.

If anyone can steer me in the direction of a free or paid software that will do most of what I'm wanting I'd be very grateful.

But removing Denuvo DRM after 12 weeks ‘causes zero mean total revenue loss.’

The tittle says it all

That command prompt.

I'm seeing thepiratebay org is discouraged because it has lots of viruses due to lack of moderation. I was wondering how could an mp4 or an mkv etc. could be harmful? Are people talking about executable stuff?
