  • Never used a VPN. Never got a letter. Hardly heard of anyone being actually sued over downloading one movie out of the millions that do it daily…probably more likely for die driving to work.

    Torrent. Install Qbittorrent and just use any Prate bay clone site.

    Or SlSk (soul seek) search and download directly from a user. They may expect to see that your sharing files. It’s OK to have nothing when your starting out.

    Or Stremio installed on almost any TV or device and stream the content without downloading first. Kodi can do it too but it’s a bit of a setup and I’ve found Stremio to be easier.

    The first two install without issie, the last needs a guide to get the good stuff DM me and I’ll send a recommended link.

    I’ve done all three for free with no issues - beyond sometimes finding content. That said. The caviets.

    The first two can get you a virus if you don’t know what your doing and clicking random things. For torrenting I hear private trackers are better but I’ve never used one.

    And the last one does, unfortunately, work better with a paid service (premoumize or real debrid). Cheapest is during black friday and pay for two years. It’s the same as yearly Prime Subscription.

    I dont think this is mentioned enough. These days it seems a given that you’ll install XYZ app on your personal phone, or use your personal PC for something.

    No. If you require me to install something then I require a device to install it on.

    I also think people dont realise that often throguh active exchange IT can fully wipe your device. And Ive seen too many shitty IT operators who would accidentally do this.







  • I was new to 3d around 4years ago, and even newer to Linux.

    Fusion is often mentioned but I prefer Onshape. Fusion isn’t just a simple download and install (even on windows its a pain), but Onshape runs in the browser so I can use it on ANY PC, ans its never struggled.

    The tools in both are pretty much the same, sometimes with different names. Theres plenty of onshape tutorials online, and the help pages are good.

    For the free version of Onshape you can have unlimited files, but they are technically available publically. Other onshape users can search and use them, but unless your planing on selling them or use it for work who cares.

    Fusion brought in a limit a while ago for free accounts to have like 10 “active” documents.

    You can also start with Tinkercad online, but once you learn Fusion/Onshape and parametric design its much better.

    If your into writing code you can use scad on linux. Its an interesting way to design but I can see its benefits.

    For a slicer Orca has been fine on linux. Not sure if it works with printers outside Bambu.

    I tried a few distro over the years. They all had issues. Mint was the first one that “just worked” without fucking a round with terminal.

    Put it on my parents PCs and they had 0 issues.

    Fedora and KDE have more “polish” but in my experience the tradeoff is bug hunting and terminal use. Not something I wanted to get into moving to a new OS.
