I really don’t think CSAM is a fake crime, but we can’t all be libertarians.

Wouldn’t you know it, there’s a wikipedia article for that. I personally have used 7digital and bandcamp, but qobuz has been mentioned several times in other comments and hdtracks seems like it might work after you create an account.

They might be the most common because they’re the easiest, but there are also still plenty of people actually paying for the games. I’ll never be convinced that piracy is an actual threat to making money. Piracy has never been easier, just see /c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com for proof, and yet pretty much all forms of entertainmment are as profitable as ever.

(C )Any digital good that is advertised or offered to a person that the seller cannot revoke access to after the transaction, which includes making the digital good available at the time of purchase for permanent offline download to an external storage source to be used without a connection to the internet.

It shouldn’t be that hard, gog.com manages to do it

Do online multiplayer video games count as a commercial use? I kind of like those

Reversing technologies that meet the new standard must be installed in all new vehicle models from 1 November 2025.

Apparently Australia only got around to it last year, but they’re requiring it to be implemented a lot faster.

If by “new” you mean decided a decade ago and implemented 6 years ago, then yes.

I was also looking into this recently, and I think one of the limiting factors would be the storage and processing power you’d need to blur faces and license plates and then let everyone have access to millions of photos on demand.

not all of them

I don’t know about a distro, but it looks like they are still maintaining an HTPC app for windows, mac and linux. The linux one looks like it was last updated about 2 weeks ago

Windows 11’s Recall feature is on by default on Copilot+ PCs

Disabling the AI snapshotter requires a trip into Settings for ordinary users

Over the weekend, The Verge’s Tom Warren posted (on twitter) screenshots showing Microsoft’s latest Out-of-Box Experience (OOBE), in which the Recall feature can’t be turned off unless the user opens Settings after completing setup.

Now, it’s possible things have changed in the last few days, but I wouldn’t really expect them to based on the last time I used windows. I also didn’t know this before I tried looking it up, so I’ll admit I’m a little biased against microsoft.

But the real question is, what documentation are you looking at where you’re pulling all this information from? Can you provide a link?

You don’t understand why there’s so much fear, uncertainty, and doubt about an on-by-default program that records everything you do? Are you being serious right now?

I don’t know how to use this site. Samsung is a Korean company, so I look there, but I don’t see anything about samsung or phones. Clicking on “mach & elec” or “consumer goods” doesn’t seem to help either.

It’s not like netflix is the only one that can offer that kind of service. You’ve still got gamefly, 3D Bluray Rental, cafedvd, redbox (if you’re fine with going to a kiosk), your public library, and probably others if you care to search for them.

Amazon does still sell digital music files, you just need to find the “digital music” section in Movies, Music and Games if that link doesn’t work for you.

But you’re right about google music, it got turned into youtube music and I’m pretty sure it doesn’t allow purchasing and downloads. I’d imagine apple also still lets you buy music, but I’ve never actually used them before and don’t plan to start now.
