How easy is it to switch back to windows?
  • Windows, in the past has been known to sometimes overwrite the Linux boot loader after a windows update.

    Linux (ubuntu) do that pretty often too, people just don't notice it because they're unlikely to be running any other bootloader if they have Linux'.

  • Japan seeks international coordination to thwart online manga, anime piracy
  • It would be a service problem if the chapter was released officially in one language then translated to others by pirates faster than the official company, but that is not the case. The official Sunday release includes the English, Spanish and Portuguese translations (among others) and they are all made available at the same time, for free for several regions.

    Pirate websites only manage to release it faster because they get access to the unfinished product and then have people work on them with no regards to any work laws in order to finish and release it as soon as possible without any schedule or time constraint.

  • Japan seeks international coordination to thwart online manga, anime piracy
  • In general, yes, but in this case I don't think there's any way for the service to beat piracy even if the service was just as good (which it isn't). Take the One Piece manga, for example. A lot of people read it from illegitimate sources simply because they can manage to release it two to three days earlier than the official every week. You can read it for free online in your local language once the magazine reach the shelves in Japan, but even that is too late because the contents gets leaked while all the partners are preparing for that simultaneous release.

    Google Maps alternatives you'll wish you tried sooner
  • Here We Go is the old Nokia Maps, which (at least until ~8 years ago) has the absolute best map data of all of the mentioned services, specially for third world countries and other places that Google and Apple aren't so worried about keeping up-to-date.

  • Is it theoretically possible for Windows 11 to delete pirated content on your PC?
  • On the realm of possibilities, windows can do whatever it wants. If it is connected to the internet then yeah it would be possible for Microsoft to do something like that, but I wouldn't be worried about it just for piracy. Something like that could be possible for detecting CP or things on that level but I doubt MS would go low enough to do that for simple pirated content.

  • IGN acquired the Gamer Network including RPS, Eurogamer, VG247 and more
  • If they bought the domains and fired the people it should be easy for someone else to start a new site using the available talent pool to quickly become a relevant name as well.

    Me personally, I strongly dislike IGN because (other than all the common reasons) they force me to access a poorly translated version of their content when I'm perfectly capable of reading their originals in English, so even if they have an article I'm interested on, I can't easily access any decent version of it because or my geographic location.

  • Ukrainian soldiers in the Donbas are fed up waiting for Western munitions
  • I agree about the west (or at least the US) wanting the war to continue as long as possible, but Russia had already backtracked on deals it had already signed on before, why would Ukraine willingly give up anything to a nation that doesn't keep their promises?

  • TIL that some people do not have an inner voice and think in different nonverbal ways.
  • I also can't picture anything in my mind either. It's like a different language that is based on feelings instead of words. You know when you move next to a fire and you feel hot? You don't need any words to feel hot, right? It's kinda like that. I would open the drawer and feel a "this isn't right" feeling.

  • What were some good things humans achieved in 2023?

    Anything exciting going on in your field of work this year? Or breakthroughs in science, new technologies developed, things like that.
