Though as of this new month the NZ minimum wage for adults is $23.50 per hour, with training and starting-out as $18.50. So this is still reasonable.

Discussion Anyone else go through the torrent and deselect all the fluff?

236 Upvotes

Torrents can't just have the file you're looking for. They also need to include the calling card for the creator, folders of representative scenes, and sometimes folders of suggested other media from the same creator, etc. The fluff never amounts to much size-wise but I just feel particular about only downloading what I decide to. So I end up wasting time setting all the fluff to Unwanted despite it being ultimately wasted effort. Was just curious if I alone had this compulsion.

Question Show I was binge watching on Primewire is seemingly no where else?

2 Upvotes

I tried looking up alternative links for the show I've been binge watching via links in Primewire for the past month, and seriously, no where else has them.

How did that work with Primewire that they would have streamable links, but all the other streaming sites I've tried via the multitude of lists here in this sub-Reddit, may have listings for each episode, but no working links, or some do not even have the show listed at all. I've tried to just find each episode individually on torrent sites, and for most of them, there's only one option. Sadly, it appears that these torrents are not popular enough for people to still be actively seeding, and if I can even get one to start downloading, it invariably ends up stalling.

Super annoying where I was 2 episodes away from finishing the season I was on, and then only had 2 seasons left after that. I'm making my way through older SNL stuff that if I was even wanting to get a subscription to Crave (Canada), or VPN for Peacock, they've chopped a lot of content from older episodes because they don't want to pay for mainly music rights.

I'm not super familiar with Primewire, as I've only been using it for just over a month based on a suggestion from a family member when we were talking about our mutual enjoyment of SNL, and other than the odd episode here and there, I was able to pretty easily make it through 6 of the 8 seasons I wanted. So I don't know if these issues are common, or how quickly they're fixed.

I tried someone's suggestion on another post here about changing Primewire tf to gg, but it looks like either it's still being set up, or it just won't have the same content, because searching anything, let alone what I want, shows blank pages.

With my lack of finding this anywhere else, how long should I wait to see if Primewire comes back fully before I just allow myself to mourn my inability to finish what I'd started a month ago. Lol.

Question Does Steam "know" if I unblock DLC?

79 Upvotes

I only pirate when money is tight and my steam account houses a LOT of stuff I don't want to lose, but...

Playing Total war warhammer without the unfathomably numerous DLC feels like an incomplete experience and I wanted to get some to allow me confederate with certain factions, use certain units, etc. I also didn't want to use the fully pirated version since it's a bit outdated, not even featuring my second favourite boys, the Norscans.

If I use something like creamAPI to unlock the DLC, does that just unlock the DLC locally or will there be info on steam's servers that might lead to my account being banned in the future?

Also, what should I use to unlock DLC in single player? I heard about CreamAPI but it's not on the megathread (unless I'm stupid and missed it.)

1337x shows lots of seeders, yet my download speed is super slow (as seen in qBittorrent). At this rate it will take 10 days to download.

My actual internet connection download speed is about 90 Mbps from speed test.

Question Spotube sucks fresh wet dogshit

8 Upvotes

Does this app not work for anyone else? I swear all it does is try to buffer a song, fail, then try to buffer the next song, fail again, and it's stuck in that loop. When it does work it will just stop a lot of the time after only playing a few songs, and when I reopen the app it's frozen and I have to force it to stop and clear the cache.

Am I missing something? Is there a setting I haven't checked that can fix this? Does this app just suck the doodoo?

Question Paid Streaming Services?

3 Upvotes

I have been using FOSTV.live for about a year. This is a decent service for streaming movies, TV, and sports. It’s not cheap at $45 a month but it solves a lot of my issues with the ridiculous catalog of streaming services.

After a year, the service has gotten worse and I am looking for an alternative. Something that’s reliable with a great selection of content. I’ve used things like Cinema on fire stick in the past but it was endless searches for working links. I don’t want to spend the time to download and maintain a Plex or similar server. Are there any paid services that offer something like FOSTV.live (also known as xtremeplayerllc.com)?

Question Spotify Premium to iTunes

0 Upvotes

I haven't been able to find anything similar to my issue, so I figured I'd ask myself.

I have Spotify Premium and want to transfer everything onto my iPod Classic and ultimately stop paying for Spotify. However, most transferring apps like Songshift require an Apple Music subscription.

(The idea of moving everything to my iPod is to stop paying for my music, so getting an Apple Music subscription defeats the whole point.)

I have over 400 hours of music and over 200 playlists. so pirating each song for each playlist will be very tedious and repetitive.

Wanted to know if there was an easier way of doing it before I dedicate my time by trying to download everything myself.

Question false positive?

0 Upvotes

downloaded GTA 5 enhanced from dodi-repacks, official site and everything. however i heard from some people that dodi had been doing sketchy shit with cryptominers in files and whatnot. got this message twice from my AV. assumed it was a false positive but usually it says pua:cracktool or whatever. so i went onto virus total and a lot of the files downloaded had a bunch of things flagged. are they all false positives?

links to a couple of virus total scans

i scanned a bunch more but these are just a couple. most have a similar count anyway
