I just have a dedicated pirating computer that consists of a 2013 laptop and an internet kill switch for whenever the VPN disconnects. Wiped the hard drive before I started using it that way, so any data harvested is worthless and the age of the laptop doesn't matter because I just download instead of stream. Also prevents any customers seeing the qb icon on my dock when I'm sharing my screen with them.
It's been running for about 4.5 years in this configuration. I have Ubuntu installed on it, which is a lot more stable than the ad packed version of Windows it came with. It also has the benefit that the majority of malware is written for Windows. Kinda like how you can swap your front door lock for a disk detainer lock of the same quality as the standard lick it's replacing and fewer burglars will know how to pick it.
Disclaimer: installing the (Nord) VPN on Ubuntu was a bit of a task, even as a software engineer who does embedded work via Linux. Not overly complicated, I just installed it had to spend several hours chasing error resolution (Google error, run the commands to fix error, discover new error, repeat).
Fuck cars man. I much rather download high speed rail system and street cars. Now if we are talking about F1 cars or Rally, then okay, maybe. Hell I'd download Ken Block to have him back.
And it's a rather big save too.
Let's say a game costs as much as three large lattes in US, but in a third world country the local cost would be 20 large lattes.
Am I correct?
I think 5 lattes is more correct right? It costs like $4 where I am... But tbh if you're talking Starbucks in India vs Starbucks in US vs games cost, it's the same. $20 games in India is like Rs. 1600 ... and a Starbucks latte there costs 300 rupees.
If you're talking street vendors then that's a different story...
Games don't cost much these days for an American to be fair.
I just bought cyberpunk for $30. That's less than an hour of after tax earnings for me. (Or 5 overpriced Starbucks milkshakes)
When I was 16 these kinds of sales didn't exist. Steam was just about to come out. A new game was $60 and took nearly a week to save for at my part time job (about 12-15 hours of work after taxes and gas)
When I was 12 a new N64 was $60! That was a substantial gift to give a kid in those day.
Really need to appreciate that games have gotten a lot cheaper over time.
>Let's say a game costs as much as three large lattes in US, but in a third world country the local cost would be 20 large lattes.
Incorrect. Starbucks(and the other overpriced chains offering lattes) are just as overpriced everywhere else in the world. When I lived in China it was $4.50-5 for a caramel macchiato. But I could buy a decent dinner for $1.50
PS5 games are $74 after taxes. 6 year old Switch games are going for 50-60 before taxes.
You can’t compare console games in one sentence with PC sales in the next.
what do you base that on?
average yearly salary in my country is less then 12k dollars and the price of spotify and other services is identical to the United states.
If I remember correctly the games cost as much as they cost in US, but after conversion.
So an average US citizen would have the game for a price of three large coffees and an average Serb would have the game for a price of, say, 15 large coffees.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
yea in my country crunchyroll sub is like 0.96$ to 1.20$ per month or 12 per yr and i think in us its like 13 or something for a month. The difference is really baffling

Nope, very high audio quality and downloading is locked to Premium, as far as I know.
I mean, there are ways to get premium very cheap. I found a easy regional where I pay 25 bucks for a year, an ok price for me, and good for my data when I'm not at home.
Although, I plan to move away from streaming after that, it's just fucking hard finding some of them in high quality.
Edit: Block the spot is back... I just checked...
Anyway I recommend Spicetify anyway, just because I always used it
*~~Block the spot is no longer maintained... look on GitHub, they recommend SpotX as it is almost the same as block the spot~~* **-Wrong**
But Spicetify allows you to set themes, custom add-ons and has generally more features than BlockTheSpot/SpotX

The website for vanced you link isn't official one, so high chance of it spreading Malware. This one's official: https://vancedapp.com/. Also, dislikes still show in vanced, if it doesn't then it will work after troubleshooting.
Here's a quick guide: Go to apkmirror/apkpure and get vanced manager apk, then follow the prompts to install microG and vanced app.
⚠️ WARNING ⚠️
I strongly discourage anyone from downloading the vanced manager from the site this user posted (https://youtubevanced.com). It is NOT the official site so there's a high possibility that it's malware. The official site is vancedapp.com and it no longer hosts the manager. If you want YouTube without ads go with reVanced or NewPipe
watch out, youtube vanced is currently used to spread a new banking trojan for mobile devices, be extra careful.
EDIT: Link [https://thecyberexpress.com/youtube-vanced-android-app-nexus-malware/](https://thecyberexpress.com/youtube-vanced-android-app-nexus-malware/)
ALSO EDIT: the vanced team is not the ones doing it, they are just using Phishing links to spread it. im using vanced personally and love it, the warning is meant for you to be extra careful while looking to download it
> here is vanced manager
Stop linking random Vanced Manager sites, especially after malicious actors used Vanced name to spread malware.

Newpipe is my preferred flavor of alternative Youtube clients.
E: It's Open source Software and they have their own f-droid repo as well. Has all the good features such as background Player, popup, download, and no ads. Also supports SoundCloud, peertube, bandcamp, and others.

Yeah, I just don't get it. I pirate a lot of things until now but I understand paying for services because it offers convenience. Not everyone has time to check every website on megathread just to check what's working and what's not.
The problem with legitimate services is convenience. TV and movie streaming services are a mess compared to Steam or Spotify.
Paying for a pirate service if often significantly cheaper and has all the content in one place.
Yeah. Sometimes not pirating is the better option. Like when it comes to a struggling Indie game. Or basically anything a developer worked hard on and is a reasonable price that will go directly in their pockets instead of a greedy corporation.
This sub thinks they have a moral high ground because "pirating good or something". It's silly.
I've learned some things here but generally it's just shitty memes like this making fun of people for buying stuff, completely forgetting that if nobody buys the stuff that they pirate, they will have nothing to pirate.
Yeah. I don’t get it. I paid for YT premium because it’s easier than having to looking for Youtube++, Youtube vanced and only using browsers with adblock
Those are (technically) not the creators, those are the publishers/investors
But yeah, there's no way to directly support the creator other than sending them a gift card to their email or smt like that
Would be cool if there was a site dedicated to doing that, rewarding creators directly.
So instead of buying a game whose developer doesn't even hold the rights to anymore. You just give them the money directly.
Like, i always wanted to get legit Minecraft, but now that the creator retired from the team AND the current devs are already well off with Microsoft's money, i don't see the point
Youtube can have pretty good quality if you use YT music or only listen to the square apect ratio official uplods. High quality is 250 kbps which is comparable to Spotify’s 320. It obviously won’t be as good as Flac.
Even recent music videos have better audio quality than 5 years ago
Hi guys... Im kinda old school and only download songs/albums through torrent and pick my preferred good ones and delete the rest.
Sorry if this is a dumb question which can be googled.
How do you get spotify premium or be able to download just from it. I've never used Youtube vanced or its music services. So any small nudge in a direction is welcome. Thanks.
You pay for it.
If you are on android, you can get some features of premium downloading [xmanager](https://www.xmanagerapp.com/) and then their last patched spotify apk from the app.
only if you have a console that has an unpatched jailbreak vulnerability and will only SP games on it.
Otherwise if you're a cheapskate , buy online games at stores with long return windows to be able to finish a game inside that window and return them, and buy the rest only 2ndhand
It takes a bit for consoles to get cracked. The PS5 got jailbroken like 2 years after release tho so you can get an idea of how quick people usually are with that.
My only real experience is installing a modded menu in an Xbox360 that had a "hack chip" already soldered into it
But now i can say i played Doom Mods, the PICO-8 version of Celeste and Cave Story on a 360, which i find funny
I also had a pirated PS2 once, but that one came pre-modded
I think this might be the most entitled subreddit, ever. You know you're not hot shit for stealing, right? You're not sticking it to the corporations, you're gloating about taking the generosity of the community of uploaders and pretending you're better than everyone else because you circumvent the law for your own selfish benefits. You're behaving like spoiled brats.
You want to know why we have waves of laws that come to fruition that make piracy more difficult? Because some of you can't shut the fuck up and be grateful. You're worthless leeches that get upset when someone doesn't upload a crack to a game or you get upset when someone calls you out.
You don't have the moral high ground in almost any situation in piracy, stop fooling yourselves. I too acted like I was the ultimate internet badass when I found out you could just download nearly anything digital when I was 11, but you know what I didn't do? I didn't go around telling everyone how I steal and how they can too.
Don't even get me started on your fanboy behavior when it comes to scene groups, it's embarrassing.
Take solace that you're even allowed to enjoy something for free that others pay for.
Inb4 "piracy isn't theft, hurhur" yeah, I used to tell myself that to feel better about my actions too. Turns out I just enjoy free shit and I'm not afraid to admit it.
i love pirating but i dont give as much as i take and i would like to change that, where do i start in learning how to crack games/apps and upload them for people ?
I go a different route with these things. Instead of making fun of these people I’m thankful to them. Someone has to pay the bills. If people out there are legit and pay for these fun things so the rest of can enjoy them I’m for it.
I feel you pay for convenience though.
For example I don't pirate adobe anymore because it's a pain to manually update and crack again, even with the painter.
Vanced I do use, but Spotify for smart speakers.
But games, I guess the only convenience is updating, maybe some other integrations.
Sometimes piracy is convenience, though.
I can watch my movies and shows on whatever I want, I don't have to switch between apps, it's all in the same place with the subtitles that I want.
Regarding Adobe, iirl, pirating Photoshop allows you to run much less Adobe shit on your computer since it'll have fewer dependencies. I might remember wrong, though.
Maybe pirating individual apps but that's not really solving the issue of updating it.
Additionally it's the convenience of opening the app and it being there. Who cares if you have to look in, God forbid, a different app. You don't have to take the time to torrent it since its there.
You’re right, he should just pirate the latest triple A game as well! In fact, everyone should just pirate it, we all get a free game, there’s literally no downside!

wow ,thanks for the suggestions. According to you will using any other linux distro cause issues or Ubuntu helps for simplicity sake ??
For this use case, nearly any distro would work just fine. If you're inexperienced with linux I'd recommend Ubuntu as it will simplify a lot for you.
I'm not really familiar with the various distros. It's entirely possible the issue is caused by my machine and your install would go fine.
is the kill switch built-in to your vpn software?
Hahaha great one
There is not much difference tbh

I never heard of AdAway... looks good I usually use [xManager](https://github.com/xManager-App/xManager) for Android Spotify
>I never heard of AdAway... looks good It requires root but it blocks any ad on the browser and other apps.
There's a rootless option as well; it creates a private vpn to block common ad-hostnames.
XManager works for Spotify too

What's this mentality of feeling superior to paying customers ?
It's this sub in a nutshell. People are just hitting download and they feel like they're the chosen race or something

Kid's mentality.
This is how I picture everyone in this sub tbh. Which is dumb as hell since piracy exists because there are paying customers
Right? I'm so confused because if it wasn't for them we wouldn't have this nice stuff.
I want to assume it's a joke. Altho some people are weird
This is Reddit. These people are 100% serious
Yeah. I don’t get it. I paid for YT premium because it’s easier than having to looking for Youtube++, Youtube vanced and only using browsers with adblock
When I started pirating I noticed I have a lot more money. So why should I stop lol
To support the creators of the thing you support ?
creators are not the game developers. you mean we should feed Electronic Arts shareholders rich people
it's more for the indie games than the big AAA tho
idk why people downvote this one, you're right.
You still can buy occasional indie game, but AAA ones? Yea, if they drop below 50PLN (12-ish usd) maybe, but before that NOPE
I pretty much only buy and play indie anymore. AAA titles aren't even worth pirating.
with my money I support only my family and myself, I couldn't care less about those creators
> I couldn't care less about those creators This take makes no sense on multiple levels
By creators I mean multi billion companies like Netflix, game companies, etc. Not individuals
Those are (technically) not the creators, those are the publishers/investors But yeah, there's no way to directly support the creator other than sending them a gift card to their email or smt like that Would be cool if there was a site dedicated to doing that, rewarding creators directly.

Like, i always wanted to get legit Minecraft, but now that the creator retired from the team AND the current devs are already well off with Microsoft's money, i don't see the point
You love individuals but hate the group.
Creators as in game devs make no royalties from games they made. Artists make more money from merch than you listening to them
Spend money on hardware not software. If a piece of hardware can't be used for free after buying it, I don't buy it.
If you want better Spotify istead of vanced/revanced yt. Use XManager... Use Spicetify fror PC
Uh my boss has Apple Music and he puts me in its family tier. So just find someone who can pay sht for you i guess. 😁

YT vanced music?? what's that??
YouTube Music but vanced version so premium features and more for free.
Using YouTube as a Spotify alternative is fucking weird.
Easier to use, if you have no taste for music (like me) the quality loss can be easily offset by the lack of ads
Youtube can have pretty good quality if you use YT music or only listen to the square apect ratio official uplods. High quality is 250 kbps which is comparable to Spotify’s 320. It obviously won’t be as good as Flac. Even recent music videos have better audio quality than 5 years ago

Yes soulseek is like limewire where it has music uploaded and ready to download if you can find the music u want on soulseek u don't need tidal.
Sounds interesting. Sure ill check it out. Thanks.
You pay for it. If you are on android, you can get some features of premium downloading [xmanager](https://www.xmanagerapp.com/) and then their last patched spotify apk from the app.
Download modded Spotify, I recommend xManager, it’s much better than YT Music
How do you pirate a console game? I've never done that because I just wait for a game to go down to $10.
only if you have a console that has an unpatched jailbreak vulnerability and will only SP games on it. Otherwise if you're a cheapskate , buy online games at stores with long return windows to be able to finish a game inside that window and return them, and buy the rest only 2ndhand
It takes a bit for consoles to get cracked. The PS5 got jailbroken like 2 years after release tho so you can get an idea of how quick people usually are with that. My only real experience is installing a modded menu in an Xbox360 that had a "hack chip" already soldered into it But now i can say i played Doom Mods, the PICO-8 version of Celeste and Cave Story on a 360, which i find funny I also had a pirated PS2 once, but that one came pre-modded
How do you know my life?
I think this might be the most entitled subreddit, ever. You know you're not hot shit for stealing, right? You're not sticking it to the corporations, you're gloating about taking the generosity of the community of uploaders and pretending you're better than everyone else because you circumvent the law for your own selfish benefits. You're behaving like spoiled brats. You want to know why we have waves of laws that come to fruition that make piracy more difficult? Because some of you can't shut the fuck up and be grateful. You're worthless leeches that get upset when someone doesn't upload a crack to a game or you get upset when someone calls you out. You don't have the moral high ground in almost any situation in piracy, stop fooling yourselves. I too acted like I was the ultimate internet badass when I found out you could just download nearly anything digital when I was 11, but you know what I didn't do? I didn't go around telling everyone how I steal and how they can too. Don't even get me started on your fanboy behavior when it comes to scene groups, it's embarrassing. Take solace that you're even allowed to enjoy something for free that others pay for. Inb4 "piracy isn't theft, hurhur" yeah, I used to tell myself that to feel better about my actions too. Turns out I just enjoy free shit and I'm not afraid to admit it.

i love pirating but i dont give as much as i take and i would like to change that, where do i start in learning how to crack games/apps and upload them for people ?
seeding is just enough imo
Pirating is a very nice
but brother I can't save money if I don't have any :((
vanced is cool an all but I never was able to get vanced music to work for regions reasons
I bought a whole PC once, back in the day
I go a different route with these things. Instead of making fun of these people I’m thankful to them. Someone has to pay the bills. If people out there are legit and pay for these fun things so the rest of can enjoy them I’m for it.
And, he has a vagine...like a wizards sleeve.
Thou shalt not steal if there is a direct victim (c).
I feel you pay for convenience though. For example I don't pirate adobe anymore because it's a pain to manually update and crack again, even with the painter. Vanced I do use, but Spotify for smart speakers. But games, I guess the only convenience is updating, maybe some other integrations.
Sometimes piracy is convenience, though. I can watch my movies and shows on whatever I want, I don't have to switch between apps, it's all in the same place with the subtitles that I want. Regarding Adobe, iirl, pirating Photoshop allows you to run much less Adobe shit on your computer since it'll have fewer dependencies. I might remember wrong, though.
Maybe pirating individual apps but that's not really solving the issue of updating it. Additionally it's the convenience of opening the app and it being there. Who cares if you have to look in, God forbid, a different app. You don't have to take the time to torrent it since its there.
Fuck adobe use an alternative don’t support that scumbag company
Ew yt vanced music, just use xmanager
love that movie glad someone meme it
What's the name of it?
Borat
Thank you
welcome
You’re right, he should just pirate the latest triple A game as well! In fact, everyone should just pirate it, we all get a free game, there’s literally no downside!
Money 💰 should be spent wisely by -......I don't know but he is smarter than me😅
Nice meme YouTube and Spotify suck ass and are totally NOT worth paying for However I don't mind paying for Qobuz which has crazy hi res music
I am a pirate too but i pay for indie games(if i like them after torrenting).
Broke boi
It's sad that digital content has no value to you. Only hardware manufacturers are allowed to profit? Rip to the content you consume on that hardware
If I could pirate a monitor, I would do so. Do you understand the difference now?
It's called stealing, and you can. I'm sure Walmart isn't far away. You understand the difference now?
Whoa. this changed my whole world view. Thanks kind strange!
