Even those who work state side directly with the company follow a script and are often not allowed to deviate. It doesn’t help that people who know how to support the product are usually worth more than call centers are willing to pay.
I stopped pirating when we got a Netflix sub for reasonably cheap.
I started pirating again when I realized we were subbed to six different platforms, paying over $1k a year for the content, and still couldn’t watch what we wanted sometimes. The fact that I had to jump through hoops to find the thing I wanted to watch was also quite infuriating.
Theoretically. You’d likely need to get a constitutional change pushed through to even achieve the headline, since the presidential pardon is granted by the constitution.
You’d also need to get a law on the books which would allow retroactive revocation of the previous pardons.
That would been to be veto proof, for obvious reasons.
So, companies should be legally forced to produce DVDs?
I will admit forcing a form factor is ill advised, but it should be possible to purchase a legal and permanent copy of said production in one form or another. Even if that is digitally, so long as it can be downloaded and doesn’t need some sort of online/phone home solution to play it.
It really comes down to what kind of speed you want. You can run some LLMs on older hardware “just fine” and many models without a dedicated GPU. The problem is that the time taken to generate responses gets to be crazy.
I ran DeepSeek on an old R410 for shits and giggles a while back, and it worked. It just took multiple minutes to actually give me a complete response.
Sadly the linked example doesn’t seem to work on ios.
