Legally, you’re allowed to make copies of games that you own and use them in an emulator. You can download mods, play multiplayer across the Internet when servers get shut down and also take advantage of better hardware and get better resolution and framerates, then there are quality of life improvements like savestates.

I don’t own an IBM mainframe so.

ESXi sucks

It is infringement if you’re sharing the files, but if you make a copy for yourself, then it’s considered fair use. See: Sony Corp. of America v. Universal City Studios, Inc.

Internet isn’t always available, such as in an airplane or someone might not want to give access to the Internet to their child but wants to give them video or audio on a tablet. They can legally copy the content and watch it later.

There are legal issues with software that is solely designed to bypass drm, but that only applies to the software creator, not the user.

That isn’t piracy. It’s time shifting, and it’s perfectly legal to do it.

I had one that intentionally detected a VM and just gave a message that said “Hello :)” and wouldn’t load.

AI can easily replace upper and middle management.

There’s is pretty much one sketchy site for this stuff I can’t remember the name of it, but I think it requires a payment to access downloads. Almost all pirated car software comes from eastern Europe.

You want to have at least 3 if you’re going to do that. I usually use the one on the mobo for all the other services and management. Then a dedicated port for lan and wan on a separate nic.

Their argument for “safety” always bothered me, their app store is full of garbage and malware. They just want their 30% cut.

It could also be that they are better about reporting incidents than other employers. I’m also curious what they mean by “the industry” if they mean automotive manufacturers or manufacturing in general. I work at a plant that makes parts for heavy equipment, which is similar to automotive, but obviously not automotive. We’ve had 2 recordable incidents this year. One of which was due to someone not wearing their issued cut resistant gloves while handling metal scraps and then needing stitches. There wasn’t any reason for them not to wear their gloves except for laziness or complacency.

Lock out procedure wasn’t followed properly. You’re supposed to check that equipment is in a safe state before you go into a dangerous area like that.

No, but Amazon decides what you see on the top half of the main screen unless you install a custom launcher. You can use your own photos for the screen saver. You can side load android apps. I use one called “smart YouTube tv” which blocks YouTube ads and has sponsor block built in.

Just get a firestick

Create a medicat USB and clone the old drive to the new one.

In the us there is a 3 year statute of limitations by law. A 2014 supreme court decision stated that “laches” could still be applied in very narrow cases.

Copyright and other laws will be different for other countries.

I think there must be some legal worry if they don’t enforce their copyright so they have to pretend to care about low level piracy.
