Top EU Court’s Advisor Explains Why Video Game Cheats Are Not Copyright Infringement
  • I used to use Game Genie to make replays of already-completed games more difficult. By getting more entertainment from what I already had instead of buying new games, I was obviously stealing from the game publishers.

  • Indestrulectible Aura
  • Ah, that's right. Sometimes the cards were adapted to fit the art afterwards. Ankh of Mishra was supposed to be Ark of Mishra (reillustrated as an ark in Fifth Edition) and Hyalopterous Lemur was supposed to be a Lemure (a shadow-like spirit).

  • Indestrulectible Aura
  • It's official, and classic! The first few years, there were not really any guidelines; the artist was given the name of the card (and its color, I think) to illustrate, and that's it.

    New players: "It doesn't grant Indestructible, and it's not an Aura!"

  • Some DNS questions
  • I was recommended by a well-known privacy guide to use Rethink with AhaDNS Blitz, but it seems to fail often; nothing resolves until the VPN is stopped and restarted. Any ideas or advice?

  • Legend 730 Update
  • Just because you put +5V, +12V, and ground on the Molex plug doesn't mean the drive is going to be powered up and spinning. The controller on the drive controls the motors (duh) and may be shutting the whole works down if it's receiving what it interprets as invalid or malformed commands.

    I was trying the same thing years ago, with a mid-90s HDD, a dedicated power supply for it, and a couple different IDE-USB adapters, and never got it to work. The drive shutting down when USB adapter is plugged in sounds familiar.

  • Spectrum Mobile makes offers that they won't honor. Phone trade-ins through Assurant are a bait-and-switch scam. AMA

    I sent in two phones for an offered $1600 total promotional bill credits.

    One phone rejected, for the reason: "won't power on". I videoed myself opening the box on the returned phone, pressing the power button, and turning the phone on, booting into Pixel setup.

    The other, Spectrum is trying to give me $200 credit for.

    I spent hours on the phone with support from both of these scam companies. Do not deal with either of them, you have been warned.

    GRUB on 32-bit UEFI (Nextbook 2-in-1)

    The only distro I can find that successfully configures a functioning bootable GRUB on this (bastard) machine is Nobara, which looks very cool but is way too heavy! Some things are glitchy; attempting tab completion seems to freeze Konsole for ~5 seconds and does not complete the command as expected. We're working with an Intel Atom Z3735F@1.33GHz and 2GB RAM here.

    How can a noob figure out what it's doing differently so I can apply that to Linux Mint Debian Edition or Crunchbang Plus Plus?

    The weird thing is that once the system is installed, it does not seem to have what I think are the required packages for GRUB to be set up correctly with this type of UEFI.

    nextbook@nextbook:~$ sudo grub2-install /dev/mmcblk

    grub2-install: error: /usr/lib/grub/i386-efi/modinfo.sh doesn't exist. Please specify --target or --directory.
