my favourite might be Photoshop, it maybe doesn't happen quite as much over the last couple of years but so many people seem obsessed with the idea that they must have it "for photography" or "for college" despite not having any real idea what to do with it.BillyGoat wrote:Hell, even Open Office, Libre Office, etc is better than a pirated version. I've seen some funny things in the last few weeks - it's definitely not for me!
Open source Linux is free to use, eliminating the OS price entirely from consideration. There is so little need for Windows now, even for gamers Linux take up is likely to snowball over the next few years with SteamOS likely to lead to much better driver and api support. It's a bit cynical, but Android is Linux with proprietary crap for ad delivery bolted on. Anyone who learn to use a smartphone or tablet should be able to adapt to any number of user friendly desktop Linux distros.Razor wrote:If you want one like mine the cost of the OS will be much less significant
Great bit of kit BG, Needed to update one of the drivers otherwise faultless.BillyGoat wrote:Icm76 wrote:

If you mean a Microsoft OS and a keygen (or what other method you use) - best of luck to you.
7 in 10 downloaded versions from sharing/torrents/FTP/etc sites are infected or have injected code in some form ranging from key loggers, trojans, etc.
I'm more than aware of BIOS mods, SLP protection, enterprise versions, KMS hacks and all sorts of other methods - wouldn't do it to myself or my family.

Well I've never had issues with it. KMS works extremely well. Some people might upload bad stuff, but it's avoidable by reading comments, or downloading from trusted uploaders.
KMS also works for Office, and even cloud features work. It functions 100% as the real version, including updates.

It's massive. It's basically a problem with OpenSSL (the certificate that means a site is who they say they are amongst other things when you are using secure sites - think of going to your bank, then you see the padlock that says it's secure) that allows attacks to harvest data from a site beyond what they are MEANT to be able to see.thescruff wrote:Talking of bugs BG what are malwarebytes on about in this news latter.

It's a way of creating their certificate.thescruff wrote:So what is open SSL and does/will/could it affect everyone or just a selection
Is it worth running any of the tools in the links.

No, but yes.thescruff wrote:So in theory the newsletter from Malwarebytes could be at risk or fake.
