They actually won, didn't they?
File sharing is now scattered, marginal, clandestine and only found in very specific ways.
Emule is gone. Rapidshare is gone. MegaUpload is gone. Torrent sites are being taken down one by one or simply becoming useless as unpopular files never get seeded.
We can't even point which blow of these is the worst one. Emule was great for very specific files. You could find roms, music, porn, cracks, .rars of all sorts. I'd literally share my download folder in it and was almost granted to be able to download what I wanted.

Want to find old software? Gone. Want to find a driver to an old device you wish to re-purpose? You may even know where to find it, but it's gone, it was a rapidshare link.

Want to download rare books? Good luck finding a site that has it. Also good luck entering a private tracker, good luck scourging google looking for scraps of what wasn't removed. Good luck waiting for the queue on soulseek.

They have impaired file sharing to this point. It's now easier to find where you should look for drugs on a new city than looking for files on the internet.

Why did IBM abandon Cell? It was way ahead of its time. I mean the year is 2004 or 2005 and game developers were still very stranger to multicore programming concepts. And it had a pretty strong 8 cores that were able to consume looots of data in a cycle. Pretty different architecture, designed for solely multithreading purposes. All the developers did was just whining about how hard it was etc.

They were still planning for a second revision Cell but for some reason they abandoned it.

Now you see PS4 hardware quickly became deprecated in one year due to bloated x86 shit. Nothing special anymore, no flexibility.

Welcome to /fglt/ - Friendly GNU/Linux Thread.
Users of all levels are welcome to ask questions about GNU/Linux and share their experiences.

*** Please be civil, notice the "Friendly" in every Friendly GNU/Linux Thread. ***

Before asking for help, please check our list of resources[*].

If you would like to try out GNU/Linux you can do one of the following:
0) Install a GNU/Linux distribution of your choice in a Virtual Machine using VirtualBox or other software made for this puporse for safety purposes.
1) Use the Live ISO (if your distribution of choice has one) to boot directly into the GNU/Linux distribution without installing anything, that way, you can get to experience the GNU/Linux operating system without installing it.
2) Dual boot the GNU/Linux distribution of your choice along with Windows or macOS, this is recommended if you want to know more about the GNU/Linux operating system.
3) Go balls deep and replace everything with GNU/Linux.

You have 10 seconds to explain why you're not using Mozilla Firefox for Android that allows Browser extensions and why you're using that shitty browser called "Google Chrome" that doesn't allow you to add browser extensions

>Firefox for Android can have adblock
>Google Chrome can't

There's no excuse, Anon.
