>>376887392
I just won't download the update (do you not have a corporate copy that CAN control the update rules? How embarrassing). If somehow they will still implement it, I will download the previous build. If I will have no choice in the matter in the end, well, then I will switch to one of the Linux distributives.

This is actually great, if it doesn't interfere with people using p2p in general, glad I didn't fall for the memes and bought W10 for $100. Piratecucks are subhuman scum and need to suffer.

>>376887392
Plus how the fuck are they planning on finding whether something is pirated or not if they can't fucking find whether their OS is pirated or not for more than 2 decades. If they can't control their own market, they will never control the global piracy. From what we know Microsoft is filled with idiots.

They probably wanted to target small businesses. No big businesses will pay $300, when they have a team of specialists costing them more than that in an hour and for individual users this may be a bit too much. All this assuming that the attack scale was unintentional (after all, this ransomware was reported back in march, yet it didn't strike until few days ago). If it was intentional then it doesn't matter, their main objective is to get as much data as possible, not the actual money they will get from ransomware itself.

>>376888335
>No big businesses will pay
You don't know much about businesses.
300 is fucking nothing.

The current hack that's going on now a few of the big companies are paying up

>>376886642
Does it matter what the price is?

Even if you pay you aren't getting your files back. There is no incentive whatsoever to go through the trouble of unlocking it. Except maybe to lock it again and make you pay again.

>>376884675
DRM.
Cheating tools were never approved in the past, they just didn't bother to stop them existing.
Remember that Action Replay circumvented the DRM for the Dreamcast and let people pirate on the system with only a demo disc.

Console owners will cheat and pirate just as much as PC users given the opportunity, but the harder it is the less it occurs obviously.
Just look at the 3DS, literally everyone hacked and pirated on that system just because it became so damn easy.

>>376887712
>how the fuck are they planning on finding whether something is pirated or not

Theoretically all they'd need to do is check the hash sum of files.

>>376888482
Really? Which ones? It's $300 per machine, businesses that were fucked got most of their machines encrypted through corporate networks. For some businesses it's still not a lot, but there's no guarantee that it will actually decrypt the files, not to mention that they are interested not in just decryption, but complete clean systems

>>376888335
Having an IT team isn't going to be able to decrypt your files.
All you can do is re-image all your computers using backups.

Also hardly anyone paid, the offenders only made $26k in total.

>>376884480
>not using W10 with all update
Retarded console cuck.

>>376888771
>All you can do is re-image all your computers using backups.
I thought they did it resulted in nothing. Either way it still disables the system for a while which results in huge losses.

>>376887392
>defending piracy
KYS. Plus it'll likely be bypassable, so only plebs (basically 99% pirates) will be fucked over.

>>376888840
An encrypted HDD can still be formatted you just can't retrieve the files.
The biggest problem as you said is the down time.
Hospitals had thousands of independently running computers, it would take ages to re-image them all individually.
Big data centers have firewalls, redundancy, backups, etc and don't usually run windows which is why only hospitals, transport and government agencies were hit the hardest, they're infamous for running outdated OSs because "they just work" with very little security or fallback.

It uses an NSA backdoor to spread out to every PC in the network very quickly. But as for how you get it in the first place; like most viruses it's just an infected file that people carelessly download and execute.

No you can't, that's the point of a hash sum.

Games these days have their cutscenes skippable. I don't even remember any recent game with unskippable cutscenes. You can even pause the cutscene to go take a piss or grab a drink.

Also, speedhacks don't make movies play faster you dumb fuck.

>>376890519
>Like, what do you do?
Tons of stuff. Running an executable is just the most obvious one, but just opening a mail or even nothing (by nothing I mean no actions from the user) can lead to an attack. See for example that message that crashed WhatsApp, one of those could be a stack overflow that could lead to remote code execution just from receiving a message.
As for this one specifically it was an exploit supoosedly made by the NSA (a group called the Equation Group, which has been linked to the NSA) and leaked by another group called Shadow Brokers.

The performance gains in some of the GNU/Linux-exclusive Vulkan versions of games have been pretty impressive.

>>376900736
This one? Yes. Like most. It's not something you'd target servers with.

>>376900736
Yes, and only Windows systems with direct network access. So if you're running GNU/Linux, or have Windows properly jailed running inside of a VM on a GNU/Linux host you shouldn't be vulnerable.

>>376887392
It's ok, /v/ is anti piracy now anyway.

>>376902294
I AGREE!

>>376899157
it works sometimes
you have to configure it specifically for each game, and lots of them still crash or run like shit

>>376902941
There are better options for VM gaming, Virtual Box is just easier to setup.
If you really want to do this you need hardware that supports passthrough and a spare GPU that you can dedicate to the VM.

Without passthrough you're better off playing native GNU/Linux games (of which there are a ton now), or playing old games which work well in emulation or with legacy compatibility stuff.

>>376900049
>ffx

>You won't get it if you have Common Sense 2017 installed.
>implying anyone can afford that in current year

>>376904107
>separate (Windows) gaming PC

But that's significantly more money than just a video card if the rest of your hardware is ready, and loses all the benefits that come from isolating Windows and restricting its direct access to hardware other than the GPU.

>or better yet, a PlayStation® 4 Pro gaming console
But the game's I'd play on it actually have native GNU/Linux versions.
If I'm going to buy a console this gen it will probably be a Switch for its exclusives and portability.
