Yes. That's why I use Win7 for legacy stuff and Linux for everything else. On Win7 it was still easy to deactivate (disable a few Tasks and a few checkboxes). Since the updates stopped that PC is super stable too.

At least you can get the mods from Nexus. If you have the GoG version of a game and the mod you want is on the Steam Workshop, that royally sucks.
(yes I know you can get most of them with SteamCMD, it still sucks)

I loved The Rabbit Hole. And I still use it. It also runs on xmplay.

It looks like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gl-pYp7LA5o But it works much better with a more distinct BPM, and looks amazing on tempo changes. Also youtube makes it look super dull removing most particles.

Here is an enhanced Sonique plugin that works with xmplay, sonique and VirtualDJ: https://support.xmplay.com/files_view.php?file_id=177

EDIT: found a better one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Euo29LH0M_s but it's potato quality that someone filmed off their crt 13 years ago.

Taking something from Walmart removes the item. This can increase prices for other shoppers and has consequences.

Duplicating/downloading a movie or a games does not. It just creates an identical copy and removes nothing.

Those are not really two things you can compare. I am totally OK with the latter, I consider the former unlawful. I can still go and buy a license to pirated content if I feel it's worth it after I consumed it. I guess Walmart would be very confused if you came back to pay for the banana you stole a week ago because you did enjoy it. Might even get you into trouble.

EDIT: And you're right, it doesn't make sense that piracy is illegal. The law should be changed. At least the punishment is ridiculous.

Of course it can. What did you expect?

Depends on the version. All of them (the newer ones with networking) have TFTP. Some even have HTTPS. I think HP Servers even have HTTPS-Boot with client TLS certificates.
None of it works with Wifi though. iPXE has wifi support for some devices but you obviously can't start it over the Internet. You need to flash a ROM you don't need or use a USB drive to load it. Then you can boot Linux from the Internet. (That also works if you don't have a UEFI Shell in BIOS). https://netboot.xyz can also boot other OSes than Arch.

Not from Epic, no. But there is Legendary https://github.com/derrod/legendary

It's (relatively, don't use the embedded browser) pure Python and runs anywhere. I also use it on my Win7 retro machine because the Epic Launcher sucks. It also supports epic DRM and can log the game in.

That was super helpful to just grab one or two broken files from any installed software though. I just had a 250GB ISO with 2MB of compressed zeroes to get into servers with ridiculous requirements. Fun times...

But it confidently explains the wrong answers.

I just hope politicians don't find out how to use it. It'll be our doom.
