A program that is supposed to make money when you’re sleeping by automatically trade currency pairs. Usually they aren’t as miraculous as their devs are stating.

It stands as “expert advisor”

I did, because I wanted to run multiple copies of it.

The cracked version was running much more smoothly (10x less memory usage) due to missing DRM encryption

My thoughts on it from a decade ago: https://www.forexperiments.com/2012/10/the-price-of-protection.html

This said, most expert advisors programs aren’t really functional, need a human supervision. IMHO the devs make more money from the sales/subscriptions of their software than running their “money making machines”. After all, if your “completely automated money machine” actually works, why would you bother in paying marketing, DRM schemes to have other people using it?

they fired the guy that single handedly managed meshcommander https://github.com/Ylianst/MeshCommander

it was a tool to remotely control intel vpro machines, intel’s own tool is not as good as what the old ex-employee did in his free time

I tried to seed the torrents but I never found anything that needed seeds, most users download via browser

But at the same time they paid reddit millions to train on “authoritative” posts like that one from “fuckSmith” that suggested to add glue to pizza

Generally good at supporting phones but not at supporting computers, a 5-6 years lifetime is unacceptable from an environmental point of view.

I experienced it last week when I turned on an old Mac with MacOS 10.7. It can’t run anything. Everything that you download doesn’t run anymore, Firefox and chrome are limited to some ancient version like 40 that breaks every modern website and due to some expired SSL root certificate you can’t access any website that’s using let’s encrypt which is a big chunk.

And it’s like this not from recently but at least 5 years, so it was put in a corner and never turned on anymore until last week

It can theoretically be updated to some newer version but the updater to 10.8 has been delisted from the store so you have to alternatively source that.

For comparison, a PC that was purchased the year prior to that Mac is running the latest version of windows 10 without any issue (except slowness due to the 1st gen core architecture)

The CPU speed and ram size is irrelevant in this case, it’s slow because it needs to load ads and sponsored results from internet first

How can they know that the user has a 27" or bigger screen?

Screens report the size via HDMI and not only the name/resolution?
