Wonderful software, easy payment, great rates, but lack of port forwarding is a major fallback. I understand it was due to a very minor chunk of bad actors, but that minor chunk was hosting CSAM and other horrible internet-accessible things, and no way to track what traffic is where, means they had to remove the feature for the 98% of good faith users.

But I almost refuse to use AirVPN's software. It's so... weird. I'm thankful they support wireguard with zero issues, so I can just use the default network manager and apps for Linux/Android, but that client interface is so backwards compared to Mullvad and iVPN.

Still miss port forwarding.

It doesn't help Adobe has software patents for their products, so anyone who makes a similar program has to either live in a country that doesn't recognize the "right" to claim you invented math, or be risk being sued.

If someone is unaware of piracy: Tell them.

If someone is aware of piracy and doesn't care: "I don't really know, I just got it off of a torrent site."

If someone is aware of piracy and cares too much for a company they don't work for: You can ignore them.

Syncthing is a god sent tool. Maybe I should use it for that if I can on my Xbox and Switch. I know I can for steam screenshots.

It took Nintendo years to enable Bluetooth on the switch. The same tech the pro controller and joycons use. Years. Modders had it nearly day one of opening the console.

How do I get a screenshot to my phone?

  • Turn off WiFi, enable it to make a temp local wifi, scan a QR code. Then open a web page and download them.

PlayStation and Xbox:

  • You can just upload them to the network you already pay for, or put them on a flash drive.

I know a decent amount of friends who use(d) Twitter to share moments and screenshots of after-game reports and random "aint this wild?" Moments.

And Splatoon on Switch got a big bonus from the memes the sharing enabled due to user generated content.

I love this recurring post. Please keep it up.

Switch and Xbox here: Xbox can do clips and screenshots, and upload to social media with one button.

It can also send all the clips and photos to an external storage device, which is what I do so it's easy to sync clips for making edits of them for videos and jokes.

Nintendo feels so bizarre in how they handle the screenshots. "Here's a dedicated screenshot button! Good luck sending this to anyone not on Facebook or Twitter!"

When there's third party apps and programs to make the job of Nintendo and it's fans easier, they fucked up.
