What's the history behind cam rips of movies and where have they typically came from?

I’ve seen a few throughout my life at friend’s houses as a kid during the age of Limewire. Typically they were pretty good quality even though you’d see the odd person get up from their seat or hardcoded subtitles. Lately I’ve been curious about the history behind them and how they came to be....

FartSmarter,

Hijacking to pose another legacy piracy question. My dad would often buy pirated DVDs at the barbershop. You know, with the sharpeid title on the disk. Occasionally we would get a DVD with an unfinished movie in it. It would often have a watermark saying something like “Property of Universal “ and some scenes, especially CG heavy ones, would be incomplete. I assume these were leaked from editing houses or the sort but is this a type of release that’s seen in modern pirating?

FartSmarter,

So far I have made two friends two play the entire Portal 2 campaign while I watched just so I can get a hit of the drug one more time

FartSmarter,

Seriously, i was just on a plane that was stuck on the tarmac for around 20 minutes and the plane was super hot (thanks Phoenix) and I thought I was going to freak out at some point. Also made me realize I should really have a bottle of water with me on every flight

What issue is this? Something with the z-seam? (lemmy.world)

Best I can tell, my z-seam after a hop is under extruding? I tried looking at all3dp’s troubleshooting page, but couldn’t find this specific issue. Can someone fill me in on the name of this so I can best Google it? I’d also be happy to take pointers, but I do try to be self sufficient.

FartSmarter,

Whatcha making there? It looks like a shrews fiddle 😉

FartSmarter,

Well stop doing your part. Stop interacting with Reddit. They are almost certainly doing Place right now just to boost their numbers and you’re falling for it

“Oh no, anyways…”

Says the Reddit execs as they show off their numbers to VCs as they prepare for their IPO

FartSmarter,

You say investors see lots of active users who actively hate the site and don’t see future growth.

I think they see a lot of users who say they hate the site but despite that they still use the site and the numbers continue to grow. To me that sounds like a dependent user base that even through hard times continues to grow.

FartSmarter,

I think VCs are idiots… so yes.

NFC tech could get faster and go fully contactless within the next five years (www.engadget.com)

You may be able to pay for purchases and get into train stations without having to physically touch your phone to an NFC terminal in the future. The NFC Forum, which defines the standards for NFC, has revealed a roadmap for key research and plans for near field communication through 2028. Apparently, one of the main priorities...

FartSmarter,

Welcome to ActivityPub! :)

FartSmarter,

Wonder how this is different than just using BLE

FartSmarter,

I know he wants a break. But I would love to see Apollo for Lemmy

FartSmarter,

Yeah, I’m using Mlem for now. It’s pretty crashy right now and feature incomplete but hope to see it get better

FartSmarter,

I’m an old head Reddit user like you. Are you feeling like Lemmy is feeling like the early days of Reddit. Smaller, more of a community feel?
