There are many free and libre OCR programs, that have way more accuracy than an "AI"

Yes, and no. No app will display the image if it wasn't already capable of displaying webp, period.

However, there are many places (mainly websites where you can only upload certain formats, but it can also be apps) where the underlying infrastructure supports webp, but they do a simple extension check first with a list of file extensions that doesn't include .webp. In those cases, changing the extension to .jpg will get the image through the filter, and the underlying system will detect the format using the magic number at the beginning of the file.

The same thing can happen when your OS has no associated app to open .webp, but the app it uses for .jpg can also display .webp.

Starbucks coffee isn't coffee, it's sweetened sugar with extra sugar.

Client side anti-cheat (the one installed on your PC) will never work, it's just fundamentally impossible. They can restrict user freedom as much as they want, but the hardware still isn't under their control.

The only reason they push for those kinds of anti-cheats is because they don't have to pay for the extra processing of server side anti-cheat, and they also get the benefit of a backdoor into your computer that you may never fully uninstall without buying a new computer.

There's an even smaller scale tower, also built by the same architect, and also using the same design as the WTC. It's in Madrid, Spain.

Ask people from your country, or look online to see if torrenting is prosecuted there. If people don't get letters from the ISP, you can just enable encryption in your torrent software and forget about it.

I've been torrenting without VPN for a decade (Spain), and never had any issues, not even traffic slowdowns.

Edit: You're probably gonna see a lot of advice to always use a VPN. Most of this advice is from US users, who are not used to torrenting without VPNs. The truth is, as with everything, it really depends. I'm not a fan of generalized answers to questions, and the same advice isn't as good for every situation. VPNs are a barrier of entry, and they also come with a slowdown. If you're starting to torrent and VPNs are not necessary in your country, don't be afraid to torrent without one. But of course, if you're from the US, you'll have to use one!

TLauncher was caught with malware

Minecraft, the game that sold the most copies in history, has a huge infrastructure of community-hosted servers, some with tens of thousands of players playing at the same time. The community has created different flavors of the server software, optimized it, added mod support and even reprogrammed parts of it.

At this point, it's hard for me to believe how someone could say a community can't run game servers with a straight face.

The prohibition is not for your health, it's because everyone else also has to breathe your smoke.

Smoke in private, not in public places, and especially not in public places where children play.

Lucida already didn't rip from spotify, nor does doubledouble. Try to get your songs from another service if they're available (Qobuz and Tidal usually have good availability and high quality)
