A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Only use torrents if you know what you're doing. In the developed world, this usually ends with a very expensive letter in your mailbox.
You can get a VPN or seedbox to avoid those letters. They are a lot cheaper than a single streaming service.
Using a VPN solved this problem for me. If you don't want to pay for a VPN, then use OpenVPN Connect.
How does that get around paying? You don't pay for the clients but their servers.
Whoops! I forgot to mention that I have a tech friend that gave me a free profile/account that I use with the OpenVPN client.
So, if you don't want to pay for a VPN get someone to give you access to theirs for free?
I had, simply, forgotten that my friend had given me a free account.
I guess Canada must be undeveloped, cause I've never seen one of those "expensive letters" in my mailbox
