Mostly I don't use my computer when I am not at work. I have other hobbies and I have enough of computer at work (I am a software developer). I only pirate movies and tv shows. I don't even pirate music. I just use YouTube music, with turkish family account (it's the cheapest, around 1,20€ - 1,80€ per month for 6 accounts). I was using Netflix, but since they started blocking account sharing I stopped using Netflix. It's too pricey for how much I watch movies and tv shows. For Windows I usually download iso from microsoft, and find activator on mydigitallife forum. If I need to download some software (like Office for example) from some torrent tracker, I am lucky we have local private tracker that is known and used by whole country. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] TheQuantumPhysicist@programming.dev 5 points 3 years ago (1 child) I don't even use Microsoft Office anymore after the last Medusa bug in msdt that compromised computers without opening the virus files.
