After seeing the condition of gbatemp after NSMB Wii hasn't been working, I realized how clever Nintendo actually is. The protection on the game disk is just the tip of the iceberg, it seems to me that their actual protection method is to overload websites that usually help piracy, like gbatemp, until they are no longer usable, forcing people to buy the games if they want to play them. Well played Nintendo, well played

Well, a lot of people will get impatient and simply buy the game if the piracy option is a few days late or is too complicated. I'm betting half the n00bs gave up on clicking "refresh" here and went and bought the game in the meantime.

I'm not so sure it's Nintendo's intent with the new piracy protection, though

Their intention was to prevent piracy, period, not to reap the possible benefits of a possible delay their new measurement might cause.

Or it just forces pirate kiddies to wait a few days until people stop flooding the site.
They'll be back in a few days then.
Anyways, I was only joking, cuz I'm pretty sure Nintendo didn't do it intentionally.

Yes, they are giving out free copies of New Super Mario Bros. Wii to the 12 year olds who post at least 5 deconstructive replies here.

    You just use the terminal to download things, I don't think you have to compile every download

    @K3Nv3,
    If you just need to surf the Internet, then maybe so. But if you need to do some serious work, there are often no open or closed tools for Linux at all.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Yeah Linux has its own store with most apps you need
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    It's mostly github projects that require specific sh files for install
  • lapot2 @ lapot2:
    and on Windows these tools are already ready, you take them and use them
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Every os has its place
  • Kirbydogs @ Kirbydogs:
    yea either way Linux isn't for me lol
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Linux is also good for android devs and what not for obvious reasons
  • lapot2 @ lapot2:
    so for the near future Linux will remain a parody of a normal operating system with a bunch of compatibility issues and program availability

    I remember windows being near $150 whenever the smallest virus got installed and back then the average person didn't know about cracked files

  • lapot2 @ lapot2:
    and also, no one writes open source software with good intentions.All this is done either for some task of the developer in the process of his work on his questions, or is used in other paid products that are capable of providing this development.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    @lapot2, I feel like you over fear open source software it's not that spiteful
  • lapot2 @ lapot2:
    for this reason there will never be any serious open source software.money money money
  • lapot2 @ lapot2:
    without support from closed paid software - no open software would exist at all.And even GitHub requires material resources for its maintenance
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Without open source software we wouldn't have all these android devices we'd be forced to stick with apple
  • lapot2 @ lapot2:
    @K3Nv3,
    How can you be afraid of something that doesn't exist?:D
  • lapot2 @ lapot2:
    @K3Nv3,
    So you think Android is open source? Go ahead and get into your phone to change the firmware.Or better yet, try replacing the faulty flash memory or processor in it. :D
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Flash memory is hardware based not software based
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    I have flashed older android devices using twrp
  • lapot2 @ lapot2:
    you will be sincerely surprised, but the open part of android is not used anywhere at all.on the contrary, everything is maximally closed, and of all the phone manufacturers, only Lenovo provided the source code, and even then it was not complete and not for long
  • lapot2 @ lapot2:
    @K3Nv3,
    You don't understand anything about this topic, and that's why you think so.Flash is divided into sections, like logical disks. Substitution of sections has long been prohibited, they are protected by checking checksums.You probably won't find a single phone that would provide the ability to normally change the operating system.I don't take into account the eternally glitchy TWRP-based crutches, this is child's play, nothing more.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    People have swapped storage chips in phones before if you're skilled enough I know I'm not
