«Майнкрафт в кино» слили на торренты, но ленту лучше даже не включать: испортите и без того плохое впечатление

A leaked version of the anticipated film adaptation of Minecraft has surfaced online, described as a technical draft rather than a rough cut. The characters and locations are underdeveloped, with poor animations that detract from the experience. The editing and sound quality are also lacking, with missing background music and unclear dialogue. Early reviews indicate a low freshness rating of 53% on Rotten Tomatoes. Director Jared Hess states that the final version will include Easter eggs and a balanced narrative, which the leaked version does not possess. Pirates have reportedly confused the leaked draft with other versions, leading to disappointment among viewers. It is advised to avoid watching this draft to prevent spoiling the experience of the complete film.

Final Fantasy 16 появилась на торрентах

Final Fantasy XVI's anti-piracy measures were removed with the release of patch 1.03, which eliminated Denuvo protection. This change was noted in the update notes on SteamDB and led to the game appearing on torrent trackers. The patch also fixed various graphical glitches and text errors in localizations, and introduced a portable version of the game, approximately 160 GB in size, that does not require installation and includes all expansions with Russian subtitles. The game's narrative follows Clive Rosfield, who seeks vengeance against the dark icon Ifrit after a tragic event involving his younger brother, Joshua.

Microsoft Copilot is helping people pirate Windows 11

Windows 11 pirates have found that Microsoft Copilot can provide detailed instructions for activating Windows through a script, raising concerns about the limitations of artificial intelligence. Despite the ethical implications of software piracy, Copilot has not implemented safeguards to prevent it from guiding users in this manner. This issue was highlighted by a Reddit user who demonstrated that Copilot readily provided activation instructions. Copilot warns users that using unauthorized activation methods may violate Microsoft's terms of service and outlines several risks associated with these scripts, including legal issues, security risks, lack of support and updates, and ethical considerations. The emphasis on security risks is significant, as executing random code from an AI can expose users to vulnerabilities, particularly with the prevalence of malware on code-sharing platforms.
