the first thing I’d do would be login (cause it’s necessary), enable adb, disconnect the internet, block firmware updates, and restrict dns then reconnect to the internet.

You have to realize maybe a small handful of people that own these devices will do any of that. They’ll just plug in and go. Sure they may know how to side load, but they aren’t taking any other preventative measures as you suggest, nor do they have the know-how to do so.

I’d imagine Amazon initiated these via firmware updates that just about anyone would blindly install. The updates probably included scripts to uninstall any “unauthorized” APKs, disable developer options, restore factory system settings, lock the user profile from modifying the system, etc.

“So how did your house catch fire?”

“Well, I saw this meme…”

Here, people are dressing up as cops and going aggro on random players.

So basically the exact same thing that’s happening IRL.

Okay but who’s the one defining a protest as violent?

I’ll give you a hint, it rhymes with cocks

They were eating meatballs and forgot to mention it, some say they’re still there to this day.

It’s also extremely prevalent in areas of high humidity, further compounding sweaty asscrack syndrome.

AirBnB is almost directly responsible for the surge of housing prices in my local town, and they should die in a fire.

You do see how that’s a terrible idea, right?

I’ve been using Valvoline, but I bring my own oil and filter, and they actually do use a torque wrench on everything I can tell. It’s $60 (with coupon) for my 6.7 that I also have them rotate my tires, I’m in and out in 30 min, and I don’t have to dispose of the oil. Just turn down the the other services, especially the air filter (that I typically replace while I’m waiting in line), and they’re not too bad. I just wish they’d do my fuel filters, but LiAbIlItY.

The bus speed just translates to how quickly data can be transferred through the mobo to your card to be processed/rendered. I’d just pop it in and configure it, then run a benchmark program, which will tell you where your bottlenecks are. In terms of functionality there’s no reason it shouldn’t work, but don’t expect newer AAA games to run at full spec.

Assuming PCIe, you’ll be limited to the bus speed of whatever version your motherboard has, but otherwise you should be able to get video fine as long as you get your drivers configured correctly.

Meh, these systems are ripe for false positives, all it does is weed out riskier drivers, or provide incentive to encourage reduction in pay and benefits in order to mitigate said “risk.” These systems are cancerous.

The lady has sung.

Nope, refuse.

Or seek greener non-ai-infested pastures

I’m with you, my original point was that I wasn’t aware of any rips that fot OPs criteria, and that they might be better off doing that legwork themselves.

Hey I’m right there with you, I have the bluray releases for mine. OP though is after a specific version, which I think was ever available in HD.

That’s where I’m not sure. According to wikipedia, no. So then yeah, laserdisc would provide the best image for those releases at 425, but a PAL laserdisc would give 440, in contrast to VHSs NTSC resolution of 240. That said, the 90s release was itself a 20th anniversary remaster of the originals, though allegedly there exists a copy for long term preservation that was never released. But, I’d have sworn that the 20th remaster saw a limited release on DVD, but that would again be something to be found on eBay or from a collector if it exists.
