Send wave after wave of my own men at it.

It’s so gimmicky compared to something actually useful, like better battery.

Based on OPs experience this is the best solution.

If they want to learn, I found plex + plexamp was pretty easy to get going.

FYI, it’s entirely justifiable

People in China don’t have a good stock market to invest in to “diversify”. They also don’t have good government programs like social security. The only investments are houses, shops, or your kids. If you chose houses and the market crashes and your kid can’t help, you’re screwed and will likely end up on the street.

I don’t support piracy of Adobe, because you’re still using their ecosystem and still supporting it by propagating its use. Just stop using their trash, seriously.

Dozens!

The theater just projects pirated copies rather than DRM copies

Contributions that aren’t explicitly Marxist are heavily down voted. Overall the atmosphere is less neutral and less helpful.

Income method breaks down for extremely wealthy. Top net worth individuals typically have very low or zero income and most of their wealth comes from assets.

Businesses who want to make money need a way to make a product that can’t be trivially reproduced on any basic computer. Or at least a way to distribute their product more conveniently.

You mean make a copy of the car then.

I don’t trust any proprietary software. I don’t like putting a lot of work into something only to have the rug pulled out from under me by an arbitrary change from the dev. Open source means I can always keep using the software, even if it means I have to push code myself.
