First thing I do is unhide file types now since I grew up in the limewire era.
The fact that Windows hides file extensions by default is just absolute insanity to me.
My favourite was when people would then use limewire to pirate limewire pro and double up on the malware
No need to be suspicious, it’s just a self extracting zip file. Convenient and downloads faster!
It flashed a command prompt, that’s how you know it worked!
Limewire is the new beans on Lemmy or something? This is the 7th Limewire post in 2 days…
Lemmy is in danger of growing stale. We’re taking it to strange new places.
Mate, you’ve only been here for 14 days.
May be a bot network testing posting and sentiment manipulation.
Ahh limewire the virus sharing program
Deleting system32 fixed my issues.
For linux/mac users it’s writing “rm -rf / “ into the terminal
Kazaa and emule where more legit 😅. Still happened sometimes.
BearShare was always the superior option
I still remember bricking my mom’s gateway computer while downloading eps of love hina, blade 2 soundtrack and next door Nikki videos off of limewire…sorry mom.
Gateway bruh…hahah
E machines for me. Xp sp1 lol. 512mb ram.
Lol I remember eMachines. Integrated graphics on a desktop tower and the thing sounded like a leafblower under load. Also I believe it wouldn’t support a dedicated GPU either.
Man… I had that thing humming trying to run Sims 2. But diablo 1 rand like a champ. I cooked that thing so many times, it’s what taught me how to rebuild windows. Eventually my family gave up on saving files to the computer.
A friend of mine when I was 12/13 downloaded some hacks for Combat Arms (a free FPS back in the day) and made his windows unusable (with “noob” as the time).
Good memories
