What’s the performance hit for sandboxie?

I know it’s not ideal, but I mainly use an old airgapped/no internet pc to running older/less demanding games. Obviously there’s a risk that the system becomes corrupted and infects the usb stick I use for file transfer, but that’s the gamble I’m taking right now.

If anyone reading this thinks it’s super risky, don’t hesitate to let me know. I’m kinda assuming that most malware/harvesters/miners/viruses will want to connect to the internet, and not go the usb route. Seems like it’d be too much of a hassle, unless you want to take down a nuclear program.

I used to use steam for some stuff, but everything’s so expensive and I’m tired of all the forced updates and always on requirements, so I honestly can’t be bothered and torrent as much as possible. Only buying from GOG now, so I can at least share games with the household. Fuck 1 person licenses.

Which often results these same people to think that polite or nice people are weak or don’t pose a threat. Which can be a very stupid mistake to make.

I should point out that the cinema experience used to be better. People have become more selfish.

Also, it heavily depends on the kind of movies you’re watching. Trash attracts trash.

Unable to connect.

Hug of death?

Is Owl House mainly a kids show? It seems like it.

Same question for Knights of Guinevere? Kids, YA, a bit of both but also interesting for adults?

Or buy a second hand pc for not much more than 50 euros/dollars. Install linux and it’ll be more than fast enough for torrenting, playing media and a bit of surfing. Companies are off loading anything that can’t run windows 11 right now.

Also means you’re not torrenting stuff on your main system while gaming.

America would sooner arrest someone for bypassing the firewall on an article about a prolific child rapist, than arrest an actual child rapist.

Alternative if you want to be hardcore: air gap the system you run questionable software on.

If you’re bored, you can even try to infect it with as much shit as possible.

Doesn’t work as a test system though. Stuff lies dormant waiting for network access.
