hmmm, this actually sounds good: got the same gaming experience and can same some battery when browsing web pages. Wondering how to configure my Intel laptop to do it.
Agreed, this actually sounds like spot-on for a common use case: you've got your laptop with you, you've been working a while or gaming and you close it as your battery starts to ebb. But a little while later, you realize you need to check your calendar or email for something for your upcoming meeting/date. Open up the laptop, find the info, close it again. You really didn't need 100% poer to read an address, did you?
Nah, that won't work. China is a member of WTO and follows the TRIPS agreement. Therefore, I guess the RIAA will just go court in China, and they can still take down any repository which they'd like to. Lots of companies from the western country have won intellectual lawsuits in China.
Sites like sci-hub works in a way tricky manner. You can't expect an ordinary company which is in another country to do so, because they are still inside the framework of the international capitalism.
