As stated numerous times; if you want access to paywalled papers Sci-Hub will do that for you.

Copy-paste the paper heading in here:
https://sci-hub.ru/
(There are other URLs worldwide due to the 'Pay me for research I got hold of for free' types trying their best to shut Sci-Hub down.

VirusTotal is a free way to check the safety of URLs, using around 60 anti-virus apps.)

Well; I hope you read that (Was it short enough? ) and find it helpful.

You might also NB Intel's Compiler for a good example of 'Industrial sabotage' at work under everyone's very noses:
The compiler checks for 'Genuine Intel' and uses a much slower code path from the 386 days on non Intel CPUs.
ie: Hardware extensions like SSE and AVX etc are ignored and unused in all software compiled with Intel's compiler, running on non Intel CPUs.

I use 'Intel Compiler Patcher':
https://www.majorgeeks.com/files/det...r_patcher.html
to rectify this on my AMD Windblows system.
I patched files, including one from AMD's latest driver package! as recently as a month ago.

(You might consider a campaign to 'save' people from this 'dangerous' patcher when you're done 'savioring' (your rep..?) here! )
