A hamster is a perfect sidekick… Hamster style is the most dangerous of the kung fu styles…

Hand grenades, at 5 paces lol.

Edit: yeah, there’d be injuries all around but very low skill.

It could just be me, but I see no shame at all in declining a duel. Or are we going to go back to when the challenged get to choose the weapon and location? Naked, with whips, to the death would likely make most people trained with a firearm question it. I’m not sure how popular whips are, but I wouldnt consider myself completely inept with them and could probably tag their twig and berries pretty early on in the fight.

I mark so much crap as spam. I used to use the + trick so I would know who sold my email to them but they appear to have gotten better, now it’s straight to spam with the bullshit.

Man I eventually stopped fighting that hurdle and just changed the login screen to say “Broken-ass auth” so I remember that one is different. I’m the only person using it at my house and recently went back to a car with a CD player and USB port for infotainment (such a refreshing change after a decade and a half of screens in my face) so I haven’t bothered to go back to fix it.

I’m in! As long as I don’t have to get rid of my psx, PSP, ps2, ps3, and ps4. I promise not to give them another dime, or use any of their shitty online services… Though to be honest I started boycotting them about the time the first Destiny expansion was launched.

Ubisoft appears to have been slowly pulling out of the gaming industry, making the play that people want to play their stuff enough to buy a dedicated computer to play it.

If the game can’t run outside of Windows, even an emulated Windows environment, it may as well not exist. Which sucks because I remember some people telling me this one was good like a decade ago or so…

Not with that lock they don’t lol.

Well Debian has been a fun ride for the last 20 years or so… Wonder what’s next…

Yeah, sadly I don’t think it will either, I’m just hoping the jury decides the precedent they truly want to set.

The issue I’m seeing with the whole case is they siezed his phone, they kept his phone, the seizure of his property happened successfully. A person later entered something they believed would open it but instead it wiped it. The end user didn’t wipe it, and didn’t lie to the agents of the state because a duress PIN is still a PIN, I’m willing to wager they didn’t specify that they wanted his ‘unlock PIN’ and instead just asked him for a PIN (personal identification number), which he gave.

Ads killed cable. I still remember having cable briefly in the 80s, we recorded everything on our VCR (anything good) and the best part was those tapes had no commercials.

Granted the cable only had 99 channels max as the two digit red display only had two numbers, but it was glorious.

Meanwhile I’ve got 16GB and opening a third webbrowser causes shit to randomly close… Lol

I want to say the Motorola Droid, but the Droid III had a dedicated number row which was amazing. Either those or my old Razr v3.

I had to RTO to an empty building, after a year and a half or two, two more people moved into the building. All I can think is ‘why must I sit in traffic for an hour everyday to be 80 miles away from my coworkers?’… Then the mortgage comes due and I remember why I deal with the traffic and remember how nice it is not really being contactable after hours (computer stays in the office). I gave way too many free hours away just because I was already in the home office while I ate breakfast or hung out during lunch just because.

It was a Maximo game for the PS2, I don’t remember which but I’m screwed if I can’t figure out how to keep my armor on.

Oh yeah they do. I got my Google GAIL a while back and my son just finished up some AWS one, they are both just variations of ‘Which of our products would you use for x?’.

C|EH was more fun to study for than test for.

Man, 99.9% of those old commands are still 100% valid. Knowing about memory addressing is super useful when you need to help the computer remember that it does what it’s told, even if it doesn’t think you should be allowed to at first.

I suppose it was. The method is drive down dirt roads until you think you see a roof poking through the brush. Take the address to the courthouse and look up who owns the land, then call. We lived there for free, granted it was an old drafty house and was missing window panes here and there. Those we filled with cardboard or plywood (cut to fit the hole), and tapped into place. Our bathroom didn’t have a door, sink (it had a sink, but it was never hooked up), or floor leading up to it (just step joist to joist and don’t rush or you could fall into the dirt/mud under that end of the house).

I’m in my 40s now and just in the past decade or so did I realize how bad it looked from the outside looking in, but to a kid, that was just life. I thought everyone had multiple refrigerators because when one quits working, you just go to the auction and get another to put beside it, as kids we thought it was funny to tell guests to open the other one because it got insanely gross after a while (maggots, black slime that food eventually turned into, etc.).

Never had either of those conversations with my parents. They drank heavily, fought constantly, and for the last 5-6 years of their marriage we lived in an abandoned house so it probably wouldn’t have been a great talk. Instead I just swore I’d be different and in most ways I am.
