The reason these drives bother with firmware that makes them look larger to the operating system is so that people buy them and don't notice it was a scam until after the return ratio. Also I don't know what the internal politics

You can get EDID spoofers on Amazon for about 20$ for these kinds of issues.

Yeah I definitely do, the hose is stupidly clunky but as someone with allergies the big advantage is there's no pass through of fine particles into the room you're vacuuming.

The loan part is really bizarre to me; how does one borrow 80m without the lender knowing who you are, why would a lender lend 80m without knowing the borrower, and if you're anonymous enough to steal the money from Beanstalk then why

Yeah there's a reason linking accounts together gives you free items in a ton of games; Twitch Prime Loot might have started that trend but now everyone is doing it.

You can install VirtualBox and pass the USB floppy device through to any OS that can read it.

There is another novella in the universe called Thousandth Night! I thought it was excellent.

It's definitely a cynical take but I don't mean it as gatekeeping; I think people get hyped up in gaming devices pre-launch like the Ouya that are better done anywhere else and when they actually try it are underwhelmed and don&#x

It's for people not really interested in games to buy and then proclaim breathlessly on social media that it's just so amazing and lifechanging , before it goes permanently to a shelf visible in all their Zoom calls to never be p

I don't think any of that matters at all to people who enjoy the games or virtual worlds. I understand your point, I just disagree that it will matter in any way. >you can buy a digital artwork at a Christie's auction and displ

One of the most tiring retorts is that if someone is negative about cryptocurrency then that means they don't understand cryptocurrency. I assure you many of us do understand it and still think it's an absolute scam and pure wealt

Second Life did this 3D virtual world stuff almost 20 years ago, and even managed to use real money with an exchange rate as well to do exactly the things you're saying are now new with crypto and blockchains. Also for your other point

Know what else is unprofessional? A list of funny ethnic names being shared around. Edit: Like even ignoring for a moment how the employees felt about this how do you think customers and prospective customers felt? It's completely inap

Yeah it kinda feels cool to be an official FluWatcher, hope I don't lose my status by talking about it ;-)

This happened to my dad when he upgraded the other day and I spent hours painstakingly trying to fix it and it seems like the recommended fix is reinstalling OSX. Well, he's on Firefox now but what the fuck - this basically affects all

I don't know where you live but in Canada we have programs like FluWatchers which send sample groups a survey every week asking about flu-like symptoms, flu vaccinations (and COVID now) and such every flu season. They can also request

>I don't honestly see much difference between these outcomes. Why is one so morally superior to the other? One of them gives you your remaining lifetime for evidence to be found or overturned; one of them doesn't.

I'm not 100% sure but one of the biggest differences I felt at the time when Blackberry devices were popular was that the whole ecosystem was pitched and geared towards CTOs and CIOs making purchasing decisions versus the end users act

Oh I meant catnip, haha. I think pot definitely has some mild side-effects for sure.

For the same reason I smoke weed. They clearly love it and it has no adverse effects (just don't let them eat it, use it in toys).

There were multiple photos of a man wearing a shirt that said "6MWE" which stands for "Six Million Wasn't Enough", a direct reference to the holocaust. Are you saying you don't believe that sentiment is in line

There are many software tools to give you a RAM disk these days on pretty much all major operating systems - even ones that give you a disk based off of GPU memory!

Completely tasteless, I really don't get why you would put any effort into this project and name it after a Nazi (unless, and I'm being extra cynical here, that's the way they lean??)

It is weird to show but unless I missed something it seems like it's just severe water retention in the legs and a back rash, I don't think those are shocking but maybe I have an iron stomach.

The media in this case is using approximately grade 6 math skills to tally up electoral college votes and declare that beyond most reasonable doubt Biden won. I think you're overestimating what their role is here. They were also very c

I mean presumably you could just have the subject or subjects of the video sign the content. A full unedited interview for example could be signed by the interviewer and interviewee. Edit: This would of course be predicated on PKI being saf
