If you dropped an original iPod that still had a hard drive in it and it stopped working, the fix on every forum was to just drop it again

Bar soap top to bottom. Big Shampoo has played you all for fools

Just don’t install it alongside Windows.

So I can get close enough to airdrop photos of my penis to the president of the United States. What did you think I was going to use it for?

Original Xbox modding is fun as hell. You need to track down a 300GB PATA/IDE hard drive, then load the sucker up with ROMS. The modded OS comes with a built in FTP server so its pretty effortless to load up it with ROMs. Last I tried (like 10 years ago) Xbox reliably played roms from SNES and older, and could less than reliably but still successfully play N64 and PS1 games. I was even able to change CDs on FF7.

Man I want to mod an Xbox now. If I remember right, you need a copy of mech assault…

How’s that Kool aid taste? You’re not even worth debating, it’s clear you’re a lost cause. Keep believing this, and let the rage build inside you.

This was part of the fictional operating system in the book Little Brother. I think it inspired similar features in a particular real life Linux build too

The bribe should be on a payment plan, also make sure to give them plane tickets to Spain again.

Lol tell that to Tina Peters.

At tesla its not an unveiling until musk puts a brick through it

I love the way Russians carry over their curse-as-punctuation into English. I don’t know russian enough to really describe what’s going on that well, but they usually toss the blayt on the end of a sentence, but it feels different than how we do in English. Like, if we say ‘this fucking guy’ it’s very different than ‘this guy, fuck!’ There’s a lot more anger to it, right? But you can catch Russians saying in english ‘this guy, fucking…’ when they want to convey the feeling of ‘this fucking guy.’ I love it every time I catch it.

And after I made an AHK script to check all those boxes, I’d make another AHK script to beat the shit out of that game in 10 minutes. If it’s multi-player I’m specifically ruining the fun for others with my cheating. Fuck games like that, fuck companies like that.

They unknowingly provided me with a completely different game to play.

Or channel your inner kitboga and waste their time.

Lol Russian soldiers on US soil? The US military would do good to hang back, avert their gaze, and let the US citizens handle things how they see fit. Plausible deniability and all that

ISP worker here. Our chosen routers default to an 8 digit password, the first 4 are the last 4 of the mac in hex, which anyone can easily see being broadcast by the wifi network. The last 4 are a part of a unique serial number, but its just 0-9. Ultimately, if you try to brute force this default password, you need 10000 tries. It takes a regular GPU 2 minutes with hashcat. It baffles my mind that companies think this is OK.

Came here to say Zomboid!

Also, OP, dont be afraid to jump straight into mods. You dont have to fuss with a single file. Right from the start, inside the client, you can join modded multiplayer servers. The mods are automatically installed and applied then and there. Zero setup! I say this because a whole heap of mods are strictly quality of life and they really ease the learning curve.

However, picking and choosing your own mods for your own server is the headache you might expect. Let some saintly admin do all that work for you.

Heres what you do - go to the bank today, get $50 in pennies…

Maybe its just the way you say it.

At least he got the injestable version, Trump is still on the topical cream.

I cant say enough great things about these rural electric companys rolling out their own fiber. I had an interesting opportunity a while back to do contracted field work for a bunch of small midwest/gulf state electric companies, and was absolutely blown away by the work they’re doing.

The first one I worked, I was extremely confused by the communications on all of their poles thinking ATT came through and delivered the nicest fiber id ever seen to cows and corn until I came across the linemen casually splicing fiber on the back bumper of their bucket truck. ATT was copper only in the area, even in the small town they werent even trying - the electric company was dominating.

The whole mood was wild really, most of these companies were co-ops that were tied into the community already, and its really the community that decided the co-op should do internet too. I never got to be an actual customer of any of these, so i never got to know what it feels like to tell ATT to kick rocks and then actually be able to do something about it. But every single customer and employee was feeling it and it wasnt hard to get them grinning about it.

The options available to them were also something to behold. Its their poles. Communications always go under power, and normal communications companies kinda sorta just work with what they get after the electric company uses all the space they need. These guys can rearrange their electric lines to make way for communications all in the same day. ATT would probably get bogged down under 8 months of red tape if they tried to do that.

One of these co-ops would even use space on their poles for directional wifi antennas. Some rural houses would have a half mile driveway, and the power line has long since been buried, so they just beam internet wirelessly from fiber on the main road and skip the expensive buildout to lay fiber for one person. I got to chatting with one guy that had this setup. His house was downhill from the road, so right next to his house they ended up installing the absolute tallest wooden utility pole i have ever seen, i dont even remember the footage, but all that was on it was a single 10 inch wifi dish at the very top. He still got a few hundred both ways, those directional antennas were impressive, and they just power them off their own electric grid.

It really was a daily eye opener of how it could be if these shit ISPs didnt control everything. I strongly encourage everyone to look up to see if youre served by one! You might be surprised, they sometimes whittle in close to some larger cities, if you live in some newer neighborhoods on the outskirts…but man look at me ramble
