Sadly not really. 1995 man, no digital cameras. I think I have one somewhere of me and my buddy in the jet, but it just looks like two dudes sitting ass to nuts on the floor of a plane with a bunch of other people hahah and one of me half dropping trow to show off my hip tattoo in tent city.

Other than the war part of it, where do I sign up?!?!?!

Reminds me of a bi-plane jump I did at the World Freefall Convention in the mid-late '90s in Quincy, IL. Reach up, grab a bar attached to the wing, plane goes inverted, you hang from the wing and then let go. It was as cool AF as you might imagine. Second only to the Hot Air Balloon jump. The Jet was fun because it was a 727 but it felt like any other high and fast jump. But those two? Gold man.

Fuck it. Ship them. They still aren’t worth $100k and don’t cost more than 100c. The grift is complete.

ACK, sorry if I missed that. Well, hmmm yeah depending on the laptop you can still do some of the things I said.

Then again, I see you edited now and is was Garuda issues so there’s that :) Glad you figured it out.

There are of course a myriad of reasons for which you’ll get a lot of ideas. Some have already suggested running memtest.

I’d suggest a full hardware “scrub”. Open the case, clean out all dust with a blower (don’t forget the PSU!!!), wiggle or remove-reinsert all electrical connections, especially CPU and RAM, but also GPU and expansion cards, storage (data and power), etc etc. Basically if you can plug it in, give it a wiggle to break any oxide layers or as I said remove-reinsert. Might not even hurt to double check your CPU and GPU thermal paste contact if it’s old and might have dried out.

Then double check your overall air flow. Your CPU might be cool as a cucumber, but maybe your m/b is getting too hot from lack of air flow. Ironically its possible that a cool CPU = slower fan = less airflow around SB chips and power chips.

I was having escalating browser freezes from random weekly to random daily to random hourly or worse, on a system that was stable for years. I did the above and added another case fan for better MB flow. Now my CPU runs cooler, the CPU fan runs even slower, and I’ve been rock steady for 2 weeks without a single freeze-up.

But the way they stopped it was hilarious!

It was a risk not adding /s especially since I tried really hard to not be too absurd as to be obvious. I will take your unease as a compliment :)

A common misconception. Take the so called “light bulb” for instance. People think they emit light. They do not. They ingest darkness. They are dark suckers. They pull in all the darkness around them, but objects get in the way, and that’s why there are shadows. And when they’re full, they stop working. That’s why they have a brown spot when they stop working, they are full of dark.

Don’t fall for the light emitting conspiracy. LONG LIVE THE DARK SUCKERS!!!

I believe this is called the Salieri zone

Well if it’s just painted string then who needs scissors? You have a cat!

Came here to ask the same-ish thing. I’m guessing field medic? Only reason to need scissors at the ready I can think of.

Either that, or the Russians are using some shitty razor wire.

I want to laugh but … well … I’m not crying YOU’RE CRYING

pretty much yes to keys and hashes. Just think HDCP and HDMI

That said, I imagine it’ll have to be easier to hack software that isn’t embedded in hardware. but it’s also easier to issue revocation lists when you don’t have to worry about bricking everyone’s hardware. So I have no idea which way that balance tilts.

why did you waste your time asking that question when you already knew the answer?

It’s always the profits!!!

Yeah it’s painful seeing how low it is. I lived there back in '99 which meant I also got to drive/ride over the damn itself. Good times.

Well there are plenty of reasons to throw shade at Vegas, but one thing they are doing well is water management.

I probably won’t use this because I’m lazy. But still want to say thank you for your efforts to support the community.

MY POOPLE NEED ME!!!

haha!!

Unrelated/related: it was Stargate that sort of cemented my atheism. I hadn’t thought much about my own “-ism” until I was watching the show (I was also at an age to start thinking about those things). Up until then I was just an apathetic non-religious, didn’t really think about “god” at all either way. Stargate triggered my apathy into coherent and connected thoughts along the same themes as Stargate’s, “there are no gods; if there are they suck anyway; fight the power!”
