I’d be very happy just to see Oklahoma actually wait until the polls close to declare the republican presidential win…

I swear every year, they decide it so early I am convinced the electors don’t even care what the vote counts are. There is no fucking way backwards as fuck Oklahoma figured out a way to accurately track and count votes faster than any other state - and voter turnout would need to be so high they know it can’t possibly turn around in the last 2 hours of the polls still being open? Yea right.

North Dakota isn’t real anyway.

Every polling place I’ve ever been to was a church… Separation of church and state, amirite? 😭

That all depended on the player though. I had a car stereo that played MP3 CDs that was able to see folder and navigate folder structure on the CDs. It was great, if your music was already organized in folders, by album for example.

My desktop stereo system, however, only saw the individual .mp3 files and did like you described. It was much more of a pain, but I usually just played from a computer in winamp (rip).

There are almost always ways to verify the correct owner for something like this… None of which it sounds like Microsoft was willing to do, as they only seemed to care about what the current password is.

You are making an assumption that the person can’t provide any way to identify himself as the owner. The story as written states they didn’t care about anything other than the current password.

I worked with a guy that would tell people that coax needed to be “released to ground” occasionally, by unhooking the cable and putting your thumb over the end. That’s how he made sure people were disconnecting and reconnecting the cable from the back of the box. He also told someone that “data might be trapped in the Ethernet cord” and advised they unplug it from both ends and swing it around their head in a circle to “loosen the stuck bits and clear the line”…

I don’t know who won, but I can tell you the American public lost. :(

You’re not alone, I thought the same thing… They don’t look that similar, they would make a really trash “spot the difference” challenge.

Ttrpg character art via midjourney. That’s I think the only thing I’ve ever used.

I always like to throw out 37 because of Dante’s girlfriend.

What’s wild is I have had a 1TB one of these running for like 4 or 5 years now without issues, and I’ve had 2 nice Samsung’s (a 970 and 980) die in that time frame. I’ve basically come to the conclusion that modern consumer storage can’t be trusted or relied on in general. Robust back-up solutions of anything I’m worried about losing, preferably to a cloud service (or 2)…

Years ago I had a glass light cover shatter in the hall between my bed and toilet. Thought I got it all swept up. Two weeks later, a 2am half asleep piss trip ended in 10 minutes of digging a glass shard out of my foot and stopping the bleeding. I now wear something with a sole very nearly at all times.

Everyone allowed to vote is who they “polled”… We’re talking about the 2022 Texas gubernatorial election…

You can’t say that the majority of people in Texas don’t like the leadership but there’s nothing you can do about it when Abbott got nearly 20% more votes…

This is comedy gold.

So it is the literal child’s fault for accidentally joining a “lewd” vr chat room…? The girl was under 16 in the article. If the VR chat service is setup so that literal children can get into sexually aggressive chat rooms completely unaware and by accident, I do believe there are a few laws being broken there.

You’re not wrong, but the whole point of the article was basically “this is fucked up and something should be done about it. Can we use current laws to address it or do we need new ones?”

Helping to prevent people being harassed online is a good thing and doesn’t take away from the need to prevent it offline nor does it somehow invalidate people that have been assaulted.

My original tongue in cheek comment was in response to the victim-blamey comments acting like “it’s online, so it doesn’t count”.

Over the phone?? Just change phone numbers or hang up your phone. You aren’t even in the same place.

It sounds like ya’ll are over cooking your eggs… At least for my taste.

You’re missing the point of this post… They specifically made a change to make it easier to open and put back together without damage, which is not the norm in most related industries these days. That’s a good thing that we have been conditioned not to expect because of companies like Apple that fully do not want you to open your device ever for any reason.

Your comment sounds like “well you can’t open an iPhone without damaging it, why should you be able to open a steam deck without damaging it”… Very much corporate overlord shill vibes.

Yup. A majority of the time people didn’t have any of that setup anyway. But also most of windows security is centered around external attacks over a network, not someone actually having your computer so there are lots of ways to just remove the password if you can plug in a flash drive or insert a CD.

If someone actually security conscious brought in a computer truly locked down, we would have had a tough time of it, but people that know how to do that aren’t bringing their computer to geek squad to be fixed, so it’s a catch 22.
