- Comment on We all took foreign languages in school and none of us can actually speak those languages 1 week ago:
Or Swiss, it sounds very familiar. My French sucks. I did get DELF B2 level at the time, but damn do I struggle when I need to work in Lausanne with locals.
- Comment on Would you pick her up? 1 week ago:
Especially in zombie survival movies. Except in Zombieland, there it’s just the sister I think.
- Comment on PS5 ROM Keys Leaked: Sony’s Unpatchable Security Nightmare (2026) | The CyberSec Guru 2 weeks ago:
That was a rhetorical question after I pointed out the inconsistency: The author claimed they keys were for verification and then also said they were used to decrypt.
That’s most likely bullshit, and if it isn’t they should explain the unusual setup in detail instead of glossing over it.
- Comment on PS5 ROM Keys Leaked: Sony’s Unpatchable Security Nightmare (2026) | The CyberSec Guru 2 weeks ago:
Yeah agreed especially further down when it’s just randomly rehashing old history. It’s also mixing up decryption and verification even in the beginning of the article. First they write:
BootROM (Level 0): The CPU runs code burned into it at the factory. This code is immutable (cannot be changed). It uses the ROM Keys to verify the signature of the next loader.
Then just two paragraphs below:
The ROM Keys change everything. With these keys, hackers can decrypt the Level 1 Bootloader.
So which is it? Usually boot chains hash the next stage and compare it with a signed “known-good” hash they have stored, no encryption. Maybe this is different for the PS5 but then that would be noteworthy, not something you just assume readers to know.
- Comment on The Best-Selling Video Games Since 2020 2 weeks ago:
Since the graphic is counting sales in units sold I guess free to download “live services” wouldn’t really appear.
Would be interesting to see the same counting revenues.
- Comment on Sometimes devs intentionally punish players for struggling with the game 4 weeks ago:
Yeah they are fun!
Also pretty easy I’d say.
- Comment on Apparently your hobbies becomes less interesting if you're forced to do them all the time? Who knew? 4 weeks ago:
For me studying for my master’s was the more fun part than studying for my bachelor’s. The bachelor’s studies included a lot of obligatory subjects that were less interesting to me, or choices that didn’t include any fun options.
In the master’s studies we were free to specialize much more. There was lots of work, but it was interesting. Like building a small OS. Or reading the newest networking papers and discussing their merit. Or implementing congestion control for ourselves, and playing around with ideas on how to maximise its efficiency.
Now I’m a network engineer at an ISP and things are much more practice focused and I had to learn a ton that wasn’t taught at uni, or was taught to electrical engineers instead of me, to get into things, but it’s still fun and interesting.
I don’t know what the difference is, or how to get my outcome instead of the 4channers, but I just wanted to share an opposite anecdote.

- Comment on You wish you WERE never born, actually. Subjunctive mood. 5 weeks ago:
If you’re familiar with the pragmatic application of the subjunctive in your own language or others, that may help
When I tried using my dative and accusative case knowledge from German with the objective case “whom” it made me sound weird to the native English speakers I know (American, Australian, Northern English), who mostly stopped using “whom”. So in general I’d advise caution with this approach.
- Comment on She strongly disagrees 2 months ago:
Some additional historical context, at the time where Timothy was going to minister, many pagan priestesses held gatherings where they would shout and show skin and attracted participants with sex and a show
That is hard to believe and sound more like a post hoc rationalisation. Did you get this context from a good source, or was it a partial one, like a christian minister?

Oh wow that Newegg Canada in Green is crazy. And for a pretty large discount too.
I had not encountered this on any price graphs before, very interesting. Thank you.

Hmm “next summer” “spend two years on and underground” doesn’t quite fit together.
- Comment on Anon doesn't understand streamer fans 3 months ago:
To me it’s just entertainment, not a relationship. But I’m starting to wonder if I’m the weird one. I often just watch the archives too, not even live.
I find some of them consistently amusing so I keep watching. At some point I think that it’s only fair to contribute monetarily to help incentivize them to keep producing the entertainment I like.

Anon can’t fathom being interested in people if the reason is not sexual.

- Comment on Why Shouldn't I Use A Small Gaming PC 4 months ago:
Are there any advantages that are worth it for that budget range?
The only one I know of so far was short DDR traces and a reduction to two slots for extreme memory overclocking.
- Comment on Why Shouldn't I Use A Small Gaming PC 4 months ago:
It seems to me that mini ITX is small enough to cost a little bit more. The cheapest seem to be micro ATX boards.
Sorry for the unfamiliar platform, but here’s a comparison I recently made for a friend looking to build a computer around the AM5 socket.
mini ITX: www.toppreise.ch/produktsuche/…/Mainboards-c140?s…
micro ATX: www.toppreise.ch/produktsuche/…/Mainboards-c140?s…
1 CHF = 1.25 USD, but of course prices are different across the continents, so a direct comparison would be difficult. I just hope the fundamental price difference between sizes holds globally.
- Comment on Why Shouldn't I Use A Small Gaming PC 4 months ago:
I think the big negative is that you can’t keep anything, even when just one aspect if the micro PC really needs an upgrade.
If I were you I’d try to build a cheap computer around the AM5 sicket, using the PSU and Case you already have. Then you have a way forward open.

These dipshits were beating and kicking on the door
Where did you read that? All I’ve read so far was that they knocked and ran.
- Comment on My favorite board game! 4 months ago:
Well seems to me you do complete the circuit. With some 1000 Ohm resistance of your body, plus shoes depending on whether you’re wearing them and how you’re posed, plus whatever your floor provides to ground. Tile sounds ideal, but I’m not so sure about wood.
I guess floor heating would not be using metal piping, so at least that’s no shortcut. Maybe rebar could be trouble, but probably the wooden flooring shouldn’t be resting directly on the rebar.
I guess in most normal situations that would be enough resistance. I concede that point.
- Comment on My favorite board game! 4 months ago:
If the live side makes contact first you have an issue though. Because then the path to ground passes through the fork, up the handle and through you. Then your muscles tense and you might not make the neutral side connect the other end fork anymore.

Hopefully it’s “negative”
- Comment on The recent Steam censorship debacle actually sort of opened me up to adult games. 4 months ago:
Subverse is really funny in its writing and the renders are high quality as expected of StudioFOW.
The “connect”-style game loop on dates of HuniePop is actually pretty fun to play.

I’m surprised that the Frozen sisters are 21 and 24. I thought they were closer in age, and younger.
