I’ve always had good experiences pirating games, starting with no-cd cracks in the 90s. Showed me games did not have to be in the drive to work, so they lied off the bat. No thanks. I’ve paid for hundreds of games I’ve never played, I will not pay for Nintendo games or other scummy companies.

I’m in an HOA, I know their bullshit.
- Comment on Does it happen when the law arrest a drug kingpin or whatever and they off the cops something like 10mil a piece to let him/her go? Has anyone ever actually taken it? Or is movie trope? 1 day ago:
Without a warrant, sure. Sounded like he was just going through someone’s phone.

Weird they didn’t just rekey the cylinder instead of a whole new lock.

Do you know why he was going through a suspects texts? Seems like he was asking for trouble. I won’t even go through texts I have access to.

This is a very specialized job, your acg joe is not going to do it. Also, in the many years I’ve been in IT, I’ve never even seen a video of a platter reconstructed and get data off it.

Sure, but if we’re repurposing a decade old machine, I doubt a 1TB drive is required. Learn to live within 256 or 512, those are not super expensive. And don’t need nvme, sata is perfectly acceptable.

SSDs are cheap enough, no sense in using a 10 year old mechanical drive to save $30.

Bud, if put that platter back together after I snipped it, you deserve every bit of data you got off it, 1000%
- Comment on Discord will restrict your account next month unless you scan ID or face 1 day ago:
They’re recyclable snipped.

Mine, sure. I replaced 15 desktops that day, no fucking way.
Snip

Yeah lmao. Wipe one drive at a time with a USB connector. No thanks. I don’t have bulk drive operation equipment and then it ties up a computer doing the work.

They’re 500gb mechanical hard drives with financial data on them. Snip and done. No time wasted, not reusing them.

I won’t even give hard drives when recycling a computer, I pull and smash myself. Last set of old drives I cut in half with bolt cutters.

They say it for court
“I told him to stop running”
Or as defense, like
“Stop resisting!”
While they’re lying face down arms and legs out with a knee in their back/neck. So it sounds like the suspect is not doing what the cops is saying and can use excessive force or pain to subdue.

Bow down slightly, lift your hand slightly like a weak wave, show a little humility in your eyes if they meet.

Work teaches you to be in efficient as possible or you get more work piles on top. Or get in trouble.

Can’t make someone do something they don’t want to, even if it benefits them financially. I stopped trying.
- Comment on What's up with "Plex Servers"? 1 week ago:
I’m that guy as well, but can’t get family to use it. So when they complain they can’t steam something, I just ignore them. I do it for myself, they just get it because. But I’m not going to keep offering, fuck it. Go spend your money on shitty atreing services. I’ve got 7000 movies now and almost 300 series.
