- Comment on You Pay For It, We Own It - Sony's $7.9B Lawsuit 1 day ago:
I’m not saying you you should or shouldn’t, but if you did, I’ve heard it’s possible to access a backup of the original even if you don’t have an original disc.

Did his level best
- Comment on Vultr doesn't let you use Bitcoin until you've already set up payment using a credit card or PayPal 1 week ago:
Know your customer. Legal requirement on financial institutions to retain certain customer information and red flag suspicious behaviour.

If only she hadn’t bought that drum kit.
- Comment on There are Minimum Wages, Why Not a Maximum Wage? 2 weeks ago:
I don’t think you’re being insulted, just that the limit can be unobtainable by 99% of people and still be effective. Personally I think that’s a possible thing, but also a pointless thing, a wage cap is going to do nothing to redistribute Jeff Bezos’ wealth in a sensible manner.
- Comment on BBC tours hospital Israel says sits above Hezbollah gold 3 weeks ago:
I skim read the title and made assumptions. Substitute Palestinians for Hezbollah in my previous post, doesn’t really have any bearing on how difficult it is to spin it.
- Comment on BBC tours hospital Israel says sits above Hezbollah gold 3 weeks ago:
Seems pretty easy to spin “Depriving Palestinians of the funds required to wage war on Israel” or something variant thereof

Ah, just at the turn of the century.

Well that’s fairly interesting

As much as I’d advocate for a professional rectal woodwind orchestra, I can’t help but feel we wouldn’t have invented the instruments in the first place.

Yeah, largely depends on whether I’ve lost the clip in the 30s I had the bag open

You think investigative journalism isn’t worthy?

Oh thank god, I’d just assumed I was old now and this was a young person thing.

Solid explorer seems, pretty solid

I’d add SMB as well, I use KDE connect for 1-2 files, nextcloud for photo backup and SMB for bigger transfers.

Have you tried it? You get 0.555… which kinda proves the point does it not?

Tbh I’m just impressed you: A) knew there was an iso standard 2) went to the effort of locating it iii) posted it in respectful manner, and e) are correct.
- Comment on Asian BrewDog Worker Sacked After Raising Concerns About EDL Presence 4 months ago:
They gave the appearance to the outside for sure - BBC podcast is what put me off them. That and the Parma Violet beer they did in an advent calendar the other year, just because you can doesn’t mean you should lads.
- Comment on My laptop hinge just ripped its screws right out. 4 months ago:
Counterpoint, sometimes stuff is designed to break so something else more critical of expensive to replace does not.

I remember when RPS started, Kieron Gillen and the the PC Gamer gang. Fucking shite now.

No but you need to understand, not all men are bears or something
- Comment on Google Delists Sites Providing DIY Hormone Therapy at Behest of UK Government 6 months ago:
I’m curious about the blood tests, like how do you arrange them? I’m on some pills for something at the minute that require frequent blood tests to track and it’s onerous enough through the NHS, can only imagine the hassle of getting specific blood tests organised outside the system.
- Comment on Voyager 1 6 months ago:
Jeez, I’ve just looked at the list of utilities, I’m not surprised, it’s got FireWire drivers for dos included. You’ve got to be pretty deep into the weeds at the point you need FireWire support in DOS from a recovery disk!
- Comment on Voyager 1 6 months ago:
Whoa learned that one at the weekend. Added a new nvme drive, cloned the old drive. I wanted to expand my linux partition, but it was at the start of the drive. So shifted all the windows stuff to the end and grew the Linux partition.
Thought I’d boot into windows to make sure it was okay, just in case (even though I’ve apparently not booted it in 3 years). BSOD. 2-3hrs later it was working again, I’m still not sure what fixed it of I’m honest, I seemed to just rerun the same bootrec commands and repair startup multiple times, but it works now, so yay!
