I have my seed box limit upload bandwidth to quite a low value, not because I hate leechers, but because I have to spread out my available data cap to maximize availability over the long term. If I blow through my data in three days I’m not as much good to the network.

Seed. I’d rather have at least one whole copy in a swarm versus a bunch of really fast peers that don’t have the complete files.

I had to revert the firmware on a TV because it effectively bricked itself when the software was no longer supported. I don’t connect these things to the Internet. They will simply display what I tell them to.

Exactly. They own the US and are not subject to laws. Only you are.

So what, there’d be dozens at best, and the rest hired? Fuck billionaire thieves. They shouldn’t exist.

They’re quite fond of kids in general. A bit too fond.

Take a dump that’s three minutes longer and think of Sharon during.

“Wael is a US citizen, and he was asking for his dad to be next to him while he’s dying,” Arnaout said. “His country failed him.”

Indeed.

ICE officer: Feared for my life.

Oh sorry. I meant to say: was being a terrorist.

I have immunity. What are you gonna do?

Hi, I wanted to follow up and let readers know that I solved the problem. The root cause was the SSD firmware needed to be upgraded.

My dad’s not a phone!

What a great photo!

Doesn’t mean we don’t use it as our main database

Julius Caesar died over 50 years ago don’t you know.

This is the actual login screen. Not the bit locker recovery screen. Thus, the drive has already been unlocked.

It relates to how they use the TPM and Windows hello. It appears to be known issue, but without great solutions online.

The best part is after my fifth or sixth attempt, it said I had to wait two hours before I could try to log into the PC again. In Safe Mode.

You know, the mode where you might be trying to debug something. Thus, restarting the machine more often than you normally would.

I couldn’t use Safe Mode to diagnose my driver problem on Windows 11 because it said I couldn’t sign in due to security reasons.

I’m not paraphrasing. It just told me because reasons. Because obviously I’m too dumb to understand. Right there at the login screen, as if they never even tested this feature once.

Don’t think it’ll be Windows that I’m going to reinstall this time.
