the A list attourneys used to work for him, but you see, he has a terrible habbit of refusing to pay people for their work (unless they are connected to the russian mob, at least, whom he always pays on time and in full), so most of the top tier lawfirms basically said fuck trump and stopped offering to represent him.

not out of some moral duty, but simply because his documented history of not paying.

The C and D lawyers, though, they are ambulance chasing scumbag scammers. Just being near him and getting on Camera is enough payment for them, so they go through the motions dutifully doing everything he wants… secure in the knowledge once he collapses, They’ll be able to use their association for the next 10+ years to fuck over the everyday idiots that come to them.

The stupid fucking agency (cause i’m not sayin the fuckin weeblord acronym) was never about reducing waste or increasing efficiency

the stupid fucking agency was, is, and always had been, one of the greatest, largest, most in-depth espionage attacks in American history.

They infiltrated government offices and agencies, got full carte blanche access to anything and everything they ever wanted… From top secret files, to the entire social security database, and god only knows what else in between, Copied it off to their personal laptops, and handed it off to whoever their backers/highest bidders were.

Yeah, I agree.

I detest Linus, but at least attack him for legitimate shit.

He was approaching linux as a basic idiot, like someone like me, and that is absolutely something a new average linux user would absolutely do.

iirc, that bug was known before hand, and no one bothered to fix it until famous man made video that got famous.

Eh, I dont want steam machine becoming a standardized PC.

having CPU and GPU baked into the board and unchangable will just increase e-waste cause it will age out much faster than a PC which you could, 3-4 years down the line, max out the CPU in, throw more ram into, or upgrade teh GPU, to keep it relevant for another 4+ years

It serves its niche purpose, but it should not become standard.

With all of that being said, it seems to me it’s very likely it will be around 800 but less than 1000

maybe more with the way ram prices are skyrocketing… because even though it comes out next year, they are probably being manufactured and stockpiled right now.

also a large part of our government depends on these bots for their power and influence.

Which is why no action will ever be taken against them.

yes, thats basically what i said.

It wasnt even 24 hours before the the colossal apopcalyptic blowback on this made them reverse their decision.

Now we just have to wonder why they want to make hate symbols okay in the military… I’m sure its totally not anything to do with trying to build a white nationalist military that will gleefull obey illegal orders and slaughter the “other” in the streets at piggy boys command.

Yep.

Just cause it doesnt affect you, doesnt mean it wont eventually have an effect on you.

Lots of people shrugging their shoulders and going “Why should I care about spying? I’ve got nothing to hide” are exactly why we are where we are right now.

Can achieve the same thing by just removing safety labels, lol.

No, with a VPN the only thing your ISP sees is you connecting to a VPN server IP.

But browser finger printing, on the other hand, can identify you to every website you visit, due to info your browser hands over to every website… Such as OS version, Resolution, installed Plugins, browser settings, geolocation info, etc…which is often unique enough to identify you out of the whole of the internet.

Ironically, locking your browser down with more security features/settings/plugins often makes you more identifiable. Cause capitalism is god damned sure they are gonna track you and monetize the hell out of your information, whether its via your name, your user name, or just your digital fingerprint.

Nostalgia is a hell of a drug.

You would not believe the amount of mods the GameGear has, my dude.

np, good luck with it, if you try to pick it up.

Its a great skillset to have, even at a basic beginner level… Once you get comfortable with a soldering iron, so many dead electronics suddenly can be repaired for cheap instead of replaced… You have no idea how many TVs I’ve saved just from the dump just with capacitor replacements alone.

I yearned for one of these TV tuners for years and never got one cause they were too expensive.

if the board is completely fucked, people have made reproduction boards to move the components to, too.

soldering isnt hard, it just takes common sense, a modicum of thought, and a little bit of patience and carefulness.

If you are on a extreme budget, try to find a used Weller soldering station at a pawn store/garage sale/thrift store/etc and just take some dead electronic device you have and practic desoldering and resoldering the components on it.

if you have a bit of money to spend, pick up a Hakko FX-888d station and beginners soldering project (You can get radios, various LED projects, and some lead solder etc etc, all for pretty cheap, and by the time you’ve done one you’ll be well on your way to basic soldering skills on most non-micro components.

the real reason it was such a bitch for power is that it had a compact flourescent tube for the backlight.

when you remove that and replace it with a LED backlight suddenly the battery life explodes.

rechargable AA’s before Eneloops were all absolute dogshit

Yeah, I know I’m not the target demographic.

That doesnt mean I dont think its an interesting piece of tech, and I would like one as a toy/curiousity… but i’d only get one if I can get it used/second hand and dirt cheap (and probably broken, so i can drive the price lower and fix it myself)

If that was the reason and logic then every store would do that.

They don’t.

Everyone on earth but this one stupid ass gas station just does the 1 dollar precharge.
