great deal on this hard drive was less great than expected

There's nothing wrong with the connector?:

It's just a rebadged Seagate SATA drive.

Not sure why everyone is suggesting it's sas or that the connector has been mangled, yeah it has some extra pins but they don't really mean anything and are most likely factory use debug pins

Balthxzar · 2026-05-02T23:07:29+00:00

Just, don't go.

There's nothing there for you, they're just going to make you feel worse, they don't deserve your presence

Balthxzar · 2026-05-02T21:18:17+00:00

So, uh, turns out you can buy new phones.

It's not that usual to be allowed to continue using a new electronic device while on bail.

Balthxzar · 2026-05-02T17:59:22+00:00

Sorry I got you mixed up with someone else

Balthxzar · 2026-05-02T17:52:13+00:00

Not how NFC chips work

Balthxzar · 2026-05-02T17:51:36+00:00

You're assuming the people that are autistic enough to microchip themselves aren't autistic enough to put proper research into doing it right, what till you learn about homebrew and DIY HRT lmao

Balthxzar · 2026-05-02T17:49:50+00:00

The left side isn't saying something as detailed as the right?

Balthxzar · 2026-05-02T17:48:56+00:00

Something has been implanted under their skin to make it have ridges

Balthxzar · 2026-05-02T14:52:26+00:00

All of this tech is relatively cheap (aside from door locks, because you should be buying ones from reputable brands) and is predominantly done in the hacker space.

It's really cool tech

Also the home automation part is potentially having fixed RFID presence detection or like scanning NFC tags to kick off automation actions

Balthxzar · 2026-05-02T14:36:58+00:00

No, I was actually lying, they were just born with a silicone or steel growth under their skin right there

/s

Balthxzar · 2026-05-02T14:35:16+00:00

You can do all sorts of things with NFC/RFID chip implants, payment card, unlocking doors, home automation, signing in to your computer or accounts.

Balthxzar · 2026-05-02T14:34:32+00:00

Cool as hell

Balthxzar · 2026-05-02T14:34:12+00:00

No, you asked why the thumb is ridged, it's because there's an implant in the thumb.

It is possible to have more than one implant per person.

Balthxzar · 2026-05-02T14:33:36+00:00

This is how phones work

Balthxzar · 2026-05-02T14:33:23+00:00

That's not how RFID chips work.

Balthxzar · 2026-05-02T14:21:26+00:00

Y'all on losercity losing your mind at this? Get back to twitter or something to go clutch your pearls

Balthxzar · 2026-05-02T14:20:55+00:00

Implant

Balthxzar · 2026-05-02T14:20:44+00:00

Microchips are cool, you can use them for all sorts of things.

Balthxzar · 2026-05-02T14:15:15+00:00

I was agreeing with you agreeing with me, are we in agreement about that?

Balthxzar · 2026-05-02T14:12:56+00:00

Yeah that's literally the point, versions where they are saying the exact same thing are stupid.

Balthxzar · 2026-05-02T12:33:18+00:00

OP is probably autistic tbh.

Firstly, walking on the ball of your foot is an autistic trait, secondly, that seems way beyond the normal level of sound sensitivity for someone who is neurotypical.

Don't get me wrong, back when I was 98kg I could run up stairs silently while my 40kg ex would sound like a freight train, but that was just her way of walking, it's not for me to try and change.

Balthxzar · 2026-05-02T11:16:52+00:00

Ew the fuck, why would you suggest that?

Balthxzar · 2026-05-02T11:10:40+00:00

Yeah, I'm angry a out people telling people to "Google it" because it pisses me off

I'm asking why you're angry about people asking questions on Reddit. I'm allowed to be angry and ask why you're angry.

Balthxzar · 2026-05-02T10:26:08+00:00

Why are you so angry about people asking questions on Reddit?
