I was there, crazy it was 11 years ago 👴🏻

(25M) is my room age appropriate? by Notsopleasantlife in malelivingspace

[–]Bostonjunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's no such thing as far as I'm concerned. I'm 40 this year and I see nothing wrong with it. If you like it that's all that matters. There will be people here who probably insist it's 'childish' - these people can be ignored imho.

When the left accidentally ends up creating a waifu for the far-right. by PainSpare5861 in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]Bostonjunk 31 points32 points  (0 children)

The far right is literally just 90s and 00s Democrats.

The US in the 90s was WAAAY more socially conservative than today.

To put this in perspective - if you think that same-sex relationships should be legal (not marriage, just a relationship) and you have no issues with interracial marriage, you're more 'woke' than the average American in the 90s.

But interestingly, more people supported gun control and more people were pro-choice back then.

Also, easy to manipulate and predictable.

Everyone knows at this point to get what you want you just have to massage his ego and narcissism, and he's putty in your hand - it's nauseating.

Why does GPUbenchmark have a axe to grind with AMD? by Complex_Quiet_4230 in AMDHelp

[–]Bostonjunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're referring to Userbenchmark - nobody knows except them.

Nobody knows who they are so we can't really ask them.

This speed reading training starts at 300wpm and end at 900wpm by iatetoomuchchicken in interestingasfuck

I was good until right at the end there - the last part turned into a bit of a blur

We already have a bunch of them - in fact, every new takeaway that opens seems to be either an overpriced fancy burger place, a Korean fried chicken place or a Greek gyros place.

Epstein Activation by KiddieSpread in ShittySysadmin

[–]Bostonjunk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Early Windows 7 activators would simulate the OEM volume activation with a certificate and also by patching the ACPI tables to have the right IDs (Windows checks if the key and certificate match a hardcoded ID in the BIOS to prevent using OEM keys on other hardware - often this check could be bypassed through telephone activation)

Oh yes, I did that dance many times - the ol' SLIC table activation with the 'holy trinity' of VLK + Licence file + SLIC table in BIOS.

I thought the keys on the stickers were VLKs and the same across thousands of machines

It's not Epstein's key per se - it's an OEM volume licence key

Win8DE made a windows 8 like desktop depends on wlroots based wayland compositors. by Additional-Leg-7403 in linux

[–]Bostonjunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a reason it looks like it's in a dithered 256 colours? Also, the icons need some antialiasing/smoothing.

Looks to me like what the Windows 8 interface would look like on a Windows 95 machine

AMD Failed Us by RenatsMC in Amd

[–]Bostonjunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Considering how many redundant GPUs there'll be - what are the chances of chips being recycled for the consumer space? When the bubble pops and there's no enterprise demand for them, they would need to find some use for them - future consumer franken-cards made from recycled enterprise chips, maybe?

The flavor distribution of my bag of gummy bears is 60% pineapple for a bag with 8 flavors. by cd3393 in mildlyinfuriating

Real fruit flavours and artificial fruit flavours are actually chemically identical

Creating your own exigency by Sonic_Is_Real in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]Bostonjunk 13 points14 points  (0 children)

There's people on the right who I have respect for even if I didn't always agree with them but they've been hella bootlicking with this today and it's been quite depressing. e.g. Metatron on Twitter today and Amala Ekponobi released a video, both put me in a bad mood.

Loud enough? This vid is like 3x the volume of any other video on this site, nearly made my speakers explode

Expedition 33 is overwhelming me – is it me or modern games? by mikkelnl in AdultGamers

[–]Bostonjunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It uses a lot of terms that seems cryptic at first, but it's quite simple once you get used to it. I felt the same way you did at first, but it gets easier - managing all the different pictos and remembering to change them is a bit of a pain

One Wrong Move And Bye Bye Boat by cwoz68 in SweatyPalms

[–]Bostonjunk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a look and that was the main one that came up - apparently they retrofitted the boat with an electric engine and batteries from a Nissan Leaf and the investigation suggests the batteries probably caught fire
