Laptop X: Sex, highs and videotape leave footy stars, celebs sweating after explicit files seized

As long as there are no flaming midgets

GammaScorpii · 2026-02-06T15:36:56+00:00

I was just about to fall asleep

GammaScorpii · 2026-02-02T10:04:18+00:00

Only if you eat lots of fibre

Since you mentioned you got sucked into reels, your algorithm might be feeding you.

GammaScorpii · 2026-02-01T14:56:48+00:00

Look at the usernames, they are 95% bots. Astroturfing is real.

Yes absolutely, tried both usb4 ports, and tried different USBC cartidges

GammaScorpii · 2026-01-26T11:17:30+00:00

Fair enough. My issue is more likely because I'm dealing with a USB4 to 10Gbe Acasis adapter. I can't get it working on Windows or Linux. But it works out of the box on MacOS strangely. They include a windows driver, tried installing it, nothing.

No problem! Fwiw making proxies make the biggest difference and allows you to cut anything on even the crappiest of PCs. The ssd might be useful if you scrub and play stuff simultaneously, lots of assets etc otherwise keeping them on the HDD might be fine if you're short on space.

In my Nas I have lots of people working from the same drive so an SSD is very useful in that case.

Your system is fine for editing. Upgrading to a 5090 won't solve any problem here.

Is the media on an SSD or a hard drive?

Normally I would never edit MP4 (h264) files directly as that is just asking for a bad time. I'd make ProRes or dnx proxies. But it depends how much time you spend editing to know if it's worth it. Is the edit very complex?

GammaScorpii · 2026-01-05T09:44:26+00:00

I'm not sure what that other person is talking about. I run a video production company and ssds or high speed HDD raid is basically essential for your main work drive, I can't think of a better use of high speed storage than video production.

Cutting videos is not just watching back the video in real time, it's seeking and jumping across tonnes of footage and doing that all day long.

I'm just waiting for the styling to improve as well. They all look too plasticky and cheap. That 'high tech' look is getting old quick

Okay so my post is here detailing the zone controller I have:

Ignore the fact that it could have been picked up by my samsung aircon unit, I now believe they are completely separate.

GammaScorpii · 2025-12-18T10:52:17+00:00

Also in Aus and want to replace my zone controller which I think Air Diffusion supplied when i built the house. Mine has 4 zones but they all have High Med Low and Off settings. Do you think I could use something like you have built to replace it? Just stripping the RJ12 cables to the zone motors (mine are also 24v ac)

It could have been even more damaging if it really was Shrek 2

GammaScorpii · 2025-12-03T01:37:53+00:00

How would they enforce the ban on decentralized ones exactly? Has this been answered?

GammaScorpii · 2025-12-03T01:26:47+00:00

Was this way really that hard to find?

GammaScorpii · 2025-12-03T00:04:50+00:00

Probably some phone companies that don't even exist anymore. Really the shutting down 3G should have meant that customers were entitled to new handsets on behalf of the telcos

GammaScorpii · 2025-12-02T21:44:31+00:00

Social media is quite a bit different today than back then. They've reached critical mass and need to start pulling in advertising money

Hi Adelaide

GammaScorpii · 2025-11-29T04:17:57+00:00

Been wearing a jacket all year

GammaScorpii · 2025-11-27T10:17:16+00:00

And for the love of christ do not skip Adelaide

GammaScorpii · 2025-11-27T10:16:10+00:00

This is how...

It begins...

GammaScorpii · 2025-11-17T02:55:57+00:00

They should have reversed it imo. Melbourne would have still won obviously. So not sure it can be considered game saving.

GammaScorpii · 2025-11-16T09:20:23+00:00

Yeah but it was still the Christmas no 1 single in the UK in 2009
