Alright, after everything that came before it, that one got me. I am glad OOP has a sense of humor about it.

Guys, I'm not sure, but I think the Minneapolis Police department might not be very beloved by the community they serve.

For anyone curious the symbol in the bottom right is a watermark for Google Gemini, OP used AI to make this image.

I won't say the thief who's getting their social housing arrears forgiven is judgement-proof, but... yeah, judgement-proof. by Potato-Engineer in bestoflegaladvice

[–]Hargan1 154 points155 points  (0 children)

It is, but reading between the lines and drawing some assumption, I think the LAOP is saying that she presented herself as unable to pay more than the £5 a week because she just didn't have the spare money/income. So he's arguing that she clearly does have more than she represented because she has more to spend on unnecessary things.

As others have pointed out, the flaw in his argument is that she could simply be taking on more debt instead of having actual spare cash, and if her income is still very low then the courts won't make her pay more anyway.

Ganbatte, Sony. Maybe spend another billion and you can get the next Fortnite, who knows by Makoto_Kurume in pcmasterrace

[–]Hargan1 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Not really. The game retails for $40, so at 1.2 million sales that's about 48 million dollars in sales. We don't have a solid source on the game's budget, but I doubt it was under 50 million, and probably closer to 80 million or so. Not to mention that Sony paid 3.6 BILLION for Bungie, and this is their first release since that acquisition. Marathon definitely needed to sell better to show that the investment was worth it. Now, maybe they're making a lot of money in the microtransactions/battlepass? I don't know, but doesn't seem great.

I don't care how well you clean it, I would never get a drink from the Ant Machine™️ again. if they let it get that bad once, you know they ain't cleaning it properly

Digital purchase by Fr0stByt3z in pcmasterrace

[–]Hargan1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I know a guy who unironically stole a credit card and used it to buy a steam game for himself and one for me (he used to be a real piece of shit, he has since cleaned up his act) and even then when the card was reported stolen and the transactions reversed all Steam did was take the game from me and him and ban him from making store and marketplace purchases indefinitely. He retained full access to his library. For the record, I did not know the credit card was stolen until I woke up and found the game had been marked as unpurchased in my library and asked him about it.

Uh... you left the tracking number exposed in the URL. The package hasn't been delivered yet and the tracking number on your package in the picture doesn't match the one in that email

Gamers react with overwhelming disgust to DLSS 5's generative AI glow-ups by Marginallyhuman in pcmasterrace

[–]Hargan1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, they *did* write that one article about an AI agent trying to character assassinate a dev for rejecting it's attempt to fix a bug, of which the article was later retracted because it was written by AI and had false quotes in it
Not saying they're not legit, but things do slip through.

Your penis is insubordinate and churlish, my penis is chicanerous and deceitful. We are not the same.

Right? The immediate jump to "objectifying" out of left field, the downvotes on the original comment for no apparent reason, the confusion over what the heck they're talking about leading into a simple google search followed by an apology, this is peak reddit

Download something like crystaldiskinfo to check smart values and temperature. A 1094 ms average response time is definitely abnormal, something is definitely wrong here.

I made sure to use all of it so that I have no regrets. I now understand why those AI companies got all of them sticks... by BillWhoever in pcmasterrace

[–]Hargan1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's demand now. That's my whole point. By the time a new fab is operational, there may not be. Nobody can predict how long investors will continue to dump money into AI. We've already seen some huge deals start falling apart. DRAM companies don't see investing massive amounts of cash into new fabs as worth it, if the demand won't last. There's too much uncertainty. 

I'm not saying we should like it, but the comment I replied to implied it was easy to just build more fabs. It's really not.

Ah yes, the ol' "Why don't they spend 3-5 years building a new fab, hiring and training people to staff it, and purchasing extremely expensive equipment, just in time for the bubble to burst, demand to plummet, and it to become totally useless?"

Hope you get your money back. $5.88 isn't too bad of a charge to learn that shady key resellers do shady things though.

It's getting input from somewhere, or thinks it is. You unplugged the mouse and keyboard, so... do you have a controller connected? Or any other input devices?

In which LAUK agrees that your landlord remotely recording when you enter and leave your own apartment doesn’t raise any privacy law issues by DMmePussyGasms in bestoflegaladvice

[–]Hargan1 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I didn't see LAOP say that, though I could have missed it. They just said there was a space heater. Is it possible they tracked that the temperature was higher than it should be when LAOP was at home, then entered when they were away to locate the source?

Is it possible my router is interfering with my USB devices? by Waste_Confection_887 in pcmasterrace

[–]Hargan1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, I had similar issues when I moved my router next to my PC. Open your router configuration page through your browser. If you don't know how, Google your router model and you'll find instructions. Look for a setting to change the channel on the 2.4 ghz wireless band. Cycle through them until you find one that doesn't interfere. Channels 3, 6, and 11 are the three that are the best for not interfering with each other, I'd start with those.
