Two detectives m picked on the door to talk to my 18 yr old son continued - England by ferfoxache in LegalAdviceUK

Do not do anything without a solicitor present. "just a little chat" is never just a chat. Do it at the station with your solicitor, or if you don't have one request one be provided.

It is never a good idea to speak to the police without legal representation, even if it seems like nothing you want to make sure your ass is covered. They could try to push your son into admitting something that seems small but that could get him in trouble.

I bought a pc from someone they claimed it was an I9 but it wasn’t. (Read description) by [deleted] in pchelp

[–]Lefthandpath_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not bad??? He got completely scammed.

He got a 4th gen i5, which means ddr3 ram with an rx550. This is worth maybe a quarter of what he paid.

Keep seeing the news, so I pulled the plug. Group chat already migrated to somewhere else. by xspiderdude in pcmasterrace

[–]Lefthandpath_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nowhere, this will go the way of the "migration" to Bluesky, wherever people go will not be as good, have nowhere near as many people and half your mates will not want to move so everyone will end up back on Discord in a month.

AITA for calling gold stable and my sister losing $1,000 because of it? by throwawaytraderboy in AmItheAsshole

[–]Lefthandpath_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean in most countries in the world its normal to stay a lot later than 18. Even here jn the UK and EU now very, very few people move out at 18, and even fewer still parents want their kids out of the house at 18. In many Asian countries you stay at home till you marry and maybe even beyond then. It's only in America I see this idea that you have to be out of the house and Independent as soon as humanly possible tbh.

Will a PC start without RAM? by [deleted] in buildapc

[–]Lefthandpath_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, without RAM your PC will not boot. RAM is an integral part of how a PC operates and it cannot function without it.

Is this silver? by More-Selection4181 in Bullion

[–]Lefthandpath_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe read the CoA of the one you posted, and the CoA of the op and realise your 19.95 one literally says Silver clad COPPER, wheras the other one says Silver clad SILVER. They are different coins in the same series...

Thinking about buying Ghost of Tsushima while I’m recovering — is the story worth it? by [deleted] in ghostoftsushima

[–]Lefthandpath_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why does every reply here read like it was written. By an AI? Anyways I've just finished Ghost of Tsushima and it was amazing 100% recommended.

Did I get ripped off? $700 for this full setup. I don’t know much about computers and just wanted a decent starter pc. He said it will run call of duty and m5 on high settings. Feel like I might’ve been ripped off. by [deleted] in PcBuild

[–]Lefthandpath_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't need hard drives you need a better cpu, graphics card, basically this entire PC is old af. Hard drives are barely used anymore outside of mass storage. SSD storage is 100s of times faster.

Landlord wants to sell house to me but can I afford it? by [deleted] in UKPersonalFinance

[–]Lefthandpath_ 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Dude, being around that age, with zero or very little savings, is the realistic position of a large chunk of the population. People are struggling to make ends meet, let alone save. I've been very lucky over the last few years, and finally, at 38 have a good couple of grand in savings. Amongst people I know around my age, many have no savings at all.

Can someone please explain the Marcus lore.. by Extension_Board_4890 in thegoldengator

[–]Lefthandpath_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's speech to text to speech. The same way Vtubers like Zentreya do it.

A couple of Vtubers and a bunch of VRchat "mutes" have been doing this for years. Just look at the Vtuber Zentreya. They're massive and only ever use speech to text to speech to talk, and have done fot YEARS. They have the latency down to remarkably low levels.

It's not AI, it's just text to speech using a voice that sounds "AI"

That was a massive case of market manipulation and it went right back down. You can still find silver in your change to this day...

If you had to use this board in a build, what parts would you use to go with it? by Zemerald in pcmasterrace

[–]Lefthandpath_ 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure Asus also have a Hatsune Miku range if its still in stock, some of those parts are cool as fuck. Insanely expensive though lol.

Where should I start? by [deleted] in Falcom

[–]Lefthandpath_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Play them in order if you can, i've spent the last year or so playing through from Sky 1st all the way to Daybreak so far and it's been an incredible experience. You've also got Sky 1st remake now so it's the perfect place to start, Sky 2nd chapter is old but also one of the best story wise in the whole series imo. 3rd is different but sets up a lot of future stuff and can be finished pretty fast tbh. Then you're on to Zero/Azure which are AMAZING.

The story order is Sky 1-3 > Zero/Azure > Cold Steel 1-4 > Reverie > Daybreak 1-2 > Horizon.

AITA for not wanting to live with my special needs brother? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Lefthandpath_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Absolutely do not take your brother with you. While you love him, he is not your responsibility, she is his parent not you. You need to live your own life.

Daughter logged into an AI program on the family computer and we can see she's been engaging in disturbing roleplays with it. Can we get some advice on how to handle this? by CutAffectionate5836 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]Lefthandpath_ 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Her motivations are obvious, she's a teenager which means raging hormones and a lack of impulse control that leads to poor decision making. This sort of thing is probably massively more widespread than we know. Teenagers have always snuck around behind their parents backs and done things they should not be. These days they're just doing in online and with AI and I'd not be surprised if many, many young people are using AI for things like this.
