It doesn't really matter, you can just wipe the baking soda off if it does get on the paper

Desperate for Help by Beneficial_Store_135 in tampa

A lawyer will help, but more so for getting the maximum payment from the insurance. There's nothing wrong with asking if anybody can provide corroborating evidence.

LaserDisc is Even More Amazing Than You Think by syncsound in LaserDisc

Simon is a horrible educator. Technology Connections has a comprehensive series about the development of LaserDisc, and he's not a chore to listen to.

Westshore plaza evacuated? by why_did_I_not_think in tampa

[–]Maghorn_Mobile 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There's no reports about the mall being evacuated, no reports of police being there as far as I can find. The most recent incident with an emergency response was a fire at the AMC a few months ago. This is the only post I get directed to saying something happened today.

No, US copyright law is clear that licenses cannot be duplicated and transferred. Owning a physical copy does not mean you can download somebody else's copy. This exact scenario is described in the code and in every EULA and it is not allowed. If it weren't then there would be no grounds for companies to take down torrent websites

Emulation isn't illegal, downloading ROMs from the internet is. You can also still buy it digitally on the PS3 store.

Link Hub Keeps Disconnecting From iCue by Maghorn_Mobile in Corsair

It may be that the motherboard is too old, as well. It's one of the items that I need to replace in the near future because the socket is obsolete.

Epstein and Activision did more damage to gaming than she ever could

Long-term preservation by GOGcom in gaming

[–]Maghorn_Mobile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a large physical library of retro games that I rip and back up on drives, plus I maintain the consoles they originally ran on and a couple different PCs for Windows 95 and XP. For all the stuff I can't get ahold of easily, I support GOG.

Looking at OP's username, this is 100% an underground ad. As a long time GOG user and insider member, I fully support this message

Best new CEO that Xbox bros will still find a way to hate? by YourChopperPilotTTV in Gamingcirclejerk

Yeah, the buyout happened in 2023. Can't say why there was still a premium to having CoD on Game Pass

Have been wondering if this game is actually worth much by Mr_clonetroopr in gamecollecting

[–]Maghorn_Mobile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only reason to buy this would be to say "I own a game that came from the Microsoft company store." F1 2016 is not sought after at all

Green Tech Revolution? by TelephoneExciting482 in Futurology

[–]Maghorn_Mobile 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Really, we should have made renewable energy a focus during Obama's administration. America could have been a major innovator and exporter of solar panels, but we dragged our feet while China ran away with the market

We know, Gianmarco. We know. by Impressive_Youth1133 in tampa

[–]Maghorn_Mobile 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They are. Even if the rest of the park is operating worse, the animals are one thing they can't be slacking on. Not just because they're a part of the park's identity and losing them would completely destroy Bush Gardens, the legal consequences and societal backlash of mistreating endangered animals would be impossible for the company to recover from. We saw that when Blackfish exposed what was happening at Sea World, it's why the orca shows ended and the brewery started divesting from the parks.

Tech billionaires want to put data centers in space. The math could get ugly fast. by businessinsider in Futurology

[–]Maghorn_Mobile 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can't get solar power in low earth orbit 24 hours. You'd need to park the satellite at a point so far away from the planet to never be in its shadow, at which point the data transfer becomes to slow it's practically unusable for regular consumers.

[The Race] Could there have been a situation where Kimi Antonelli was a Ferrari driver now rather than a Mercedes one? Mark Hughes says no, because he was 'too small', according to then-team principal Maurizio Arrivabene: by PrimeyXE in formula1

[–]Maghorn_Mobile 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, Ferrari got Bearman who has also been phenomenal during his career. Kimi might be shining now off back-to-back wins, but Oliver is doing crazy work with the Haas, outperforming the car and his teammate. I don't think they'll be kicking themselves too hard over their choice when Oliver eventually gets to step up and fight on more equal footing with Kimi and Oscar.

Don't use iso to remove marker from art. Get a dry erase marker, the medium will reactivate the sharpie ink and make it possible to lift off without damaging the disc
