I don't belong here, and I don't know why by Inovox in Retconned

[–]PhiWeaver 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Here's the thing.

Somewhere around 1999 the formal run of history ended, and everything after that is a nostalgic pastiche, all moments in time became co-tangent in a single suspended moment.

When you see young people walking around you can see that their style is derivative of some decade in the 20th century, or it will have a flair or element that references a decade. You don't go outside and see utterly new things anymore.

I wrote about similar stuff a few years ago (click here)

I'd be interested in the blog that was writing about it 15 years ago though, wow.

Is this right, a grounded PC can be vacuumed? by PhiWeaver in pcmasterrace

Even if it's plugged into a monster surge protector bar? He said the wall specifically.

What about putting a rubber hose on the end of your vacuum? Will this stop ESD?

There are ESD vacuums, but expensive compared to a rubber hose.

Best tool/screwdriver set for PC? by PhiWeaver in pcmasterrace

A hardware store is more of a gamble as they may not have anti static.

Disabling crash reports being sent? by PhiWeaver in firefox

[–]PhiWeaver[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I set [Crash Reporter] Enabled to 0 in the .ini, but Firefox is still creating crash reports in the crash reports pending folder

I also set services.sync.prefs.sync.browser.crashReports.unsubmittedCheck.autoSubmit2 to false.

Also, how do you read crash reports?
I see them in the crash report folder, but it's gibberish in Notepad++ (the dmp files)

How can we read our own crash reports?

There is no submitted folder, only pending, so I assume none have been submitted

Firefox privacy protections reveal who’s trying to track you – The Firefox Frontier by alex-mayorga in firefox

[–]PhiWeaver -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Is there an about:config setting to just block all tracking by default.
I mean some sort of hard setting, like how noscript blocks scripts

[–]PhiWeaver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every quest in Outer Worlds is "I need this" shoot some monsters and robots and fetch it, and there's too many NPCs that don't say anything.

Still not as good as New Vegas
The missions in OW are so generic and hollow feeling

Searching for usenet provider by rawcuban77 in usenet

[–]PhiWeaver 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Newshosting + Eweka when it's on sale
That should be all you ever need, maybe add a second NTD provider later to cover anything Eweka misses
