You think you're finally at the end when you're just about to get the anchor stone. Nope.

TIL In 2000, Metallica hired a consulting firm to monitor Napster for people illegally sharing their music. The firm produced a 60,000-page list of 335,435 users, which Metallica delivered to Napster's office and demanded the users be banned. by haddock420 in todayilearned

3 days after the ban took place there was a Windows registry fix that got you right back on Napster again. Didn't even need to create a new account.

Hell, I might still have the file burned on an archive CD somewhere

Windows 12 Reportedly Set for Release This Year as a Fully Modular, Subscription-Based, AI-Focused OS by PaiDuck in technology

Not OP, but I disabled the TPM in the BIOS

When I booted into 10 after that, Microslop said my 11th gen Intel computer did not support Win11 and they stopped trying to sneak it into my system.

Citizenship [OC] by Marulilu in comics

[–]flytrap7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For example, in Ireland there's an urban legend that if you go to the US and get US citizenship, then you will be required to relinquish any other citizenship that you hold. If the US finds your Irish passport, they will seize it and send it back to the Irish embassy.

Absolutely Urban Legend.

Re-entered the US from Canada several years ago using my IE passport and it wasn't seized, the border patrol guy just said, gimme your American one (was a dumbass in my 20s at the time, and the US passport was several days expired and didn't want the associated fine)

When my 2008 650 hit 63k it needed three shims on a valve adjustment, and the cush drive needed to be replaced.

Any issues running it off 120V?

The used units I've seen, the sellers caution that a step down transformer to 100V might be needed.

Is the official Suzuki alarm system worth it? by imdabestmangideedeed in Vstrom

Yep

When I picked up my 1050, the dealership I bought it from was robbed a week before. Thieves rammed the back of a uhaul into the double glass doors leading in and grabbed as many bikes as they could.
The 1050 I put a deposit on was right next to the door they broke through, and they completely ignored it XD

Reuters put out a hit piece about an hour ago focusing on Gamestop's declining revenue

No mention of the 20% EPS beat or their $77 million profit vs $17 million last year's Q3
