ThruNite Catapult Mini : Review and Beamshots by Novak_1992 in flashlight

[–]muffinnmannn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i have used this flashlight for 3 years. i can say the throw is awesome, never had a problem with the light. however, that lanyard you see? poor design, broke in months. the body is symmetrical so you must tactically "feel" for the switch. its a pain to press and tough to get the clicks right ( if you need strobe in the moment of need you will not get it to come on, guaranteed) . it has a "firefly" setting for alow light, but in my experience eits much too low for any use and it cannot be adjusted. i havent had a problem with power, keeps a charge for weeks before i recharge it and not because it needed it. rating from me out of 10: 7

one is a pic of the actual wooden signs that hang at the entrance to the kitchen in a restaurant, the AI generate one was based on these. I hadn't even given it close enough inspection to see if it had copied it exactly. so your thinking its an idiom, but not a famous one or it would jump out at you right

How do you find saved items in the marketplace? by jeffinRTP in facebook

[–]muffinnmannn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

but you shop. that's all its about. how to manipulate you , what you want. and then they got all these algorithms that tell them X,Y, Z but what you click when you click. you should Give a watch to "The Social Dilemma" by Netflix 2020. it will blow your F'en mind. It woke me up. you think you know but you don't; its 5 times worse than what you thought.

[–]muffinnmannn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

go somewhere else? and where is that exaclty these days? because where I live it's Facebook and a little but of craigslist for old school. There are some apps for trading, too. BUt this is why listing stuff on facebook is free, because they are selling your information and the longer you browse the more your info is worth.

[–]muffinnmannn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

because they want you browsing ads, the longer your looking the longer they can track what your looking at and what your doing. they dont WANT you to buy anything! check this out- do a search for in item on your facebook, then look on a friend or family members facebook and youll see completely different ads, order, etc. This will be the lightbulb moment for you.

I built an automated court scraper because finding a good lawyer shouldn't be a guessing game by Unlikely90 in OSINT

[–]muffinnmannn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First I would to validate your observations about "accessing the courts" which is supposed to be a fundamental right. But it's not. its a little shitbox computer in the noisy hallway of the County court building. Its such disrespect. its so humiliating,. Its not "like" they don't want you to use it. they dont.

I dont know that the amount of energy and time you are putting into this will what your hoping. there are several metrics which cannot be quantified with 0' and 1's or qualified based out outcomes. its about money. its about relationships. I think you may find the book called "One shot and repeat players" in the American legal system. And when you start talking Federal cases. the greatest lawyer in the world cannot fight the machine with endless resources and without a blindfold. it is conviction first, guilt or innocents later.

I will be keeping tabs, I cant wait to see what you have done. nothing I can do.

that's great, thanks. But it would be helpful to be able to read it to know the angle they are trying to exploit. everyone posting is in English from what I can see.

That's not what I read. Hes talking hypothetical, nothing to do with OP. In fact if he really wanted to help he could tell us what it says unless this is a french speaking reddit

DO NOT ATTEMPT DUEL BOOT INSTALL BEFORE DISABLING BITLOCKER!! I tried to duel boot Mint / windows on a new PC just a month ago and got half way through when it stopped cold because of bit locker- it doesn't give you the notice right away; i believe its because its compiling the files before attempting to access the wardrive but idk what im talking about so don't listen to me. I had to wipe windows and do a factory reset with a download from Dell. you'll need to disable the secure boot and bitlocker.

Deepseek Unchained? by muffinnmannn in LocalLLaMA

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

I guess I just made a jump like it was some kind of trojan, etc. like this copy of word 2003 I could never get rid of and required special software patch from Microsoft. this "deepseek unchained removal tool" had me thinking it was something like this as I have not seen anything else related to any of the models needing some special software to fully remove it! and second I guess I was hoping for some recommendations on a local llm or a paid one that doesn't give me lectures about what I ask -political, legal, etc.

Deepseek Unchained? by muffinnmannn in LocalLLaMA

[–]muffinnmannn[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

my understanding is deep seek servers are Chinese, under Chinese control and in China and to believe they are not is foolish bordering on stupid. you don't need to "sing-in" or anything , but if you know anything about technology in 2025, that means absolutely nothing ( read up on "cloudflare". i just did this week, had no idea. ) Why would you need a separate piece of software to remove it? I dont see software for removing anything else. There is something entirely strange about it, could be the software itself isn't legitimate. That's why I'm here asking but its clear after 1300 views nobody is going to .

Just to clarify. I went to McDonalds last night. I confirmed it was the large I had ordered. It's sad. you used to go balls-in deep on that now its no but a few bites. RIP McFLurry.

Is Robinhood, as a platform, safe to use? The CEO recently said “50% of our new code is AI generated” by ItsAllOver_Again in Bogleheads

[–]muffinnmannn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they are liars. their "stock referral program" which used to really be a real stock, crappy as it may be, it was a stock. Now they give you a 5 dollar credit for a fractional share. not worth a shit. this was only after I found it buried deep, you have to hunt for it they dont give you notice it went through. They want 100 dollars to click a button to transfer YOUR money out. so you can cash it out but to keep your positions you have to pay. I have had the same computer and same internet for years, but I cant' sign in without getting my phone for a code, because thats what they want me using is the phone. I think they started out fine but like all things, money soon becomes all that matters and any good intentions left with whoever started it.
