    that's the standard route everyone prefers, i am more into fixing something instead of dumping it. I still have some of my old CPUs with me and some were lost over time, and i guess every cpu will start working if i pair them with the corresponding mobo and ram without any issue.

    I hoard as well. I still have my PS3. I am waiting for the day when someone finds a way to use the BD-ROM drive on a PC.

    I may or may not have 4 PS3s.

    wait what? really? but it's really good to read them before you get in...

    Yah, but, this was back in the XP era, where almost all the T&Cs were pretty similar. So, he was doing repeats of the same T&C. Funny thing is, uncle was calling his lawyer friends everytime he hit a snag in the T&C. Unfortunately for him, his lawyer friends were as computer-illiterate as him.

    I remember some EULA once had small print near the bottom saying something like "if you've read this far e-mail ....... and I'll send you $1000" and apparently only 1 or 2 people ever contacted him out of 10s of thousands of people who agreed to the terms.

    Now, that's a good inspiration to actually go through the T&C. That would also actually work as a campaign promoting perusal of T&C.

    Hmm i believe BD-roms are usable with the proper reader(usually cost around 100-150 USD), they are costly but viable.

    No, they do come with the readers. It's just that the protocol isn't exactly SATA and the drivers aren't available, cause S-O-n-Y

    Good morning everyone

    Good morning dude.

    How are you doing?

    Good, dude. How about you? Hope everything's back to normal there.

    He's still in the hospital, but the situation is better than thursday, which is a good sign.

    What are the docs saying? If you don't mind sharing, here or over DM.

    Also, if you want to be serious here for a bit, I'll happily stop shitposting about rats for a bit...

    You are free to do anything here. I am no one to stop you. I am happy having a serious convo with anyone, for example, right now, having one with TrK. We have been doing that over 2 threads now.

    OK, well let me know if you want to stop (although I'm maybe about a page to half a page behind at the moment).

    I personally will not. Might wanna take the opinion of the others as well. Whether you decide to comply or not, is again, your prerogative. Don't wanna meddle in rat business :lol:

    Roger that!

    I am slowly loving AI content generation - video and images. Might be time to invest in a good home server for it. The Android box just isn't gonna cut it :lol:

    not even my rig, LLM consumes resources like crazy..... although i haven't tried any(yet) i believe it will completely mess up my thermal charts off the grid.

    It will. When I said, AI meant using APIs. Oh God no, I won't ever dare run them locally.

    I hope your "AI" isn't code for rats in a maze? You humans can be very cruel to a species with superior intellect, but just afflicted by overly small paws that make it difficult to fight back.

    But JUST YOU WAIT. If I find out you're holding rats captive, we will get revenge. Nibble your network cable or worse. And THEN you'll be sorry.

    No rats will be harmed in the making of my home server. Infact, I am ready for a compromise. I will make a rathouse just alongisde my server with unlimited cheese supply and Tom & Jerry 24/7 on a 5 inch screen such that they don't touch my server.

    I'm glad to hear that you plan to make a home for rats, but... Tom and Jerry? TOM? That well known serial killer? Forcing rats to watch that violence perpetrated against our mousey brethren is almost torture. Maybe you could consider screening Stuart Little or The Great Mouse Detective instead?

    Nah, we had a vote with the rats in my neghbourhood. They are T&J fans, they love how Jerry wins every time over Tom./

    Yeah, the stories resolve well, but you do have to take the "warning: contains mild peril" at the the start a LOT more seriously than "mild" would suggest.

    You get those warnings in the UK?

    Mild Peril is not something to be taken lightly. It's only one step away from Severe Peril and only a bit further still to Rat Tourture.

    Ah, For us, the shows began with no warnings.

    some apps but most of the times they are either companies and services i use and they like to keep updating the TnC every month or so... example paypal :neutral:

    I usually gloss it over if it too much to read, i guess i should start using siri or gemini to summarize them moving forward, it's always a dart in arrow if something goes wrong and TnC says otherwise...

    There is a legal defense if you never actually read the terms that you can't be bound by them. Sure it's possible to win both sides of that case though, so probably not worth trying out in court.

    I thought years ago there was a package you could run on Linux that let you copy data from the BD to another computer. I never used it though

    No, they do come with the readers. It's just that the protocol isn't exactly SATA and the drivers aren't available, cause S-O-n-Y

    interesting, can you send me a link to a similar product or such, might be interesting to read the driver part for myself.

    some apps but most of the times they are either companies and services i use and they like to keep updating the TnC every month or so... example paypal :neutral:

    Oh, I thought you were talking about software on Windows installation. And yes, reading payment aggregators and wallets' T&C is always a good idea.

    Don't trust any of them. That's a better idea.

    I am slowly loving AI content generation - video and images. Might be time to invest in a good home server for it. The Android box just isn't gonna cut it :lol:

    not even my rig, LLM consumes resources like crazy..... although i haven't tried any(yet) i believe it will completely mess up my thermal charts off the grid.

    It will. When I said, AI meant using APIs. Oh God no, I won't ever dare run them locally.

    I hope your "AI" isn't code for rats in a maze? You humans can be very cruel to a species with superior intellect, but just afflicted by overly small paws that make it difficult to fight back.

    But JUST YOU WAIT. If I find out you're holding rats captive, we will get revenge. Nibble your network cable or worse. And THEN you'll be sorry.

    No rats will be harmed in the making of my home server. Infact, I am ready for a compromise. I will make a rathouse just alongisde my server with unlimited cheese supply and Tom & Jerry 24/7 on a 5 inch screen such that they don't touch my server.

    I'm glad to hear that you plan to make a home for rats, but... Tom and Jerry? TOM? That well known serial killer? Forcing rats to watch that violence perpetrated against our mousey brethren is almost torture. Maybe you could consider screening Stuart Little or The Great Mouse Detective instead?

    Nah, we had a vote with the rats in my neghbourhood. They are T&J fans, they love how Jerry wins every time over Tom./

    Yeah, the stories resolve well, but you do have to take the "warning: contains mild peril" at the the start a LOT more seriously than "mild" would suggest.

    You get those warnings in the UK?

    Mild Peril is not something to be taken lightly. It's only one step away from Severe Peril and only a bit further still to Rat Tourture.

    Ah, For us, the shows began with no warnings.

    I hope all your young rats survived the mental trauma.

    Mental trauma? That was and is a stigma here and pretty much everywhere. Even if we have/had that, no way for us to know. Ignorance is bliss.

    @noob404 said: Time to employ this tactic. I have been spending too much time trying to find stuff and buying them at full price.

    that's the standard route everyone prefers, i am more into fixing something instead of dumping it. I still have some of my old CPUs with me and some were lost over time, and i guess every cpu will start working if i pair them with the corresponding mobo and ram without any issue.

    I hoard as well. I still have my PS3. I am waiting for the day when someone finds a way to use the BD-ROM drive on a PC.

    I may or may not have 4 PS3s.

    What are you, USAF?

    No, they had at least 5 PS3s.

    Ah, you stopped at 3 to not piss em off. Smart move.

    @noob404 said: My friend was once pissed off at his dad, made him read the T&C during installation, scared him of legal implications if he didn't. That's prolly the crueles prank played on parents, atleast in my friend's circle.

    wait what? really? but it's really good to read them before you get in...

    Yah, but, this was back in the XP era, where almost all the T&Cs were pretty similar. So, he was doing repeats of the same T&C. Funny thing is, uncle was calling his lawyer friends everytime he hit a snag in the T&C. Unfortunately for him, his lawyer friends were as computer-illiterate as him.

    I usually gloss it over if it too much to read, i guess i should start using siri or gemini to summarize them moving forward, it's always a dart in arrow if something goes wrong and TnC says otherwise...

    Do you use any applications that actually might have some erroneous T&C that's gonna bite in the back in the future? BTW, always wondered, how these T&Cs work on Linux package manager based installations. Are they implicitly agreed to according to the license of the app?

    There is a legal defense if you never actually read the terms that you can't be bound by them. Sure it's possible to win both sides of that case though, so probably not worth trying out in court.

    Yah, heard people say they could always claim in a court that it was never them that agreed to the T&C.

    Yeah, I guess that's possible too. A lot of shop bought PCs in the past had Windows installed beyond where you agreed to the T&Cs, so that would have been plausible.

    Hey dude, when joining us?

    I'll be right there on page 842.

    Think long-term. 1000.

    I'll have frozen to death long before then.
