Time to start being extra careful before tea time, Armenia.
Can confirm, I have 2 separate family members spewing this idiocy during visits. First it was that hurricane that shit on Georgia, Tennessee, etc. so “They” could shutdown a lithium mine or something (the people in the area want the mine, so that doesn’t even make sense). It also lead to them to falling for all weather modification conspiracies on Facebook and YouTube. So now it’s the floods out west… because “The Dems” want to make Texas look bad or something? I don’t even know anymore.
Also, dry ice. They seem to think dry ice allows you to steer storms and will show me very obvious fake videos where people are dumping it into the water themselves, then recording and pretending they caught The Man doing it. All of the ice blocks are still square btw, like it was just dumped into the water. They still fall for it.
Sounds like it’s time to bring back the tradition of tying dipshits to trees for 3-4 days. They’ll get the message.
I’m aware of the Penrose diagram and also watch PBS SpaceTime :)
But I was referring more to the frame of reference of our universe vs that of being inside a blackhole (assuming you could magically avoid being ripped apart by gravity). To an observer inside a blackhole, “time” on the outside would blink by almost instantly. I wasn’t talking about moving through an infinite universe or near/into a black hole. Just stationary, floating just beyond the event horizon, looking out. Hence the asterisk on basically*.
I was leading them to what MotoAsh posted. But they beat me to it while I was typing.
Edit: He even references what I’m talking about at 0:44 in the SpaceTime video. But from the frame of reference of an outside observer.
Yes, but if you’re beyond the event horizon of a black hole time becomes basically* irrelevant. You could literally turn around, look back out towards the rest of he universe, and watch all of time play out in the blink of an eye.
You know that scene in Interstellar where they land on the planet for 5 minutes, but 20 years passes for everyone else due to the planet’s mass? It’s the same thing, but a billion-billion-billion times more severe.
COD4 and CS:S private servers… oh how I miss you both </3
At this point, I’m just hoping that Elon is one of these techbros we keep reading about that are losing their shit from too much AI interaction. A sedated Elon in a padded room sounds like a good future.
It’s encryption has been broken for some time now, which leaves it vulnerable to some pretty serious security issues. On top of the obvious issue of people with the right know-how just listening to your calls and reading your texts, which you probably don’t want.
(It’s also how most cops/feds tap phones these days.)
Zoomed to the max Firefox will allow (500%). Not seeing anything other than some film grain with JPEG compression artifacts.
AI content usually starts to look more mosaic (random shapes clumped together) as you zoom, not grainy/compressed.
Seeing as TSMC is currently scaling up fab production in the US with their new fabs means they’re feeling that pressure and made the deal with the promise of US protecting them.
Context for anyone wondering: These new fabs will NOT being using their latest 2nm processes, but their 4nm FinFET process. Meaning we’ll still be reliant on Taiwan itself for their latest and greatest.
Oh, in that case, I assume they have you running Pro or Enterprise? If so, ignore what I said about disabling the Remote Desktop and Work Folder stuff. Work Folders especially though, they’re a complete pain (or were) and used pretty frequently. So you’ll probably be working with them a bit.
Anyone else wanna move to the hills and watch this dumpster fire of a country from a distance? I’ll bring the marshmallows…

Bonus: If you use the new TSForge method, it’s a permanent hardware registration. Meaning you’ll never have to activate Windows again, just connect to the internet and it’ll do it’s thing when it calls home.
It also has ESU support for Windows 10, so you can register for the extended security updates after it reaches EOL completely free.
Just a tip: If you installed Pro or better you can use Group Policies (gpedit.msc) to strip the OS bloat down slightly more than the Home versions. Education and Enterprise also have the telemetry spyware completely removed. But they have a few extra things you’ll probably never use and you’ll want to disable (like their terrible Remote Desktop stuff, Work Folders, etc.)
(I dual boot for gaming. So I know the pain.)
Yeah, the whole connection to the Base bit feels off to me. Like it’s propaganda/recruiting material for actual Base members rather than proof of involvement.
It could be worse. He could have DESTROYED them. So they should count their blessings.
Hopefully this will work with Google TV too since it’s essentially just an Android TV rebrand for Chromecast. Some of them have decent hardware though, but are held back by the all of the Google bloat. Even using apps that allow adb on Google TVs you can’t fully remove it all without soft-bricking the TV.
I’ve tried setting Kodi up on a few TVs that I’ve fixed, then put them on a VLAN so they couldn’t go online, but could still access my NAS. And even with some having hardware support for AV1, anything over 4-5Mbps or so would cause them to drop frames and lag out. The HEVC support was a little better and will usually do 10-20Mbps+ before running into issues, which is plenty for most YarTube content. So I did a little more digging and noticed that the CPU was sitting at a constant 30%+ usage just doing background bloatware bullshit. So if we had a better UI option, it would open up a lot of cheaper $200-300 4K Google TVs that can stream from a NAS or Jellyfin/Plex server without needing to transcode. Since they have hardware support for basically everything.
I’ve actually seen medical offices setup similarly. Some random computer in a back office with all of their patient data on it, completely exposed to the internet, protected by nothing but a few Windows Firewall rules limiting the connections to a few IP blocks. Just so they can share information office-to-office for say… a root canal and dental crown to be done on the same day, but at 2 separate locations due to limited space.
I’d run out of fingers if I were to count the number of times I’ve seen similar setups, 3-4 toes would be needed at least.
This whole thing is a shit show. From the cops lying on the report about him reaching for a knife, which the cellphone video shows clearly didn’t happen, to the State Attorney writing it off and the Sheriff going full DARVO during the press conference.
