In case you need a new computer and not make it insane price  (for anyone that is in that boat and don't have an idea and wants to pay a reasonable amount. 

Notice how they were able to get a decent result from their 1000 dollar gaming PCs? Their cards were 500 dollars or less. NO need for 3500 dollar cards

I remember back in the day when I knew very little about PC hardware. Seems like it was yesterday. I think you were one of the few who broke it down to me over on LL over a decade ago. lol Had I not learned, I wouldn't have ever built a PC 3 years ago.

I was always fascinated by the idea of building one, but it was always intimidating. That fear overwhelmed me for a very long time. Though, I have to admit that I sure picked the worse time to build one. But even now, GPU prices are just stupid high.

GPU pricing should be a quarter to at most half the cost of the computer. So if your motherboard, processor, ram, hard drive, case and power supply cost 2000 dollars the GPU should be 500 dollars but that isnt' what is happening now. There are 2500 dollar (and more) cost for CONSUMER GRAPHICS CARDS. Look I know professional graphic cards can easily go into the thousands of dollars. You need it for graphing and such for your job, that is one thing. NO consumer graphics card should cost that much. That is just INSANE. 

Yes I remember you asked me some questions on a build you were interested in as well as some tech solutions to problems you had. It was some time ago.

Did he say a death from 1991? Seriously? They are now trying to dig up shit from the past

We don't have that problem where I live. Not even in areas where the population is mostly minorities. I remember a white guy shooting a black kid who was stealing from a CVS, I think. As far as I know, no charges were filed against him. People talk about Texas, but we don't mess around here either.

As you could likely guess. This wasn't Texas.  Nope, it is one of thoe cities where those criminals have more rights than the law-abiding people do. Forget about some (non-police officer) shooting someone dangerous to protect people. Hell even cops that use rightful force are called out and often times punished. For doing their job.

I didn't even know who Sydney Sweeney was until the left started going bonkers.

Another example where the left fails. They start shouting to the highest rafters about something wrong and instead of gaining collective society outrage, they end up bring attention to something. Something that many people aren't even aware of and wouldn't likely become aware of. 

In this case they did it to two things. The actress and the jean company. They failed at both. They did the same with Hogwarts Legacy. The more they screamed about how horrible they were (the writer which had nothing to do with the game other than give permission to use her IP) and the game and the producer of the game. Instead it backfired and the game became one of the bestsellers that year. Same with Balder's Gate 3.  This was when cancel culture and the left was in POWER!  Even then they failed. Now they still think they can do it? CRAZY IMO. 

I just went ot Walgreens. I don't go there often, and even less just browse. 

While there, I saw dozens of lock boxed products. A dam Febrese air freshener that is less than 5 dollars was behind a lock box. Deodorant was also behind a lock box. WTF?  This Walgreens is in a low crime area. People leave their garage open with their bikes and expensive yard tools there. (they at least some of those that I know in the area have cameras in there ) I can't imagine how bad it is in a high crime area. 

Oh, and they were racially profiling HARD, I can tell you. Holy shit, they were in high mode. Lol, while completely ignoring "others" like me. If I saw me and what I was wearing and doing. I would have seriously watched me, but that wasn't the case here. At least for a bit until they see my actions and rule out any bad intentions. ( I often look like a bum as I am lazy and don't really care what I look like most of the time. lol ) 

Constant ringing of the intercom to send help to x place and y place in the store so customers could get what they want. Why don't they just have it in a secured, locked place and hand out flyer in the location to bring to the register and then pull the product for the customer? Maybe even convert from a store to a internet related store with few items present for the customer to gap (impulse items with high margins) and the rest ordered using QR codes or better yet their website / app? Then gather it up and bring it to the customer. 

Great YOutube is doing that bullshit again. I am logged in but it won't let me view it in the thread. I have to open it in another page to view it then it works. They stopped it a few weeks ago and it worked perfectly regardless (as soon as I logged in) now it doesn't. I haven't changed anything on my end.

I"d use and suggest the entire drive and set up an encrypted LVM system.  
Take encryption an any way you can get it  Where every you can get it. lol It doesn't hurt anything. I do the same using Mint. 

I might have figured out my issue with Debian (pure) with this video. Had permissions issues and had to jump through hoops I didn't want to do. An unnecessary security step that I didn't need, considering I am the only person that uses these computers.  Thought this was the case but I think this confirmed it. 

Might set up one of my spare computers using Deb 13 now. See it. lol It will take a bit before my Mint covers that. I am also using Truenas Scale now as well (based on Debian) but it will be even longer before that gets upgraded as well.

Xbox has a credit card now.

The great thing is the Woke crowd is actually helping the advertisement by being outraged.

Go to your YT Studio via your channel and clicking on manage videos and do this as well for you account just to be safe, whether you  upload videos, or you don't upload videos. My other account/channel didn't have it selected  like it does for this channel that I use to upload videos. I changed it from "I want to review this setting for every video." to "No, set this channel not made for kids. I almost upload content that's made for kids." Maybe it will help, maybe it won't. I think it will since it will consider your channel IS used to upload content not made for kids.

Thanks. 

I don't have videos on YouTube but I want to be sure that they don't lock me out in the future. I am not currently concerned with their $$$ but don't want to be restricted if I do ever decide to be uploading a video. 

I am not giving my ID over to some stupid fucking web site to upload and access adult / mature materials. Protection of children is awesome. I am all for it. However, by indicating that the channel and access is for adult. The materials accessed are geared to an adult should be enough. Especially when the account has been active for more than a decade with the same type of material accessed for it.

Does Age Verification Affect You? 

For UK and EU-based users: 
 

• In the future, we will be introducing age verification for the majority of adult content hosted on the site. The specifics of this are being carefully considered as we want to get this right so that the option to view adult content remains available to adults, whilst fulfilling our legal obligation to ensure children are safe on our website. 

For Everyone Else: 
 

• You will not be subject to age verification. The current approach to verifying you are above 18 years of age will remain the same unless we are legally required to change this to operate in your country. 

Love the meltdown

Hey sorry but does anyone know how to fix the issue with time freezing a ton during sex? Time just won't advance for minutes at a time. I'm also having problems with even when time is working properly, during sex everyone else just stands around doing nothing.

You might have missed some update. 

If you are sure you are fully updated I'd suggest you go to the Discord and post this question there for answers. It will be likely much faster than here. 

Can you imagine these being released today? The meltdown of the left? lol

I recently was able to watch #5 No nudity? The narrator didn't watch the video. There is nudity.
