  1. The truth of the matter is exactly what I posted. We were getting hit by spam. They were being placed in old threads. These threads were finished. No activity or signs of interest. People moved on. It isn't a policy to lock threads that are old. There isn't a time limit as to when a thread would be locked like other sites. They are locked as needed and unlocked likewise. Like now, most are unlocked by @doublezero when he did an update and some maintenance and we been under control with regards to spambots A simple request to unlock something that a member is interested in is all it takes. The member can post a thread and suggest that it belongs with a locked thread if we are busy at the time and don't unlock it fast enough. We can then merge it to the older thread. Certain parties just want to cause trouble and argue. YES. Also note that the entire conversation on the forums is still present and available for those that come to read. Nothing is hidden. Nothing is censored. This isn't what is done at other sites. At least any that I have seen. That would have been seen as a disruption of the thread, and the post after the disruptive point would have been deleted/hidden. We keep as much as humanly possible present to the public so we can be as transparent as possible.
  2. Yes, I locked old inactive threads. Conversations were completed for that thread. This was months ago. This was done due to a large amount of spambots posting ... you guessed it … in old threads. This has been months ago, now you come and complain? Seriously? Why not comment, then? If there was any thread that was in need to be unlocked, anyone here would be happy to do so. Also, someone could post a new thread and it would just be merged. Not the trauma drama you are trying to make this out to be. "high-handed approach a la "Lover's Lab"? Seriously? Locking old threads is reaching Lovers's Lab level actions? Lovers Lab bans people because of "drama" that is defined by the moderators. They DELETE threads, HIDE threads and lock ACTIVE CONVERSATIONS. This hasn't happened here. Every thread humanly possible is present to view for all. No hidden editing of people post. No bullshit. Putting this site on the same level simply because of a few old locked threads that had their conversations completed is just the most wild stretch of the imagination possible. Wow… Thanks for the laugh. I really needed it.
  3. It would be more work for you and you would have to do more work but if you are looking for drivers and most current bleading edge etc. Linux Arch would be what I would say you should use. You can find a distro spin off that has a easier installer but If you are just installing over your old system it shouldn't be hard. Proton and the kernel is updated extremely fasssst ... often right as it gets released. Can sometimes mean you might need to roll back but by now if you have experience in Linux you should have a good backujp process and it should work well for you https://archlinux.org/ https://linuxblog.io/linux-rolling-release-distros/ I forgot it is rolling release which means it constantly updating itself. No need to do a major update!
  4. 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
  5. 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.
  6. Did he say a death from 1991? Seriously? They are now trying to dig up shit from the past
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. Yea, I would think it would have to be well-developed and received before all the hard work to make this framework for it. Tons of hard work and testing for such a complex and feature rich mod to be created for any game. Provided, the necessary tools are available for it as well.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. https://screenrant.com/sound-of-music-production-maria-von-trapp-casting-rachel-zegler-talks/ I can't make this shit up.
  14. WOW WTF? https://www.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-mastercard Xbox has a credit card now.
  15. And American Eagle is unapologetic The great thing is the Woke crowd is actually helping the advertisement by being outraged.
  16. 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.
  17. https://www.nexusmods.com/news/15319 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.

    Oh, don't think that it isn't impressive or a problem. It is great. Much better than just a year ago. Nothing to complain about. Imagine if they keep on this route in an year, 5 or even 10.

    AI is getting better. Some fingertip issues. The bottom part is faided and blended into the hip. The background chairs legs seem to be shaped differently depending on where they are. The face is really good. The air is excellent. Shoulders ... not too sure about the structure. The top of the arms seem a bit like football shape but not bad. The bellybutton is quite well palced IMO. The stomach and for the most part the hips are good. (Slight line above the blended bottom. However, that coudl have just been a natural fat line from pants or such) Bottom line. You have to really look and look hard to find minor issues. AI is getting really good.
