    sof006 reacted to 19_blackie_73 in WD MyCloud Web Services offline causing customers to lose access to their Local NAS Drive Data   
    How the frick did anyone think this is a good idea to link a cloud service with the access to the locally stored data?
    How stupid is that?
    Isn't that the whole point of having a NAS - not relying on an external factor such as google drive or other similar services?

    sof006 got a reaction from Datrat in Nintendo is back at it again   
    Since Nintendo has turned into this anti-consumer company I refuse to purchase any of their products. I miss the old Nintendo, now they just alienate their consumers.

    UPDATE:
      
    Nintendo chose VIOLENCE with a nuclear warhead. As per usual abusing copyright to scare content creators into submission. They issued 2 copyright strikes. striking down 4 videos, 1 video in one strike, and 3 in the other, putting Pointcrow's channel in Jeopardy. He gives a detailed description that would take an eternity to write out without some AI tool to transcribe it. Hopefully this makes it in WAN for another Nvidia beat down esque rant.
     
     
     
     
     
    Summary
     
    Pointcrow, a YouTube creator known most recently for a variety of modded challenges in Pokemon, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (BOTW), and a variety of other miscellaneous content has been struck with the Nintendo censorship hammer. He has been posting content involving modded BOTW for over 2 years, but after just releasing the BOTW multiplayer mod he aided in developing, Nintendo has cracked down on one of the people keeping BOTW content alive and fresh. Nintendo blocked the videos down based on "Copyright grounds"

    This company sucks, I hate them, but people will still buy from them no matter how far they go to keep their precious games out of "evil hacker's" hands.

    sof006 got a reaction from Radium_Angel in Does HP like to get SUED? || HP is blocking third-party printer ink again...... ||   
    Maybe you are, the last HP laptop I owned was made of metal but the chassis was warped out of the box. No damage to the box etc so retailer wouldn't accept a return, they wanted to blame me but wouldn't use those words directly and told me to speak to HP. HP as you can imagine wanted nothing to do with me and pointed the finger back at the retailer and basically said "You shouldn't have bent it".
     
    I used the laptop as it still functioned but after a year I ditched it for a Lenovo.

    HP are a failing business, they currently have a 45% chance of bankruptcy
     
    I honestly can't wait to see the day, they're a scummy company.

    sof006 reacted to Alex Atkin UK in Signal threatens to leave UK if UK's attempts to undermine E2EE passes into law   
    And the government are too stupid to realise that these backdoors are a huge security risk to themselves while doing nothing useful to catch actual criminals, who wont be using any mainstream company for their E2EE.

    All this ever does is push people further underground, making it harder for law enforcement to catch offenders as they will be less complacent about their security.  There have been plenty of reports from law enforcement saying as much, that every time a big change is made like this it just makes their jobs harder.

    sof006 reacted to Zando_ in Netflix does a fully sick 360 on their account sharing policy   
    They pulled a 180, then pulled another 180 = 360. 
     
    OP, please put those images in a spoiler tag, that is a looooot of scrolling even on my iMac. 
     
    As for the topic, yeeeeep. Lots of people predicted this, they simply said it was a mistake to let uproar die down then sneak it back in. I hope for, and look forward to, a slow slide to bankruptcy for Netflix if they continue to be completely oblivious to how and why folks use their service. People sharing accounts weren't potential customers to begin with, when I have a netflix sub active I share it with my friends who literally cannot afford one on their own, they were never potential customers of Netflix in the first place, so trying to restrict account sharing makes me (the actual potential customer) faaar less likely to renew the sub.

    ChatGPT doesnt get everything right, some of the code it generates is flawed. So I understand it getting banned.

    sof006 reacted to starsmine in Amazon is releasing a new Tomb Raider   
    They brough back some of the old tomb raider style puzzles with shadow and its optional tombs. 
    But yes, I would love if they doubled down on that. I love the classic tomb raider games.

    But we dont know, just that its the same Dev team under a new publisher.

    sof006 reacted to Salv8 (sam) in Chinese Loongson chips coming in 2023, reportedly on par with Ryzen 5000 / 11th-Gen Intel   
    *sniff sniff*
    more powerful then the 5000 series?
    yea i call bullshit, they'll skew the results to make it look like it's more powerful but when reputable sources get their hands on them it'll be a blood bath.
