Title list has been updated. Do not think you can escape me

Hey that bot took some time to code. Better than chatgpt ones that only advertise viagra pills and fake insurance.

Summary
On April 15th, Discord put out an update which included a clause in the Terms of Service to get users to agree to waive their right to sue Discord for any legal reason.

My thoughts
Unfortunately, this is legal in the United States (do not turn this into a political discussion) but users have 30 days from April 15th or the day you sign up for discord (though at this point, why would you?) Personally I've used it a lot since it's introduction, but perhaps its time to slowly move back to teamspeak or mumble.
 
If you want to send an email, there's already a good template for it.

Caroline is worse than TV though, she does it live here on forums all day... want personal bot troll entertainment? It's right here baby on off-topic... just read Caroline's posts! Lol.

Well, it is too late to change the channel here.....

Worse, he's a TV.

Congratulations on your Gayness !

Are you dead yet?

@TVwazhere

Congrats to @GDRRiley @Kilrah @Skiiwee29 and @minibois for killing the other 15,996 combatants in this years Gladiatorial race to become a mod. Pray there is no sudden death...

Congratulations on your Gayness !

new battery for the old inspiron Dell Inspiron 15-7567.. old batt was becoming a spicy pillow already ... then a brief power on test to confirm its working .. old laptops are defnitely better when it comes to swapping out batteries 
 
 
 
 
 

2 iphone  plus 128gb .
for my mother and her brother.

As mentioned previously, I'd gotten an SMS from the game shop downstairs, collected my personal GOTY....

 
Installed it, but had no time to play except a brief run thru the first few minutes, runs perfectly smooth....going out now for lunch with my bud....on him of course.

Do I get like a 3 year anniversary for how MIA I’ve been? Lol 

Science, man!

2019 was NOT 5 years ago ;-;

Happy 5 year anniversary to me

My favorite Lego kit from 2003, the international space station 
missing one piece, the 2x1 flat smooth top plate that goes on the tiny Endeavor 
the super annoying part is the original kit came with two of those and both are missing 

 

I looked up the PCB and all the replacement vendors mentioned that I would've had to swap the BIOS IC anyway. Since the board was pretty much useless the way it was, I tried soldering the wires from a sacrificial USB chord I had lying around directly to the PCB. The data pads were completely beyond repair, at least for my skill level, so I had to go for the traces. In fact, you can tell that I had to bypass that one surface mount components (I'm guessing it's a resistor) because I couldn't attach it from the port side and just hoped that it works. I'm terrible at soldering and I probably also don't have a soldering iron suited to working with small stuff like this, but I managed to wrangle the wires in place for the connection to stick and get all the data off of the drive successfully after securing it all with a bit of hot glue.
 

 

 

WD still does it... Seagate tends to have regular SATA drives.
 
But yeah, soldering wires and using a breakout as temporary connector the time to get the data out would be the solution. PCB replacement is much less trivial.

Bigwig: "Hey Avocado, I got this external hard drive. Someone brushed past it and dropped it off a table while it was plugged in. Think you can fix it? It's got some data on it that I need."
Me: "Maybe, depending on the drive I may have an adapter, if the drive itself has the typical SATA interface."
Samsung: "Hold my beer"

 
Yep, that's a broken off USB port that's soldered directly to the PCB of the harddrive. And this is why I keep telling people to ask me first before they go out and buy this stuff, because I would've told them to just buy an internal drive and stick it in an enclosure. But no, bigwigs need to just go out and buy whatever. And of course, the data on it is nowhere on the corporate network, because people still insist on bringing their shit on physical media and never back up anything. So yeah, time to buy a replacement PCB and pray to any deity willing to listen that there are no other security or lockout measures that prevent simple swapping.

Priciest PC component I've ever bought. But it's good.
Have to live off noodles for a few months I think. Just to recuperate.

As I'd mentioned, here's a couple of pics of my purchases:

 
The Gigaworks T40 Series II speakers, excuse the mess as I was simply testing it on my coffee table just to ensure that the speakers work. Sounds pretty good actually....

I love when people make fun of the genius ideas of the world's richest baby. Even his only good idea out of this whole debacle, which was to open up community notes (which already existed before he took over, so he doesn't get to take credit for that, because everything he touches already existed) to the public is used to make fun of him whenever he spews constant nonsense. Heck, even just the fact that it has been almost a year since the rebrand and everybody is still just calling it Twitter, with media publications doing the "X, formerly Twitter" thing is hilarious. We let Facebook get away with their Meta rebrand, and yet, Elon just can't manage to convince people that "no seriously guys, X is like the cooles letter of the alphabet, so we gotta use that as our umbrella".
