To be fair and set the record straight here:
Caroline IS currently a member in good standing over at TPU with over 800 posts to their credit.
I just checked their profile over there and that's how it is, even if they haven't logged in since last year. I've not seen any indications of a ban over anything but I'm sure Caroline can set that part of the story right if they have to.

And speaking of off topic:

There's a button there for if you don't like reading what someone posts btw.

Sounds like you have a lot of pent up anger that would be solved by not "having" to read a certain user's posts. 
 

Bruh, double posting is very comon on this fourm I did it so much because my wifi was wack

Also don't blow for too long otherwise the Dog will bite into your Nose:

Trying to report the double post in the Helldivers thread? I saw it and removed it.

I can't report (my) comments anymore 🥲

*Precedes to receive French kisses from the dog:*

I dont have a dog but I think I like this thread 😆

My Dogs when it's 4am: Time for a round of barking around Outside for absolutely no reason:

We live in an age where you need an account for your "smart" toaster. There's no reason to need to link an account to play a game on a different platform. That'd be like having to link our LTT Forum accounts to Discord in order to use the LTT Discord server.
 
I hate it here.

Summary
Sony has mandated that PC players of "Helldivers 2" link their PlayStation Network (PSN) accounts to continue playing. This requirement, which becomes effective later this month, has led to significant uproar within the gaming community. The backlash has been fueled not only by the mandatory account linkage but also by Sony's refusal to offer refunds to those affected, which has intensified the community's frustration.



Additionally, a controversial comment made by the game's Community Manager, Spitz, during a PirateSoftware stream has further stirred discontent.

My thoughts
This new policy harms both the community and the integrity of multiplayer gaming. It's unfair and problematic to force players to link their accounts and reveal (additional) personal information post-purchase. The fact that many players can't even create or link a PSN account due to geographic restrictions compounds the issue, effectively barring them from accessing a game they've already bought. This frustration is amplified by the fact that "Helldivers 2" fundamentally does not require a PSN account to operate.

If I had ever seen this on my way to work - I'd been like "Fuck it, I'm calling in today".

Sometimes you just know the "Bullshit of the day" ain't worth it, piled on top of the rest you already know you'll run into.

I just thought this fit: 
 

Yeah i think this falls firmly into "Fuck Around, Find Out", or possibly "Do Stupid Thing, Win Stupid Prizes".

lol what ? Get rekt Razer. I thought this Mask was just an April fools joke.

While cool and all but it's getting to the end of it's time (the watercooling is dying, the quick connects are leaking as said in the description) and what would Linus do with it?
 
It would be probably the longest running tech series on the YouTube to get it running:
- Getting all to fit into a building (probably the Labs building from which it still would take a lot of space).
- Upgrading the building to house it (the cooling loops, environmental controls, power and probably fire suppression).
- Fixing the watercooling that has caused enough expenses and downtime within 6 months to make it better for the NCAR to eat their losses and sell it off than keep it.
- Fixing the damages that the failing watercooling has caused (only the CPUs and RAM DIMMs are common parts, pretty much everything else is proprietary to that machine).
- Finding the 1% of the nodes that are currently suffering from ECC errors, fixing them and then probably replacing 10% of the RAM to not have nodes with ECC errors within few months.
- Cabling all of it (all internal cables will be given with the machine but they will be removed, that's a lot of cabling).
- And then finally figuring out what Linus could do with it (no, it won't even run Cinebench, even less Crysis).
 
Oh yeah, and it's also apparently sold without the storage. The HPE SGI ICE XA includes 40 PB of DDN storage with IBMs SpectrumScale which aren't included in the auction (or at least they aren't listed in the auction). Remember how long it took Linus to finish the first Petabyte project?

Summary
Not only was the Zephyr mask a totally stupid concept, it may not have been an N95.

My thoughts
A weird idea to begin with, but according to the FTC, the company never submitted the mask for the required testing in order to certify it N95.  Now everyone who purchased one is to get a full refund.  I believe I remember Linus calling the mask "stupid."  If you look at the FTC site, Razer has actually stipulated to paying this fine.

Honestly, if I went with wireless, they would have lasted probably 3 years. Still rocking these after 8 or so years...

Wireless was too much right now. 😞
 
 

I was wondering what happened to that dude 🤣🤣
