Which, ya know, seems like a safer place for doing the walking thang.

There was one street near me where it was indeed the opposite. The road was barely used, but pristine. Sidewalk was in awful shape, you could easily trip on the holes, and one manhole cover was bent and barely holding on, as it was actually just some metal sheet.
I only used it as a kid when I rode my bike, as it was more fun.

If you believe in sex name every sex that has ever been sexed.

You can, it's just a connection type.
If talking specifically about phones, Android allows specifying DoT, and Firefox on Android has DoH. Or at least Fennec and Nightly do, I don't use regular Firefox on phone.

Perhaps some do. Reddit has or at least had an onion address.
But last I checked, they were blocking Tor IP addresses... even on their onion address. Someone out there had to be smoking something.

Existence of neurodivergent people implies the existence of neuroconvergent people.

Hey, I still didn't watch the FNAF movie. It came out in 2023, but I am waiting for the DVD to get cheaper. Other movies are like £3 on Amazon, this one was £15.

Still works for me.

I prefer up:

  1. I get to see if the water is actually leaving and stops flowing when it's supposed to, which often happens not to be the case
  2. It's easier to put it up than down for me

No. 2 might not make much sense, but I don't like touching the seat. It's far easier to put it up with the side of my sole than do the opposite.

So there's a certain NSFW drawing I've seen: https://rule34.us/index.php?r=posts%2Fview&id=1768423

It's Wilson with dick and balls. Is it 3 or 2 balls though?

I use a calculator and decide what I won't need based on that in the store.

Do they have like, free time or something?

In high school it was also not rare that I'd say submit my homework at 02:30, get it graded at 03:00 and then we'd meet in a class on same day at 07:00.
Anyone getting sleep?

 
 

According to the prosecution, Glukhikh searched for pictures of Azov insignia on Google while he was on the bus on the morning of 24 September, though how the security forces had been made aware of the search was not disclosed.

The case materials include an image of Glukhikh’s phone lying on the table, clearly displaying the search query he is accused of making.

Bruh...

Seen on Cisco Catalyst 3560G during pirated software update (just for playing around, not production use).
The checksums were verified against Cisco download center.

 
 

Sorry for the Imgur link, catbox wasn't loading as image, just as a link again: https://files.catbox.moe/j3a7cl.PNG

 

So, I got this. But I also know these things aren't the most reliable and I am really paranoid about breaking it, and there's some suspicious things.

First, it feels cheap, especially the USB port on the back feels like it wants to break off.

Second, and quite worrying, when I first got it, it was clicking and not reading disks. Slower when I held it with the opening towards the top, faster with opening towards bottom. I thought it was dead, when eventually after a few retries it started working. Now, this was faster clicking, especially fast shortly before it started working, so perhaps it was just stuck.
On the other hand, I found this: https://www.grc.com/tip/codfaq2.htm

Most users who have lost their crucial data tell the same sad story of hearing "those clicks" some time ago "but then they went away and everything seemed okay for a while."

Now, 2 of the disks also had some smaller issues. One had trouble loading. Formatting it seems to have fixed the issue. Maybe. I used fdisk so it left out the first 1MB.
The second loads fine, but doesn't seem to like writing. It seems to do it in bursts, and it is audible. There's also 2 sections where it produces a buzz, both on read and write.
Here's an audio sample from continuous (one file) write to that disk:

Current ideas

Checking disks for damages by pulling back the metal cover and rotating the disk manually, looking for stuff like this: https://www.grc.com/tip/codfaq4.htm or anything suspicious (the white cloth inside is too close and hairy for my liking).

Peeking into the drive to check for head damage and dirt.

Treating it like I treat running HDDs (do not unpower without parked heads, avoiding movement and vibrations), and generally being careful even when off (avoiding drops).

 

Approximately EUR 8 including shipping. Still sealed (probably - if not re-sealed).
There's definitely some more stuff in the box like a manual and driver disc that I can hear moving around. After all, the boxes are fairly large compared to what you'd get today.

I'd want to unpack them... but I also don't because they survived so long. I don't know. Maybe if I'll get yet another one...

Here's a look at the entire box:

Specs:
Bluetooth 1.2 Class 1
USB 1.1

Minimum requirements:
300MHz CPU
128MB RAM
Windows 98SE

So what about the Class 1?
Typically the devices you use are Class 2 with Tx power of up to 2.5mW and range of around 10m.
Class 1 can go up to 100mW with range of around 100m. Assuming both ends are same class. Otherwise you're just causing more interference on 2.4GHz.

It also has an external antenna giving it some cool factor.

 

Bought online for EUR 22.

At first I got worried because it was just clicking. I thought I got one with the click of death, But after some 15 minutes of several retries, it got quieter and eventually started loading disks.

Curiosity killed the cat. I was curious to see what's on them:

The ones on left had no files, the 2 on right did. Mostly the F disk. The top one had some program called powerdvd 4.

On the F one, photorec found some TTF files (fonts), exe files, 4 second videos of motorcycle speeding up and fireworks, CompCore Multimedia inc. SoftPeg bitmap banner, and some random TXT files with variables and program descriptions.

Stored undeleted were game saves of following games: Etherlords, Gorasul, Hooligans, Operation Flashpoint (incl. exe), Renegade, Sacrifice, Serious Sam - The second encounter

There were also some spreadsheets with lists of games, and of course RAR archive with colection of generic porn.

The only interesting file is spreadsheet with list of compenents for a "new computer". Most files were dates around 2002.
Case - Miditower ATX
MOBO - Microstar MS KT266 Pro2 RU VIA PRO266A
CPU - AMD Athlon XP 1900+ Socket A
Cooler - Evercool MT2 Platinum Socket A DMI

FDD - Alps 3.5" 1.44MB
HDD - Seagate ST340016A, Barracuda IV, 2MB (buffer), 7200rpm
GPU - Microstar MS8853 G3 Titan 500 Pro, 64MB TVout

I lied, there's no Netflix.
Instead I have a local Jellyfin server with twenty terabytes of pirated media.
