  • I remember playing shareware Doom (not enough storage for the full wad) on the nub of the 7650. Later I got the N70, then N73 and (I think) E65. Loads of pirated S60 and Java games on those bad boys. With a bit of tinkering you could even get N-Gage games running to play Tony Hawk 1. Good times.

    The particular kind of loud narcissism people are describing in this thread isn’t particularly common amongst European christians in my experience and when it comes up it almost always seems to be USAmericans that complain about it. That leads me to believe it’s less about christianity and more just a different flavour of the typical selfish individualism that (to me looking in from the outside) seems to dominate American culture. So if you insist on painting a whole group of people with one brush, perhaps it’s Americans who need to get their fellow countrymen and women in line…








  • I have a really weird story related to this:

    I was doing IT for an esports event, with 10 identical PCs on stage. Identical hardware, identical images, everything. One of them had much worse FPS than the rest. Okay, weird. Probably the player did something weird with their config.

    • New SSD with fresh image: same.
    • Switch SSDs with the next PC over: FPS still low, but fine on the other PC now using the SSD from the problem PC.
    • Switch entire PC with spare: still low FPS on the spare
    • Switch literally everything, including monitor and every single cable: still no improvement. Somehow this spot is cursed.
    • Move the PC out from under the table and put it on a chair one metre to the side: FPS issues magically fixed.

    My best guess is there was some kind of electrical interference manifesting in that one particular location. Never seen anything like it before or since…


  • If you go to the library and tell the librarian you are planning to shoot up your school and ask where you can find books to help with that, I bloody well hope they would report you. Because it sounds like that is basically the equivalent of what happened here. It’s not like someone using a library to privately access information and then using it in a harmful way. OpenAI apparently knew exactly what this person was doing on their platform and (allegedly) decided it was better for their bottom line to look the other way. At that point they have a clear moral obligation to act, imo.


  • People in country where shit like this happens literally every single day, can’t believe it when it happens to the most high profile, unpopular, piece of shit person who actually deserves it in the country…

    The US practically breeds these people. The only reason any president survives their term is because killing someone surrounded by highly trained bodyguards 24/7 is harder than shooting up a school full of unarmed children.
