Yeah sadly now it's the 6 o'clock news.

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 hour ago

The original at least had some levity.

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 hours ago

But you also failed to provide any concrete examples of what is supposed to happen to my Windows 7 machine connected to the internet.

What security threat, exactly? If you can show me that, I'll buy a new PC with Win 11 this afternoon.

I feel like watching Disturbed's cover of Land of Confusion again.

Wow, so when you cut yourself shaving, it bleeds like in the WWE, you go to the ER, and it takes months to heal?

It nicked his ear. He bled a bit. It healed. Besides, he's old, how could you spot a scar among the hair, wrinkles, and moles?

We're big bags of water, but ears are thin flaps of skin. Guess what? That pressure wave probably moved the ear out of the way.

Sheesh, what personal soap opera are you invested in so that you can't see the absurdity of your position?

You have provided no substantive evidence of what I can't do with Windows 7. You have provided nothing but vague fear-mongering while inflating your chest about what a biker bad-ass you are.

Yet you refuse to see that other people also make trade-offs. My tradeoff is that sometimes I can't install piece of shit software like KiCAD that somehow requires Windows 11 to move lines on a screen.

No big loss.

What is it defying?

I don't think I'm "at par" with Microsoft, what kind of sickness is this? Your brain fascinates me.

"There is a reason no one serious uses win 7 online anymore"

Oh I see, you are a serious person doing serious business. Serious serious serious. Meanwhile not a single concrete example has been given to me about these serious things I can't do.

"Same reason cars without seatbelts are few on the roads."

There is no overlap between the physical world and software delusions. There is no physical safety hazard here. Meanwhile, millions of motorcyclists use no seatbelts.

Again, your brain is fascinating.

So basically, you derive your identity from this.

Bad news if you're a tiger, I guess.

What from this decade can I not do? You seem to think this is fashion. It's just technical crap.

Computers stopped solving real problems a long time ago. "Something from this decade" like what? Endless games for children that stunt your mind? AI fart videos?

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago (2 children)

So even if it's 4mm away? 5mm? 6mm? 7mm? 8? 9?

You argue as if you can be equally injured in a car crash by being a bystander because of the energy of a speeding car. Like, no?

You just like reading what you type, not making sense.

 

Not me! Maybe not the best selection, there were more Warner Brothers discs, infamous for bit rot (it's real, even their regular DVDs die prematurely), I passed on those. I have a few and they are all dead.

[For those who don't know, HDDVD was the HD format that lost the format wars of the early 2000s. There are very few readers any more out there. The XBOX 360's external reader is one, the Toshiba machines are the others. I have both!]

 

Pretty lame I guess but this is pretty fancy and looks like unused and unopened. It really slowly, smoothly AND silently opens up.

Now to find magneto-optical disks.

 

All 6 seasons with 6 still sealed. Nostalgia, baby. I miss the '90s!

 

A real horroshow Bluray

 

A nice hat trick for today. I happened to be there when they were bringing fresh meat to the shelves. Picked 'em right off the cart. I mean "The Prisoner"? Come on now. Cosmos 2014 on Bluray?

 

Hey for 4$ who can complain? Each disc is immaculate.

 

Not sure if this falls into "thrifting". This store used to have pleasant deals on materials but I'd say in the last few years they went nuts with the prices.

The only deal I ever got there was an IKEA filing cabinet on wheels in new condition for like 20$. The kind of IKEA stuff that had heft to it, not the newer stuff.

No wonder they closed, charging twice the price of new for donated items. Far worse than Renaissance or VV.

 

It's like new. I guess I'll have to start playing games now, does Solitaire support joysticks?

C'est rare que je trouve des séries Québecoises. Je suis bien content d'avoir trouvé celle-ci, mais trouver la Saison 2... pas sur

 

I regularly find HDDVDs and the best part is they're always priced as a DVD. This one looks new. Maybe it was part of a starter bundle with someone's player years ago.

I don't even care about Star Wars due to my crippling cynicism, but for $4.50 who cares!

 

Hey for $4.50, I'm pretty happy, plus it comes with a Bluray. I hope my next thrift find is a UHD player...
