Remember when malwarebytes was like… actually good and the go to for free anti virus?

Worked for me yesterday, but this was on a laptop just booted, no connection to internet so there’s no telling what version it was on.

Oi, mate! U gotta loicense to make declarations ‘ere?

I’m convinced he’s a fed running a propaganda campaign because there’s no way someone’s expending that much time and effort and not getting paid for it.

They removed the option. Even if you boot with WiFi off. So now you have to open CMD and run the command OOBE\BYPASSNRO reboot and it’ll give you the option to skip. Had to look that one up cause yeah it used to be just boot w/o Ethernet plugged in

Nah he often jumps into my post comments to make some remark

Ran into this shit yesterday trying to set up a laptop for someone where I had no internet access.

Imagine having everything ready to go on a USB drive and you can’t get past the second screen unless you find WiFi.

At least this command still works, but damn.

It’s a bit of a drive tbh. Like 45 minutes, but still within reach.

I miss Fry’s tho.

Oh I’m right there with you.

Yeah man, think of all the money you’ll save on streaming subscriptions once you build it

(Just ignore the usenet, VPN, and indexer costs)

Nice find

I mean, parts gotta come from somewhere.

The real trap of the home server is the ever increasing need for more storage space

Ok, hear me out. Yes it was built from scraps, but see what had happened was:

I had to replace the motherboard and got a good deal on one bundled with RAM at MicroCenter. Got it home to do the swap and realized I’d bought an ATX board when I had a mid tower.

So then I went and bought a nice big new case so I had space to work in. Then I found my power supply (which was reused, but missing cables and this wasn’t an issue before) was missing cables I needed.

So another trip to MicroCenter and coming up empty on these damn cables I needed for the power supply I said fuck it and bought a new one. Only to get it home of course and find out the fucking connectors were non standard mini connectors and the cables that came with it were too short.

So I had to run back to MicroCenter and swap it.

So more money than I tracked later and I basically ended up with the Server of Theseus.

Oh and then after a couple of months my reused RX480 started triggering thermal shutdowns (I think) so I ended up replacing my 1080TI with a 3080 and tossed the 1080 in the server.

I don’t see it on Netflix or Crunchyroll currently.

It’s fake. Here’s a politifact (yes, really) article about it. And here’s a breakdown of how this came to be

Referring to this?

Except:

Speaking with Them: Wachowski clarifies her previous comments, explaining that The Matrix was not intended to be a trans allegory when it was in production. While she acknowledges the movie’s strong trans themes, she says the ideas came about naturally, without intention on her or co-director Lana Wachowski’s part. Check out what Wachowski had to say below:

No, I didn’t [confirm The Matrix is a trans allegory].

Yeah, so that came from an interview I did for Disclosure. They had a bunch of Matrix questions. And the question they asked me was about Switch, who was originally written as a trans character who was male in the real world and female in the matrix. And they took that response and attached the question that everyone now references that it’s a trans allegory. And so it was slightly out of context, but I don’t sit here and put a stink up about it, because it is a trans allegory in that it was written by two closeted trans women. And so all of the things that are in it are super-duper trans. The idea of transformation, even the whole “My name is Neo, Mr. Anderson —” that idea of claiming identity, it’s undeniable.

Yeah, with all the decisions we made with that film, there’s just this burbling transness simmering below everything. So when I look back at the way that we cast those two parts, I can see how obvious it is that they’re one part in a lot of ways; that they’re two sides of the same coin. It’s not like these were conscious decisions, but more like we’re finding our way instinctively as these two closeted trans women. So all those things that your receptors are buzzing about are completely valid. When people say, “Oh, it’s a trans allegory,” it’s like, “Yeah… it is, but we weren’t like, Hey, let’s write a trans allegory.” That’s not how it started. We were like, “Hey, let’s write this action film,” and then we got our trans all over it. [laughs]

It was not intentionally written as such, no.

But DS9 only has 7 seasons

Edit: wait a minute… it came out 33 years ago…
