I wasn't sure if this was peer pressure or satire so I bought a tin.

How about the ability to set a specific dpi at the touch or hold of a button? I don't need to cycle through six settings, just allow me to toggle.

That sounds better then what I have run into, so thanks!

I would love to own one, but the investment is too great right now. All I want is something repairable that will drive, have cool air, and play music over Bluetooth.

Have you ever bough an external hardrive only to take the disk out of it?

Hiya, so am looking to buy more storage and while browsing am seeing some external harddisks, such as Western Digital My Book and Seagate Expansion Desktop for cheaper than the internal harddisks themselves. Have seen this one video from KTZ Systems where he bought up multiple of these external ones just to open them up and use...

I have opened other enclosures and found a custom board on the hard disk.

An increase in bad seeds on Bit Torrent?

So I've been grabbing a few shows I want to watch reruns of while playing Balatro that don't have good blu ray releases. My piracy is fairly limited these days so I don't bother with private trackers (do have a VPN though). In the past, I never really had an issue with grabbing a few one offs off the popular, maybe honeypot,...

Without context, I would suggest Transmission for troubleshooting. Qbittorrent is bloating and weird on Windows.

The torrents should be hashed, but that wouldn't stop someone from making a bad torrent or seeding one.

If someone made a file intentionally collided it would probably cause issues. These aren't collision issues, but bad chunks of data.

At a peek, it seems that this attack only causes delays in downloads. It's more possible that there are commonly shared files with similar issues.

streaming or torrenting today vs. 5 years ago

I've been a good boy for 5 years or so but the seas call to me. Are streaming sites the way to go now or is torrenting still a better bet for mainstream movies and tv? I'd imagine all of my accounts have been deleted on those sites so I'd be starting over.

Works fine enoughfor me.

What am I missing? Got a better suggestion?

We had a child's party that featured the mustard, pickle, bacon, and maybe 20 others. Not the pimple or barf ones.

Some were as advertised. Some were good. Some were disgusting.

Yes. You burn more easily near the water due to reflected light.

Dozens of stars show signs of hosting advanced alien civilisations ( www.newscientist.com )

Two surveys of millions of stars in our galaxy have revealed mysterious spikes in infrared heat coming from dozens of them. Astronomers say this could be evidence for alien civilisations harnessing energy from their stars by using a vast construction known as a Dyson sphere – although they can’t fully rule out more mundane...

The snipping tool.

Guess I'll need to block that so users don't accidentally send confidential information to Microsoft.

I think the next step down from Wikipedia is an actual encyclopedia. Also news websites for archives.
