  It doesn’t work. I tried everything. User agent switching, etc.

  I have no idea how they do it. I did try some addons to change my user agent but that doesn’t work. At least it with peacock.

  You really don’t understand security updates.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Another big component that makes it hard to switch for some is also the fact that many programs and web apps won’t work on Linux.

  As an example , if you use peacock on your browser to watch things like wrestling PLEs, peacock(and other services) straight up block Linux users.

  It’s annoying when the product will work but it’s being gatekept by these greedy fucking companies.

  I hope this is a sarcastic joke.

  If it’s not, support means updates. More importantly security updates.

  There is a reason you don’t put a windows XP machine on the internet.

  You… suspect. So no evidence then, got it. This is how false information spreads.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does not having a (mainstream) social media account make you look suspicious to the authorities? Is it a good idea to have an innocent looking social media account just to look "normal"?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Do you have any tangible proof that you get marked as suspicious in any system?

  Also my answer is no. Also, the companies feed on people that have that pathetic outlook of “they aren’t going to stop collecting data”. You can still take measures to protect your privacy and mitigate your information from being farmed. Granted you won’t be 100% unless you are living off grid and away from human contact, but that doesn’t mean you should cuck out to the data farmers.

  I think I’ll just go to RadioShack and solder my own board. Every company is shit these days. 😔

  ASrock is ASUS. I don’t trust their quality. They are on the same level to me as Razer products. The lowest of the low in quality assurance.

  This is purely anecdotal but my last pc build was ASUS mobo and its absolute shit tier. I promised myself never to spend another dime on anything ASUS ever again.

  I got it cause it had good reviews. Asus ROG strix. I should have stuck with my gut and gone MSI or Gigabyte.

  Why don’t you pull the sock off from the front?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you like to transfer large files between friends across the internet?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  If they are local, you can just put it on a thumb drive and physically transfer it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Customer is mistakenly accused of text spamming for repeatedly replying STOP to political texts⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  On iPhone it’s just pressing any of the volume buttons once. It will mute the ringer and let it go to voicemail.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Customer is mistakenly accused of text spamming for repeatedly replying STOP to political texts⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Exactly what I do. Don’t respond and I just block and report.

  I do the same for phone calls from unknown numbers. I just press the volume button to mute the ringer and let it time out. If you hang up or pickup you get added to the list as active.

  What speculation? It’s literally spyware. You are giving it full low level access to your processor.
