Eeehhh, I don’t think worse is the right word. Less fidelity, yeah, but the sound is… warmer? I dunno, like I said, I’m not an audiophile, but I know our ears are analogue and all the things in nature that make me feel good have curves
Your mom, for instance
- Comment on Today's Survey. One point for everything that you have NEVER DONE 3 days ago:
I’m no audiophile, but there is a difference in sound. To me it’s not enough to invest in the type of equipment that maximizes that difference, but it’s still there
Plus turntables have become another niche technological LEGO set, to customize and improve until the hole in your chest is filled

So i don’t know which lock you had, the comment I made above describes most of the consumer dial safe locks out there, but not all.
Yours may have been like what I mentioned, and the last number was 90 or something so people would dial it correctly, or it may have been a different design with drop gates where you dial all the numbers and stop on the last number. It may have been a start CW instead of CCW, there’s a few different designs.
Spinning it lots of times at the beginning never hurts, it clears the wheel packs. Thanks for having a sense of humor btw lol
Anyway, yeah, they can be overly complicated and a business should have a keypad safe and good insurance. The tech or manager or whoever that showed you how to unlock the safe was a dick for sure
- Comment on Automatically Crack Safes With This Autodialer 4 days ago:
They can take hours to dial every combination of an S&G lock. Cheaper locks are quicker. Most Sentry “safe” dials can be manipulated in minutes if you know what you’re doing, no dialer needed
These tools are also pretty expensive and difficult to source if you’re not in the industry
- Comment on Automatically Crack Safes With This Autodialer 4 days ago:
Turn the dial counterclockwise past your first number three times, stopping on it the fourth time. Dial clockwise to the second number three times, dial counterclockwise to the third number twice, turn the dial clockwise until you feel the bolt retract. The latch will engage at about 0 and the dial will turn no farther than 85, probably it will stop at 90. Turn the lock lever to open the door
Spent hours on that stupid safe.
Skill issue

Top comment, really. Comprehensive and accurate
+1 for Jellyfin, all the features of Plex (that matter to me), none of the subscription costs.
I installed Jellyfin on my parent’s and sibling’s TVs and use direct play. I don’t get anything above 1080, lowest common denominator and all that. I set up kid’s shows and movies in separate folders and set up an account for my nieces and nephews, so my siblings can let them watch shows unmonitored without worrying what they’ll find. (I don’t trust the show ratings to work correctly) Meanwhile we can watch stuff like The Bear without the kids learning all of the Swears
Also i picked up a 16TB hdd for $250 a couple years ago so there’s that

Joshua Dean had a memory keen
He was strong and he ran every day
But his lungs turned to goo And he had a stroke too
At 46, he was sent on his way
Oh, and Swampy Barnett loved his mama
And he took a lot of pride in his work
He found 300 reasons why a plane couldn’t fly
And now he’s over his head in the dirt
You can know a lot
You can know a little
But whatever you know
Just don’t blow the whistle

- Comment on Our brains remembers at random cringe and awful things we did in the past to prevent us of doing them again. 1 month ago:
I’ve found a lot of success in working through things logically when the painful memories return.
What does this memory teach me?
Have I learned all I can from this memory?
If it has taught me everything it can, I can set this memory aside, as there is no purpose in dwelling on it.
I am a better person because of the lessons learned, thank you memory, you have served me well. You may rest
This puts me in a position of acknowledging my imperfections without suffering long term regret. I can’t change the past, and if I’ve learned from it, then I need to live in the Now, not the Then
- Comment on Plane carrying 64 collides with helicopter, crashes in Washington 2 months ago:
I wonder if this will wind up being similar to the Überlingen midair collision. An overworked ATC worker making a simple mistake with no other fail-safes in place
- Comment on Plane carrying 64 collides with helicopter, crashes in Washington 2 months ago:
That’s a pretty good guess. I now believe this 100%. Everything i said before was bullshit
TCAS warnings are inhibited below 1000AGL. This collision occurred between 200 and 300’ AGL.
I did not know that was the collision altitude, nor did I know TCAS was inhibited below 1000’.
See, i told you i know next to nothing about this. But that’s the advantage of spouting off. The quickest way to get the right info is to say something incorrect first.
It’s called Ohm’s Law
- Comment on Plane carrying 64 collides with helicopter, crashes in Washington 2 months ago:
I know nothing about military aircraft, and next to nothing about civilian aircraft, beyond what I’ve learned from Mayday! episodes and write-ups by Admiral Cloudberg. So I’m forming some strong and unjustified opinions with no actual information
I’d guess the military helicopter didn’t have a TCAS transmitter on, and ATC made some small but vital error, like vectoring the helicopter at a set altitude through the approach path of the landing airplane
I suppose we’ll learn more later, but i suspect the civilian aircraft followed direction correctly, did everything right, and still crashed due to ATC and Helicopter pilot error

It’s simple.
If the money gained by selling user data is greater than sales lost to piracy because of the required account, it’s a win for the company. They probably figure those countries that can’t create a PSN account are lost sales anyway, so screw em, right?

NGL it’s the only name that readily comes to mind. I’m not deep into cracked games, since my tastes are for smaller games like We Happy Few and Outer Wilds. Steam launcher works fine for those, I’m just opposed to a launcher and account from every publisher. Rockstar, EA, Sony, and others can kiss my shiney metal ass. If I have to create an account, I’m not interested
