- Comment on 80s and 90s commercials... they just hit different, don't they? 2 weeks ago:
tbh it’s just nostalgia, they’re as annoying as ads now (maybe much less than ai slop ads or www/youtube ads but still)
- Comment on What's the deal with people liking old devices? 2 weeks ago:
- they are affordable (better to play with 10 different old devices than 1 new device, isn’t costly when you break it)
- usually more tinkerable (older devices tend to be more modular or easier to repair, only older iphones can be jailbroken, android custom rom scene is basically dead now, etc)
- fun to make old shits do near impossible stuff (like overclocking a pentium 4 for giggles)
- Comment on What Phone do you guys use? 2 weeks ago:
i don’t use the internet much with the phone, and the OS isn’t that outdated since i don’t use the stock rom.

- Comment on So say, someone lives in an English speaking country and wanna see a movie in the threaters but they struggle to understand English, how are they supposed to watch it? 2 weeks ago:

- Comment on How to check if Proton VPN has switched locations? 3 weeks ago:
proton allows generating woreguard config for a specific server even on free plans on their wrbsite, worth checking out

- Comment on Do you stick to the same linux distro across your devices? 4 weeks ago:
tbh there are really a lot of things that aren’t on the repo or even the slackbuilds (kinda like arch AUR), kinda takes time to manage and install other packages. still i can’t find a better distro yet so i’m keep using it…
i should try gentoo/void/alpine/arch someday but i’m too lazy.
- Comment on Do you stick to the same linux distro across your devices? 4 weeks ago:
i do use freebsd :) and occasionally win7/10…
usage goes like freebsd >>> linux > m$win
- Comment on Do you stick to the same linux distro across your devices? 4 weeks ago:
i have slackware 15 on all, it’s great how i can just copy over binaries and they just run because all the linked libraries are the same version

- Comment on W10 EoL and possibly switching to Linux (various tech questions) 5 weeks ago:
afaik (i could be wrong) there’s only modification time for files on linux. it did seem to show properly. as far as i remember the ntfs permission (file owner, etc) wasn’t being shown properly (all just showed as my user?), but it could just be a mount option.
- Comment on W10 EoL and possibly switching to Linux (various tech questions) 5 weeks ago:
I literally explained that in the comment above, just replying “LTSC” and then explaining that to me adds nothing to the discussion. what’s the point?
- Comment on Downdetector and Speedtest have been sold for over $1 billion 5 weeks ago:
damn, both were kinda useful. doesn’t seem $1B worth tho lol
- Comment on W10 EoL and possibly switching to Linux (various tech questions) 5 weeks ago:
not sure exactly what metadata you mean, i don’t really know well about NTFS’s advanced features. i just tend to have some version of windows installed in another partition or a drive and ocasionally copy files from and to it, never had any issues. ntfs-3g is a bit slow tho due to being FUSE.
the winehq compatibility db is outdated in some cases, so it’s best to just try for yourself and see if it runs ok. if it doesn’t work well, it would usually be very obvious. (crashes, glitches, etc)
yes LTSC 2021 and 21H2 is the same thing
massgrave generates a legit activation ticket unlike the old windows hacktivation methods like KMS (KMS haktivators used to run a local activation server baiscally). so it even auto activates after reinstalling just like a legit key. no downsides other than the fact it’s not “legal”, but that’s the same for those sketchy keys since they are also usually violations of Micro$oft EULA.
- Comment on What to do with an old iPhone that I no longer use? 5 weeks ago:
sell it maybe? 13 is still pretty recent. and iphones are hard to tinker with, like that one is very likely not even jailbreakable
