I just hate the comic style that is used in presentations like this, it is just too cutsey, and I can’t take it seriously

Nah, I am happy with my mental state as it is.

I have never done shrooms or any drug.

I remember back when I found the Conet project CD boxset uploaded on the internet when I was into number stations.

It is a collection of number station recordings, released to try and get attention and focus people’s efforts to find and decode these signals.

A subtype of number stations are polytone stations, they broadcast tones that a computer can interpret into the message, so when you hear it, it is just what sounds like random tones played randomly at high speed.

The full recording also has a few more sections, there is often an identification string, like a peice of music to help agents tune in to the source, then there is a sync broadcast to have the computer figure out the timings, I have heard this as a rapid stacato tone signal.

Anyway, one of the most terrifying experiences I have had with media was when I was at a LAN party, I was playing OpenTTD with my friends in coop, while listening to the Conet project.

I get to a track that just starts with a slow droning rythm, I zone out from the sound and it is kinda nice with a slow, allmost meditative tempo in my headphones.

This goes on for minutes as I relax, then suddenly, the sound speeds up and a different stacato rythm starts.

And before I could react, my ears are filled with weird random beeps at a high speed.

I just ripped my headphones off my head as it sort of felt as if my brain was being reprogrammed, the long slow drone part felt as if it was made to soften my brain up, for the fast beeps to affect me.

I am an IT technician working in Microsoft 365 / Azure, Microsoft makes changes so often that their own documentation hasn’t even been updated with the proper new name of the product in the product’s own documentation, oh and the name change took place several months if not a year ago.

I feel like I belong to one of the last generations that had to figure stuff out on our own when it came to computers back when I was a kid.

I was born in 87, my first computer ran Windows 3.11, I remember installing Windows 95 from floppy disks.

The whole “it just works” part of tech is both fantastic and horrible, fantastic in that it works, horrible in that when it doesn’t you get way fewer tools to work with.

Me and my friends calls this phenomenom “appification”, and it is terrible.

VLC is in the process of appifying itself, just look at the screenshots of version 4.

I will stand with you on the hill defending the Office 2010 UI, it was beautiful, clear and easy to work with.

The flat design of 2013+ was a mistake.

What I ment was that bruning a disc is the secondary step to making a copy if a disc, you first need to rip the original disc into an ISO file.

I remember when we got our first CD burner, it was a black and copper colored Philips unit, it was back when you made sure to leave the computer alone when burning a CD because you you didn’t want to risk buffer underrun.

That is what I thought, I have burned many discs in my day, and I have never got an ISO from bruning a disc.

Jessup managed to burn the intact Half-Life CD

What?

I never claimed the manuals did avsolve them of anything.

I simply said that the manuals are nice and complained about the meaningless Apple hate when the commenter had not even looked at the linked manuals.

If you had bothered to click the link in the post and read the manuals, you’d have found out that the manuals are very nice, but no, you just wanted to go “Appol bad”

Come on, it’s not his fault, if Quark just bought better spatulas it would be fine

I will never forget when I had to help a coworker with her laptop, she had long nails that had worn grooves in her keyboard keys.

She typed on her nails, the sound it made was terrible.

Here you go!

Cropped it to 16:9 and resized it to 1920x1080

As for the file size, the original JPG of this out of the camera was only about 8MB, but the raw file is 34MB

The originals are in the 10-15MB range as JPGs, and are about 21 megapixels large, do you really need that large images for your desktop?

I can try and resize photo for your resolution if that would help

Tackar!

Just a quick note, if you look at the overhead wires, you can see a small white spot, that is an arc flash between the pantograph and the wires, I don’t know why it is there, it usually happens when there is an interruption of the power connection, between the wire and the pantograph, it is common during winter when ice forms on the wire, but not that common during summer/late summer.

Correct, which is why I regretted posting it as soon as i did.
