**The noise made by “bald eagles” in movies is not actually a bald eagle, they sound too wimpy, so they dubbed in another bird.

And NEVER use biometrics


This is 2026, and I’m American, so there are a LOT of ways to get shot for dumb shit.


I always hit “Factory Data Reset” before crossing a border, but now they aren’t just at (or nenar) borders.
Time to keep any data on a server, in a jurisdiction that tells the MAGAt motherfuckers where to stuff it.
Sadly hard to find a commercial service. Sync is in Canada, and they’re a compelte joke now that Carney is ruining the place. Tuta is in Germany, and they have AfD running a new Nazi takeover one chunk at a time. Proton is Switzerland which is good… For Citizens. Most of us aren’t Swiss, though.
Honestly we need someone to make a service like Proton, and put it in Iceland…
Which will be good, until that fuckwit Cheeto mistakes it for Greenland and invades.


Airport?
What is this? 1999?
Back before ICE who has NEVER stayed where they are supposed to be.
And if it’s not them it’s the dogfuckers at nenw FBI.


I can’t solder to save my life, but this still makes me take them off the list for potential future boards.
Granted, I prerfer RISC-V where posible, but a few things still need ARM.
Now I need to look around for a alternative to two Pi5s, the Pi4, and Pi Zero that were on my list.


Well, I have a big enough backlog to never run out of games if I live to break world records, so fuck all the new shit let the industry die.


I think I may start doing that just so whoever I use as a host can be bound to my personal address, and I won’t have to pay for more storage to get an extra alias.


Exactly, the fact that my paid email wasn’t approved, but the crap I have only ever used to download Minecraft updates with worked fine.
I’m sure GMail woukd have worked, too, but I delted that after they had demanded an ID for YouTube to watch a music video and then again for Voice where I’ve had the same active number since the service launched.


Steam support.
I had to make a hotmail account because they swore my personal email was a “throwaway” acount and refused to use it.
I mean, what kind of derp is that?
You have an account with nearly two thousand games on it you don’t use a spam service for recovery.
And if a “free” email from Be Evil, Inc. and Microslop counts for recovery damn near anything should.


Unless you use an email provider they don’t recognize and refuse to update it.


You know, I bought the collection from GOG when they had 2000, 3, and 4 in a bundle…
I haven;t played since 2k on DOS, and should probably try the newer ones.
I was a fan of MAXIS, but pretty much wrote the series off after EA got involved.


Sorry, isn’t “sex offender” synonymous with the Guardians of Pedophiles?


Archive link forthe “We block your VPN, now gimmie dat IP!” site?


I tend to forget tehy exist, then see someone say “There’s a 1.0 release!” like just popped up for Valheim.
I mean I did the same with PalWorld, though…
The pathing was so atrocious I gave up and didn;t bother trying again until the 1.0 release.
But I bought that more to say “Fuck You!” to Nintendo than for itself :P


Microsoft said…
Our panel of experts has determined that is a lie!
I hadn’t finished.
It doesn’t matter.


I’ve had a few “updates” forced on me by Steam that broke games, so I only buy DRM-Free with offline installers, now. I own Civ4 from GOG, Civ5 IIRC is a Tenoke pack I torrented.


Nope,I run through a permanent VPN, so it can say “You already did this” when I did not. An exit refresh works, just need to get an IP nobldy else used.


4 & 5 are pretty close, in my book, but 4 has a GOG release and 5 is still a cracked Steam copy rather than owned, so I pick the one they let me buy.
I got a disconnect for alleged piracy, all it did was give me completely free internet when I bypassed it.
And the government folks, especially in the current admin full of DOGE boys and crypto bros, are even dumber than the corpos who can;t get anything right.
