Ahh sorry I’m thinking of EU launch dates

PS2 released in 2000. By 2002, Dreamcast already went under and Xbox and GameCube were about to release.

When home consoles used PCB cartridges, they were. That’s because PCBs are expensive to make compared to optical discs.

Keep it on non-dangerous topics and I’m with ya lol

You can get alarms that you place under the mattress and they shake the entire bed

This company wasn’t exactly targeted. It could have happened to literally anyone.

They believe Tories don’t go far enough.

You understand that most of them would end up in Hamas’s hands right?

No.

Correct. But it’s either this or literally starve. That’s why you’ve got people here saying it isn’t really a choice.

It can be. Depending on the circumstances in life you are in, credit may be the only way you’re able to pay for food.

Also the app is used by children.

It’s not scary in any way though? Or inappropriate for kids in any way?

Calling it nightmare fuel is quite the stretch tbh. It’s like calling a 6ft basketball player incredibly tall.

Yep! The security guard is also given a bunch of rules to follow such as “don’t let anyone outside of our neighbourhood (aka your local network) contact door 22”, which will also determine whether messages get delivered or not

Imagine your computer is a big block of flats and your applications are all people who live in the building.

Mail sent to the building address alone isn’t going to reach the intended recipient, because the postman doesn’t know what flat to post it to. So they need additional information such as ‘Flat 2C’

That’s the basic concept of ports. It’s basically additional addressing information to allow your computer to direct internet traffic to the correct applications.

When an application is actively listening on a port, it means that they are keeping an eye out for messages addressed to them, as designated by the port number. While an application is sending or receiving messages using a given port number, that port number is considered ‘open’.

Now, all sorts of applications do all sorts of things. Some are for the public to use and there are some that are useful within trusted circles, but can be abused by malicious people if anyone in the world can send messages to it. Thus, we have a firewall, which acts as a gatekeeper. A firewall can ‘block’ a port, denying access to a given group of people, or ‘unblock’ it, allowing access.

VPNs are a totally different thing. They are literally middlemen for your internet traffic. Instead of directly posting a message to somewhere and receiving a direct reply back, imagine you flew out to Italy to use a post box there and receive replies from there.

But it is true that these kinds of unintentionally racist differences in commentary are often done by white people. Not all white people but a large enough subsection of that population to become a general problem.

That’s what the comic is pointing out.

Well in the unlikely event that he did turn up at Nuremberg, he’d be hanged just like the top ranking Nazi officials were.

But if Hitler was captured, there’s a slim-to-none chance he’s living to even see that trial, much less attend it.

It’s not though. The question makes the assumption that he would have been handed over for the Nuremberg trials.

But the Soviets were fucking ruthless against Nazi Germany. They were REALLY driven by hatred for them. If a Nazi soldier surrendered to Russians, a summary bullet to the head was often the more merciful outcome.

And it was the Russians that would have found Hitler first, so it’s far more likely that they would:

1. execute him on-the-spot
2. torture him until death
3. have their own trial for him in Russia before torture/execution.

Have you tried a Linux distro?

I know it’s a meme at this point but one thing Linux is really good at is support for older hardware. That’ll allow you to get updates and put it on a network too.

There is audiophile. It refers to someone who is obsessed about audio quality.

“oh damn, you guys didn’t know? I feel bad for you but it’s probably too late for you now. Guess you’ll find out soon enough.”

Then: complete radio silence.
