That reminds me of the court scene in Ghostbusters. “It’s true, your Honor. This man has no dick.”

There was also a kids’ animated series and action figures based on Toxic Avenger, which is definitely not a kids’ movie.

Of course companies wanted people to share the free demo versions but some full games did have annoying protection schemes in the '80s. Obfuscated data and purposely “bad” sectors on floppy; cardboard decoder wheels; asking for word #x from line #y of page #z of the game’s manual, or, similarly, a page of codes printed in black ink on dark maroon paper to prevent photocopying… leading to folks distributing cracked versions and the cracking tools themselves!

To be fair, it was a pretty ridiculous time. Computer club meetings just turned into floppy-copy-fests.

The company that made my TV is engaged in copyright infringement, you say? Transmitting copyrighted images over the Internet for profit?

Huh.

God can’t seem to get much done without the US Military 😬

Yeah… Bad headline; this is completely precedented.

Religious zealots can’t be allowed to have nukes. You have to at least masquerade as a well-adjusted nation while you develop the nukes and slowly massage your zealots into positions of power over a few decades. Those are the rules.

I saw one Microsoft help page in which the customer service agent recommended to cut power to the PC during the Windows 8 or 10 boot process, three times! After three failed boots, newer Windows will bring up the UEFI boot options dialog.

My Sharp PC-7000 has a Setup key on the keyboard.

Sometimes this works. Sometimes it makes the PC speaker beep for two minutes straight while it slowly makes its way through the keyboard buffer.

Tim Sweeney traveled to Saudi Arabia with Donald Trump’s entourage this past week.

No adapter is necessary, I set mine up recently.

Some WiiU NAND chips have been prematurely failing, so I recommend adding isfshax when done with the Aroma setup; it makes it easier to unbrick a console with bad NAND.

It’s lemmy.ml censoring it.

SNES. The sound chip slightly degrades, and since the CPU waits to sync with it, the overall timing of the system is affected.

That’s funny! If someone was trying to infect my PC via e-mail, I would expect them to be sending pdf files.
