Feel like more context would be required tbh. Like if you are contacting support by email you are giving them your email address and they kinda need it to reply to you.

Why? I have an nvidia card and haven’t noticed any major issues. It hasn’t even bricked the system on a driver update in years now.

Surely you learn an area pretty quickly. Worst case you may ask what major road something is near and you would know that and then can quickly look at the map to find the small road. Like I say my street name and if someone asks where about is that I give them the name of the major road next to it.

Every live OS I have ever run can see physical drives if they exist, sounds very odd to not be able to see it from there and yet grub loads.

If grub loads can you boot a recovery image from there? Are you sure grub isn’t installed anywhere else too

If they don’t see the drive at all it’s fucked. If they see the drive but not partition I normally use testdisk to try and recover the partitions, photorec to look for files if that doesn’t work and it’s not encrypted.

If it isn’t visible at all then you are looking at drive repair, if you are asking this question that probably isn’t something to attempt. Try another set of cables and port just in case that is the issue though.

TIL Sid Meier’s Pirates was released on Wii.

Aren’t old games pretty small though? It’s new ones that you may need a huge volume to store many of them. Depends how much we are talking of course. 2TB or 50TB?

Well let’s start with how much you need.

Then we can all cry. Currently looking at replacing HDDs with SSDs and significantly cutting down on my data storage requirements - basically uninstalling all those games I haven’t played in a long time and probably won’t. Plus it’s easier to avoid getting sucked into playing ESO and wasting money on it if it’s behind a 100+ GB download. Majority of games I actually play are under 5GB so I could go pretty heavy. Couple second hand 512GB SSDs perhaps? Under £100…

After walking through CEX on the weekend I don’t know if you will beat second hand laptop pricing. The significantly higher availability of laptops seems to make them prices that just can’t be beaten.

Unless you can get away running a pi zero of course. Sorta tempted to get one but not sure how much I could get it to do. Would do data storage just fine, depending on how much space you need.

Cyberbully the clanker until it uninstalls it’s self

Tell* it to fuck off

Time to do some crime. Let’s go to a remote location. Turns router on, does crimes, turns it off. Goes home.

So it’s easy to find me living at home doing nothing, and hard to track a determined criminal who would just move it when doing crimes?

I can pay for internet in cash and the only details I gave them are fake and a random username. 4G internet isn’t even tied to the same location as I can move freely.

As I’m not bothered about doing cybercrimes I don’t bother doing that much about security though.

Let them waste their time investigating, actually how do they even know your address?

Running an exit node is perfectly legal though. There would be no evidence you have done anything wrong very quickly.

First scenario is no different to running a TOR exit node. The second is why it needs to be built securely, which can be done though probably isn’t in these cases.

Wouldn’t even mind the option to let someone else use my connection a bit for a free VPN tbh, that is no worse than running a TOR node. What I dislike is the dishonesty side of it. Be open and honest then it’s all good.

Everyone in my houses is using it, but I am the only one who knows they are all using it.

Now wondering if there are alternatives that are similar to Gutenberg but for countries with more relaxed public domain laws. Like Orwell is public domain in the UK but not the US and Gutenberg doesn’t have it.
