The funny thing about that is that I am currently on my laptop getting keepassxc set up. This post has somehow motivated me to finally get a password manager.

The 20 character length limit is so annoying because I once had 2 distinct passwords (not in use anymore) that were both coincidentally 21 characters long. Character limiting me by a single character at the end of those old passwords was annoying because I usually ended up, for some services I needed, having to change up and use a completely new password. Back when I was a lot worse about reusing passwords than now.

We're all guilty of it. No shame in admitting it. I know I've been guilty of it from time to time.

I see "Emperor Hong" and my mind goes to a clip of the South African government.

The one where a guy withdraws a statement and soon after proceeds to go hong hong hong multiple times throughout someone else trying to speak to insult that person.

Can't find the original clip, but there are other clips. Just search south Africa hong hong hong.

Hilarious how these people believe their invisible mythological status living in the sky God would smite the people they think are evil. I haven't been to church in a while, but last time I checked God isn't a hitman you can call on anytime you want. Nor do I think he'd be happy with these people wishing death upon people who are supposedly beyond evil, let alone anyone regardless of whether they're evil or not.

The extras on a DVD are the thing I absolutely love about DVDs. All my favorites have some amazing extras.

Fair enough. It's mostly 3rd person 3D, but the view isn't always great, making for some frustration. There are, if I remember correctly, a couple 2D levels where you play as the army bird guy, but otherwise, it's 3D.

I personally enjoyed Spyro²: Season of Flame.

One of the biggest problems I will say about the game, though, is that you won't always be able to tell where you'll land when gliding and will probably lose plenty of lives because of it.

If you mean hearing, then probably as a kid considering I used to get a lot of ear infections. Pretty sure it might have helped last time as well because of the inside being cleared of things blocking sound.

As for healing, it must have been doing something helpful as a kid considering I think I had something like 2-3 sets put in to help with fluid/whatever drainage. And I assume it helped last time considering they found out I needed another one when I went in for an ear infection.

So, how would MX be under the "How do you do, fellow kids?" one? It's completely flying over my head.

One thing I will say about tubes in the ear is that when done right, the procedure for getting them in is pretty painless. Had tubes throughout most of my early childhood, so I don't really remember them, but I did have to get a tube put in within the last 5 or so years. Worst part was the slight burning sensation of the stuff they put in to ensure it wouldn't hurt. Otherwise, no pain whatsoever.

If police ever start strip searching children, we'll probably never know if they misuse this power for a while. If anything it'll take a miracle because I can guarantee any parent that tries to speak out about this would probably be silenced by a knock on their down from their "friendly" neighborhood police officer to ensure the word doesn't get out.

 

Mostly asking because I've never used these before due to never needing to. That, and I have a few old disc based PC games that I'd love to be able to straight up boot without the game disc. These are games I could just pirate, but I figure I already own them in disc, so I'd rather see if there are any reputable places with no-disc patches. The places I've looked in the megathread don't have what I'm looking for.

Closest they have is either a link to the game on another platform in the case of My Abandonware due to it being sold, or a link to just straight up pirate the full thing in the case of Magipack Games. I've also done some digging on the Internet Archive but have yet to yield results (probably because I suck at finding things there). Still gonna keep looking there, but any helpful info would be much appreciated.

I don't think I can share the game names, even in DM, due to the rules here, so site mainpages are my best shot.

 
 

I've never ripped CDs or DVDs before for any reason and am curious how this works since I have some stuff I wanna see about backing up but am nervous about ruining the disc. I've tried looking this up, but every time I do, I obviously am searching for the wrong thing because I have never found the info I'm looking for.

 

Linux noob. Just got a pair of Skull Candy Push Active XT bluetooth earbuds. They pair just fine with my setup but no sound comes through them. I found many different posts on various forums and nothing helped.

Using the inxi command I pulled some info I think might help, if it's needed. (I don't know if any of this is needed to help fix this issue. I've only been using MX for a little over a week and have never really done a lot of under the hood Linux maintenance before, but am more than willing to learn to fix this issue). If there is sny other information needed, I'm willing to edit this with any of that information, if I can find it.

Got a copy of Borderlands (EU iso) from the r/ROMS megathread and found out there is securom verification (which I have absolutely no experience with) as part of the installation process.

Closest I have found to a solution to bypass so far after some brief searching was one "Generic Securom 7/8 by Virusek" off of the "LOSTFILESARCHIVE" github page, which leads to a 404 page (even on the wayback machine).

Are there any programs or patches you would recommend to bypass this god awful drm?
