I wonder if car companies will come up with anti homeless features.

I could see the current tattletale cellular modem arrangement extended to serve the fascist Western governments, the cars already feed heaps of driving data to insurance companies. Not a big leap for the manufacturers to be coerced (if not already wholly cooperative) into having literally all car data sent to a police datacenter network with some AI overlord looking for patterns of homeless behaviors, sending (initially) unarmed drones to harass the ‘offenders’ and maybe call armed thugs to the scene.

It’s easily possible to turn most cars against their owners these days. There are microphones inside for the Bluetooth phone stuff, temperature sensors inside and out, seat weight sensors for the airbag and seatbelt warning subsystems; many can already be remotely manipulated in various ways through the cellular network, including being shut down, doors locked and wireless keys invalidated, etc. in addition to being trackable 24/7 by GPS and that fucking Flock camera network.

I want to live again in the world where Enemy of the State was merely a dark thriller movie and not literally real life.

My account got this too, fucking infuriating. The email method didn’t work for me either. I was one click away from rage deleting my entire google account without setting up and transferring control elsewhere, so fed up with literally everything year after year.

Anyway, I discovered the “take a selfie” method was run by an incompetent or lazy third party service which I fooled with a random, AI-generated face pic found on image search. It would only accept input from a camera, so I logged in on my phone’s browser, then kept that face pic I found fullscreened on my desktop monitor while angling the phone’s front camera to make a detectable match (a ring around the selfie area would turn green). Was awkward and took a few tries but it worked and restored full account access without further harassment.

He explains the whole situation in clear easily understood terms, a tech industry newsread divided into subjects/chapters in the usual style of Gamers Nexus. I don’t recall hearing any anti-China rhetoric ever from Steve and I’ve watched hundreds of GN videos. China is mentioned frequently in matter-of-fact ways as part of whatever is being explained.

He fucking hates what’s happening now and the reasons behind it.

I’m suspecting the same. This 230 thing, the massive surge in datacenter construction of the last few years, the memory and storage disruption which is just beginning and growing (and already expected to have bad long-term effects on all personal computing devices), the sweeping i.d. verification bullshit around the world and in many U.S. states now, the unilateral and unaccountable influence that demons like Thiel and Yarvin seem to have on politics.

It all feels like a complex, orchestrated push toward total individual surveillance and removal of personal (thus private) computing device ownership and open communications.

Add the “Home Alone” movies and popular sitcom “Friends” to the list, the latter was even featured or mentioned in a video I saw on YouTube once on this exact subject. I remember watching these shows and others mentioned in this topic when younger while being raised in a single-parent apartment with a barely functional beater car, wondering when our telephone or electric service would be cut off next from overdue bills, or when we’d have to call the local food bank for emergency supplies again.

The Jason Bateman knock-off and whoever that other one is on #4, mostly because I don’t recognize either of them and I’ll roll the dice on it whereas I know all the other neo-nazi cockroaches.

Not guaranteed, no. It depends solely on whether the torrent in question is monitored by a copyright troll firm, in which case they’ll catch your IP in their regular sweeps and fire off automated complaint letters to the ISP, who then forward it on to you. The ISP itself doesn’t monitor your traffic in that way.

Not all torrents are watched by these firms, not even close, and ISPs often forward the complaints along without taking any action against the subscriber. Some ISPs, however, were successfully sued by the copyright mafia over not doing enough to “fight piracy” or whatever, and now will cut you off the internet entirely and close your account after some stupidly low number of complaints.

Leftist terror cells, lmfao. Like 99% of terrorism worldwide, but especially in the U.S., is and has been caused by right-wing pieces of shit and their fucking little nihilistic toddler-brained psychoses. But go off king, enjoy wasting time and resources chasing hallucinations, I guess.

Try straightening the pins on the 1500X like another user already suggested. I’ve used a pocket knife blade between and outside CPU pins to get them aligned enough that they dropped back in with a slight push, and the lock-in action straightened them further. If no pins are broken off or bent too severely and the socket contacts weren’t damaged, it should start up again.

That board has dual firmware feature, so if/when you get to the Q-Flash screen, make sure to check “also flash to backup slot” or you may have this problem again in the future if the boot slot ever gets toggled somehow.

To respond to your other question, no, it won’t get firmware updates through Windows Update. That generally only happens with branded prebuilt systems like Dell, HP, etc. and laptops. You can and should get the latest firmware and drivers direct from Gigabyte’s support page for your model, just as you are now. The firmware update image can be read by Q-Flash from a USB stick or any internal or external non-encrypted hard drive partition.

I’ll remember that, wasn’t aware as I haven’t followed their videos for quite a while (not for any particular reason, I always found their opinions agreeable especially on the topic of work/jobs).

It was on Twitter I think, can’t recall the date exactly but maybe 2019? Feels like I first saw it showcased on the CTH subreddit. He stated that he supported the idea of DPRK being bombed again because he believes they’re some grave threat to the world, or something equally fucking stupid. If it’s not still in his Twitter post history, archive.org or a user here would possibly have a screencap.

He spoke some big brave redditor words in a brief rant against DPRK or China or similar in one of his past videos but I don’t remember which one. It reminded me of hbomberguy’s outburst from a few years ago. ThoughtSlime also stated that he’s anarchist in one or more of his videos, so it’s a safe bet between that and the rant that he’s anti-AES and anti-anything-else associated with it.
