Cool



the neatest tech thing i ever found at a thrift store was a metal cased thing with a bunch of strange ports on the back and some USB ports. normally i wouldnt care but i noticed the front usb port was marked "USB Sniffer", so i bought it for a dollar


anyway disappointingly it turned out to be some sort of security camera thing that would overlay data from the usb onto the video feed, so like, an access controlled door could overlay the name of the person using the access card onto the video



also i got a hauppauge hd pvr 2 for 3 dollars today at goodwill so eh

in the past you had to really want to post your story or whatever and you'd have to make a geocities site or something


now anyone can just grab their phone and post "here's why my rear end smelled like burnt turkey at my high school graduation (1/124)"

i mean its clearly something he's doing, considering its happening on multiple computers and operating systems (or yeah it's just bullshit)

im just gonna throw out a wild guess and guess that he's loving with settings and poo poo because "he knows what he's doing" and it gets all hosed up



do you actually have access to one of his hosed computers or is he just telling you this stuff

Wasn't that missing files (so it was faster to warez/download) rather than copy protection?


yeah, so they replaced the audio files with one second (or whatever) blank files to save space, and
