Chinese Harvard student decides ‘not to learn English anymore’

Seriously, why the fsck would anyone care?! Maybe you should learn the language of the land you are visiting, or not be pissed that you have trouble communicating.

Regardless, in this case, a possible solution may be for the person to go the fsck home where everyone speaks her language and she won’t feel isolated.

Russian oil chief Maganov dies in ‘fall from hospital window’ – BBC News

Fsck with the bear…

Why on earth would anyone side with that piece of afterbirth, Putin? This sonofabitch will fsck your wife and daughter (with another man’s Richard) in front of your eyes and then toss all of you out the window.

One of the most disingenuous motherfsckers in all the world. He trusts no […]

Indian troops join Russian military exercise

While nowhere near as offensive as China’s recent global behavior, I will not simply give a pass to India’s warming to Russian actions.

India has no loyalty. It is simply not something that one should expect from them. We gave India over $200,000,000 for Covid relief. In fact, we have given India over $65,000,000,000 since […]

The Plan

The Plan

In the beginning, there was a plan, And then came the assumptions, And the assumptions were without form, And the plan without substance,

And the darkness was upon the face of the workers, And they spoke among themselves saying, “It is a crock of shit and it stinks.”

Windows Firewall Control

Recently found this application via Wilders Security forums. Windows Firewall Control is so good, Malwarebytes bought it and hired it’s creator!

Give it a good look, it is uber powerful. But be quick – Malwarebytes has promised to delete this one from the internet at some point:

Modular Snap Together Raspberry Pi Case by Sneaks

Nice case design! Everything but access to pin headers, which I think can be handled pretty easily. Ordered up all the parts, keep watching for the build.

Fatten Windows Boarders

What were the developers thinking back with WIndows 8? 1 Pixel window boarders are some kind of hell for everyone. It just goes to show how totally ignorant Microsoft developers are to real world use scenarios.

Anyway, it is possible to fix this!

ED Disfunction!

Spring cleaning on a summers day – of the digital sort. Cleaning up some steam games and I find that Elite Dangerous is using a whopping 27gb! In their defense, they tell you 20gb is required, and I’ve had the game installed forever… but still… dangerous indeed!

First take on Windows 12

So MS has gone double back on the word, which is one way forward I guess. After saying that there would never be another:

“Right now we’re releasing Windows 10, and because Windows 10 is the last version of Windows, we’re all still working on Windows 10.” That was the message from Microsoft employee Jerry […]

WinAero

So in going through the remains of Brainless from before the wipe, I ran across this site. I used their software in the past and they have some real neat offers.

Unfortunately, there may be the possibility that the developer is Russian. Consider this strongly before visiting.
