You may want to try and put some prompts yourself into chatGPT to see the results without making an uninformed comment based on what you perceive chatGPT will do/answer.

The difference between Tianamen and things that have happened, like the gulf war etc. is that we are allowed to discuss disparate views without being thrown in jail. And tools/toys like chatGPT are allowed to try to write an opinion on them.

Agreed, but not a “charge overnight for years” but no degradation at all.

Impossible for battery health to be at 100% after years. May still be working great, but not 100%.

Want to echo what was said here. RAID is not a backup solution. RAID is for always on capability. Do not use RAID as a way to keep valuable data safe. Just have double the drive space and keep a backup of the data on the second drive.

That makes more sense, and a bit beyond my depth as well. But this is not the sites issue at this point, just some honest questions about the online fix.
I was under the impression we needed the online fix for it to work with other legitimate players. It doesn’t make sense to have an online fix if one isn’t needed. I’ll look into that part more, but I can see it being titled ransomware if they redirect queries to another server to make them go to the legit server and bypass the legit check.
Still depends on if we needed the online fix or not from the beginning, and then the question becomes, “how did they make the online check work, and where does it redirect to?”

I see nothing in the virustotal results that I would be concerned with. The only file with issues is the online fix, which makes sense that it will find something about it, because most cracks will show some false positives. Take a look at the results and check what it says.

A lot of computers people buy from box stores are preloaded and configured to use chrome as the default for many years. Newer prebuilt a May no longer do that, but I doubt it.

And that’s fair, but in this game is just getting a black screen. So there is nothing to worry about. It’s not the Witcher series of games so you don’t need to even worry about anything.

It may be partly connected with the fact that an R rated movie can have sex in it, but video game sex has been mostly a taboo subject (GTA as an early example), even for an R rated game. So it may be an example of the movement towards sex being included in games as it is in movies. Agreed about the immersion, but depends on how you “play” your character. Depending on the game, you can avoid the interactions you don’t feel fit with your character, but not every game.

Thanks, I’m not sure how I missed their about page. I appreciate the links.

Is there any extra info about the solid option? I went to their site and thinking to see about running a server on my home brew server to try it out. But, searching for “solid” doesn’t provide much relevant results. I’m wondering questions like, Do your files/information become basically a cloud storage drive? Is there a reason to use the solid server instead of just a NAS/home brew server with wan access?
