No, it's not. They describe an abusuve household explicitly. They aren't talking just about everyone trying to cheer someone down up. They're also talking about when an entire household goes tense because the matriarch gets in a bad mood and everyone is waiting for things to explode.

Just because there is some overlap between behaviors and events with a normal household does not change the fact that they explicitly stated they are talking about an abusive one. You are willfully ignoring one of the maybe three sentences in order to have a completely different interpretation.

For some more context, because you're willfully ignoring it at this point:

This is like the difference between "I feel very sad sometimes" and "I am not capable of deriving joy from things that regularly used to bring me joy, and this lack of joy and near omnipresent sadness is impacting my ability to navigate life". One is normal, the other is depression.

People having basic awareness of the emotions of others they live with is normal. Memorizing the sound of each individual's footfalls and how they open a door so that you can instantly know who is where and who specifically is stomping around aggressively on the other side of the house so that you can prepare yourself and the space your in to minimize the incoming firestorm... that's not normal, that's survival.

Short internet post screenshots are never going to capture the full nuance of a statement and are a poor mediun for things like this, but at the very least you can choose not to ignore part of what little is there to push your own interpretation.

You could also take a quick scroll through the other comments in this thread and get a good overview of many other aspects of this and the myriad disordered behaviors that people who grow up in the type of household being described end up developing. In short, read the god damned room.

My understanding is that it's not the phone signal, but bluetooth low power mode, which is how many countries did covid exposure tracking.

So not full location triangulation, but more a hypothetical that a business or government could very easily set up bt low power beacons and identify devices that got in range like they did for covid tracking.

No. Don't fuck with the contents of system 32.

Edit: You're the guy that thought windows broke his USB functionality to force an update.

If you were fucking with the contents of system32, you broke your USB functionality (and caused the blue screen) yourself.

Those are the files that Windows uses to run. Don't fuck with them if you want Windows to keep running.

I have 5 years of experience in tech support in a Windows environment, then 5 years of system administration and engineering also in a Windows environment. Plus years of being a computer nerd before it became my career.

I think in all that time I've only ever had reason to delete files in system32 directly around 5 times. There used to be a bug with one specific log folder where it could bloat up over multiple GB, but that was fixed many years ago, and it was a well known issue.

Any other time I've made changes to system32 it has been effectively by proxy. Installing fonts, adjusting group policy settings that have further effects (normally they just adjust registry), installing and uninstalling some of the few programs that touch those folders.

In short, 999 time out of 1000, you're better off leaving system32 the fuck alone.

If you want to mess around with shit that likely to break your computer, make a VM and go nuts. Don't do it on a machine you rely on having work properly.

I would look at mod collections on nexus or wabbajack. Beyond that, there are mods that allow you to have a different start to the game than "so you're finally awake", which delay the main quest until you effectively start it yourself.

Likely Yakuza members, or people imitating the style (which is a dangerous game to play).

I'm sorry that happened to you, but that's not how any of this works. Windows doesn't break functionality in that manner to force an update. There's no need when they have all the technical access to just force the update if they cared that much.

The BSOD may have been a driver or hardware issue. Also, saying it took you 5 hours doesn't say anything about what you actually tried. sfc /scannow can take multiple hours to run, and it's entirely useless outside of some very specific instances of corruption of the OS install despite every fucking Microsoft forum suggestion telling people to start with it every single time.

Cash grab creators are cash grab creators. Shit will be shit. I would argue that AI makes it a considerable order of magnitude easier to churn out garbage, which makes it a matter of scale.

It's like fake nudes. Back in the days of film photography you could still make fake nudes by physically cutting anf pasting images together. It was considerably more work and low quality. Now you can generate much higher quality fake nudes far far faster, even faking different angles and facial expressions from the input.

That inarguably changes things.

God forbid someone who knows Linux but doesn't have video production skills or a shitty voice generate audio based on a script.

There are tons of alternative options besides using AI to generate voiceover. There's the tried and true "put text on the screen", even just by typing shit in a note taking program as you record.

There's no need to make a video at all if you don't have the skills/resources. People can make blog posts, websites, posts on forums or sites like this very one where they just type out the text and include screenshots or short video clips where necessary.

And there are plenty of people with negative levels of video production skills and bad voices still fucking doing it anyway.

There is no situation where using AI voice is actually necessary to get the information out.

Legs up to where?

Microsoft made some statements about working to close that hole, but as far as I know nothing has actually come of it. Likely just PR.

Firefox at home, IronFox on mobile, and Edge at work (not really my choice, but works fine).

Most air purifiers double as white noise machines. Helps cut down on outside noise a hell of a lot.

Tenant does such a good job with the role that I legitimately had a hard time watching him as other characters for a while after. Kilgrave is so fucking vile on so many levels, but is still a fully fleshed out awful character by the end, and Tenant absolutely nails it.
