@thomasfuchs @foone Go for obscure: UBS 3.0 mini-B!

@thomasfuchs If this was AI-upscaled, it basically redrew most of the comic, including moving the panel positions, replaced the font and added text on the booklet in the last panel.

@thomasfuchs Are you sure the right one is just an AI upscale? The artwork is quite different between both.

@whitequark Hell, I remember when CryptoLocker was new, and people were saying how helpful their service was compared to legit businesses…

@thomasfuchs Probably thanks to MPEG-LA's licensing.
Remember that the original Xbox didn't support DVD playing unless you bought a special remote – this way MS only had to pay royalties for users that explicitly wanted to watch DVDs.

@thomasfuchs Also, looking at that laptop – does that already have UEFI? HP was one of the really early adopters in their business laptops.

@thomasfuchs Which CPU does it have? I bought my first laptop (Acer TravelMate 4272WLMi) a few months before Vista release, it had a Core Duo T2300, 1 GB RAM and 100 GB HDD (and a Vista-ready sticker).

@thomasfuchs That's a big drive for an XP-era laptop :)

@thomasfuchs Why not Turbo then? :)

@thomasfuchs It works if you use a 3rd party interface (https://phanpy.social/ works, though it apparently can't do replies and quotes at the same time).

@elduvelle @catsalad Found a slightly nicer version:

@fmarini @thomasfuchs Yeah, even Windows 10 Start Menu was noticeably slower to open than 3rd party alternatives, and 11 made it way worse (lost count how many times I've seen it open only to show a version number in the corner, but no content for 5-10 seconds).

@whitequark @natkr Reminds me of buying codesigning certificates from Globalsign and Comodo. Both ignored the government-issued ids (including a certificate issued by the state CA), and instead required me to provide a bank statement and some bills in my name (for Comodo I even had to have them notarised); as all of my statements and bills have been digital for close to two decades (and digital bills were not considered trustworthy, despite having a digital signature), I simply printed them on a colour laser printer, then photocopied them and notarised the copy.

@thomasfuchs That's supposed to be implemented in the future.

@thomasfuchs It works the other way around, too – click quote, find the post you want to reply to and click Reply.

@thomasfuchs Are you trying to create a loop?

@thomasfuchs I never used classic MacOS, was this a built-in function?

@thomasfuchs @foone Given the capital K, I'd say it's 77950 bytes.

@SwiftOnSecurity

@pq1r @ryanc This. And recent laptops usually don't mind if you replace the WiFi card any more (for a while you'd need BIOS hacks to allow booting after replacing WiFi card).
