I was recently shadowbanned with my 15 year old account. Received a “We’ve noticed some technical irregularities with your account” email back in January, and have yet to be able to get the account un-banned. Good times.

Just like they legislate vehicle size, headlight brightness, and enforce fuel economy standards?

My issue with ticketmaster is the shifting cost of a ticket. If you pre-order, you’ll spend more than the “face value” of the ticket. And if you wait 2 weeks, and can still get tickets, it’s half the face value. There is no face value if the value keeps shifting.

But then all the sudden everything went wrong on accident.

I think the challenge with Generative AI CSAM is the question of where did training data originate? There has to be some questionable data there.

22nd amendment was passed as a direct response to FDR’s four terms. But surely you knew that and are just being daft.

Neat, I had no idea. Can’t wait to pull this out on trivia night lol

Nope, this was an official, legally sold product. Came with a keyboard, mouse, 40gb HDD, and PS2 ethernet adapter. Required an 8MB memory card to function and installed via command line. It’s a pretty cool piece of history.

The tax loophole was a perceived reason, but it was never proven to be true. The closest admission to it was Sony losing a lawsuit related to the situation and Sony admitting that something related to Yabasic was intended to skirt EU tax law, not Linux for PS2. I never heard of Yabasic before today.

Fun fact, Geohot owns a company that jailbreaks cars and their adaptive cruise control systems now.

Yep. I have the original HDD (somewhere) and the ethernet adapter. For anyone interested, it’s two DVD’s.

Cool. Meaningless until codified in law but cool for now. Until the board flips again and they nullify the order again.
