analogwalker2 said:I honestly don't think it’s particularly wise to pin all your hopes on cloud services—I mean, really, think about it! You never truly know when a provider might just pull the plug or decide to sunset a service entirely. And if that happens? Poof! Your entire archive just vanishes into thin air, lost to history. Why take that kind of risk?
Charles Ramirez5 said:So, if I’ve got 8 GB of RAM in my PC and I swap out the GPU for something like a GeForce GTX with 4 GB of its own VRAM, would I be totally wrong if I told people I have 12 GB of RAM?
Joseph Stewart38 said:I never actually claimed it was impossible, nor did I say that Rankin's statement was factual. My issue—my actual problem here—is this absolute certainty people have that something doesn't exist just because it isn't sitting on some magazine cover.
As for Sedlar, I don't know enough about that situation to weigh in—and frankly, I'm not interested in getting distracted from the main point.
Joseph Stewart38 said:Fine, it is possible that Wikipedia is citing a headline that doesn't exist, but you can't claim a statement was never made just because it isn't on some specific front page. You can say there's no proof the statement was ever uttered—but you cannot say it wasn't said simply because it’s missing from one particular edition. Besides, Wikipedia isn't the only place on Earth where a claim like that could surface.
Joseph Stewart38 said:An argument that pivots away from the actual topic to some other subject is just as flawed as saying "if one part isn't valid (the front page), then the whole thing (the entire newspaper) isn't valid either)."
Given your question, I can tell you this—what does one have to do with the other? In other words, Rankovic could have made that public claim even if the Vjesnik headline was a total fake. Likewise, his statement could be a fraud while the Vjesnik headline remains perfectly legitimate. It’s also possible both are true, or both are fakes. Bottom line: they aren't connected, and there is zero correlation here.
Joseph Stewart38 said:Medjutim, you're just spinning theories here. It’s all pure speculation—just like the debate over whether those statements were actually made or not. People love to assume something never happened simply because it didn't make the front page of the New York Times. That's not how facts work.
All things considered, I personally believe that Rankovic’s hypothetical statement isn't actually all that far from the truth. Now, I'm not claiming he ever explicitly said it—I'm not an idiot—but my take is that the very nature of that regime made those kinds of figures entirely plausible.
Joseph Stewart38 said:Look, again—this is pure speculation. Whether that statement was actually made or not, we can't know for sure, but you can't just claim it didn't happen simply because it wasn't splashed across the front page of some newspaper. If you had a legitimate argument, fine—but the logic of "it wasn't on the cover, therefore it doesn't exist" is something only a toddler would buy.

So, you think you went a little overboard with that enrollment? Maybe. It’s easy to get carried away when you're looking at the big picture, but I suppose hindsight is always twenty-twenty. Now I'm just sitting here wondering if I jumped the gun.

Of course you didn't. But honestly, that whole post of yours directed at Wanda just makes it look even more pathetic.
Look, suicides definitely happen. But my friend? She didn't pull the trigger because she's some kind of saint who loves life or herself. And it wasn't even about her other child. It just wasn't.
So you just went ahead and lashed out at this complete stranger, labeling her nothing more than a common liar who’s actively masking her true motives—not just from everyone else on this planet, but from herself, too.
Isn't "bolding" just a way of pointing fingers?
So, did her daughter only suddenly become a priority once she lost her son?
It's pretty obvious that if someone feels that way, their family won't miss them either, because if they truly mattered, they would have stayed by their side longer.
Your friend opened up to you... shouldn't you have told her daughter?
So, you didn't want to step on any "gems"?

Can I install Windows 10 on a desktop build and just activate it using the product key from the laptop?
Matthew Young35 said:It’s obvious why Windows 7 survived. If it hadn't, how would Ubuntu even function?
Anyone who has ever actually installed Ubuntu knows the drill—you have to install Windows first, then wipe the drive and install Ubuntu just to deal with drivers.
