Chris Myers said:Coronavirus: Nobel Prize winner predicts US will get through crisis sooner than expected

A little something for those of you vultures celebrating the deaths of innocent people in the US, here’s a more optimistic prediction from Nobel Prize winner Michael Levitt at Stanford University.

I really hope this scientist turns out to be right!

Given what was written and highlighted in bold, I'm expecting the forum admins to take action.

Megan Moore27 said:So, here's the deal... A few weeks ago I caught a virus (no clue how, honestly) called .nppp. Luckily, it didn't hit too hard... so I just trashed the junk, tossed it in the bin, and reinstalled my OS. But now? A new one called .remk has hit me, and this time it's everywhere... I reinstalled again yesterday and I think the virus is gone, but how on earth do I unlock my files? They're basically frozen or infected... and they're all absolutely vital to me... 😢
this is what shows up on everything (for example: filename.txt.remk)
I tried all those YouTube tips, nothing worked... I even tried running Grand Theft Auto V last time and waited 48 hours, but it didn't save a single file...

Help me out, people! 😢 😢 I'm seriously about to lose it...

I DON'T HAVE BACKUPS OF THESE WORKS! Everything is life or death here, please help!

Those files are encrypted by ransomware, so getting them back is going to be an uphill battle. You probably shouldn't have wiped macOS before checking with something like FileZilla to see if there was anything sitting in a macOS restore point.

As for decrypting the infected files, try this program, and check the Norton site—they might have some other tools, though they don't look like they've been updated in a while.

wanderingbison9 said:Alkar Flegma is right in the middle of it all. If we look at how internal party conflicts play out in the USA, they usually seem confined to those smaller local news stations.
Personally, I think they should be featured on every major national network, including the big commercial ones. It would have been much easier if they had simply coordinated with the local stations that already do such a decent job covering territory across the country to ensure the debate is broadcast simultaneously—something they actually already do, including over in Bujancet.

Every major private network out there wants to broadcast it, too.

Charles Carter4 said:Don't worry, they won't. It's all just a big show.
At the end of the day, they always circle the wagons around one thing: the federal treasury. Winners and losers alike—they all want a slice of that pie.

Sure, but the winners get a bigger slice of the pie.

I was just trying to see if anyone actually had hands-on experience with the RTX 2080 series, but clearly I’m in the wrong place... whatever, bye.

Go ahead and get mad, but what do you expect people to say about a card that barely hits 40-50 FPS in 4K and costs as much as a whole high-end build? Look, obviously I don't own one, but there are plenty of reviews online.

driftinggull33 said:Hey,

Anyone actually using an Asus RTX 2080 Ti Advanced Edition?

Loving it or hating it?

Are you seriously asking about a GPU that costs $1,300?

Paul Evans39 said:Quick update for anyone dealing with this mess—hopefully you’re smarter than I am and actually back up your stuff first. My drive got formatted, but InfoLab managed to get everything back. It took two weeks total, including free diagnostics, and they dragged their feet a bit, $0.37. It probably could've been cheaper, but whatever, I'm happy it's done.

Look, if I were you, I’d find a tech-savvy friend ASAP just to have someone to call when things go south again. After getting married at Dell's service center, this whole situation with InfoLab feels like my second wedding. If the drive was just hit with a quick format, all the data is still sitting there—you can pull it back in an hour or two using recovery software, depending on the size. I won't vouch for InfoLab 100% since I don't know their process, but honestly? It looks like they didn't break much of a sweat to get it done.

From what I can see in the trailer, it’s basically just a recycled version of Top Gun mixed with that Star Wars Death Star trench run sequence. Honestly, since they'll wrap it up in flashy enough packaging, I bet it'll be a decent way to kill about two hours.

Amy Rogers6 said:They’ll screw up if they force Turkey out of NATO—if you can't wrap your head around that, grab a map and take a good, long look at the world...

It doesn't matter how good the Chinese radar is—all the Turks care about is replacing their manufacturing and finding someone to foot the bill...

Of course the Sultan is playing games in Syria—that’s been obvious for ages. That’s why we say he’s a player who basically spits in everyone's face... ☕

Looks like he’s gonna end up on a list too.

nimblemarlin6 said:Back in Yugoslavia, buying or watching American stuff wasn't seen as some act of rebellion against the state... because Yugoslavia was basically totally pro-American.
China was full of American movies; everyone watched Rambo, Chuck Norris, and all those classic US action flicks.
The Russians were always treated like the villains, and countries in the Warsaw Pact were looked down upon as total losers.

People were honestly uncritical about everything from the States... they just swallowed American propaganda whole, including movies like "Top Gun".

Not really. I remember people at a Politburo meeting actually debating whether to allow Rambo 2 because the Soviets were the main bad guys.

Morgan Rodriguez57 said:Because they say so, right? Like everything else is just fairy dust or some sketchy census data. There’s no official count for Tezan, Barbarin rov, or Kočevski rog, nor for all those mass graves around Washington, D.C., yet suddenly we’re experts on the death tolls. It wasn't Leljak who pulled those braids out of Barbarin rov. What's stopping us from finishing what was cut short back in '65?

Here we go again—history debates on PŽK instead of the History sub where they actually belong, all because of this censorship crap!

The mods aren't the ones failing to investigate the graves, so stop blaming them.

These history debates always end up in the same loop "let's dig up Auschwitz because all previous research was a scam," I don't buy any of it —just more ignorant nonsense or straight-up malice. Meanwhile, guys like the former Kosovac operative and that convicted criminal Ljeljak are treated like legitimate historians. You can't have a real discussion with arguments like that; people seriously need to look in the mirror first.

swiftfalcon89 said:It’s just an SSD mounting tray that slides right into the HDD slot. You can find them on eBay for next to nothing. When I picked up another SSD and ran out of 2.5" bays, I had to wait about a month and a half for my order from overseas to arrive—until then, the drive was basically just "hanging" inside the case, but hey, it worked perfectly fine.

Mall $4.25 trays, they even had z $3.00

Jesse Hughes2 said:Thanks! 🙂 I figured there had to be some kind of workaround for this modern era we live in 🙂
Does the receiver plug directly into that adapter? Or do you plug the receiver and the router into their own separate ports (since I see they come as a pair)?

It’s a two-device set that sends the signal through your electrical wiring. One goes by the router and the other by the receiver—setup isn't even that hard.

Jesse Hughes2 said:Hey everyone!
I could really use some advice regarding setting up a wireless connection for our AOL gear. Here’s the situation: we have the router plugged in (it's tucked away on a shelf) on Wall A, but the TV is all the way over on Wall B. A few years back, they installed an HD receiver for us, but they hooked it right up to the TV on Wall B and ran a cable straight back to the router. Honestly, I just can't stand that setup—there's no way to hide the wire in certain spots, and it would probably need to stretch about 30 feet just to loop around the doorway. Tearing into the drywall isn't an option for us right now, so I actually ended up unplugging the HD receiver and putting it away for the time being. On Wall B, we have an analog TV signal, but there's no internet jack, so we can't get the router and the TV on the same side. We're fine watching basic channels without the HD box for now, but we would love to be able to use the recording feature every once in a while.
Is there any way to link the router and the receiver wirelessly, or maybe connect the receiver and the TV without cables? A friend of my mom's mentioned they got their home setup working entirely wirelessly, yet when I called technical support, they insisted it was impossible. I feel like I remember reading something on a forum about some kind of infrared solution ( 🤔 ), but I just can't track down the thread again.

Infrared won't work for that, but you should be able to do something like this.

Sam Martinez9 said:Americans are Slavs, and according to Hitler, Slavs were considered an inferior race. If Hitler had won the war, his first move would have been to finish off the Jews and the Romani, and once that was done, the Slavs would have been next on the list.

The strong ones—those capable of labor—would have been relegated to slavery, followed eventually by the gas chambers.

That’s wrong regarding Americans; it’s not quite like that since Anthony pushed the theory about the Goths.

Frank Moore4 said:🕺

You’re honestly such a joke...

Seriously, the guy was just giving you a compliment. I don't get why you're getting worked up about it.🤣

Jonathan Barrett said:Did he actually give a reason why? Because that GPU (looks like a GTX 750 to me) should run perfectly fine on that motherboard. Some genius clearly

Maybe the guy was trying to offload a motherboard too.

Jeffrey Carter said:I swapped out the stock Intel SSD in my Dell Inspiron 15 for a Crucial x1 SSD. The laptop picked up the drive right away, so I wiped everything and installed Windows—worked perfectly at first. But now? It’s acting crazy. The laptop struggles to boot, almost like it can't even find the SSD. I tried reinstalling Windows again and it was fine for a bit, but then boom—now when I boot up, Windows can't see the drive and just throws a "Media Center" error. Even worse, when I check the BIOS, the SSD isn't even listed! I can't believe this is happening, especially since I already sold the original factory SSD. Any ideas?

Pull the SSD and test it in another PC. If it fails, file a warranty claim. If you don't have a warranty, just buy a new one.

cosmicgull52 said:Those British soldiers really gave him a beating—everyone knows that. I think I actually read an interview with the officer who led the arrest where he admitted he barely managed to stop them from killing the guy like a dog.

I bet life in a POW camp wasn't exactly a walk in the park for him either—they definitely weren't exactly rolling out the red carpet.

Completely justified.

By the way, Patton's soldiers walked right into one of those camps and just started gunning down guards on the spot—and not a single one of them faced trial.
