it’s officially dead

The reality is, in the next 10 or 20 years, Russia won't even be a relevant trade partner anymore. They won't show up on sports fields, in music, or in movies... they just won't exist.

Over these last four months, one thing has become crystal clear: we aren't going to see Russians anywhere for a long time. Whether it's the European Championships, the World Cup, or even just avoiding those Russian cheaters in online gaming, they’re basically being pushed to the fringes. It's a shame, really, because the Russian people have been so thoroughly brainwashed that they actually back all of this—kind of like how people were in the North America back in the 90s, except back then we didn't even have the internet to see what was happening.

The "less secure apps" option is gone; it’s just app passwords now. I just wonder if that'll actually work on this ancient version of Outlook

An SSD works perfectly fine on Windows 2000 without any issues at all.

Honestly, the US should have absolutely crushed Italy

Bonucci and Chiellini

It’s a given, but we're looking at the championship of championships here. Or, if you want it in plain English, some absolute masterpiece

Alexander Diaz4 said:This is exactly my favorite way to deal with "problems"—solutions just fly out of people's mouths left and right, yet here we are, still hunting for an actual fix five days later. 🍿🍿🍿

It’s like when some guy hits you up on WhatsApp with this, claiming it’s been broken for an hour and expecting me to somehow fix it remotely over the phone...

That’s like having my check engine light pop up, snapping a photo, texting it to my mechanic, and honestly expecting him to diagnose the whole damn engine based on one blurry picture... 😵

Exactly. If I could actually get a clear picture of 😁what happened and why, maybe we'd get somewhere. How am I supposed to guess? Did an update brick everything, did the drive die, or is it a loose connector?

Just grab some cheap-ass power supply for testing purposes, you know? Something low-stakes where you don't have to worry about blowing anything up. If the same thing keeps happening, then the motherboard is definitely toast.

I’m not even sure if you can find a mechanical keyboard with an American layout actually engraved on it—I mean, they exist, but they're incredibly hard to come by.

If it works fine without drivers but dies once you install them, your GPU is toast. There's no way bad drivers could cause that, especially if Windows just pulls them automatically.

You can't really trust these programs to tell you if an SSD is dying the same way they do with an HDD.
I’ve seen it happen firsthand: the drive shows 100% health, everything looks perfect, BUT you can't actually write anything to it. You delete a file, reboot, and poof—it's all back. Or you try installing Windows, wipe the partitions, let the installation finish, restart, and BAM, it's like you never even touched it 😁 everything is exactly how it was before. And the best part? It'll happily report that it's installing everything just fine.

You can install FreeDOS on modern motherboards and SSDs without any issues at all.

So, did you actually run fdisk?

Movies like Goodfellas are stuff you could watch a thousand times and still be sitting there waiting for the rerun. Sure, maybe just the first three, but those are absolute classics.

It’s such a shame whenever someone gets sick. I honestly feel bad even for Jack Nicholson, and I despise that guy from the bottom of my heart.

People will find a way to make it work; we'll survive even without gas and oil

Kenneth Cruz67 said:From what I can gather, Putin doesn't let anyone get within ten feet of him. I actually watched that stadium performance and spent some time comparing the guy giving the speech to various photos of Putin, and I swear, I'm almost certain that whoever was standing there on that field was some kind of body double rather than the actual Putin himself.

There is zero chance that was Putin. Look, I’m not really into conspiracy theories, but there are just way too many people around for him to take that risk. He stays tucked away in his bunker where nobody gets close.

Arthur Booth96 said:They go around asking people in Russia if they actually feel the impact of the sanctions, and then they decide to poll high schoolers, where everyone just says, "No, we don't." But when you talk to the people who are actually out there working and paying the bills, they say things are looking a bit different... I guess you have to wonder what kind of sample size you're getting when you ask a majority of kids who aren't even in the workforce yet if they're feeling the squeeze of an economic crisis 🤦

Still, it’s a win that the younger generation is against the aggression and special ops—it's mostly just the old guard supporting it. There might be some hope after all...
And let's be real, these kids want McDonald's, Apple, Google, Facebook, all the modern tech, goods, and cosmetics. This idea that Russians are somehow tougher than Westerners is a total myth; they crave the modern lifestyle just as much. They'll break eventually.

Ronald Chavez2 said:And that isn't even the worst part. If we’re being honest, their biggest crime is simply not being pro-American or acting as reliable customers for U.S. military hardware, much like Saudi Arabia—an outfit whose blatant primitivism somehow never triggers concern from the same people who are constantly losing sleep over Ukraine, Georgia, Uyghurs, Tibet, or Taiwan. Not to mention the way they conveniently ignore what happens in Yemen.

and the Russians are out there doing the exact same thing in Syria.
