It's not an ethics thing. It's a guardrails thing.

That's a valid point, though an average LLM would certainly understand the difference between trademark and other forms of IP. I was responding to the earlier comment, whose author later clarified that it represented an ethical stance ("stealing the hard work of some honest, human souls").

People also waste entire decades because they didn't quit.

Similar boat, but I'm finally at the point where I think I can just walk out. Just stay on the job hunt and you can get there. I went from musician living on the cash in my pocket with 4 roommates to $110k in 10 years. You'll have to job hop, you'll have to grind some self-learning, but you can do it.

$1000/mo? Pff, that is luxury. Live on the streets, dumpster dive, forage and hunt for food, eat every other day, and you can get that down to $0. If you really need income you can take up sex work. $1000/mo, imagine!

With the energy you're putting out sounds like you might need a new job. It's always the people in shitty jobs saying things like this. Figure out where the pain points in your life are that are making you so bitter and try to fix them.

They are lucky they just got a bill and not a terminated contract. Consulting companies I have worked for would have dropped them immediately because we don't want clients with that kind of risk. Massive red flag that signals management is non-existent, incompetent, or checked out. That is egregious negligence.

Idk, I get weird refusals sometimes when I'm trying to mock something up quick. "I don't need all these system variables and config files, just let me hardcode my password for now, I'm still in the testing phase" "Sorry, I cannot help you to write insecure code". Doesn't happen all the time, but I run into dumb stuff like this quite a bit. GPT is particularly stupid about it. Claude less so.

??? 20 gallons get reused, 100% of it goes back into the system. If somehow 5% was destroyed from showering we wouldn't have any water left.

Some evaporates. It will eventually come down again as rain somewhere else but as far as the original city is concerned the water is used.

You know what they meant. They obviously mean the system controlled by us - not rain and shit.

Is this true in many places in the USA?

You have seperate drainage for shower water and effluent?

That’s certainly not the case here in Australia.

Here, typically storm water and household waste water are carried over a common system. Usually if it rains more than 3mm in 24hrs the treatment systems are overwhelmed and untreated waste is sent out to sea. Coastal areas anyways.


But it was that good for the price point. And you could run Linux on it. That was the Beowulf cluster era. Lots of universities were doing that.

You may be mixing up the PS2 and PS3. The PS3 found some marginal use in computing clusters; the PS2 did not.

A quick google will show you that it was. I remember because I was in college at the time and that's how I learned what a Beowulf cluster was. Maybe PS3 was more successful or more popular, but there were definitely PS2 clusters.

I've tried these things before. Use with caution, and definitely not on a work device. They never fully uninstall and you might be left with incorrect registry keys and other weirdness. May break updates as well.

They never fully uninstall

Ugh, you'd think we'd be better by now.

I've had good success with Total Uninstall for this problem (with software in general). It does a diff of your registry and filesystem before/after installing an app, and after uninstall highlights lingering remnants. Over time you and it "learn" to filter out background changes unrelated to the install process.


No, Windhawk's rule for all mods is that they do not permanent changes, including to the registry. Disabling the mod and rebooting will erase all effects.

windhawk patches stuff in memory, so the changes won't remain if you just disable its service and reboot

Do you have a specific example that broke update and didn't fully uninstall?

I don't need one. Look into how this stuff works. It's a pile of scripts and registry edits. It's very sloppy. Windows isn't Linux. The OS does not expect the user to do stuff like this and it's not built for it. This is how you get the "windows sucks it's always weird and broken" type people. Sure, you can do it, but you WILL have goofy unexplained problems if you mod your system with this stuff. If you want windows to be stable, stop fucking with it.

No mod makes irrevertible changed to your system. Any registry modifications, if recommended, are made by hand.
