It may be inherently flawed, but we can't just arbitrarily emit wavelengths of light with current technology. Realistically I doubt we ever could, we would need to alter the emission energies of materials on the fly, which would be akin to actual magic. It is frankly amazing it works as well as it does notwithstanding.

The problem with this is primarily that windows uses NTFS as it's filesystem. Being proprietary, NTFS has never played well with Linux and installing it to an NTFS partition is regarded as a genuinely terrible idea. Converting partitions safely is nearly impossible to do in place.

The ancient Romans made it a point to not buy slaves from the asbestos mines due to their poor health, it has been known for far too long that asbestos is harmful. It also happens to be insanely useful.

You don't need a modchip to get a HDD to work, you can flash the drive with FreeHDBoot and just plug it in to the PS2.

Guam Dynamo? I know it had a really ritzy sounding name

Oooo, this one actually happened to me. Head on collision with a barrier at 80mph, fell asleep at the wheel after getting out of a 27 day stint in the ICU. Dare To Be Stupid by Weird Al was playing when i collided.

Sounds like a disorder relating to MPD, but it could be any number of things. My advice is to be supportive as much as you can be, when ones own mind is the issue it just feels impossible to deal with.

Not all disorders are ones that will affect work in "predictable" ways, everyone is different. They might just like practicing dialects and not have particularly strong social and coping skills.

As difficult as it can be to interact with people like that, keep in mind their perspective: it might feel like everyone wants to alienate them which makes it difficult to interact without that assumption tainting the experience.

I work in a grocery store, and while I would still need to be in about 25-30 hours a week to ensure product is on the shelves a massive amount of my time at work is useless facing and looking busy after the first few hours of real work restocking. If I was paid fairly I could come in for about 3 hours every day and have everything that needed done done without spinning on a thumb all day just to barely make rent.

Oh, Intel had 64 bit CPUs in the consumer market as far back as Pentium 4. Prescott, released in 2004, was a 64 bit architecture.

My most arcane pieces of code (abusing null references to make the garbage collector handle object deletion kind of cursed) are usually posted publicly somewhere... If it works and all that.

CGNAT uses RFC 6598 and a particular type of NAT, not all are created equal. Port forwarded public address space doesn't mean you aren't sharing the address, just that you can bind one of the ports in the space and expect that traffic to reach you. Thats what most ISPs do, if your server is being a router at home you are going through a minimum of a single NAT layer, usually 2. That's literally what port forwarding is, forwarding traffic from one address and port to another on a different subnet (or a different machine on the same subnet. You see this often with separate DNS and DHCP servers in enterprise networks.) CGNAT specifically messes with port forwarding because it assigns traffic somewhat arbitrarily and the user has no control of the routing. That's why you have to use reverse connections to get around them: you can establish an outgoing connection then use it to serve data, you just don't have a public address that can be guaranteed to point to your machine.

Not all NAT is CGNAT, and not all NAT disallows incoming connections. I don't understand how everyone thinks it's reasonable to assume that A. your whole network has been compromised or B. that it would benefit the attacker in any way to use your connection to download movies. They use a crap modem, that's why it crashes often, and using IKWYD without knowing how DHT and IPv4 addressing works is just causing paranoia through ignorance.

Not necessarily the same thing, it could easily be a small leased block using NAT to offer service to more customers in that case. The reseller has a commercial account, yes, but that doesn't mean you get exclusive access to an address in that block (very unlikely unless you are dropping big money.) Nothing you have said so far rules out being behind a NAT.
