Blog entries by KleinesSinchen
The idea for this entry is the result of PM discussion with @Nikokaro as well as some posts on his profile. Despite I absolutely love the Mother series for the unique style of humor and story telling, Paula is not a fitting avatar for me. She represents too much of the cliché female attributes...
When having to choose between physical media and modern “digital only” storefronts and streaming, my decision is easy and clear: Physical!
As so often I’m representing a small minority here. But yesterday I saw my point of view confirmed once again. I wanted to hear an audio drama for children...
Newly acquired these:
All four succeeded in dumping a legit Wii/GC disc. The model GDR-8162B is slightly faster than GDR-8163B but both types produced good ISOs with RawDump.
None of them even tried dumping Metroid Other M (dual layer) with RawDump 2.1 including an experimental function for...
Another blog entry only one day after this one?
Yesterday I posted about a nameless DVD±RW drive, thinking it was just some average old garbage writer. @Alexander1970 knew better and started searching for the thing. In fact it is an Optorite brand drive, model DD0203. I've sent Alex the model...
Completely unable to find any substantial difference in writing quality when comparing high speed and low speed burns, I'm still interested in finding devices, which allow burning CD-Rs at slow speed for a completely different reason. The "best" you can get in this regard on currently available...
Saturday - flea market day in fairground. With patience and a lot of luck this is sometimes the opportunity to get awkward things for little money.
My success was limited today. Not a total failure. Got the Blu-Ray disc of Amadeus and a PS1 game with two CDs (Platinum series). Means: I now have...
Short this time:
After direct psychological attacks going beyond any description I have to move away. Away from where I've been my whole life. Away from nature, forest, village… and to the city where I do not belong.
I'm desperate. An indescribable amount of work is ahead on top of this. There...
A little known format, pretty much a failed one, is the CD Video → [Wikipedia article]. I always wanted to have one and suddenly had the opportunity to get one.
Don't mistake CD Video with the widely known digital Video CD (MPEG-1 based) format. Everybody can still create compatible video files...
Since the blog section is more or less dead and goes unnoticed, I'll tag a few people who already knew from PM I was messing with this (without now further telling in the public why I'm doing this)
Feel free to ignore, but just in case you want to see it: @Alexander1970, @Blauhasenpopo, @Sono...
Today while walking up and down the hills at fast pace, I remembered something for no reason: How I had to deal with copy protection on extremely expensive specialized software long ago. What baffled me is that well-payed professionals fall for obvious mistakes when designing a protection...
Anti-theft tags in clothing… an induction coil in a very obvious blank tag next to the washing/drying instructions tag. I get it, shoplifting is a serious issue and has to be fought somehow. What I don't get is, what a thing, which anybody can remove with nail scissors without attracting...
Saturday I came home from the flea market with a portable DVD player I got for just 5 Euros! In the evening I showed it to @Nikokaro, who, instead of being happy with me, had nothing better to do than telling me, that I buy broken and useless stuff just because it is cheap… and I could as well...
[Continuation of [Got away] and [On the run]
Same disclaimers as last times: Writing stories in English is a huge challenge and effort for me. I’m not satisfied with it but still wanted to upload it. I guess almost nobody is gonna read it anyway.Keep in mind: THIS IS A COMPLETELY FICTIONAL...
Sometimes the English language is a bit troublesome for me. Why would one call a device, which is supposed to clean stuff with the help of underpressure, call "a vacuum cleaner"?
How would one clean a vacuum? It is already empty by definition! (Please no quantum physics and virtual particles...
"Hey Sinchen, I got new laptop. Old one is sloooooow." (new laptop is brand new machine, but older model, dirt cheap -- good deal)
"Please setup the new laptop and migrate our data."
1: *Turns on new laptop*
Outdated Windows 10 Professional starts. Microsoft account already set up. Why an MS...
![Defeating SecuROM New ≥ v4.8 with Plextor Premium [Video (2½ minutes, 13,5MB)]](/data/attachments/324/324718-cbf281b381a99dd3a5d77b59025774b6.jpg)
The spoiler contains a part of my upcoming writeup on copy protected PC CDs.
After months of searching and finally getting my hands on a Premium, without spending a fortune (the prices are insane!), I gave it a try instantly: Comparing the DPM results of a legit disc and a copy created with the...
Today I found a stupid and useless audio CD on the flea market. I didn't even care what music is on the disc. It is one of the strangely shaped CDs (heart shaped in this case). Never owned such a thing before.

The red text above the barcode roughly translates to:
Careful...
Yes, I need help. I'm sick of people ignoring that I prohibited throwing advertising papers and other junk into my mailbox.
Paying attention to a sticker that forbids doing so is mandatory. Publishers can be (and have been successfully!) sued for ignoring → Dictionary suggests "file for...
Previously politics were mostly busy dealing with pseudo-problems¹… then some real problem came for a visit and said: "Booo." in 2020. Now, in 2022, SOME REAL PROBLEMS appeared and shouted: "BOOOOOOOHOOOOOO!"
I will try to not really get political here (see footnote). I'll just present my...
![Please do *NOT* insert the original disc! [Video 2 minutes, 720p, 8MB]](/data/attachments/316/316635-ef56c0433b92df54babd1c08c107ead4.jpg)
Another blog entry that will get no interest… In any case: This time I'll not write too much, I promise.
Just wanted to share a hilarious occurrence. I encountered this absurd situation during my research and call it "Please do *NOT* insert the original disc!"
The legit CD is rejected with...
