Alliteration? Man, I really suck at titles.
A lot of GBAtemp members are using a stupid banner from www.pcgamebenchmark.com as signature to show a percentage of playable current PC games on their system. → ???
Oh come on! What's the point in bragging with having spent 3000€ on a PC? I would...
It has been a long time since I posted tiny rants about things I classify as anti-features in my profile. The last one was on 6th December in year 2022. I stopped using profile messages for various reasons and this isolated episode wouldn’t fit there anyway. It needs way more room than a series...
I'm now living in a fairly big city, but not likely a primary target city. In the very possible event of nuclear war, I'll probably be among those crawling blinded through the remnants of human works feeling my body slowly disintegrating.
Not nice. I envy those within the blast radius of a...
Another of my random memories that pop up randomly. This time more than two decades ago.
When I was 15 years (almost 16) old I fell in love. This felt awful: Desire to be with somebody. Desire to be loved myself.
There was not the slightest chance that my love would be reciprocated. Nobody...

Yes, blogs here go more or less unnoticed, but this really does not belong into a thread (personal story).
But I would be happy to get some comments on this. Do you agree on general the problem below? Do you have similar stories? Totally disagree and think I'm insane?

![UPS Failed [1.3MB pictures]](/data/attachments/405/405076-4ae100b7d3fa7be37b8868c1f4720e04.jpg)
Like so much of my stuff lately my UPS failed a few days ago. A battery test was planned for the next week, but one evening it would not turn on anymore. Red Fault LED on. Nothing more.
This didn't come as a big surprise. Like much of my equipment this UPS was old -- roughly 20 years. Ten...
"Thank you!" for @Alexander1970 and @Blauhasenpopo for their patience in previous profile messages about this.
Pinging @IC_ … because you gave some "👍" in profiles and finally
Pinging @Nikokaro … because I won't give up trying to convince you in creating proper backup (or just any backup for...
This will probably become too long again. Trying my best to keep it short.
Since 2014 I have been living with my mum in a house that belong my father for rent. I’ve invested several hundred, if not several thousand work hours into repairing damage and improving everything on said house as good...
[This is part four.
1. [Got away]
2. [On the run]
3. [Painful data restoration]
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...
It should be known -- to at least some people -- what I think of streaming. If you don't know, but want to: :creep: Here is an example :creep:
Who would have thought my desperate command into the void "Give me CDDA!" in the title the blog entry linked above would actually be considered...
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...
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...

![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.
(full picture 360KB)
The red text above the barcode roughly translates to:
Careful...

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...

First of all: The important Disclaimers!
I'm serious about this! The disclaimers are important and I mean everything exactly as I wrote it down. Nevertheless I put them into a spoiler to not clutter the entry. That doesn't reduce the importance.
This entry is part 4 of a series:

I want to share a video showing my findings regarding ProtectDISC CD from the previous blog entry in practice.
This shows successful loading from a backup CD-R
Keeping all the lengthy text in spoilers this time.

only ps5 updated to latest firmware can go on psn, jailbroken ones just don't use psn or they risk getting flagged or banned, altho spouting profanity in online play alredy does that -

Y @ YuseiFD:Then how come you do it and don't get banned ? or is it a question of getting caught doing it ?

wtf is the point of banning swearing in games? that's utterly a dumb decision
