  1. It is bollocks. Apple, like most companies, is a company that follows the local laws. If a country says "Winnie the Pooh" is banned, then no company will willing to break this law, and the fat-ass bear will kick the bucket. I don't know when or why people started thinking that companies are freedom warriors. Are people stupid or what?

  6. Armageddon Cookies -an Original Warwagon Cookie Recipe

    The other day I was going ot make cookies but was short some of the ingredients so I just skipped them. So I coined the term "Armageddon Cookie" . An Armageddon Cookie is when you want to bake cookies but it's the Armageddon so you are short a few ingredients and you have to get creative. The ingredients I did not have and left out where Backing Soda Brown Sugar Vanilla In the case of baking soda I figured it had something to do with helping the cookie rise, so I was looking around my house for some and found a package of corn bread mix. I thought, corn bread rises, lets use that!! In an attempt to make it healthier I reduced the sugar and used wheat flower. The end result is on the best cookies I have personally ever tasted. Armageddon Cookies It makes around 48 cookies. (The photo is for thanksgiving, I made two batches). It’s probably one of the more healthy cookies. 1 cup sugar 6 eggs 1 tsp salt 2 soft sticks of unsalted butter. 2.5 cups of Wheat Flour 2 boxes of Cornbread muffin mix. The .80 cent ones. Add all the ingredients into a bowl and stir until thoroughly mixed. Roll sticky dough into little balls with flowered Hands or use a cookie scoop. Preheat oven to 375F and bake for 12 min. Now go make some!!!!! Then let me know what you think. If you only want to make a few just use have of each ingredient listed.

    Yeah, that'll show Microsoft they can't spy on everyone using their operating system!! Now we just need a version for flat-earth/anti-vaxxers, and everyone will be safe running Windows 10.

  8. Dear keyboard warriors, if you are so riled up at a for-profit company for making a change in their software, why don't you donate to non-profit orgs that directly/indirectly help the people in those regions? Oh yeah, you won't. You will stand in queue for the next iPhone though.

  11. Tesla Cybertruck

    ... doesn't change the fact that the first video was pointless and not at all about torque. I don't get all googly-eyed over dumb things like this (same with the electric F-150 pulling a 1M pound train)...it's just stupid. Tesla pitting an AWD vehicle against a 2-wheel drive vehicle wasn't fair ... and they knew it. The "rematch" is pointless as well ... especially if they don't at least opt for the F-250 4x4 (which puts it around the same weight/price category ... and the 250 can tow up to 15k pounds). Though, in the end it isn't a "real-world" test....well, maybe if you live in Alabama or Mississippi...LOL. It should be ... how much can a haul and/or tow ... and how far. I see the default ranges on the Tesla ... what are they under load?

    My brother managed to get some and we had it thanksgiving morning. It was not as bad as I thought it would be. But nowhere near good. It kinda tasted like ham with gingerbread on. But it was ok with cornbread. I would not mind never having it again.

  20. "Intel says that the reason it had to sell its cellular business at such a loss was that Qualcomm squeezed them out" I don't think it's hard to squeeze a company out when the model you are supplying to match a competitors is so bad and lacking in comparison that your vendor, apple, has to actually retard the competitor module. Intel's modems just sucked, so why would they be worth anything?

  33. Cheap easy way to extend wifi?

    powerline adapters could still be viable if you have good wires in your wall; you could run from your router to the needed room and have an AP plugged in there for the wifi. shouldn't loose too much speed that way would work best with a gigabit port on your router and gigabit powerline adapters for minimal as possible speed loss. how much speed you truly loose would depend on the quality of the power lines in your walls with this but from my experience it gives a rather reliable setup when you can't run pure ethernet cables to the needed area. something like the following for the powerline adapter https://www.amazon.co.uk/TL-PA7010KIT-Powerline-Transfer-Streaming-Configuration/dp/B06WRSHKC6/ and like the following for an AP https://www.amazon.co.uk/Ubiquiti-Networks-UAP-AC-LITE-Access-Point/dp/B016K4GQVG/ there are other cheaper AP brands if needed but Ubiquiti is one of the most trusted/reliable around. edit: since you mentioned you're UK I changed my amazon links in this post to the UK ones for your convenience.

    or GLE. However, this is a flatbed TRUCK. Not an SUV! If you are shopping for Q7 - drive Tesla model X instead - this is the competition. i actually like the truck design, but I was into cyberpunk for years. CD Projekt should it this vehicle to the upcoming Cyberpunk 2077 😂 would be awesome to see Keanu Reeves drive this!!!

  39. No it was not legal. Crimea has been part of Russia for centuries. Stalin merged it with the Ukraine during the Soviet era. Crimeans never wanted to be Ukrainian. They voted to go back home. Just because it ###### off the Europeans doesn't mean it was illegal. "Crimea has been part of Russia for centuries." - one of the many lies repeated by brainwashed russkies. Do you know how Crimea became "always primordially Russian"? Until 1783 there were no Russians in Crimea. The composition of the Crimean population in the 1770s was: 454,700 people (92.6% of Crimean Tatars, 4% of Armenians, 3.1% of Greeks, 0.3% of Crimean and Karaites). Indigenous population consisted of Crimean Tatars who lived there for centuries. In 1783, the Russian Empire occupied Crimea and immediately began destruction and expelling of indigenous people from Crimea and started to import Russians. With Russians came Ukrainians. In 1944, Russia forcibly expelled the last native Crimean. In 1948, the USSR adopted a decree on renaming Crimean areas from Tatar names to Russian. So, in *165* years, Russia took homeland from the Crimean people and Crimea became "primordially Russian." In 1954, the Crimean region was transferred from the Russian SFSR to the Ukrainian SSR. In 1956, the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR issued a decree and allowed the return of the Crimean Tatars to their homeland. In 1979, the population of Crimean Tatars slowly began to grow (0.5%). Until 2014, their population grew to 13%. In 2014, Russia returned back, started persecution of natives and started to make Crimea into "always primordially Russian" territory again. Russians remind me Germans during the war. Their citizens are spreading destruction, occupy territories, support state terrorism and corrupt dictator, who is incapable to make country prosper (despite being 2% of World population sitting on 30% of all World natural resources) and think that they are the "good guys" because of the state TV propaganda.

  41. The people of Crimea (mainly descendants of Russians) voted to be annexed to Russia. Russia decided that it's ok, you are welcome in Russia. However, and suddenly, democracy does not work, and if you say otherwise, then you are a pro-Putin (or Nazi). Was the election rigged? Well, nobody has proved that it was rigged. In any case, nobody cared about Crimea, especially Ukraine. But, it was in the way of a big project to transport gas to Europe and everybody when bananas about it (everybody = Germany), including the son of Biden. Of course, IT IS ILLEGAL TO RESEARCH IT. So help me out. A country votes that something a region of its country is doing is illegal. Yet because Crimea voted, that makes it legal ? 🧐 Do local votes supersede Ukrainian law? Honest question, I don’t know. Ukraine elected a president democratically, then, he suffered a coup d'etat (illegal but the EU says it was legal because it was the will of the people). And while everything was cooking, Crimea decided to move out of Ukraine, and again, the will of the people. However, this time it is not considered legal because it lacked the procedures and red tapes. Ukraine is a mess thanks to Europe. So, what is doing the US army here?

  42. Problems since upgrading to Windows 10 - Please help

    I think everyone else pretty much summed things up for you already with updating drivers etc. but with that said... if you just want a reliable internet machine and the like, Linux Mint would be worth considering if Windows 10 is giving you too many issues that can't be worked out. but it appears your good short of the CPU fan issue which the F8A BETA BIOS is probably what I would try first even though I suspect there is some risk involved because on my older computer from 2006, when running a BIOS newer than a certain version (which the newest one was also a beta), my GPU does not work in slot 1 (it's like it's not even plugged in when it is) but works in the slot 2. but on the older BIOS, it works fine in either Slot 1 or Slot 2 (it's got support for SLI but I never used the SLI function in it which is why I got two slots for GPU). so in order for me to run the newer BIOS I got to keep my GPU in slot 2. it's probably some semi-rare glitch in my case though because it's a Radeon 5670 512MB GPU and when using a older NVIDIA 7900GT 256MB in there, it works fine on all of the BIOS's in slot 1 unlike the Radeon GPU which after a certain BIOS revision it only works in slot 2. chances are you won't have this issue but it's always possible weird glitches could turn up from using a newer BIOS. hell, I ended up wasting $10-15 for a new BIOS chip on that old setup thinking the BIOS flash went bad and when the replacement did the same thing I started looking into other issues and eventually figured out the info above.

    Hello, The latest bios for the motherboard you described is Version F8A, according to the website link. You will probably need to manually download and install it, as it could be the Gigabyte-provided update checking app is no longer being updated to work properly with this motherboard after so many years.

  46. Hulu to raise Live TV base price to $54.99 starting December 18

    Kryten, you are 100% right. A few years ago the "cutting the cord" because online streaming services were cheaper was true but now these once-cheap streaming services are joining the cord wagon and becoming just as expensive as they are so it's getting to the point of pointless to cut the cord if you are just gonna end up paying the same thing as cable.

  49. [joke] Fart Football...

    An old man and his wife have gone to bed. After laying there a few minutes the old man farts and says, "Seven Points." His wife rolls over and says, "What in the world was that?" The old man replied, "It's fart football." A few minutes later the wife lets one go and says, "Touchdown, tie score." After about five minutes the old man farts again and says, "Touchdown, I'm ahead 14 to 7." Not to be out done the wife rips another one and says, "Touchdown, tie score." Five seconds go by and she lets out a squeaker and says, "Field goal, I lead 17 to 14." Now the pressure's on and the old man refuses to get beat by a woman so he strains real hard but to no avail. Realizing a defeat is totally unacceptable, he gives it everything he has, but instead of farting, he poops in the bed. The wife looks and says, "What the hell was that?" The old man replied, "Half-time, Switch sides."
