The You Game!

[Fifo]

< is afraid that < has made someone mad at < for not knowing what THAT means. < is such a weaboo.

< wonders what ^ refers to.

If you’re referring to this…

Vinyl/cassette FTW. CDs/MP3s lack depth to me.

…then you don’t need to worry as not everyone is an audio purist like me.

[The Jonster]

No, actually < is talking about not knowing what a waifu is and making Birds858 mad.

[PluMGMK]

< knows how that feels, since many of <'s casettes seem to have disappeared. And thanks to Fifo < can now tell when someone is using a phone/tablet or not. < thinks.

No, it signals that someone is using Apple software, be it on a Mac or an iPhone/iPad. No direct correlation to phones/tablets!

[Steo]

Yeah, they were supposed to be new, and claimed there was warranty.

When < checked with the manufacture, there was none. Plus they had Lenovo stickers on them. Some drives were DOA.

Though Amazon already said that < would definitely have no problem getting <'s money back.

<'s been a bit weary of ebay from time to time as some sellers will sell genuine screens (cheap clones from China) for phones or brand new screens (clearly used and some actually have scratches).

<'s never had the problem on amazon though but < guesses they don't expect people to know as much as < or ^5 just thinking they're new.

3 DOA though, oh no like

At least ^5 can get a refund and buy new new ones

Well, < just learned something else new today
< is such an eejit.

[Fifo]

< sees mods get more freedom than us…

[The Jonster]

Hmhm, yeah. < thinks it would be nice if < could lock threads so that < wouldn't feel so bad upon having mods lock it for <. (Only did that once though).

[PluMGMK]

< is such an eejit, ^^.

[The Jonster]

< is such an eejit.

???? < has no idea what ^ is talking about.
lol

Also, < is amused to hear ^ saying it for the first time in....how long? Usually < only hears < and ^^^^^ saying it.

[PluMGMK]

Well, < started it, really. < was referring to the message that Fifo screenshotted. < deducted some Tings from <'sself for that.

[The Jonster]

WOW , ^ can deduct Tings from other moderators, including ^self???

Once again < is left a bit speechless.

[PluMGMK]

Yes, all staff members can modify the Tings of any member at all. < seems to recall a period of six years during which normal mods didn't have those powers, apparently because they had abused it. Then, once the power was finally restored to all mods, DesLife (then a French mod) proceeded to deduct a million Tings from A10das.

[The Jonster]

Ah yes, the french moderator with that Dora the Explorer avatar (amusing but i like it). < is curious as to how he got that avatar.

[PluMGMK]

< never really got a satisfactory explanation for that… < thinks it's because he annoyed Hunch back in 2004/5, and requested not to have Tinky-Winky – he was given Dora instead because he hated her even more! Apparently the plan was to get rid of all special ranks soon, but that never happened, and the rank grew on him down through the years. (There was a period during which he didn't have it, but it was restored in 2009/10)

[The Jonster]

Hm < didn't know Dora was one of those ranks. < knew about Tinky-Winky, that toilet, and the naked mole rat one, but there were others it seems. Hmmmm...< wonders where he is these days since leaving.....3 years ago < thinks?

[PluMGMK]

Well, the Dora one was ad-hoc, like < said.
Inco actually had the Tinky-Winky one for years, apparently because he wanted it. Then the molerat one was created as part of a blitz of "punishment" ranks for last Record Day. It was a joke, and all the French members ended up with one (except boombo ), but Inco ended up keeping his as punishment for disappearing…

[Reese Riverson]

At least ^5 can get a refund and buy new new ones

< is already ahead of you there, at least on the new ones.

< was told to wait for Amazon's Investigation Team before doing anything else at this time, but < did go ahead and order drives from NewEgg. (No 3rd Party.)

So instead of 8 x 2TB drives, with two intended to be spares. < settled for 6 x 6TB drives, no spares. Knock on wood, but the same HGST drives < bought from NewEgg like this, all worked perfectly. They were 6 x 5TB for <'s home storage server.

Basically < already knows what new drives truly look like. Retail boxed version, obviously come boxed with accessories like some screws and warranty from HGST themselves. OEM version, would come in the same anti-static sealed back as the retail drives which will have a label on the bag showing the part number, serial number, size of drive, and everything.

The fishy drives were in a ULINE bag, which anyone can buy and use to reseal products. Sure, < could say "Yeah, okay so I can understand maybe they were pulled from new Lenovo servers" or "They may have had some burn in test.", but the issue is the fact on how much they varied along with the incorrect S/N being reported. This information can be checked super easily under Microsoft Windows or Linux.

You simply need CrystalDiskInfo on Windows and for linux? A simple command which < is sure Plum knows by heart.

smartctl -a /dev/[DISK NAME HERE]

Of course you'll need to know your disk name to check it, which it does depend on how many drives you have and if it's an NVMe or not. "fdisk -l" is your friend.

[The Jonster]

< thought the punishment for disappearing and failing to deliver the RD promise (translation probably didnt go correctly) was -50000 tings, according to judge pour. The avatar punishment, if < read it correctly, was because the defendant at the time had a lack of humor and insulted the admins or something like that?

Edit: My mistake, < mean -25000 tings. < am glad we were able to restore his positive ting count though.

[Birds858]

From what Birds posted though < thinks that may be a husbando

< think that nobody use husbando.

< is afraid that < has made someone mad at < for not knowing what THAT means. < is such a weaboo.

< is not mad and ^ is not a weaboo. But < think that ^ should go sometime on Know Your Meme when ^ doesen’t understand a meme.

[The Jonster]

Yeah < never got into the meme thing until < started posting on these threads, though < has heard of a few. < needs to have a look at all of them later.
