Griefing civilian targets

I have an app for combining two images into one. I found that just putting one image in it and saving almost always does the trick. Though, rarely, on some already small files it will actually make them bigger. But since I already use it it comes in handy instead of having to install a new app for that.

I agree. It’s fundamentally broken. 400 is useless. And when I searched I found zero clues. I even posted about it and got zero clues. Had to figure it out on my own.

I only ever had an issue when I was trying to upload an image. Text only posts were just fine.

I used to get 400 errors when posting pictures. I eventually tracked it down to image size. If I shrank it to under 500Kb it went through every time. Sometimes a little larger would go through but every picture under that made it.

Always a tradoff

I don’t have a tower to put the poppy drive in. I’d rather make sure that these end up in a good home.

A poor musician always blames their instrument.

These came out in 98 And 99 so odds are they paid retail

You are correct. Sorry about that everything after 8-inch floppy is a blur.

I had that happen too. Couldn’t find something with DDG. Hopped over to Google and was shocked at how completely unusable it was.

Sunday edition

Thank you for tagging me. I’m glad I didn’t miss this, but I couldn’t do the full reply until the Sunday edition.

I want to offer a long history of how everyone saw this coming but I think “LOL” is the best response

I’m only going to focus on one part because it shows the disconnect between you and I.

If you have a working printer, toner, paper…

Who said anything about a printer? I said hard copy. Not printout. Write it down. Carve it into rock or shape it in clay. 3000 cycles and you keep limiting yourself. That 200 pounds of copper wire could be pounded flat and marked with a sharp tool to create a long lasting hard copy. So many options for a hard copy and you defaulted to the one option we can’t even get to work when everything is working.

90% of people would die within the first three months because they don’t know how to cook and we have a three day supply rule in stores relying on just-in-time delivery.

If you make it past the first 90 you probably have seeds in the ground to get you to the next 90. We don’t just inherit the environment, we shape it. We can start growing our own food within weeks, not reliant on ancestors

But let’s get back to the topic. 3000 charge cycles, your number, is a lot. All that time can be used to make hard copies of essential information. You can learn how to salvage wire and build new energy sources. An average 2100²ft empty house has almost 200 pounds of copper wire in the walls. 3000 cycles to learn.

But thanks for telling me who I am and what skills I already have.

The average hunter gatherer only worked for about 3-6 hours a day. They had more free time than we do.

Point is that 3000 cycles is more than enough time to find or make a replacement even if society doesn’t rebuild.

That’s… a lot of cycles. That’s almost a decade. Plenty of time to build an electric generator from scratch by traveling on foot to a copper mine and smelting the wire yourself. Unless you manage to pull an alternator from a car that can’t find gasoline and save yourself the trip. From that you could make a gravity battery or any number of other options.
