      Haven’t read King’s novel, did see the movie, and now, is it possible a tiny smidgeon of Christine has popped up in AI? πŸ˜›
      Classic, and a must for the list is Evil Dead II. πŸ™‚
      The atmosphere of The Disappointments Room clicked, not for the critics though. A shortish flick, Kate’s histrionics towards the end were off the charts. πŸ™‚
      An improved reception it was for Blood_Quantum, in this case not here as zombie movie has to sport at least a few cracking one-liners to beat the yuck factor.

        Terrific, all the settings are intact then. πŸ™‚
        Cleantalk 6.42.1 is the fixed one, so we’re good (provided the White Screen of death stays in check). Might perform a backup as well. πŸ™‚

          Something is going on for sure. Today there was a critical error on this website and interestingly no email notification.
          The only way to resume (so I was thinking) was to rename the plugins folder, and activate everything except BuddyPress. Woah, oh bugger you were right, it was Cleantalk after all. Sorry!
          Hmmm, de-activating it didn’t appear to do the damage seen last time – everything looks okay to you?

            Do the docs help at all? Noticed it isn’t all that straight-forward determining a bug from core or plugin, which means things can quickly evolve into a rather large and unwelcome warren. Elementor looks a bit pricey as well, even at the basic level – it’s not entirely outside the realms of imagination for the commercial folks to have a hand in crafting the more insidious bugs in WP for a quid or three. πŸ˜›

              That fixed it, have to say forgot all about the shader issue, originally thought this was the issue, misinterpreted it, turns out the graphics subsystem is completely unaffected.
              Wait, wasn’t it announced a couple of months back Anandtech were closing, there’s nothing about it on the About page. The forums are remaining, however. πŸ™‚

                Gotham borrows a little from Sin City, it has the same composer at least.

                FTA had The Rhythm Section on again, consequently the memory was refreshed of the brittle plot once more. The feisty lead is worth a second look. πŸ™‚
                Watched The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo for the first time, impressive, though being a long film got a little lost in some of the detail, so definitely on for a rewatch next time. πŸ™‚

                  Definitely! A thread or blog, even reviving the subforum back at AfkMods would be cool. Some folks say it runs quite well on Linux – on your rig don’t think there would be much difference though. πŸ™‚
                  Meanwhile, the enquiry regarding Oblivion is still shuffling through Intel’s in-pile, if they are unable to assist, an option is to refer it back to Bethesda in the hope someone can change the DC references.
                  It’s more than likely that most of the devs have moved on, unless someone back then put all that stuff into a VM. πŸ˜›

                    If there was ever a Contradiction Clinic, is there a way to make the guy form an argument as to why he prefers contradiction to argument, other than just having him denying the preference. πŸ˜›

                      Looking at the tracking, looks like you got it pretty bad.

                      Lovely, NASA’s GPM video is 609 mb, it’s only 15 seconds in duration, so some amazing resolution – 8k?
                      The HoA will want to revise that, a tree can withstand quite a bludgeoning if given a good start and a bit of care.

                          Took the liberty of editing the links to “open in new tab,” feel free to revert if doesn’t suit. Also get AI driven suggestions and corrections in the editor for trivial issues – do you see those?
                          Otherwise, in between times, without a doubt! πŸ™‚
                          This is where Disqus would look nice, if we can only keep it out of the other pages and forums.

                              No, they mentioned code adjustment, so something related to server ID or locale?
                              When they requested complete de-activation, we lost all the settings, so back on defaults. Which, from memory, were the same – no matter – a future milestone for them in any case. πŸ™‚

                                We are glad to know the issue is solved. As compensation for the inconvenience, I’ve added 1 month to your Security license.
                                Do you require the accounts active for further testing?
                                No, you can delete them.

                                All done. πŸ™‚

                                  The unfiltered bright nebulous backdrop provides extra connotation, accentuated even further by mixing alternate paragraphs in the grey filter for example.
                                  Unlike the forums, the url links won’t open in a new page, not a big deal for most folks though. πŸ™‚

                                    Ah, they might have cancelled the entertainment complex at Orlando, we still have the Dopeameme Institute for Pleasure Research coming into Vegas, exclusively for those of us who are dopamine rush deprived!

                                      The FTP issue looks to be some kind of issue with current access levels, looks like Cleantalk can get in now. πŸ™‚

                                        Funny one, the suggested quick fix didn’t repair, so opened up a ticket.
                                        Edit:

                                        We would like to test it in your environment to understand why this problem occurs. Could you create a temporary user of your website backend with administrator rights plus a temporary FTP account and give us access to them? We will not touch anything else except our plugin, we guarantee the integrity and safety of your data.

                                        Created temp accounts for testing, think they will be fine, … unless of course they uncover our secret plans for world domination. πŸ˜›

                                          Used to keep boxes in case of returns, the general experience is if anything ended up faulty, the box had gone, as the unit had exceeded warranty anyway. πŸ˜›
                                          Two items of concern with the HP which should be followed up with their support, the first being the W11 USB recovery drive left in the slot on boot. Grey/nothing screen on boot up, if the flash is disconnected the Wolf Security logo immediately shows and the machine consequently boots up.
                                          Second is the video, experienced after hibernations and wakeups perhaps a week after a cold boot, the monitor on the display port won’t show on wakeup. Connect it to the other display port it’s there, unfortunately only half the time. It stays on for about 5 seconds, flicks off for 5 seconds, back on again for 5 seconds, then off again, ad infinitum, same if re-connected to the original DP port. Haven’t seen anything like this before – changing resolutions doesn’t change, a monitor sync issue most likely. πŸ™

                                            The Woods is on the list, and did see the Changeling many years ago, classic horror, and enjoyed the soundtrack especially.
                                            Often wondered what it would be like if everything we receive in content is presented in a Sin City format. Especially news feeds, events of the world delivered by shadowy silhouettes in fedoras with low hoarse voices consumed by passion/hate/revenge, while brandishing nameless weapons of unknown origin and deadly accuracy. Include stills and dialogue balloons for extra effect. πŸ™‚
