Paranoid rofl. You think I'm interested in this? No I used computers for a decade where I learned how to use Microsoft Excel, Word, Gmail and...albeit very painfully...learned how to paste pictures and links inside posts on forums. That's pretty much it. You think I'm into computers?
Hah. This is for fun that we're talking buffer overflows and memory exploits and unpatched holes in the most patchy OSs in the universe and/or imaginable (why, you could even imagine this was intentionally so, if you were 'paranoid').
But no. As much interest as I have in this futility, I am motivated by _not_ continuing to buy brand new systems that crash within a day or a week or even - ROFL - before an OS has ever come near the machine. BIOS ERROR. CHECKSUM ERROR. BIOS CORRUPT.
"INTEL, what gives?"
"Just delete the logs."
You understand?
I did.
Well I rarely have PCs that crash or are not usable when new. Why do you think reading obscure log files is going to prevent your machiens from crashing in the future ? Or that you'd be able to fix things ? I remember that crazy story you wrote about teh guys trying to get your keyboard.
You are 2 things. #1) On the far edge of the computer luck curve and are just running super bad with your purchases. or #2) You're paranoid/insane.
Ok, a third is plausible. #3) You are deep deep into some shit of national security type importance and people are genuinely out to get you... but if so wouldn't they just kill you ? Not sure how a poker player self-proclaimed computer noob would come to this.
I guess there is #4 and that is you use your computer like a monkey and somehow manage to fuck it up by poking around all over the place and breaking things.
I find it fascinating that you pick apart these logs and post them from all over the place. I don't know if this is some sort of weird reality fiction you are trying to create or if you want sincere help. I'm motivated by boredom, not to show off my skills. Sonatine is far better at most of this stuff, but that doesn't prevent me from feeling compelled to discuss it. My advice may be wrong in some places, but when it is, it will be wrong as in unworkable.
Your 2 cents arent even 2 baht. Scooter is a difficult person to work with on technical issues in this format because he trends towards jumping to dramatic conclusions, which I consider a symptom of undisciplined intelligence when it comes to computers.
When you chime in and splash around, you become a lightening rod for all the rash decisions and unfounded conclusions that Im trying to break Scooter out of the habit of making.
Youre learning Objective-C?
How dashing!
Go start an objective-c thread and see how often I inject myself into the conversation.
See where Im going here?
Yea, I see where you are going. And I see this is skatzpoker. I also see forums that are for straight technical matters. Do you see me posting on those ? Hmmm. hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm?
Sorry, if I don't let you train scooter. rofl. All I told the dude was what dump means. I am not a macos guy, I corrected what I assume was my error. You're telling him that the thai government might be shaping his traffic and screw with his certificates. Ok, we assume that is true, is the VPN thing unreasonable ?
Personally, I just think you're butthurt. I don't care what you think about me learning objective-c, I was just explaining why I might actually finally buy a Mac. I remember you demeaning my CS degree with some comment about how googling is a more useful skill and more relevant. The failure in such logic is obvious, but keep up with the sarcasm so you can think you're above me, dipshit.
