GAMERS LAIR

[WhatNitrous]

Sad news out of India, more than 280 people died, up to 900 injured. 2 trains collided with each other, they blamed the electronic system, the train loaded with people switched from the main track to a "loop line" where it slammed into a freight train loaded with iron ore. Different news sources will have different numbers of casualties, but I'm just posting what I saw in the news.

If there's anyone here from India, my heart goes out to you, stay strong.

'Harshest punishment' vowed in India train crash; electronic system blamed: June 4 recap

An error in India's electronic signaling system was blamed for one of the world's deadliest train crashes in decades.

Maybe we'll get a new bundle

I'm fucking kidding...but the electronic system?

Does anyone else think we live in an era (even in india) where an electronic train system malfunction means a computer system was hacked or its like a Millennia too late for this to happen by pure accident?

Call me a skeptic, but I think this technology would have been ran into the ground so deep a fluke like this would be practically impossible unless outside interference was involvedn regardless of location.

I mean we're talking trains...the wild west here, they could probably run one under the ocean to india by now without an issue this bad.

I truly mean no offense...and the bundle comment was entirely a joke, my skepticism however is not, I just can't see this happening.

Kind thanks to Vinka Zec for polishing down my feudalist.

Anyone here ever have to deal with this stupidity before?

Save me a headache.

I was rushing to make ANY recovery tool

•Why not just clone the entire drive with macrium reflect? Its free. Even better if you can only clone the Lenovo recovery drive, but I doubt it'd be bootable from anywhere but that same lappy with the NOVO button. It's also a hidden "drive". Without taking it out of the lappy and accessing it from another pc I dont see how you can change that partition's attributes.
•You can move the lenovo recovery drive (partition) to another drive, eg a usb (Ignore the fact AOMEI wants you to use their diskpart software)
•And you didnt mention if you used the option thru windows to create a recovery drive. I made one this week, it was around 8G.
•Guessing you already know about the Lenovo Digital Download Recovery Service (DDRS) ?

I'm guessing you own Turbo Golf Racing and Grime.

Grime and Remnant (on Epic).

Does anyone else think we live in an era (even in india) where an electronic train system malfunction means a computer system was hacked or its like a Millennia too late for this to happen by pure accident?

Call me a skeptic, but I think this technology would have been ran into the ground so deep a fluke like this would be practically impossible unless outside interference was involvedn regardless of location.

India's train system is one of the largest and most used in the world. Unfortunately, it's also one with the worst maintenance in the world and train accidents are quite common.

Why not just clone the entire drive with macrium reflect? Its free

Guessing you already know about the Lenovo Digital Download Recovery Service (DDRS) ?

Because thats the only drive I have, and my disk clone does about the same as Macrium in this case. But I need to set the USB boot drive to a DVD style boot, which I've done before...but the recovery is funky on the USB.

I already gave her the laptop with the recovery partition.

Without taking it out of the lappy and accessing it from another pc I dont see how you can change that partition's attributes.

Thats easy enough, I do this all the time, I have my backup set as a hidden read-only recovery drive with GPT attributes to avoid any OS screwing with it

Unfortunately again, I don't have the drive.

And you didnt mention if you used the option thru windows to create a recovery drive. I made one this week, it was around 8G

Nope lenovo through that link above, if it was Windows I wouldn't have an issue, I wanted the real disc from them before it was touched, and like I said (I think lol) its half python...never seen one like it.

Grime and Remnant (on Epic).

Ahh, ya that makes sense...forgot about remnant on epic, not my type of game.

Golf racing kind of was haha.

Hi WhatNitrous, a hard farewell! I still didn't have my Notebook at the time, so I had to squeeze every second of gaming:

I'm seeing eldi get dragged away from his friends PC...fighting to get back to the controller or KB in my head right now lol.

Maybe not so literal but...

Greetings.

Mine's the same other than I havent upgraded Pn295 to Slyphin yet. Why are you gonna swap to H'erkow Warrior Script then? We cant complete the set coz the last artifact was limited. Arent you better off farming twitch than changing to Script for the +1 for two steam games?

yes, better the twitch build, equipping with warrior script isn't worth in my case, but if anyone has a free slot in the build can use it for steam quest.

Oh I was under the impression you had to be a sub to get the coinz now.

No, sub is needed only to redeem games with clams in the hitsquad 's store (that website outside the channel).

I have enough to claim the 4th's random key. This man keeps changing the rules, I swear.

Remember you can redeem only one key.

my skepticism however is not, I just can't see this happening

Plain old corporate negligence and greed. A hacker probably couldn't have done as much damage.
During maintenance the train is stopped (less profit), you need to pay a team (less profit) and nothing significant usually comes out from the maintenance (preventative preventions is just the name of the local theatre kids' amateur improv group).

Similar shit happened in America recently,

Instead of 80 replies, we'll just leave it simple...its that simple. Idk wtf laughing gas came from...even though I'm geeking right now

I missed this one, was wicked pissed too.

Bought it for steam, offline play didn't work between Steam and the rockstar launcher, refunded it, never looked back.

I'm not a big fan but my friend I just moved under and his old man who lives here were all addicts and keep pressing me to try it.

I've come to realize that the driving in it is worse than Watch Dogs (ouch), the Multi-Player is flawed more than the old mod community, and the Story actually looks pretty decent out of all fucking things the game is not praised for lmao.


They are one in the same company.

Same thing lol. story vs MP.

Yep. Its always been EA, Origin was just the launcher. You don't see Madden 23 opening with "Origin Sports!!!", Its " E. (longer than life pause) A. (ditto) Sports"

the worst part of it is roleplaying XD, people think they're trully being something they are not.
if it was virtual reallity with full imersion maybe, but as it is...

cool Nitrus! Added looks good one!

You and pretty much everyone involved in this conversation can call me whatever you want to a certain degree, I know all of you well enough not to care...and like pete constantly points out, its not like I've given you any more of a real identity to go by...although I doubt pete is really a pete, kens really a ken, you get my point.

I don't think I'd sit around here warning people of the dangers of foolish online acts if I was targeting you all.

Its the one place I kick around, its the last place I'd go looking for enemies. I can go to 1000 sites or at least other areas of this one if I wanted to do that...preferably one where people spend lots of money

I used to visit other forums before this, and I have to say this is the best one. I check from time to time other ones but Indiegala is the only I hang more with other buddies. This is da family

Polytetrafluoroethylene - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

The general population has been exposed to PFOA through massive dumping of C8 waste into the ocean and near the Ohio River Valley.[72][73][74] PFOA has been detected in industrial waste, stain-resistant carpets, carpet cleaning liquids, house dust, microwave popcorn bags, water, food and PTFE cookware.
As a result of a class-action lawsuit and community settlement with DuPont, three epidemiologists conducted studies on the population surrounding a chemical plant that was exposed to PFOA at levels greater than in the general population. The studies concluded that there was an association between PFOA exposure and six health outcomes: kidney cancer, testicular cancer, ulcerative colitis, thyroid disease, hypercholesterolemia (high cholesterol), and pregnancy-induced hypertension.[75]
Overall, PTFE cookware is considered a minor exposure pathway to PFOA.[76]
