im like if a guy could store their entire functioning memory in a usb stick

[magz]

hi magz, you seem to know a lot about technology. is there any good free anti-virus software you would recommend for the average person to use? no worries if not. thank you

If on Windows 10 - 11 For personal computer (not enterprise n servers) ...

Average Windows user should use Windows Defender and Windows Security (default built-in), turn on setting. update every so- so often. and let run checks every once while.

As Windows default currently better for Personal, than most anti-virus, unlike decade ago - where windows defender was subpar n malwarebites free was best-ish for personal. have change.

most important part actually everything else beside anti-virus !

so follow other digital privacy + safety guides have recommend for other parts. especially for browser n downloads, as that how most malware come thru. (some other reccs should be in magz pinned post, some need update info tho) example:

use adblockers, most recc ublock origin. not adblock plus free version, as those allow ads by companies that pay them. -

Use mullvad browser even if not have VPN, for incognito. -

For firefox users, check "Arkenfox - firefox hardening wiki" especially 'extensions' section (especially especially ublock origin part of 'extensions') - but would not recc average person use arkenfox as-is, just check some infos n change browser few settings that are ok with change. Only use arkenfox.js if really really prefer privacy security more than... anything (not most people). -

n if are worry of security n malware more - use virtual machines on computer or tailsOS on USB stick, whenever do risky stuff. for most virus risk, won't memory of what do, n not infect whole PC. -

edit: oh yah @instantmessage remind. VirusTotal exist for scan malware links, files, n sus stuff. n can be use with browser. (people also use those for send queries on if something for real a virus, on reddit.)

Other operating systems? other time.

Untitled DannyMay2023 "Campfire" Prompt (WIP)

A/N: So I was going through my USB Drive the other day, recently thinking of getting back into my Danny Phantom jam, and found one of my DannyMay2023 fics that I'd been thinking about.

This was for the "campfire" prompt, and one of the two fics I'd started but never got around to finishing it (the other was a darker take on the Fantasy AU prompt, featuring Vlad as a vampire and, if memory serves me right, Danny as a Full Ghost rather than a Half-Ghost). The main reason why I didn't was because as I was writing it I had that distinct feeling in my gut telling me it was going to blow up in word count AKA a longfic, a task I wasn't ready for with when the realization dawned on me, and at the time I was new to watching the show, so I ended up putting it on the backburner.

What you see here is what I'd written in the doc. It's a bit clunky (because rough draft), and there's a plot in here somewhere, and IIRC I was considering throwing Vlad in here (for what reason, I don't really remember).

I think this has potential, and I wouldn't mind going back to this eventually - once I actually manage to sit down and take the time to pick up where I left off on the show, that is, so I'm throwing this under my wips tag for the time being (that, and I'd figure I share it 'cause Why Not).

“Have you ever wondered how many people have died in these woods?”

Danny perked up at the words. He had been so engrossed in poking and prodding at the logs and sticks turning to ashy stumps to keep the fire going that he almost missed what Tucker was saying.

“Tucker!” Sam said. “We made a deal, remember? No talking about ghosts or Vlad or any of that kind of stuff while we’re on this trip! Especially with Mr. and Mrs. Fenton running around who knows where.”

Danny winced. Of course they’d go flying right out of the campsite and straight into the woods the moment they had everything – and by everything that also included the Fenton-patented defense perimeters – set up, functioning, and, most important of all, stabilized.

“Yeah, I know, but you gotta admit, it makes you think, doesn’t it?” Tucker added. He rested his elbows on his legs and leaned forward, twisting round behind him to glance into the encroaching darkness beyond the trees. “How many people do you think go wandering out there, away from a campsite just like this” - he emphasized this by jabbing his pointer finger down at the ground between his feet - “maybe with a Coleman lantern or just a flashlight, or carrying their backpack around, and never find their way back? Say they go to deep and end up getting lost. Maybe they slipped and fell down a ravine and snapped their neck, or their legs, or something. Maybe got a little too close to a river and got swept down it. Or maybe--”

“Tucker.”

“I’m just saying,” he said, holding his hands up defensively. “People have died out here in places like this – and some of them had to have been found by search and rescue! But how many do you think haven’t been? You can send all the best dogs and use all the best forensic technology in the world but some people might still end up missing. Their bones might still be out there. And you know what that means, right, Danny?”

Danny blinked with a start. “Huh? Oh, uh. Yeah,” he said. He had been listening, but he had also been staring out into the woods where the light of their meager little campfire did not and would not dare reach the all-encompassing blackness within. If anything – or anyone – was moving inside it, he couldn’t – and wouldn’t – be able to tell at all. Perhaps the FentonWorks ecto-cannos wouldn’t notice, either. The night, for all intents and purposes, was theirs.

He breathed in, and then breathed out. Nothing cold emerged.

“Imagine how many ghosts must be out there,” Tucker went on. “Not in the Zone, not in the afterlife. Just stuck here in the land of the living, unable to move on. Hey,” he said, eyes lighting up, “maybe some of them might even think they’re still alive and just don’t know it. Wouldn’t that be something?”

Sam sighed and slouched over. “I guess,” she groaned. “Jazz is so lucky,” she said. “She doesn’t have to hear any of this.”

“For now,” Danny said.

“Aw c’mon, you know I’m not trying to be a Debbie Downer!” said Tucker. “You gotta admit, it’s a good thought experiment to think about!”

“Yeah. On any other given day when we’re not around a pair of ghost-hunting fanatics,” Sam countered wearily.

“And what day doesn’t end in y?” Tucker asked, nodding with all the wisdom of a sage three times his age. Sam responded with a grunt and a roll of her eyes. He sat up and unfolded his elbows. “Speaking of Jazz, she is coming back, right?” he asked Danny. “It’s almost full dark out. This is the best time – and the perfect weather – for s’mores!”

“Yeah, she will,” Danny said. “She’s just, you know, gotta make sure everything won’t go total FUBAR while we’re out here.” And made sure Mom and Dad behaved themselves, at least long enough until tomorrow morning, when they could actually see what they were doing. She must have felt just as he did right now just thinking about it.

“Maybe send her a text?” Sam offered. “You know, just in case she, uh, forgot?”

“Yeah. Maybe I should. That’s not such a bad idea.” He took his cell phone out of his pocket and checked the screen. “Ah good, there’s still signal. At least we’ve got something that’s still up and running in one piece,” he said, and unlocked the cell. His thumb tapped and danced along the keys.

Tucker leaned back and stretched out, first one arm above his head and then other. If he went any further, Danny thought, he was going to tip over and crash. “Oh hell yeah, I can just taste those s’mores! Gonna put those babies right up against the fire and watch them melt, oomph!:

“Don’t forget the barley bites,” Sam added.

“Barley bites. With ooey, gooey, chocolatey s’mores dripping all over to go…. Really?! What kind of combo is that?”

“Don’t knock what you haven’t tasted, Tuck! It’s very healthy and very nutritious and, to top it all off, not filled with processed sugars and fat.”

“Girl, you’re missing out. Come to the dark side and have a bite of real food. Just one.”

“Nah, no way. I don’t have to taste garbage to know garbage.”

“Hey, practice what you preach! Come on, just give it a shot. You’ll thank me for this later. I know you will~”

Sam blew a raspberry at him. Danny snorted, and then looked back down at the screen when he heard the ping go off. The text message conversation he started scrolled up on the screen, along with Jazz’s selfie profile picture next to it. It read: Yeah, I’m coming. Just had to talk down Mom and Dad from wanting charge off even DEEPER into the woods. This was accompanied by a frowning emoji that was rolling its eyes. As soon as he finished reading it, another text box appeared: I got the stuff ready, just need to go get it. You guys are good over there?

Yeah, we’re good, he texted back, and sent it. Yet even as he did, Danny couldn’t help but look back up toward the trees before them, surrounding them, and behind them, where the RV and the ecto-cannons were within sight, to the darkness beyond the campfire.

He exhaled again. Still no cold on his tongue. Still no chill to mist the air in front of him.

Danny pressed his lips together and looked away, back into the fire and its dancing flames.

“From the river to the sea…”

Let’s talk about such a scenario in which Israel is erased.

7:00 a.m.: You wake up and try to unlock your iPhone to read email, but it won’t unlock.

Why? Because Face ID is Israeli tech. It was invented by PrimeSense, and acquired by Apple.

7:30 a.m.: Before heading to work, you go into your garden to make sure your grass is being watered.

Nope, can’t use drip irrigation. That’s an Israeli invention.

8:00 a.m.: You get into your car and try to turn on Waze so you can know where there is traffic.

It won’t open because Waze is Israeli.

8:30 a.m.: On the way to work, you almost lose control of your car because it didn’t notify you that you were swerving out of your lane.

That’s because Mobileye is based in Jerusalem.

9:00 a.m.: “Fine,” you say to yourself, “I don’t need Waze or Mobileye anyway. Soon my car will be autonomous.”

Nope. Innoviz is Israeli.

9:30 a.m.: You get to work and get ready to have your first meeting on Microsoft Teams. It won’t work.

All the AI on Teams? Built in Herzliya.

10:00 a.m.: You try to use your USB thumb drive on your computer. No go.

Thumb drives (a.k.a. flash drives or memory sticks) were invented by Dov Moran at Msystems, and acquired by SanDisk.

11:00 a.m.: You need to access some classified information but it’s behind a firewall. No way around it.

Firewall technology? Invented in Israel.

12:00 p.m.: You look out your office window and the sky is so beautiful, you want to take a photo.

Nope. Smartphone dual lens technology was invented by Israeli company Corephotonics.

1:00 p.m.: You have a lot of work to do. You fire up your PC but it won’t boot up.

Is it running on an Intel processor? Oh, yeah, that was designed in Israel.

2:00 p.m.: You’re getting really frustrated. Nothing is working! So you turn to Google, but even that won’t work.

Google builds many of its products in Tel Aviv.

3:00 p.m.: You decide to FaceTime your wife to vent your frustrations. Why won’t it work?!

Because voice over IP was invented in Israel.

3:30 p.m.: You’re really losing patience, so you go to your favorite instant messenger program to speak to a friend.

Nope, instant messaging was invented in Israel.

4:00 p.m.: You give up and decide to focus on work exclusively – you need to build a website.

Sorry, Wix is Israeli. You can’t use it.

5:00 p.m.: You get a call from your doctor. He wants you to come in because he saw something troubling in your last check-up. He wants to use the PillCam.

You have to inform him that’s a no-go. That’s Israeli tech.

6:00 p.m.: Since your car is unreliable, you decide to take public transportation. But your Moovit app won’t load for some reason.

It’s Israeli.

6:30 p.m.: You decide to do some shopping for a new car because it’s time to go electric.

Sorry. Better Place CEO Shai Agassi pioneered the infrastructure for electric cars in 2012.

7:00 p.m.: You get a call with bad news – your relative was recently diagnosed with cancer. He needs your help finding the best treatment.

Unfortunately, you can’t help him because many of the leading cancer treatments were developed in Israel by companies like Novocure and Vascular Biogenics.

8:00 p.m.: You’ve had a hard day and just want to chill out in front of your social media feeds. But none of your feeds will load.

Meta, parent company of Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, has many offices in Israel.

9:00 p.m.: Time for a late dinner. You want to prepare alternative meats or dairy products.

Your supermarket doesn’t sell them, however, because Redefine Meat and Remilk are Israeli startups.

10:30 p.m.: You decide to read your book, but you can’t find your glasses anywhere.

That’s because you bought them on GlassesUSA, an Israeli company.

11:00 p.m.: Your last resort: Watch some TV. Wait – your Samsung TV won’t turn on!

Samsung has many offices in Israel, including Samsung Next, a fund that invests in tech.

You go to sleep and hope tomorrow will be a better day.

Here, try this new rhyme instead: “From the river to the sea, if Israel is gone, what will be with me?!”

Hi could I possibly request a Richie kirsch X reader where the reader finds out he's ghostface and doesn't know how to feel about it at first but ends up warming up to the idea and actually ends up finding it kinda sexy.

It can be your choice if you want to make it nsfw or not 😄

I could talk him out of it, you once thought while sorting through all of his self tapes and short films. 

I could call my friend that lives in Studio City and see if she knows of any early news on internships or…

Selfishly, you thought about it and never did it. Calling her would mean a chance of that internship not being a long shot, would mean Richie moving far away from here and from you. You don’t touch your phone at all while you re-organize his footage. 

I could call his dad, you also think, while downloading all of the completed scenes onto a usb stick. You’d had his dad’s number practically on speed dial since that incident at your twenty first birthday. The infamous night when your roommate had dragged you out to the first and only club you’d been to in your life, when Richie held your drink while you waited in the bathroom line, when he drank your drink assuming he could just by you another. Your drink, that someone along the way had roofied. 

His dad could help me stop this, you think, but again you don’t pick up your phone until you’re in your car to go to work picking out a spotify playlist for the ride. 

A pit grows in your stomach and doesn’t stop until the car reaches Woodsboro. You breathe deeply, eyes screwed shut and trying to pretend this isn’t happening.

“Hey,” Sam calls, reaching into the backseat to grab your knee, “We’ll be back in Modesto in no time.”

If only she knew. 

You smile, hoping the nervousness doesn’t show in your eyes as you look to Richie. Handsome Richie, whose hard drives you have all backed up in your bag and ready to go in case anything… you try not to think about it. You think only of your handsome friend who’s been here for you through it all and you’ll be here for him through this. 

“Do you remember that one we shot for a film project? The one where I had you finish off Ghostface with a home made spear? And then you suggested it should be the pool cue your character was using earlier in the footage?” Richie’s voice makes you jump in the hallway of the hospital. It’s late night and the lights are dim. It’s eerie, like Richie’s plan didn’t need to be a thing to make this a horror movie. 

“Yeah? What about it?” you scrunch your nose at him, genuinely unsure of why he’s bringing this up now. That was your favorite of the short films you'd made with him. He was the director as well as Ghostface, of course. You were the final girl. It was a little obvious, not your best work. Ghostface was the Final girl's boyfriend and she had to kill him but it was a memory held near and dear to your heart. It was when everything clicked and fell into place with Richie. Now that everything is real, now that you’re here, the apprehension you felt has started to dissolve. A mist around you and Richie disperses. You’re looking at him through fresh eyes even though he’s been your best friend since middle school theater. Richie has only looked more and more stressed, more tense here. 

“Thats when I knew about you. That’s how I knew you’d be the new final girl of my new franchise.”

He leaves it at that, and shortly after, there’s a few more dead bodies in the hospital.

It’s you that swipes Tara’s inhaler. It’s a brilliant idea, one that even Richie overlooked. He said he needed a reason to get them back to Amber’s house, and you made it happen. He thanked you and hugged you tighter than a friend should, but what blooms in you is not the butterflies and roses you expected, but bitter jade jealousy. You’ve wanted to be like this for so long; You actively daydream of having Richie wrap his arms around you just like this but you can't stop yourself from wanting to tear his head off because of the fact that Amber, his co-conspirator, will not stop looking at him. Anytime she looks at you she looks with the same disdain as she does for Sam. As if you're one and the same.

She has no idea you're helping her by helping Richie.

"It's you and me," Richie says, his injured arm being the one to wrap around you, "Its only us getting out of here. You're my muse."

Amber and all of her glares has no idea that he's planning on double crossing her for you. A certain pride swells in your chest at that. Nothings changed from before you came. Maybe an internship and a move can be in the cards for you...

"You and me," you echo, nodding and leaning into his embrace, "And you're my director."

You're holding your side as you talk to the police in the ambulance, but you can barely focus on anything past keeping your story straight. Not when Richie lies ten feet away in a stretcher, throat torn open and staring only at you. Your eyes meet and everything clicks into place. The way you found it sexy when he chased you up the stairs with a knife in his hand, the way he jeered at Sam for thinking that she was safe with him, the way he so easily pinned everything on the dead. Sam might have gotten a stab on you, but you had gotten the upper hand.

Hell, he might even be staring at Sam's blood matted into your hair.

But then your eyes meet and it's like they make it feel in the movies. It feels like in When Harry met Sally when they realize they were meant to be, that all these years of friendship melted into more.

"She twisted the knife, officer," not a lie, until you open your mouth again "She called me a fool for walking into a horror movie."

But with Ritchie's weak attempt at a smile being thrown in your direction, its more like you walked into a rom-com.

How we experience shared memories,

because I find it interesting.

We've noticed a slight change recently, in the way our shared memories present internally. Whether it actually changed, or we only just became aware of it, is debatable.

For some context: We technically share all memories. As far as we're aware, all memories are either accessible to everyone or no-one. We also have very little innerworld awareness or memory when not fronting.

Many of our memories are not what we would call immediately accessible, mostly things that happen while one person is fronting, remembered by another. If they choose to access the memory, they can, but they don't necessarily inherently have that knowledge without doing so.

The way this happens is, when one makes the choice to access a memory, an object that I can best describe as a USB stick appears in front of them. It's a little more vague than that, but it's hard to explain internal workings with external language rather than concepts. They then have to insert the USB-like object into our "dashboard" (the long desk at our front, we'll explain that another time) and then they will have that memory.

We aren't entirely sure when this started happening, we just know that that's how it presents now. I'm curious if any other systems have similar experiences with how their memories work/are accessed, and if it presents in a similar fashion (the USBs)?

You're talking aboyt Kuma made me thinking, is possible Vegapunk somehow move Kuma memory to that ancient robot(The one Luffy, Bonney, Vegapunk, and Jimbei found) as vessel? (Like FMA plot)

Bcs last time that's robot begin to active right after Bonney got her memory and before flashback.

The giant robot really is a big ol' mystery, don't really know how to comment on the robot itself

You're right though, like I hadn't even thought about this but. If Vegapunk was able to view and analyze Kuma's memories without actually touching the Memory Bubble, then it could be possible he could've created a copy of the memories. Like a recording of them on a USB stick or something

And if he was able to do that, then... arguably, maybe Vegapunk could install that memory copy somewhere? Be it any random Pacifista or the Giant Robot. Like as long as there's some kind of a computer "brain", like. Yeah you could probably install the memories there.

The question is, would that give the robot free will though? A soul, a mind that could feel things and analyze the memories and make their own decisions?

'Cause the memories are just information, not a soul of their own, right? Unless Oda writes it so that the memories do make up the soul?

Like it'd be kind of the reverse of S-Bear, who has a mind of his own (to some degree), a soul, but he's still just a clone of Kuma, not Kuma himself. He has his own soul, and none of Kuma's memories. (IDK if Kuma's memories could even be inserted into S-Bear but even if they could, that still wouldn't turn S-Bear into Kuma, just a slightly more accurate copy, wouldn't it)

IDK maybe it is still viable Kuma's Memories could still end up being placed into some kind of a vessel, it just raises interesting questions

Like if Vegapunk did managed to sneak in that circuit then maybe we could get Kuma back as he is, in his original body

Or maybe, if Kuma is able to push out kind of abstract concepts like pain and copy memories from people's bodies, could he maybe push out his actual soul? Could that soul then be placed into another vessel? Like a proper Alphonse Elric-kinda situation?

Maybe Vegapunk was able to copy Kuma's memories and could insert them into any of the vessel options we have (hell, maybe have them copied into ALL the Pacifistas); best case scenario, we end up with a clone of Kuma who has inherited his will. Without a (/the original) soul, it won't be The Same Kuma, but it will be A Kuma

There is the question of would bringing back Kuma or having someone (like S-Bear) inherit his will completely undermine the entire point of Kuma's flashback and sacrifice. Because there is an argument to be made that it could. We spent all these chapters getting to know this man, all the pain and suffering he went through his entire life, getting to understand why he did what he did and what he sacrificed. All this for a tragedy that then gets fixed with magic, as if nothing ever happened? I'm so torn here. Because on one hand, I would agree with the people who'd think Kuma coming back would be kind of lame, we've had more than enough fakeout deaths already. But on the other hand, I want Bonney and Kuma to reunite. I want them to have a happy ending together. I think we all do. And unlike past flashbacks where what's done is done and it can't be fixed anymore, the reason so many readers are holding onto hope Kuma could survive is because there MAY still be a chance it could be fixed. That maybe Luffy could save Bonney AND Kuma. Like there's a critical part of me that feels like Kuma should stay dead for the sake of the writing. And then there's my inner fan/reader who just wants a happy end. And I'm so torn.

I'm so sorry anon I went completely off the topic, I genuinely don't know what to make of the Giant Robot right now and have no opinions there, but man. There's actually an opportunity for some really interesting story telling here depending on how shit pans out.

[blupengu]

All righty I’ve finished science brofist’s route and that means more rambling! (Seriously though everyone sees his name as that right?? How the hell else am I supposed to pronounce Scien Brofiise??? It sure as hell ain’t how they say it in Japanese! 😂) spoilers under the cut as usual

Hmm… overall while I liked it, I think I’ve been so thoroughly emotionally and mentally broken by Mathis and Lucas that Scien’s route seemed pretty… tame in comparison LOLOL 💀 or maybe I’m still on residual WTFs from Lucas and should’ve waited another day to let it settle oops

The pain meter from these first three to me is Lucas > Mathis > Scien

The ending was definitely still a big oof and a little yikes though 😬. But with how dubious the “science” is in this game, part of me was wondering why Scien couldn’t just make a clone from Ceres’s body and then stick the memories he had into her after? Like people save memory backups of themselves prior to dying so why couldn’t he have saved her memories on whatever constitutes a USB stick in this world lmao

The science in this game in general honestly I just… can’t think about too deeply or it all falls apart LOL, being in like the medieval ages where you still gotta hand wash clothes but then suddenly having shit like electric cars, headset phones, touch-holograms, and perfect cloning with memories but not emotions is such whiplash 😂

The final CG was super pretty though, oof the expression on his face, my poor babygirl 😩 but… why are all the kiss CGs… not super great LOL, is the artist bad at drawing kisses? Because so far they’ve all looked a little uhhhh in each route? 😬😂

I very much appreciate the fact though that Scien’s best CGs are hands down the ones where he’s posing like a lil slut lmaooo, the jigsaw puzzle one?? Bitch he’s practically twirling his hair!! 😂

And his interactions with Ceres were very cute, especially the whole sandwich thing! But when she was like yay I’m so happy I’ve been promoted from maid to a sandwich dispenser! I was like girl… are you okay…?? Well clearly not but still 😂 like dang, never been happier getting told by a man to make me a sandwich lmaooo

Anyways! Back to the route in general - the whole thing of him being an oh no evil science man was so… meh to me? Maybe because I work in the sciences so I have a different view but like, I was perfectly fine with him experimenting on criminals? That’s pretty much what clinical trials are in the real world?? Of course you need to test shit on a few people before giving stuff out to the the general populace??? Why are people upset at this????

It was nice learning a bit more about Salome (though tbh I thought her backstory and relationship to scien would be… more significant LOL). And kinda weird that they left her mumbling when they were in hiding as “…” instead of maybe just quickly forcing the text to go through, because my limited amount of Japanese from anime let me understand the gist of what she was saying and oh. Gives a bit of a different vibe knowing what she said vs it having to be explained

Also, my face when they just decapitated Adolphe but then Ceres TOOK HIS HEAD WITH HER? HONEY NO, GIRL PUT IT BACK HE’S DRIPPING

FUCK THE ROYAL FAMILY, ALL MY HOMIES HATE THE ROYAL FAMILY 🔫🔫 The reservoirs or repertoires or whatever the hell they’re called can eat my ass and die 😂

The way I hollered when Lucas went in and shanked their asses, MY MAN!! … every other time he showed up though was a big aw shit Lucas we’re not in your route anymore go away please!! You’re causing the despair end nooo!!! 😂 very conflicting emotions when I see him now lmao

Same with when I see Jean… like you’re still so pretty and I love you but uhhh, hey Mathis maybe come over this way instead 😬

Side note, kinda sad we didn’t get to see Ankou in the second half of the route…

And finally - I love you Dahut, I was so worried you’d be evil but oh, thank god we have someone that’s just like a good friendly person (I think), you are so pure I love you please show up in every route to ease my fears (Hugo doesn’t count because I’ve still got my eye on him LOL)

Aight I think that’s it! In summary, Scien is this meme:

Literally just look at him

I wish I looked this sexy doing a jigsaw puzzle 😂

All-In-One Computer Buying Guide

Alright, folks, if you're in the market for a new computer and you're eyeing those sleek, space-saving all-in-one computers, you've come to the right place. We're here to help you make the best choice. So, grab a coffee, get comfy, and let's dive into this all-in-one computer buying guide.

1. Consider Your Space

First things first, think about where you're going to put this beauty. All-in-one computers save space, but they're not one-size-fits-all. Measure your workspace to ensure it'll fit comfortably.

2. Operating System

Like with tablets, you have options: Windows, macOS, and a few others. Choose the one you're most comfortable with and that supports your preferred software.

3. Screen Size and Resolution

Bigger isn't always better, but it depends on what you need. Consider your usage – are you working with spreadsheets, watching movies, or both? Opt for a screen size and resolution that suits your activities.

4. Performance Matters

All-in-ones come with various processor options. If you're into gaming or video editing, you'll want a powerful CPU. For casual use, a mid-range processor will do the job.

5. Memory (RAM)

RAM is your computer's short-term memory. More RAM means better multitasking. If you're a multitasker, aim for 8GB or more.

6. Storage Space

Decide whether you want a traditional hard drive or a faster and quieter solid-state drive (SSD). SSDs are the bomb for speed, but they come at a higher price. You can always opt for a hybrid model with both.

7. Graphics

Are you a gamer or a designer? You'll need a dedicated graphics card. For everyday use, integrated graphics should suffice.

8. Ports and Connectivity

Check the number and types of ports available. USB, HDMI, and SD card slots are handy. Also, make sure it has Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for easy connectivity.

9. Audio and Webcam

If you're into video calls or enjoying good tunes, don't overlook the audio and webcam quality. Crisp sound and a decent webcam make all the difference.

10. Budget

Set a budget and stick to it. All-in-one computers range from budget-friendly to high-end. Don't break the bank if you don't need all the fancy bells and whistles.

11. Read Reviews

Before you click that 'buy' button, read some user and expert reviews. They often reveal the quirks and perks of your potential new computer.

In conclusion, all-in-one computers are fantastic for their space-saving design and sleek looks. With the right research and a clear understanding of your needs, you'll find the perfect all-in-one computer to suit your style and keep you cruising through the digital world. Happy computing!

anyways consciousness labels aside, the best way i can describe. gestures. is that you get an immediate emotional feedback from whoever else while cofronting. and whatever memory files you created stick with you.

but experiencing the same external situation with whoever else, whichever memory has the more mild emotion attached to it gets copied and uploaded to the general memory bank. this doesnt happen with anything internal. the only way to share memories like that is to sit in the front together and hook up your pcs with a usb cable and copy+transfer the files.

hence why theres a strong divide between people who front frequently and those who dont. some people like the connection from fronting together others prefer their every thought and feeling not be blasted on a loudspeaker

Irken stuff

Since the pak contains vital organs like the primary heart and brain, a lot of organs are no longer present in Irken bodies, as a result of genetic engineering and natural evolution.

For example, the secondary brain (not in the pak) isn't much more capable of that of a lizard's. It acts as a control panel to pilot the body, controls reflexes, and stores the very limited cognitive function required to remove and perform maintenance on the pak in dire situations (a task that's usually performed by an invader's sir or an average Irken citizen's peers), and that's pretty much it.

The digestive, excretory, imune, lymphatic, endocrine, and temperature regulation systems are also much less complex than that of humans, consisting pretty much only of the squeedily spooch and a few glands attached to it.

They do, however, have insectoid hearts and lungs.

The pak stores the primary brain (basically just a glorified usb stick will all the Irken's knowledge and memories on it) and the primary heart. The primary heart regulates blood continuously through the body, while the secondary heart (not in the pak)act as a backup that can keep blood moving for about 10 minutes while the pak is removed.

Irkens have semi-open circulatory systems. Irk has pretty high gravity, so the only reason they're able to survive this way is because of the secondary heart.

Since the pak is directly connected to both the primary and secondary brain, the mechanical attachments stored inside of it (ie; the big mechanical spider legs) function just like extra limbs and require no more extra effort to control.

Canonically, Irken's don't have a reproductive system. They were pretty much removed via genetic engineering, since people having the ability to copulate kinda defeats the purpose of having a society based on genetic engineering in the first place.

There are, however, vegistial differences between genders in Irkens, most notably the curly antennae and eyelashes seen in females. This comes with a big caveat though, partly because these features are only more likely to occur in females, not exclusive, and partly because as previously mentioned, they're vegistial features, and are gradually starting to become less common in any gender at all.

In the same vein of having no reproductive system, Irkens also have no sex drive. And since their species never evolved a strong drive for strong interpersonal relationships either, this means that most Irkens are aroace legends.

It probably goes without saying, but Irkens don't naturally see members of other species as being people, let alone hold them to nearly as high of a standard as they do their own species. This mentality can change depending on personal experiences, but it doesn't change the fact that natural empathy is very low in Irkens. This does carry over to how Irkens view others of their own species as well. The "I am the best and therefore everyone else is less worthy of being viewed as a person than me" mentality is very much a staple of Irken psychology, and it's what kept their species alive long enough on-planet to get where they are now.

Irkens have (small) nostrils and ear holes, they just aren't surrounded by cartilage and therefore aren't defined enough to be worth drawing in the IZ artstyle.

Meat (and other food products but most notably meat) on the IZ version of Earth is just as diseased as the water is polluted, and Irkens are hurt by the infectants rather than the substance itself in both cases. Humans are only imune to it because humans have been regularly consuming them their whole lives for countless generations.

My friend and I recently bought new gaming computers at the same time.

His is a laptop, advertised as a high end gaming machine. It has two USB ports and one of them already doesn't work. He can't figure out why. He would like to have the thingies for both his wireless controller and mouse plugged in at the same time but tough shit. The fan output is underneath it for some reason, so he has to put it up on something or it overheats.

Mine is a desktop, bought from a small nerdy business that customises machines. Every person I've met who works there is a musty smelling middle aged man who will chat with you extremely enthusiastically about science fiction and games for hours. The case has hinges, so the side of it opens like a cupboard. I mentioned longievity and they told me the first thing to become outdated will probably be the graphics card, and showed me how to remove the current one; i.e. twist a thing and pull firmly. It has 7 USB ports, split between 3 locations. It has slots for extra memory sticks and more harddrives. I accidentally opened the Sims 4 twice at the same time and it didn't bat an eye. It cost less than half what the fancy laptop did and, if the previous machines I've had from those same friendly nerds are any indication, will last 6-8 years.

I suppose what I'm getting at is, if you want to understand what consitutes a good piece of computer equipment and how to get it, the best person to ask is an enthusiastic nerd, not a marketing person.

You know what, fuck it, I don't *want* some frivolous, artisanal, lighter-than-air computer with no customizability, no upgradeability, no reparability, no ports, and a lifetime of *maybe* 3 years if you're lucky. I want a fucking great BEAST of a computer that's designed to last a minimum of 50 years, with ports up the wazoo and optional drives for every kind of media! I want modular components that you can drop in a bog for a year, dry them off, and have them still work fine! I want them to make a noise like "ker-chunk!" when you slide them into place! I want a switch that you pull to turn it on! And I don't want software that constantly forces you to get a pointless, cosmetic "upgrade" every few months either! I want durability! I want longevity! I want satisfying haptics! I want Silicon Valley to go fuck itself!
