I recall them being caught of being in the possession of recordings they shouldn’t have had.

On top of this the option of not sending recordings to the cloud is being removed just now - so they stopped pretending to respect your privacy.

For real? My tweaking days ended when floppy came out for the C64.

Maybe the C64 datasette never got the upgrade?

A flathead is still a screwdriver, is it not?

It was a Philips screw IIRC. You can also use a flathead screwdriver on them but you shouldn’t IMHO.

Dude would just walk up to the tape drive, masterfully tweak the screw for a second, and it'd work.

Me too! For some reason I was the only guy in school who could do that. Fun times. 😊

Because I had a floppy drive and that's what I obviously preferred to use.

In the beginning these were not available. Also I remember them costing the same as the C64 itself. As soon as I could afford one I got one obviously.

I just another item that could a generational riddle: the hole-punch that made your one-sided floppy two-sided.

Were you also there when the floppy replaced the datasette? 😊

The screwdriver is not for the tape. It’s for adjusting the audio head so it can pick up the data on the tape.

When someone gave you a tape with some nice games on it there was a near 100% chance you needed to adjust your datasette to read them.

Hier ruhen meine Gebeine,

ich wünscht es wären Deine.

Here lie my bones,

I wish yours would lie here instead.

I didn’t mean contronyms.

One example of what I mean is the word knight. It used to mean boy or servant. The German word Knecht still means (farmers) servant.

Another is ‘nice’, which used to mean ‘simple, foolish, ignorant’.

There are probably some cases were words changed their meaning from positive to negative. (I know there are in German)

I am not the slightest bit interested in the majority of your post, it is irrelevant.

Thanks for exposing your utter ignorance right in your 1st sentence.

Edit - and you downvote this too. Somebody beat me to it so you were already downvoted before I read this.

Im not sure if you are just trolling for downvotes or if you really believe the crazy ignorant BS you post. If it's the latter do get some help.

Artikel 27. Zwischen zwei Tagungen oder Wahlperioden führen Präsident und Stellvertreter der letzten Tagung ihre Geschäfte fort.

Ich sehe da keine Einschränkung und keine lahme Ente.

Curiously, this “reality” of yours doesn’t mention any of the metric ton of lies told by Farage, Johnson, etc. For example, that bus claiming millions of pounds would go to the NHS after Brexit. You correctly state People are hurt by conservative policies, however Brits keep voting for them. You could have voted for Corbyn - you chose not to. Instead of keeping to ask for a special deal, after special deal after special deal as Britain did before, and during Brexit, just negotiate like normal people.

what’s the alternative to nuke sharing? Germany builds its own arsenal and you have no stake or say in it whatsoever. Does that sound more appealing to you?
