Why I am not allowed to ask questions in superuser anymore

any admin around to assist ?

@Mathematics Question bans are automated. You have posted 10 questions. 8 have been deleted. You 10 questions have a net score of -2. Hence the question ban.

@Mathematics Please read and take note of:

superuser.com/help/question-bans

oh ... nevermind

:50410446 it confused me too

system takes in account also the deleted questions

There's one thing I really like about quora, which is, they give more importance to answers then to questions

and I was thinking about this maybe a week or 2 ago

what benefits does SO or anyone gets from voting on questions

7:37 PM

YMMV, but my experience with quora has been ... emm ... hilarious

@Mathematics This is SU not SO.

if you ever get a programming query in google, that points you to quora, you can ignore that line - it will only contain complete garbage

and the same experience has been true regarding server-related stuff too ... and that's even including my horribly low opinion towards StackExchange policies

@Mathematics Another help page for you to read. superuser.com/help/why-vote

@Mathematics It's not surprising you are struggling with how the Stack Exchange network works if you haven't even read the help pages.

... neither have I :P

@tereško Why am I not surprised ;)

7:47 PM

I am definitely not struggling - looking at my rep on other SO sites, and me discussing this isn't a rant...

Years ago, I read a post on internet about how unwelcoming SO\SU\SE or any other website part of SO group is for new comers...

and for years with this network, I can see the changes made by SO and how they are trying to change this image...

I was just giving this a second thought, is it really worth it to down vote questions, maybe it's a good time to revisit these roles,

thinking out of box, does this platform really needs to be so restricted that you ask few questions and get b…

yes, it is worth it to downvote bad questions

and it's even better to flag terrible content for closing

@tereško reading your profile on SO, ummm, I am more then ever assured this eco system is not making people happy indeed

but my reasons for dissatisfaction are completely different from yours

sure, and I think problem is with how parts of SO works

8:04 PM

@Mathematics This is not the place to discuss it. That's what meta is for.

@DavidPostill I tried it previously but one gets down vote there too lol

anyway am off, have a nice evening, laters

People supporting brexit likely accidently voted to keep people in european parliment

I'm not sure how people in UK feel about it, but since the Article 13, I have become quite an euro-skeptic

hmmm here, it is the evil leading the stupid.

:/

it's an organization with german level of pedantry and french level of accountability

Just now, I found out that the stopwatch on my phone makes a ticking noise... like a real stopwatch.

It's super annoying, but I have to let it run because I can't restart the task I just kicked off. :|

Evening

Heh, that reminds me of a car I once had Michael. It was a Volvo V70.

After having a small road issue, I turned on the hazards and turned off the engine. And the sound of the blinkers went away.

That was the first time I realized that the blinker sound probably has been fake for a long time. It's just an indicator for people to know it's there. :P

My 2017 Prius has the exact same thing.

Yeah. It's obvious when you think about it. Why waste money on a mechanical relay for something as simple as flashing lights.

But it just never occurred to me before. :P

If you have someone in the passenger seat that doesn't have a seatbelt on, it will playing a warning beep if you go over 25km/h. If you indicate at the same time, there's no indicator noise.

Interesting. I never noticed that, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was the same.

I actually just came in with a quick question. I have a somewhat bricked Windows 10 installation. I'd like to get some files out without resolving to remove the disk and insert it into something else. So I'm making a bootable USB to help me, and I'm wondering if Hiren's is still a good option to use for this? Or if something better has come along.

Since it's obviously very subjective, I didn't see it as a good fit for a QA.

11:52 PM

I would probably use SystemRescueCd

Unless you are specifically wanting to use Hiren's for the miniXP.
