The Screening Room

@KnightadmiresChappo IANAL but you do agree that everything you post on SE belongs to SE. that you are over 13, that you can have your accessed to the site revoked for whatever means yada yada yada. the general ToS stuff people skip but you can re-read and if you don't agree to any of it you're supposed to delete your account

ToS/EULAs are funny because on Steam you don't agree to third party ones until you install the game so for a game like Code Vein where the use of the DRM Denuvo is only mentioned in the EULA, Bandai Namco can take your money while at the same time legally barring you from playing the game

@KnightadmiresChappo they have more tools that the highest ranking normal user wouldn't have. i'm not sure of all the tools but one of the easiest would be the IP Address and activity coming from there

if that's what you mean by location tracking SE can store IPs but tracking IPs are shorta moot. AVG never gets my location correct when it warns me that my location isn't hidden and also there's the use of VPNs

@Memor-X Yeah, they can't

@Knight if an SE or SO page wants your location, it's most probably an ad

and if it knows it, probably an ad using a tracking cookie from somewhere else

have had ads locate my state but that's about it

> find hot and available singles in Victoria

Meh, I don't even get spam

me thinks they aren't lesbians Google, try again

I mean, the spam folder is probably filled, so I don't get any smart spam

@M.A.R. was more thinking ads than spam emails

9:11 AM

I don't have FB so I don't get many smart ads either

most of mine are the normal trying to get money because they have an inheritance, you have one pending, they have a mission from god or from the IRS who wants to give me Australian Dollarydoos

In fact, lemme check my spam folder now

> Injured by hernia mesh? Compensation is possible

It's nice that they've tried to use many Unicode cheap shots to evade detection but Google detected them anyway.

Only seven spam in the last month

Wow, this one's interesting:

Spamming the right people 👍

Er, wrong people but even if one target is right . . .

Q: Why does Fitzgerald use a typewriter in Manhunt: Unabomber?

2:26 PM

In Manhunt: Unabomber, FBI agent Fitzgerald uses a typewriter while working at the FBI to create the profile of the Unabomber. The year is 1995. They clearly had computers in 1995, especially at the FBI. This seems very odd to me: was this a mistake in the scene? Or some sort of hidden message in...

Q: Missing Wade's gang member in 3:10 to Yuma (2007) movie at end scene

I just finished the movie 3:10 to Yuma (2007) and have some questions about Ben Wade's gang: It was mentioned some time there was an Apache member in the gang.

Q: KutuluMike (Michael Edenfield) has passed away

KutuluMike (known to some as Michael Edenfield) passed away. I don't have a lot of details. A few people noticed he had been MIA from things for over a month. We reached out and learned he had been in the hospital for 45 days with something called CMV virus, which he was at high risk for because...

R.I.P KutuluMike

Whoa :(

CMV, yeah, that's a real risk for transplant patients

It's not a single virus

Wait, it is, I confused it with something else

Ankit Sharma

I have no knowledge about it either way

Not sure what to say, I use to love his answers back then

You'd maybe appreciate me more now that you see the jillions of invisible risks I'm in.

I wasn't very familiar with him, but we had a few pleasant chats

To put it mildly, he was one of the less crazy SciFi folks

Ankit Sharma

I know him more from Agent of Nothing room of scifi more

We used to have all the crazy marvel DC chat

Q: Can books on movies help understand the movies?

10:42 PM

I have viewed quite a number of Western movies. Can books on movies can help viewers understand movies better? Recently I have become interested in movie books. I have two books in my mind. One is "Director's Chair" by Stephen Spielberg; the other is "Scorsese on Scorsese" by "Directors on Directors
