Did the premise of an entity approaching you only when it's not being viewed originate with Doctor Who's Weeping Angels?
  • Funny enough, a number of years ago a giant 4chan archive surfaced which included a lot of the very first SCP posts that had been lost. It actually confirmed that 173 was posted after Blink aired, meaning it was almost certainly inspired by the episode. Not that it makes the SCP worse, but it's some interesting lore.

  • MattKC announces plans to develop an open source DIY WiiU gampead
  • Perhaps, but Nintendo also seems happy to let people forget that the Wii U ever existed. Also, they seem to not care as much about non-piracy/CFW releated hardware mods- take the 3DS capture card as an example, AFAIK it was never targeted by Nintendo since it very clearly was not meant to facilitate piracy.

  • What do companies get out of rewards programs
  • They don't really need to associate it with a specific person (although I'm sure they'd love to)- they can get plenty of data just within the context of what a single person buys in their store.

    I have to get this off my chest (nicotine pouches)
  • You took too much. That can happen with any drug when you don't have a tolerance built up and take too large of a dose.

    Of all the drugs you could take to help with autism symptoms, nicotine is one of the worst. Any benefits it might have are nothing compared to just how chemically addictive it is. There are many, many better options for helping with anxiety, both prescription and "experimental". I'd really advise against trying nicotine again, it really isn't worth it.

    Particle accelerators explore what happens at ever-higher energy densities, or in cosmology what came before. Our future is what comes from lower energy densities, or what comes after
  • The funny thing is that standard human operating temperature is much closer to the coldest you can get than to the hottest. Absolute zero, when all thermal motion stops and it's literally impossible to get any colder by definition, is only -273.15°C. We can reach it fairly easily, and we know that weird stuff does happen at low temperatures such as Bose-Einstein Condensates, but the universe really can't cool a few orders of magnitude- there isn't that much more cooling for it to do.

  • Firefox update failing and Wide vine will not install.
  • I'm curious, what happens if you try using a "portable" version of FF? It should be completely self-contained, so if it works, you would know it's probably some weird remnants left over from an old installation messing with things.

  • I have been stalked and harassed for at least 11 years
  • BlueStacks is for emulating an android phone on a PC. It's not a remote desktop app, and regardless such apps can't be used to control iPhones due to the way iOS sandboxes applications from the system.

    Either way, all such apps need to have connections approved by hand on the device they're connecting to. I think Occam's Razor applies here- is there really a world-class hacker breaking into your phone using crappy, easy-to-spot remote desktop software? Or is there a simpler explanation?

  • I have been stalked and harassed for at least 11 years
  • Sorry to say, that but that sort of thing doesn't really exist. Not on iPhone and not on Android. If they did somehow manage to hack your phone, it would not show up on the screen in a visible way, it would happen in the background without your knowledge.

    I know this isn't what you want to hear, but I really think you may want to seek medical help for schizophrenia. I mean, what do you have to lose? At best, it could solve all of this, and at worst, you've wasted some time and are back to square one.

  • Cannot view posts on reddit in browser from search.
  • Sync works too! This is what I do. Unfortunately it's only a matter of time before reddit/imgur/some other site changes something and the app breaks, but for now the old reddit apps still seem to all be working okay.

  • How to store digital files for posterity? (hundreds of years)
  • One thing to keep in mind: if someone gave you a 5.25" floppy disk with this type of data on it, even if the data was perfectly readable, would you have any way to do it? You'd need to hunt down someone whos into retro technology and hope you can figure out how to decode the information. The format itself became obsolete, so even if the data would theoretically be accessible, the means to access said data may not be.

    Point is, what are the chances that CD drives will be around in hundreds of years outside of a museum or personal collection? They're already becoming more and more uncommon after only a couple decades. But there really isn't a great solution to this, especially when it comes to video, because you can't just print it out.

    Side note, are you sure that CD Golds are more durable than M-Disk?
