I'd ring that

Let me drop this on fleek resource: www.forvo.com The Pronunciation Dictionary. Longtime user. Ya just search the word, and get results from people all over the world saying it in their native tongue with country specified. It's great. Hearing Americans say Gouda (a Dutch town famous for the cheese) is like taking a cheese grater to my balls. No, it is not "Goo-dah" of you. Repent!

Grand Theft Auto VI is Now Coming May 26, 2026

I recently beat GTAV and thought, "Finally I'll check out Online play." Rockstar dropped Linux BattlEye anti-cheat support AFAIK back in December. No reason given, just one day penguins were doing multiplayer, the next day not. I fear their super late PC port will share the same fate. Bummed and angry at the same time.

Hacked PC - random sounds playing

Guilty of reusing credentials. Strong password, but reused.

I use my ISP's router and their built-in firewall is saying Enabled on the page.

Then I run UFW on my PC denying all incoming. It's one of two rules (the other is port forwarding for CS:CZ server).

I thought running Mullvad VPN would be another good layer of obscurity, but whatever drive-by malware got through something somewhere. ClamAV reported no infections. No SSH and no RDP. I really am at a loss on how I got compromised.

Thanks for spitballing with me! I look forward to further insight.

Why

I'm over here facepalming about their exaggerrated praise of the 3D gasket. It's a gasket. Surely not the unprecedented use of such in a watch, as they claim. A fucking gasket.

I have an A/V Receiver that goes out to a 6.3mm/half-inch jack headphones, and I mostly listen through the 2-channel phones out. But sometimes I run my 5.1 surround sound. Does not happen when the PC is off. I checked all cables, everything seems in order. No tap.

No ideer. And no ideer. I'm finally trying to do some serious damage control, but it's been a real headscratcher. I was amused at first, I have a good sense of humor. Until they started with "long dash- dot dot... dot dot... dot". I'll save you looking it up, they told me to off myself. That's not funny anymore. Thus Lemmy post.
