03:17:01 <MrMobodies> Can't believe this crap is still going on
03:17:02 <MrMobodies> https://www.reddit.com/r/LegalAdviceUK/comments/1h1f7gv/missold_as_leasehold_as_a_freehold_do_i_have_any/
03:20:22 <MrMobodies> It is either a leasehold or freehold and I bet they use the hidden term "virtual freehold", "virtually" it is a "freehold" once flouted in the midi 2020's to confuse buyers.
03:21:18 <MrMobodies> Listed as feehold, and the "virtual freehold" hidden somewhere in the small print that the seller's lawyers delayed until they were paid.
03:46:02 <rc-garage> mooo
04:02:52 <K> noooo
04:09:47 <Kuschelpony> https://files.sueden.social/cache/media_attachments/files/115/168/445/106/883/215/original/f873f15fd956993a.png
04:41:27 <MrMobodies> I think I understand how these scams work now
04:41:29 <MrMobodies> https://www.reddit.com/r/HousingUK/comments/1k5cr2k/house_is_leasehold_and_freehold/
04:41:51 <MrMobodies> They tell the potential buyer that it is a Leasehold, technical correct from a certain point of view.
04:41:59 <MrMobodies> ooops
04:42:02 <MrMobodies> Freehold
04:42:16 <MrMobodies> it is a freehold to the exiting owners
04:42:32 <MrMobodies> there's the scam right there
04:43:04 <MrMobodies> joke: it can still be a freehold but you pay so and so through the back door on a leasehold basis"
04:44:15 <MrMobodies> "what are these houses? Freehold and will always be because they are owned by so and so but rents it off"
04:44:43 <MrMobodies> it's like a way with words
04:45:57 <MrMobodies> I see threads advertised as freeholds and the leaseholds at the same time and confusion to the buyer. Obviously a new scam.

07:47:59 <MrMobodies> that stupid thing come up and it is stuck on 7
07:49:15 <rc-garage> are you upgrading it from 10 to 11 or something?
07:49:44 <MrMobodies> RIGHT IN THERE
07:49:45 <MrMobodies> ooh
07:49:47 <MrMobodies> caps
07:50:03 <MrMobodies> No I am installing my modified copy of Windows 10 LTSC from scratch
07:50:09 <rc-garage> ok
07:50:11 <MrMobodies> I was given a few servers last week and some desktops
07:50:24 <MrMobodies> I found it is like 20w IDLE without the raid controller in the T130
07:50:30 <MrMobodies> really good
07:50:55 <MrMobodies> I am going to use it to replace that NSA 310 thing as support for SMB V1 is gone
07:51:20 <MrMobodies> I was given a lots of drives to low level format and keep
07:51:49 <MrMobodies> 2x Exos 7E2's 3tb
07:52:06 <MrMobodies> immacuate condition during MHDD and no slow sectors
07:52:26 <MrMobodies> So I am going to put a small ssd in and one of these in there and use the other one as a backup no and again
07:52:52 <MrMobodies> oops actually they are 2tb
07:53:03 <MrMobodies> but that'd do
07:53:15 <MrMobodies> 1 Desktop 3tb
07:53:48 <MrMobodies> a whole load of Corsair 60gbs a few 120gb 2x512gb(one with 0% life but no failed blocks)
07:54:11 <MrMobodies> So I am using that to store software on for my KVM switch
07:54:20 <MrMobodies> where I won't be using it to do much writing
08:03:03 <MrMobodies> Desktop drive vs Exos 7E2 same country Thailand and possible same factory
08:03:05 <MrMobodies> https://i.imgur.com/g2PBy7e.png
08:04:01 <MrMobodies> 5 years apart: Desktop drive (2013 casing) 2015 label and 2018 Exis 7E2
08:04:07 <MrMobodies> They look virtually identical
08:04:37 <MrMobodies> Both 7200rpm and I wonder if they are just selling these things under fancy names and promises of reliability.
08:09:12 <MrMobodies> Can tick but can't download to see in small writing "Get Full Access" Damn! They want me to create and an account and SIGN IN!
08:09:39 <MrMobodies> Oh I can if I click the download url thing
08:10:38 <MrMobodies> they make it so difficult
08:10:51 <MrMobodies> than it needs to be
08:14:07 <MrMobodies> I mean look how they bloat the driver/firmware selection in this small iframe thingly where I have to expand large boxes just to be redirected on another page to download things.
08:14:08 <MrMobodies> https://i.imgur.com/NQuUbJk.png
08:14:51 <MrMobodies> maybe that's why they put the tickboxes there as the user's could loose track with all the crap inbetween
