For example, I learned through trial and error that burning at 52x speed for a PS2 game often made it impossible for the console to read the disc.

  • That is truly sad. I was, at one point, simple using Keybase as a free cloud storage.

  • Yes, yes the old “fingers in the windows” manoeuver. Quite a painful one, I must say. I have seen many such in my times. Have you heard of “feet on the windshield” trick?
