If you check it and run it through a course and a decent one year guarantee, you should be fine. If it doesn’t fail then it won’t fail for quite some time.

Just make sure to put it in some RAID or parity

I just swapped my >10 year old WD Reds with refurbished used drives at 1/3 of the price, just because i need more space, these things last if you take some care.

Not only backups, but also migration

That’s a great solution. (sarcasm)

For a quick question yes, but if you try to search a solution for a problem it’s actual hell, 1000s of BS messages and countless other problems just thrown in one timeline.

You can either search through it for hours or ask the question which was answered 10 times before.

It’s as inefficient as it gets

That’s why we are ruled by woman everywhere, right?

True, just make it default, and a separate button if you really want to send ref-links for example.

“Google parent firm Alphabet employed 182,381 employees as of September 30th, 2023, so roughly a thousand job cuts would only be around half a percent of the company’s total.”

This is just a normal optimization, and holy fuck are they huge.

During the pandemic everyone was over-hiring, it doesn’t exactly tell you what you’ve wrote, but you are right as a whole.

Which 3rd party audit says that

Please don’t link a random news site or blog post

GrapheneOS isn’t a benchmark, it’s a choice of a random distro essentially, others choose differently.

If you think Chromium is safer or more secure than Firefox, you are mistaking, just take a look at the changelogs of both

Sadly it is happening, people unpacking their new Windows devices have it as default in their browser and on their desktop.

Don’t think the vast majority is changing it

The EU has to step in again

Double-NAT anyone? 3 times the fun, 2 times the work

Having a decent search will result in more usage, more data and premium features down the road.

Don’t you worry about Microsoft making money

Terminal

GM was never on the list anyway, i’ve tried a couple ones and i was always surprised how much money they want for their cheap ass interior

Yeah i gave up after the second sentence

Yeah but you can often hack around it and accomplish something similar.

Patenting the use of the voice from the player or NPC behaving naturally are examples which just hurts the whole industry

Rockstar patented NPC showing natural behavior, eg. when feeling cold or hot

No wonder that advancements of immersion in games are moving so slow compared to graphics when these dipshit companies patent every tiny thing.

That’s not innovation

I had some files which rot away over the years, who knows which update borked them, i use it as a cache for real backups for important files

And even milk the console manufacturers maybe?

Fine with me, as long as the PC version is stable patched on release.

Epiphany does look gorgeous, but it’s a horrible browser, breakage left and right on modern sites.

These web devs themselves do play a big role in this i guess.
