I’ve got 6 in a random mix of brands (Seagate and WD) 8-16Tb that are all older than that. Running 24/7 storing mostly random shit I download. Pulled one out recently because the USB controller died. Still works in a different enclosure now.

I’d definitely have a different setup for data I actually cared about.

Hard drives aren’t great for archival in general, but any modern drive should work. Grab multiple brands and make at least two copies. Look for sales. Externals regularly go below $15/tb these days.

I hate to shit on your general point, but they absolutely do ask in this case.

It’s relatively inexpensive and makes life much easier for people who are not tech savvy. Your position is that of an incredibly egoistic person that never had to help an older relative or dealt with an adult who doesn’t have time for random bs during an hour or so of downtime most people get in a day.

If spending hours trying to figure out which “free” streaming service had not gotten shot down today and magically has the content you want is worth less to you than a one time payment of a few bucks to plex, then you really don’t value your time.

Red light cameras are fine as long as they work properly, but fuck the speed cams. Glad they are still illegal here.

Also zypper is a fantastic package manager.

Super relevant argument that ccp allows some companies to grow before they take over. And yes, obviously nobody would do business in China if they didn’t share the profits. Hopefully nobody will ever do business again with a shithole like russia.

Except Nvidia is the third largest company in the world with a ton of existing IP that they would effectively be handing over to a country that has a history of stealing IP without any repercussions and had the resources to take advantage of that IP and make Nvidia irrelevant.

Right, for profit companies famously have a history of just handing themselves over to totalitarian regimes.

China has no successful companies that aren’t approved, controlled and often subsidized by the party.

Bigger problem than tmsc is that China will just “legitimately” steal all IP and replace them with another company within a year. Moving to China is insane if you don’t plan to bend over for the party.

They’re probably not on staff and hiring them externally just got much more expensive and complicated.

There’s plenty of believers. None of them are acting in a meaningful way.

They are not capable of a coup imnho.

Edit: Oh, you meant democrats are never going to get power after recent republical coup - seems likely.

Nothing will happen. Democrats are completely spineless and will bend over like they have in the past.

You do know Firefox has profiles you can use to effectively make it two (or more) separate browsers?

Not shitting on Waterfox, just FYI.

Of course their challenge requires those things. How else could they implement it? Most users will never be presented with a challenge though and it is trivial to disable if you don’t want to ever challenge anyone. I was just saying CF blocks ML crawlers.

Huh? I can reach my site via curl that has neither. How did you come up with this random set of requirements?

I’m not sure how they actually implemented it, but you can easily block ML crawlers via cloud flare. Isn’t just about every small site/service behind CF anyway?

Sensors are cheap and have been around for a long time, but I’m going to guess the number one reason is the small part. Fewer cars = less traffic.

I’ve actually watched a city I visit regularly grow over about 20 years and it went from them having zero traffic to Los Angeles style traffic jams. This is despite their best efforts like making extra wide roads, using roundabouts, etc.

I just want to specify further that large corporations that own a shit ton of properties are to blame.

So you stopped using an iPhone too? Because Apple also renamed the gulf in their maps app.

Is Symbian still good these days?
