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)

“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.

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.

4k Max is so much faster than the Shield devices, i actually got upset that i invested so much money in two of them.

There is more to it with garage doors, what about the current state of the door, do you only want to open it a little bit for more fresh air and close it afterwards, bonus, is a car in there

One relay doesn’t fix this, it is simple but not that simple

Just clean it with alcohol (IPA), dishwasher fluid or glasses cleaner spray

I don’t think it’s about loving to shit on something, you can only get burned so often with overhyped games, i rather have the game speak for itself when it’s released.

Thanks for the link, i knew i’ve heard that before.

They are both hacky, but the Docker image is only handling the tasks you want it too, not the whole system, so if it goes haywire it’s not as bad.
