Yes and no, I only buy refurbs these days, so long as they work out of the box, they have been far more reliable than retail drives from a box store.

Definitely higher incidents of DOA drives, but the ones that work, have been pretty solid.

Still don’t trust spinning rust, so in addition to dual parity raid, I also have a full backup copy. But I no longer have reservations about refurb drives..

I like the name, and I’ve got lots of projects in various states that I’d love to share. I’ll check it out.

Completely agree, which is why I put so much blame on the voters. People continue to be incredibly easy to manipulate, which is what my reply was about. We should have seen a democratic wave, and collapse of republicans. Again, not because the dems were so awesome, but because of the clear, unambiguous horrors of the orange anus.

Don’t get me wrong, the musks and other powers that be deserve all the blame as well, but those such forces are always what we’re up against. Yet people still absorb the message subconsciously and vote on the feels they were manipulated into having.

Dems without a doubt deserve a lot of blame too, but we can deal with incompetence over maliciousness.

*Trump won the popular vote because Kamala was cosigning a genocide

How did that work out you fucking morons (not you, unless you were one of them)? This is not a defense of Harris, but it was plain as day that this orange asshole would be an order of magnitude worse on the issue.

Weaponized incompetence is malice. They are about power, and it’s a huge display of power to put morons who cannot think for themselves in positions of authority. They know that these people are useful idiots, and they know how much it demoralizes the rest of us.

ACAB isn’t just a slogan, it’s a strategy.

Excellent reference.

Oh my god this is ghoulish.

I paid for it ages ago on a deal, and it currently suits my needs. It runs as a docker container and it just works. It’s easy enough for my elderly mom to use remotely and I’ve ripped my entire movie collection for her to watch. I also like the live tv that’s included with the pass.

I would switch in a heartbeat if it wasn’t doing what I need, but so far I have no complaints, it works well for my family’s needs.

Can’t it be both? All the worlds current biggest problems are caused by this techbro disruptive bullshit. Door dash and AI are from the same ecosystem.

This shit drives me up a wall. The local, formerly awesome pizza place switched to DoorDash for delivery and it has sucked ever since. Pizza arrives cold since door dash drivers don’t have insulated bags, half the time they chuck it on the front porch and it sits there on the cold concrete even longer.

Delivery driver was always a reliable stoner job, I had so many friends in my youth who delivered pizza. Despite the cloud of weed smoke that came with the pizza, it was always hot and fast. They were motivated to get those tips after all.

Pretty much exactly the same as me, which is why I posted it :).
