they'd go a 'no refunds' policy first, which they'd totally get away with in the u.s.

that's what it was initially, reporting decimal 'megabytes' for hdd capacity. lawsuits and settlements followed.

the dust settled and what we have now is disclaimers on storage products (from the legal settlements) and they continue to use 'decimal' measurements...

and we also a different set of prefixes for 'binary' units of measurements (standards body trying to address the problem of confusion): kibi, mebi, gibi, tebi, pebi, exbi; which are not widely used yet.. the 'old' ones are for decimal but still commonly used for binary.

so.... a $3 a month increase to prime.

one that will likely net amazon more profit when you don't give-in and pay the extra (ads being more profitable than subs, as netflix has realized).

at least you can choose to pay for one streamer at a time, binge, switch, repeat.

(for now, anyway.. until they all quit the full season drops and/or start putting their catalog on a rotation like the 'disney vault' was to home video).

four extra paws to knock stuff off of tables and shelves.

Well, bust my buffers!

it's an old one, now.. but it never gets old.

absolutely this.

do ya think nickelodeon/paramount actually gave explicit permission for their media properties to be fed to 'ai'?

ya. me neither.

the pricing of '365' is essentially a subscription to cloud storage, whether you use it or not, and getting office 'free' with that sub.

it's a hell of a lot more work and liability than just renting the server space and letting the user do 'whatever' with it.

smr drives are horrible. we have some here. some by accident, others for cost savings (used only for long term, large file storage)--but all of smr's faults are really not worth it.. maybe at half the price per tb it might be--for some use cases, but not at current pricing.

the last batch we got in don't even support trim, so i guess the only way to 'clean up' zones is to literally dump everything off, secure_erase them, and 'start over'.
