he loves this trick. it's how crap got (and gets) added to windows, was doing it back when gates was running the show too. one little bit at a time. a lot of companies pull this shit.

when companies go overboard, reactions like from reddit api or unity pricing changes (recent examples) happen.

bots will start hitting a brand new subdomain on my web server literally seconds after creating it. looking for exploitable scripts like wordpress, usually.

it's probably more because intel hasn't dropped ddr4 yet in their new chips, and won't until late '24/early '25 with arrow lake and the new socket.

i have a some sata->usb adapters/enclosures/docks that can't be used with > 2tb drives or with 4Kn (native 4k sectors, no 512 emulation) drives. i also have a 2-bay cheap nas that can only do 2x1tb or smaller and there's no new firmware or hacks to 'fix' it even though it's linux under-the-hood.

start with hooking it back up to sata to copy anything on it you want elsewhere, check the filesystem, and run the extended diagnostics.

you can verify warranty on wd's site.

warranty exchanged drives should carry a minimal warranty or the balance of the original drive's warranty--whichever is longer.

but it was 'doa'--get a refund from seller, or via ebay's/paypal's buyer protection. don't mess around with mfg warranty, you don't need to here.

i think it would be rather trivial for them to restrict features to secure (not rooted) devices connecting to eu towers via eu carriers (perhaps also owned by eu customers)

couldn't afford the extra ticket he would have to buy to cover his weight anyway.

plenty of room on that ad to replace 'own it now' with 'rent it until the studio deletes it or we quit paying for its rights'
