If you look around and are informed then you can easily purchase drives that are designed for Nas use. I shucked three eight terabyte Western digital external hard drives and they were all WD reds, but because of the deal they were running they were $60 a piece cheaper inside of the shell than they were outside of the shell.

It’s called shucking and it happens a lot especially in the home server home lab community.

I don’t know if you’re from the states but if you are purchasing mega millions or Powerball tickets, they stop sales at about 6:45 p.m. Pacific time and then do the drawing sometime after 7:00 of the same day.

I interpreted it as you would repeat the exact same day 365 times, not that you would repeat the exact same year over and over again.

I would take the +3 charm and groundhog Day for a year. It would be really awesome to have 3 charm instead of 0, and if I could repeat Tuesday for an entire year then I could learn skills and practice things and read a bunch of books and memorize and establish a plan to purchase a winning lottery ticket, not excessive but maybe like the mega millions I don’t know, and come out of the year into Wednesday with nine figures in my bank account and a clear plan of action.

One of the features of hell is that it plainly shows you how it can get worse but never shows you how it could get better.

What did you say? Why does this look like hieroglyphics?

Probably bandwidth. You download a game or five and then you’re good for a few weeks, whereas if you are streaming media you could run through several gigabytes a day of data per customer in perpetuity.

Obviously, with streaming media there is a continuously refreshing pool of money to cover those costs as compared to games being a one-time purchase, but even with that it would still take quite a while to expend the entire revenue of the purchased game in download expenses and storage overhead.

Jack is minimally lossy. It would change the audio just from the DAC operation and the noise floor but otherwise be pretty good.

You have to watch an ad to crank your car.

Every time you bring your car to a full stop while it is running, an ad plays through your audio system and displays on your radio.

You have to watch an ad to make a phone call.

When your phone rings, it plays an ad jingle, call JG Wentworth 877 cash now.

When you send a text message or write a text post to an online system, an ad is injected with your text post so that readers in order to read what you wrote also have to read the ad.

If you have Smart lights or anything smart in your home, in order to use it you have to watch an ad.

In order to pay for something with a credit card you have to watch an ad on the credit card machine and click one of the choices that are offered to you.

Smart pillows that play hypnotic ads at you in your sleep.

Your electric toothbrush requires an ad to be played the whole time it is being used, and if you brush your teeth for less than the length of the ad, then they take a dollar from you.

Some guy comes to your house and screams logos and add quotes at you all of the time. If you try to get him to shut up he murders you and your entire family.

Replace the guy with a robot.

My problem with Pop OS is that on the two different machines I’ve installed it on it was very slow.

One of them made sense because it was an older mini Lenovo box, but the second machine I installed it on was a 10th gen Intel core i7 laptop with a Nvidia 2060 and 32 gigs of RAM and a decent one terabyte nvme SSD, and there would still be a massive pause with every click, somewhere between half a second and a second before anything would respond, and when updating or launching Firefox or anything it would always spin for a while and then pop up the sign saying this app is taking too long to respond.

Both of the devices were Lenovo devices, maybe there’s some sort of fundamental incompatibility or missing driver or something but I couldn’t cope with the lagginess of the OS.

Fedora worked swimmingly on both of them, for comparison.

I used to have very long hair and from this behind or beside people would call me ma’am and then when I turn to look at them they would correct themselves and say no I said man man.

But I’ve been incredibly fortunate, if I’ve ever Miss gendered anyone either the person I misgendered was kind enough to let it slide or didn’t make a big deal out of it.

It’s very much a nothing Burger in my life.

It’s kind of like when Justin Bieber was rocking the pedo stash and nobody said anything.

Anybody over the age of 25 was like dude that’s a pedo stash, you shouldn’t wear that unless you’re a pedo.

I have taken the A+ certification on two separate occasions and the first time I walked in with no training and aced it. The second time I walked in with no training and I struggled but I still passed.

The CompTIA certifications do get updated on a roughly 3-year cycle, but even so they’re never going to cover everything and even if you can pass the test it doesn’t actually mean that you are a competent IT person.

Yeah I only learned about that in the comments down below. I was just going off what they taught me when I took my network+ what 3 years ago?

Ethernet being reconditioned to Auto negotiate crossover connections was not covered or if it was it was a blurb and I forgot it in the meantime.

I was not aware of this!

You would also need a type A to type B ethernet cable, AKA a crossover cable.

Without that you will need some sort of switch to act as an intermediary between the two devices.

Did you get your hypercube new in the store?

Lucky! I found mine on the side of the road and I had to stuff all the strings back into it. Took me ages!

Then I got like this dinosaur infestation I had to wipe them out with a fucking meteorite, and now I’m pretty sure I’ve got humans and I don’t know what to do anymore.

I wrote it out as if it were the spec script plot of a movie.

Guys out with his friends watching the eclipse and all of a sudden some other guy walks up behind him puts an umbrella up and covers over the view right at the apex of the eclipse. He turns to look at that guy and the guy says don’t look at the Sun. As soon as he says that all of the main characters friends suddenly explode in a puff of dust.

The guy starts freaking out and then eventually they end up working their way back to the house as he has the other guy the angel explains what is going on

It’s the end of days. the eschaton. And the Sun is claiming every single person it can.

This guy claims to be your angel. To prove it he shows obviously hobbycraft Dollar store wings and a Halo that’s clearly being supported by a strand.

The guy says that there must be something going on I’m going to look at my phone as they’re driving around and right as he’s about to open up the news the guy slaps the phone down and it says don’t look at your phone.

As someone who freezes the video should be able to see a picture of the eclipse on the phone, from a camera stuck pointing up at it and everyone who looks at it to turn it off instantly explodes

Why did the angel save the man? Is the Angel actually an angel? What things happen?

The angel says that the guy is not exactly the best dude in the world. And given that is the end of days this is the last chance you’ll have to make everything right and the angel kind of goofed off a little bit so you know I got to figure out a way together to get him into heaven so that the angel also gets to go to heaven and to do that they’ve got to do some good deeds really fucking quick, well everyone that even catches a glimpse of a reflection of the eclipse Sun immediately explodes into dust.

Your powers of deduction are sherlockian and uncanny
