Anyone else have a similar experience with one of these drives?

    I was today years old when I learned places like TheVerge are filled with idiots who keep work on USB media, keep no backups, and act like it’s not their fault when something fails.

      Places like The Verge used to be staffed by actual enthusiasts because they were created by enthusiasts. Now they have been sold off to another conglomerate (Vox Media) whose primary goal is to maximize profit. That means getting rid of the competent journalists and hiring ignorant gen z morons who never accept responsibility for anything. Every single problem in their life is someone else’s fault.

        Vox Media was the owner since the beginning. The founders of The Verge went to the owner of SB Nations after leaving Engadget. It is part of Vox Media since the beginning.

      They also think it’s newsworthy when they experience one hardware failure. How nice to have a platform to shout your own personal grievances from.

      iVerge has been on the decline for nearly a decade now.

      I’m surprised anyone takes them seriously at this point.
