Anyone who has said that doesn’t know what they’re talking about. Magnetic tape is unparalleled for long-term/archival storage.
This is completely different. For active storage, solid-state has been much better than spinning rust for a long time, it’s just been drastically more expensive. What’s being argued here is that it’s not performant and while it might be more expensive initially, it’s less expensive to run and maintain.
I grew up watching it. In the era of linear TV, even with cable we had maaaybe 2 or 3 other legitimate options for family TV time on that night, at that time. It was non-offensive (funny saying that about Trump now), family friendly, reality TV. I know it’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but it was well produced, and mindlessly entertaining.
Now, at the same time, while I understand for many people, “the apprentice convinced them he’s a business genius,” that’s SOOO frustrating. I completely agree with you about “his fucking stupidity.” I think the first few seasons, they cut it well to make him appear intelligent. However, as the show went on, I suspect he wanted more and more screen time, and that distracted from the actual show and that’s when we started to notice “his fucking stupidity” showing.
Wasn’t uefi a must already for windows 10 computers?
Nope, I’ve been running Win10 on multiple computers with a BIOS.
Atleast for win 11 it is.
AFAIK, UEFI isn’t technically a requirement. However, TPM 2.0 is, and that requires UEFI.
The effect to my life will be as miniscule as squishing an ant.
Assuming you’re an American, the effects will be HUGE. Our economies are sooo interdependent.
And how could this war have been avoided?
Same in Canada.
As someone who uses YouTube Premium, this title piqued my interest. While lifetime would be nice, I figured it would be at least 1-2 years, which could make this phone pretty good value for me. At 3 months, I agree, I’m not sure if it’s even work activating.
While they call it a department, it’s not a new department. They renamed the “United States Digital Service” and created the “U.S. DOGE Service Temporary Organization” under it.
The White House has said Musk and his DOGE colleagues are “special government employees.” It has yet to be seen of that arrangement is legal, but as it stands, they are part of the government workforce which is why bureaucrats are “going along with this”.
I think you’re on to something.
I also think there’s a difference in where the network effect kicks in for different types of social media. IMHO, Lemmy has just enough activity to not feel empty, and even then I wish there was more comments to interact with and more niche communities. With Pixelfed, I feel like as long as there’s enough interesting posts it makes sense for people to visit regularly.
As much as I’d like to be able to swap batteries, that’s irrelevant to this issue. Even when the battery is replaced the issue persists because it’s a software issue.
Someone has already made an issue (Repo is missing a license) so hopefully that’ll be resolved soon.
That makes perfect sense. Thanks for explaining it so well!
He’s pragmatic
Really? To me, most everything he says comes off as completely impractical. I appreciate that he came up with enshittification, and some of his thoughts are great, but most of it is pie-in-the-sky thinking that could only work in some hypothetical utopia,
Wow, you weren’t lying about them “running a very old Lemmy version.” For anyone else curious, on github, the newest version is 0.19.8, released 2024-12-13. lemmy.world is on 0.19.3 released 2024-01-22.
Nope, I don’t usually even see the word Mastodon written 3-4 times in a week. My best guessing this is because Meta-exodus has created a buzz around the fediverse, so I’m seeing more references to Mastodon, and those users are more likely to be new to the service.
What’s with people recently spelling it “mastadon”? This must be the third or fourth post in the last week I’ve seen with that typo.
The United States says it was one of three countries to vote against a U.N. resolution condemning the glorification of Nazism over freedom of speech issues and concerns that Russia was using it to carry out political attacks against its neighbors.
Ukraine and Palau were the other no votes.
I mean, maybe the Russia concern is honest, but I do wonder about Ukraine. They seem to have some neo-Nazi’s in their midst (see the Azov Brigade) and being unable to support this, or even abstain is disappointing.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t FEMA funded out of the Federal budget? Meaning if they cut FEMA, that money will just go elsewhere, not “just stay with the states”.
EDIT added clarification.
Nothing in this article is talking about cold storage. And if we are talking about cold storage, as others gave pointed out, HHDs are also not a great solution. LTO (magnetic tape) is the industry standard for a good reason!
