Quite the opposite. Use drives from as many different manufacturers as you can, especially when buying them at the same time. You want to avoid similar lifecycles and similar potential fabrication defects as much as possible, because those things increase the likelihood that they will fall close to each other - particularly with the stress of rebuilding the first one that failed.

Has someone asked what there IS to defend if not people’s lives?

Well, the US is involved in the war, even if indirectly, and considers Ukraine a strategic partner, so one could say he’s acting against the interests of the US.

I mean, that’s all true, and yet they’re still light-years ahead of the US…

Also, in guessing this was made by an American, because nobody outside of there would call left parties liberal. Liberal parties are to the right, it’s just that the US doesn’t actually have an actual left.

He’s a cunt. Always had been, always will be.

This thing, however, is being blown up by the police unions because quickie reneged on an already done deal about the first raise for police officers in years.

It’s quite fun seeing him squirm, though 😁

Zip drives (do those things even exist anymore?) do not use tape cartridges, they are basically oversized floppies.

If you’re actually using tape drives (LTO media, presumably), just step away from the damn HP software. I manage literal petabytes on tape, and LTO media comes with a lifetime warranty. Yes, even HP branded cartridges - there’s only two actual manufacturers left, Fujifilm and, iirc, Sony.

Same for the drive, in fact - HP stopped producing them years ago, IBM is the only manufacturer left.

I don’t know for sure, I’m not an avid watcher, but I’ve seen several pretty big channels talk about this in their videos and ask people to check their subscription because it does apparently happen.

That’s the real kicker, isn’t it? “They’re stealing our jobs”… but nobody else is willing to do said jobs.

The thing is, just like software subscriptions, you aren’t buying a piece of software, you’re buying the right to use it. You can be pretty sure that they have legalese in the eula that says that your right to use the software expires with non-use. I wouldn’t be surprised if they can even let it expire by simple deciding to no longer support it.

And what do you think will happen if their license servers ever go offline?

For the longest time I never bought anything digital, but I eventually caved to steam. I still blatantly refuse to join other digital platforms, except gog where I can download the software and it works without any remote server.

Same for music: I refuse to use Spotify. I buy from 7digital and the like, where I can download either mp3 or FLAC.

[double dick dude has entered the chat]

I’m not judging, I’m curious 🙂

Was she born with it or is it Maybelline? Can she get double pregnant? Did another AI model have to give up theirs for this? Will she only ever be able to orgasm with Double Dick Dude?

Inquiring minds want to know!

I say things got a little crazy… Why does she have two vaginas?

Hmm… Wonder if the haters would avoid stalls with such stickers for fear of catching the gay…

Make it a denial of service attack!

As if any spyware worth it’s salt didn’t install itself as service with an innocuous name. Something like “Facebook” or “TikTok”.

People’s existence is not the subject of debate. Bugger off, troll.

I think it also helps that it wasn’t intentional. Nobody likes the obvious corp whoring for a quick cash grab.

It undeniably does, but what would be interesting is a comparison of how much water is needed per liter of milk and various substitutes.
