I have an original external Zip 100 SCSI which got a bit flaky in the end, but had seen very heavy use in the '90s, a Zip 250 ATA in a PowerMac "Snakebite" dual 450MHz G4 which works fine, and an external USB Zip drive (either 100 or 250, can't remember) that was my girlfriend's, who's now my wife, which also works fine. They really were revolutionary when it came to cost per megabyte and performance.
ExFAT has other useful features for applications that stream data to storage (e.g. recording audio/video). It's a lot more efficient than FAT32 for these applications.
I've got a Lenovo notebook with a Qualcomm Snapdragon X (not even an X Pro or and X2), and it easily beats Intel i5 notebooks in raw performance on plenty of things written in plain C or C++ with no ARM-specific optimisations. But on top of that, it does it without getting hot or needing to spin the fans up. Even when it doesn't come out faster, it's still far more pleasant to use, being running cooler and quieter while being lighter and having better battery life.
They never called the Windows Server operating system edition
"Never ascribe to malice what can be adequately explained by incompetence." Microsoft is probably using AI to review all the people with signing keys, and it hallucinated a reason to terminate his account. They've been blindly trusting their AI for all sorts of things it can't do properly.
Warren Buffett and Richard Branson seem to be OK for billionaires as well.
Fuck that. The whole reason that I buy Samsung is because they have viable alternatives to all the Google apps. Google is a shit company and completely untrustworthy.
I use Samsung Messages. It works fine for SMS and MMS. Samsung Smart Switch copies your message history across when you get a new phone. You can disable the RCS and AI crap. I really don't want to be using Google applications if I can avoid it. I don't want them getting their dirty mitts on my data. One of the best things about a Samsung phone was that there were alternatives to all the Google crap. There's no reason to buy Samsung if they're moving away from that.
Nah, it's supposed to be to verify that you haven't given the device/account/whatever to an underage person. It's to verify each year that the current user of the device/account/whatever isn't underage, not just the person who was using it the first time age verification was done.
Why do US politicians seemingly love to cut off their nose to spite their face so much? I can't think of another country where something as stupid and wasteful could happen without enough public outrage that it would result in the government being removed one way or another.
China isn't the one running a ham-fisted trade war, starting multiple shooting wars wars and threatening to annex their supposed allies. The USA is screwing over everyone. China looks like the safer bet at this point.
Yahoo Mail is still a thing, and they run news aggregation sites in a bunch of regions, often partnering with a local TV station or newspaper.
People joke about Linux being unstable, and having usability issues, when was the last time a major Linux distribution completely bleeped home directory access? I've never seen it, and I've been using Linux since 1999, maybe 1998. Let's be clear, you could do through incompetence, but that's of your own destruction, and if you did, you could easily get it back.
Off the top of my head, a RHEL/CentOS 7 update package for GRUB rendered a lot of systems unbootable. SuSE used to use ReiserFS by default, which had a nasty habit of pulling in anything that looked vaguely like directory data when you did a scavenge, so you had to ensure you never had a disk image of a ReiserFS volume anywhere, and hope you didn't have anything that looked similar enough. There have been plenty of breaking bugs in Linux distros.
You heard about this kind of stuff happening in the US before AI. You're a police state - the police act with impunity like this, destroying innocent people's lives and facing no consequences. You should remind all those legal gun owners of their responsibility to overthrow the tyrants.
If a Prius can tow stuff, that's a change from the previous situation. Back around 2007, the Prius wasn't approved for towing at all in Australia.
If you do something right once, someone will ask you to do it again.
