"low-ID"? WTF are you talking about?

Well, there was a google paper about drive failures a few years back, but I don't think they named names...

There is. Free/Cheap energy in the form of fusion, or very cheap solar panels.
With that, you could desalinate sea water.

I'd guess

I read that somewhere.

I wrote it down, then I read it.

Partly it depends on whether you care about being able to write a certain amount of data, or rewrite the blocks the same number of times...

Most consumers of hard-drive services care about how much data they can safely store and retrieve and the speed & cost of the device, not how many times they can rewrite a flash block before it fails...

Sequential I/O with big write sizes can be pretty fast (~180MB/s) on modern large drives. SSDs can be ~4x that, so the tests would only take ~4x as long for similar data sizes.

What friends? I'm a programmer, damn it!

At work I've got two 2560x1440 displays (27" dells). I run one horizontal, and one vertical. It works out pretty well.

The headline is wrong. The ISP is removing the mail server's announcement that it supports STARTTLS, and your mail client/server sends your email unencrypted.
The solution to that is using SMTPS on 465, where encryption is presumed, not negotiated. But that was deprecated soon after the RFC came out in favor of TLS. It's almost like someone was thinking ahead and wanted the internet to be less secure:

That would be awesome! It'd save me yelling it at my GF's two boys (9 & 12)...

In 50 years you never had a bulb fail? I'm skeptical...

You really think that the data is gone when you select 'delete' in the app?

It couldn't get on my network without my hard-to-crack wifi password.
But it could secretly join some neighbors' open wifi, or an xfinity wifi, or...
