Where were you during the last two or three months ? And during the 75 past years ?
Do you really think that bombing civilians, hospitals, secourists (medics ? Remember I'm French) has something to do with retaliating against Hamas ?
What do you think of IDF snipers killing two Christian women in their church ? Were they working for the Hamas ?
Did you see this video of benjamin netanyahu, in 2019 I think, in which he explicitly declares funding the Hamas because it's the only way to avoid a two states solution to the conflict ? Let me help you. Don't tell me they want to erase the Hamas. Go read and view real journalists work.
And benjamin netanyahu has a great part of the responsibility for what happened on October 7th, because many sources are saying that the Israeli gov or the IDF had the intel about what was gonna happen few days before it happened.
Also, did you see the projection of building construction over the ruins of the Palestinian towns ? Another phase of the colonization, another method compared to the west bank. Not really surprising in fact that the USA support such atrocities.

[disclaimer : I French, and I may have few difficulties to express my thoughts on such matters, in a clear and simple way]

I don't understand why your post is scored -1 and labelled as Troll.
While in fact, it exposes truth.
Israel has a genocidal government
They are bombing civilians, killing babies, journalists, doctors, etc, against every international laws
They kill by the tens of thousands
And they explicitly stated their goal : erase the Palestinians from the surface of the country
And the US are sending weapons and money, counting in billions of $. For what again ? I can't remember

And those who expose these facts would be antisemitic ? While Israel gov behave exactly like the nazis did against Jews ?
Those who think that are unable to distinguish between a Jew and a Zionist. Many Jews, and many Jews in Israel are against the killer in chief.

Oh fuck all this, let's erase the entire human race, it has demonstrated how stupid, cruel, and suicidal it is.

And let's boycott Intel while we wait for a complete atheist apocalypse !

The sooner the better !
I was about to post something like "OK, god(s) turn now" !

I think we're talking about Arthur Andersen here, aren't we ?

"Windows is a cancer that attaches itself in an intellectual property sense to everything it touches"

Is it possible to extract statistic about the #GSOD problem from the data ?

Feeling old

That would be funny if not that sad : this guy worked for Shell and McKinsey. No need to say more ?

Since when ? There are many people that should be behind bars here. One of the most iconic case where the "justice" has been bought: Bernard Arnault (LVMH) hired former secret services Squarcini (former, but still using his former connections) to spy on François Ruffin, his very small newspaper Fakir and some employees. The price for tranquillity ? 10 millions €. While Squarcini is still investigated and sued.
In the same time, that's jail for protesters, or people who steal food because they starve, not earning enough to eat.
This week, that a journalist who published proofs of crime by the French defense department. Now, police, justice and government are going after the sources. Democracy you said ? Ah ah ah.
We need another July 14th, but will we have enough guillotines ?
I know, I know, right after panem et circenses.

For me, that's the key word.
It's been a simple capitalistic, neo-liberal recipe :

- cut funding, push employees out, "forget" pay raises
- say "oh, look, it's not doing well, we must save money"
- rince-repeat

Apply to education, transportation (trains, buses) ...
Since they did it sooner than us in England, they now realize how dumb it was. And, last I heard, they are thinking of nationalizing back trains companies
Ah, and healthcare: in France, many ER had to close, because of a lack of personnel, nobody wants to work that lot for less and less money (remember ? Inflation). And dozens if not hundreds of people died this summer, waiting in corridors on hand-barrows, sometimes for more than 40 hours.

When done, in the end, give it all to the private sector.
Yes, I was talking about public services. The private sector has nothing to worry about so far. In France, we're at a f**cking insane level of free money: around 200 billons € every years. Cut few taxes^Wcontribution to national solidarity here, give free money to create job but forget accountability there, etc.

Capitalism, neo-liberalism kills

So far, I guess AI is useless against #GSOD?

I know, we all have our specific bad batch. And on the other side, we all know that guy that say : "I never had any problem with the IBM 75GXP nor the 60GXP".

But ...

The worst in my case : Seagate. I used their drives for more than 10 years, ending the series with 3 x 10TB Ironwolf. Believe it or not, I began to have strange bugs and crash on this computer running Linux 24/7, while the S.M.A.R.T. parameters (the ones linked to the drive health, reallocated sectors, etc) were ramping up (and that started right after the first power on).
I changed almost everything, SATA cables, CPU/MoBo/RAM, first price GPU just for text console, power supply, the case too, even running the whole computer outside a case. Still crashing.
I replaced the 3 Seagate drives by 3 WD Gold. Since then, it's running like a charm, no crash at all, and all the S.M.A.R.T. parameters are quiet, staying at zero.

Special note for the Baracuda and Baracuda XT. I have some 3TB that seem much more reliable than all the other Seagate I had.

Seeing those Backblaze stats comfort me, WD and only WD now, even if they are a bit more expensive.

China has been in love with the 8051 since ... Decades ? Many products use this chip still nowdays.

"La révolution". Or may be "La Révolution" if you refer to the most famous one

Things have changed since 1789. As many others, we are internet drug addicts, very good for revolution through keyboard. But that's not going very far.
And those who have the guns, or weapons, now are the police and the hunters, both fascists and on ma€ron's side. Wait, I forgot to count those who are not policemen nor hunters, but are just fascists.

By the way, what's authorizing you to call UN Blue Helmets homos ? Would you say that face to face to one of them ? And even then, what if he/she really were homo ?
