That would be only 454 22TB drives, so at 670 grams each that would only be around 670 pounds of hard drives occupying 10,830 cubic inches or 178L of space.

That could easily fit into 4-5 backpacks if you're okay with your party moving at half speed due to being overburdened.

Oh good, more surveillance software disguised as a crowdsourced public resource. Is anyone fooled by this stuff anymore?

I was thinking the same. I did this in the early 2000s with an old 486, except it was dialing out with a 56k modem. It was running a Junkbuster proxy to filter out ads. Amazing that I was able to do that with 33MHz.

I'm still using my Kindle 3. It's still working fine, with the original battery and everything.

I don't let it connect to the Internet and really don't care if Amazon still supports it.

It has pretty limited mods though. I was able to get shell access but you can't do much with it. What's the most mod-friendly e-reader?

I'm in the same boat, I just assumed it was quietly discontinued and never to be spoken of again.

Alice laughed. "There's no use trying," she said. "One can't believe impossible things."

"I daresay you haven't had much practice," said Google. "Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast."

Change the headline to read "Equivalent to thirteen Chevy Sparks!"

But I don't want to use Google Messages. Is there a decent alternative? I just use it for SMS, nothing else.

It's hard to do much with a single panel and only a few hundred pixels, but political cartoons? That's a pretty low bar... Usually you can at least draw silly caricatures of politicians, but this is just a mouse with some lame punditry. That's not even very impressive ANSI art.

Reminds me of this old fossil: https://www.penny-arcade.com/c...

Be careful what you wish for, there end up being a pipeline from the great lakes to water lawns in Arizona.

Those scientists are always baffled, stunned, shocked, or bewildered. Can they get anything right?

Yes I'm still using the old Outlook but the "New" Outlook apparently has features I'd like to use, but I can't be bothered to adjust my muscle memory and learn a new UI.

However I just tried launching Outlook (new) and it directed me to stop using this and install the new Outlook app from the Microsoft Store, so there must be a newer new Outlook.

I think most people have at least two Microsoft Outlooks. A quick search of my start menu gives me:
Outlook
Outlook (new)
Plus a Microsoft Store suggestion to install Outlook for Windows, which seems to be a third Outlook.

Steam asks you if you'd like to participate via a pop-up window, so it depends on which OS you happen to be using when the survey goes out.

This means only results from active users who agreed to submit their system specs are counted. Installation alone doesn't factor into it. If you haven't seen that popup, you're not counted.

It makes it harder to write bad Javascript since it lets you catch errors earlier. Basically it's a safety net for your IDE.

The side effect of this is LLMs can generate compatible code more reliably, so you're going to see a lot more of it.
