We didn't realize a billion of our users hate our garbage so much that they've been able to circumvent a lot of our garbage. We'll put our swarms right on fixing all the holes and making it ever more difficult to go around our garbage login requirements and garbage keylogging and our garbage ads everywhere. Trust us that we give 2 shits about the wishes of our "customers".

Shocker that rug pulls designed to pull rugs failed to put the rugs back later.

Step 1. DONE! Kick Anal Dye out the door, go "improve" Meta design Anal Dye, wish you much success there! Step 2. NOT DONE! Roll back ALL Liquid Ass garbage, all of it, trash it all with prejudice. Step 1 being done improves chances of Step 2 being done from -20% to +1%. I'm staying on old OS's on ALL my devices indefinitely. I only updated Apple TV and HomePods to the new OS, because how badly can Liquid Ass F-up speakers with no visual interface and a TV box, famous last words.

This is a great branding move for the MicroShit "family of products", it really cohesivizes the entire turd sandwich in a productively proactive way. Because don't forget, the thing formerly called Microsoft Remote Desktop is now named "Microshit Appy App". Just buy me lunch and I'll fix your branding right up and I don't even need the 100 million that went to the "vision consulting firms" that used up all the oxygen and all of the shared conference rooms for a few years.

Saving some pennies (well more but whatever) on screen replacements for human-scale tactile controls killed too many people. Accidents and not being able to figure out how to turn the heat on in the winter. So now they're back to accepting the obvious gd dm truth that buttons and knobs that do one thing well in a single fixed mode work and cheap stupid $ss screens don't. Fn morons really didn't need lawsuits and 1000 page research papers to prove it. They just pretended to be stupid.

Use these things as helpers but always check the information sources the software code the language the bullshit because they say stupid stuff with 105% confidence.

Can MS F themselves and their "customers" (unwilling slaves) harder than they already have for all these decades? Omarchy or Arch or other Linux FTW. Gaming performance is now !excellent! on Linux using Steam and various emulators, including Windows games, even if not quite on par for certain titles. The remaining issue is games that use certain activation/anti-cheat software which doesn't run on Linux at least for now (F1 2024 for ex,).

If anyone looks at TikTok's illegal hidden nefarious gathering of your biometric data (facial profiles, emotion analysis in response to viewed content etc) it's easy to understand the lack of customer enthusiasm for cameras that would be able to monitor your presence for ad metrics and your facial expressions in response to the content you watch. TV's are already monitoring all your viewing activity (if you've ever given them network/wifi access), let's also give them biometrics to tie all that into, sounds like a great idea.

Still need way more locations and chargers when many of them are broken and when it takes a long time for each car to charge and when even in metro locations you sometimes have to drive miles to queue up to charge. Maybe in another 5 10 or 50 years.

This modern-day alchemy is incredible. POS stuttery ugly-AF Java crap garbage-collected platform + POS web garbage plaform = WHITE GOLD. How amazing is that!

I only use mdadm (built-in *nix RAID software) rather than any hardware RAID controller. Hardware RAID controllers aren't necessarily compatible with one another, moving drives to another controller might not work. If you think you absolutely need the kind of battery-backup hardware RAID controllers can provide, you absolutely need to worry about proper backups anyway.

Completely true for the enterprise if you have scheduled bulletproof and *regularly tested* backups. For "normal people"/ enthusiasts, who "kind of" have recent backups, who might still lose a whole bunch of stuff if the primary storage drives fail, I feel 350% better about recommending to stick with RAID1 / RAID10 even though the cost is higher due to the mirroring. At least you won't have to panic about a second/third disk failure during very long rebuilds. Yes even RAID1 / RAID10 can fail if multiple drives from the same batch happen to have an identical flaw, so no getting around needing backups.

Same 5 year limited warranty as earlier drives and they've been testing them with integrators and early adopters for years. We won't know for sure until a bunch more years pass with millions in use, but if there were serious issues by now they'd probably pull the product.

It means you can run it 24x7. 365*24 = 8,760. I.E. these are server drives that run continuously full-time with no issues. It doesn't mean they blow up and leave a crater behind after 1 year.

Lots of articles since many years ago saying DO NOT USE RAID5 or RAID6 because the size of modern drives mean not only very long rebuilds, but a high likelihood of additional drives failing during the rebuild, which will destroy ALL OF THE DATA on the RAID device. Use ONLY RAID1 (if 2 drives), or RAID10 (if more). Yes you have to pay for full mirrored RAID and lose 1/2 of your capacity, but no you cannot keep using RAID 5 or 6 if you care about data. And if you don't care about data why bother with RAID anyway. RAID10 fresh build/rebuilds take a few days for a 50-100 TB RAID device. Don't know about RAID5 or 6 which nobody should use, maybe they do take weeks I'll never need to know.
