Windows Server storage solutions. I took them out of the array and they still weren’t recognized in Disk Management so I assume they’re shot. It was just weird having 2 fail the same way.

Easier to pay down debts made up of worthless money (if you have money that isn’t worthless). If you had €100 in November 2024, you could pay off $100 debt. Right now you only need €85 to pay off $100 debt.

People will cheer the low interest rate on their plummeting dollar value debt.

“you want to short the federal government??? yeah we will take your money high five bro”

I think I’ve seen this movie.

You can buy inverse ETFs on bond market benchmarks. Unlike stocks though, the interest rate will tick up as bond demand (price) goes down, so the dips tend get muted as people gobble up anything over 5%>

I’ve had a couple random drop from my array recently, but they were older so I didn’t think twice about it. Does this permafry them or can you remove from the array and reinitiate for it to work?

Word for the wise, those externals usually won’t last 5+ years of constant use as an internal.

My WD Red Pros have almost all lasted me 7+ years but the best thing (and probably cheapest nowadays) is a proper 3-2-1 backup plan.

Putin is in power specifically because they settled their differences and Yeltsin was such a drunk idiot that it pushed people to vote for someone who promised stability and prosperity. Putin wasn’t very anti-West until the 2010s. I’m old enough to remember when there was mild talk about Russia joining NATO.

It’s about making LGBTQ content “adult only” and using this same mechanism to enforce ID law on that content. They’ve been doing it in some USA states for a few years now. No one wants to be the Porn Politician that votes against it.

They did this in Florida. They want you to submit a picture of yourself and your photo ID to a porn website

Seems like it’s just for their other services, which I already assumed they were tracking and selling view counts.

I’d settle for AI clipping out everyone’s redundant signatures, .gif logos, comic sans bible quotes, and everything else packed into email that people use as direct messaging. Or my coworkers could just use WebEx for chats instead of emails.

Regulation of predatory practice. Taxation on the games to pay for rehab and support services for people that experience negative effects from it. It’s really easy to do, but every single gambling operation gets the big bucks from the heavily addicted. The whales are the entire business.

The widespread deregulation of gambling in the US is heading that way too.

That’s weird. Russians and Americans aren’t sanctioned from working on projects together. The sanctions are mostly targeted towards industry and defense. Tucker Carlson works for Russian media and freely travels between the two countries. There has to be something more to this, like the IP came from a known state actor.

I could deal with the aesthetics if they kept the core function of old.reddit. But they didn’t. I see “trending” posts more than I see posts from subs I have joined and that’s what eventually has driven me from the site. Every time I log in, it’s whack a mole with random bot repost subs.
