- Comment on Seagate just unleashed 44TB hard drives 1 day ago:
That’s the thing I am trying to point out. Like if you get lucky some of their models appear near perfect and seem to keep lasting forever.
But I’ve experienced the other side of the coin where I had a hard hardware failure on a hdd, the warranty and replacement process was insanely painful. Then when I finally got a replacement it also had a failure. Same painful replacement process. The 3rd one wasn’t even the same model but at least it worked.
One of the sister drives of the first one had a hardware failure shortly afterwards. I didn’t even bother going through the RMA process and just migrated to Samsungs.

Right, I’m never going back to Seagate. Their drives are shit. Although I did have 2 IronWolf 10TBs setup in raid and they have been going nearly 8 years nonstop now.

Bragging about how long you have been on social media is like bragging that you are the coolest kid in a special needs classroom.

It’s gonna be fun when people are sitting around a campfire talking about how bad tech ceos, wall street backed corporations, enshittification, corrupt politicians and fascism all led to the extinction of the tech golden age… as they prepare their spears to fight the next wave of machines coming to harvest them.
- Comment on Windows 12 release date in 2026 possible, with AI features that may force CPU upgrades 5 days ago:
I’ve had a Win 7 running for 12 years as a media server, never once been hacked.
ISPs and even old school Win 7 to Win 10 OSs have the old ports blocked by default that prevent “drive-by malware”.
What you are talking about is the equivalent of a Boogeyman that only exists because people are stupid about what they open up or install or allow to control their firewalls. Your points even prove that.

As long as you are not blasting away on random sites downloading every link you see then you are pretty safe. The old days of a hacker getting into your PC because you forgot to update your firewall are kind of gone.

- Comment on Ars Technica Fires Reporter After AI Controversy Involving Fabricated Quotes 6 days ago:
I’m not taking all the credit but I do hope those people who didn’t believe me in the past could rightfully take this comment, print it, pull down their pants and shove it up their ass.
It’s time to hold journalism with a higher standard and this idea that “well they do alright” and “it was only once” is bullshit sliding into madness.
Just the facts, folks.

- Comment on U.S. Supreme Court declines to hear dispute over copyrights for AI-generated material 1 week ago:
Gonna be fun times in courts as anyone can claim something was generated by AI even if an artist claims they created it.
I wonder if this will end up limited to art or can be expanded to other copyrighted works.

- Comment on New York sues Valve for enabling "illegal gambling" with loot boxes 1 week ago:
What shitty behavior? A new version of Counter Strike? Literally having a platform that sells games and isn’t beholden to shareholders? A platform that isn’t selling our data or purposely made to game more money out of people?
You click buy, that’s on you. Have an addiction then go get some fucking help and stop blaming everyone else.

Bingo. It’s also widely known across the industry that Valve has had these crates and keys for nearly a decade. No lawsuit.
