Sadly the import taxes from the states would almost double it. I think I can find somewhat cheaper drives in Germany if I looked hard though.

Drives have always been more expensive where I live due to taxes and extra “pirate taxes” they stick on anything you can store data on. But now they are even worse, so sad. $589 for 16TB Toshiba N300 was the cheapest “new” ones I could find at a glance.

Well, Diablo 2 sure has for me.
- Comment on All U.S. Social Security numbers may need to be changed following a massive breach that is already being investigated as a national threat 7 hours ago:
This is the reality in other countries. In Sweden, our “SSN” is our date of birth followed by four numbers that have different meanings depending on when you were born. During the period I was born it was an area code, and a binary of male/female and a control number. This has changed over time to not be exactly the same for newer generations. All of this information is available publicly to search for through our version of the IRS that then trickles out to various private companies that just publish it out right.
I personally have a dislike for this system, as I am a major privacy enjoyer. But people can’t really do anything with the information if they had it. If someone looks up my name and SSN, they have it, but can’t bring me harm.

Already working on it. Evergrowing collection of media of all sorts. But I’ve been working on that for decades by now.

You will own nothing and you will be happy. Bezos already laid the ground for this when he mused about everything living in the cloud a while ago. And where things are going with hardware prices, they think they can make it happen sooner rather than later, is my guess.
