No, I think they’re being literal. There is value that they want in your privacy.

I’m curious what query you used.

It’s people having their battery die while they wait for an open charger.

Toasting to the new year?

I didn’t say I think it’s a good thing, just that the truck guy probably think it is.

It’s supposed to be a good thing. I don’t get the context of the stickers either unless it’s just supposed to be a useless explanation of the situation.

Imma leave this here since they put it quite nicely. https://lemmy.sdf.org/comment/6818226

Also, just read their username and you’ll see it’s clearly exactly what we all think it is.

I’m not opposed to the idea of exchanging gifts… But can they be at least useful stuff that’s not going to sit on a shelf until it’s thrown in the trash?

Also, Christmas day is the worst possible day to give someone a Christmas themed item that’s not immediately consumable.

Thank you. This made no sense to me at first.

I’m aware that 90% of memes are fake or extreme versions of a half truth… but it’s fun to play along and call OP a moron for encouraging their mom to buy crypto.

I used Smart Audiobook Player to listen to an audiobook recently and it worked great.

This is a good tool for visualizing your raid needs from your capacity and total number of drives.

I’ll preface that I’m no raid expert, just a nerd that uses it occasionally.

The main benefit of most raid configurations is the redundancy they provide. If you lose one drive, you do not lose any data. It’s kinda obvious how you can have 1:1 redundancy, you just have an exact copy of the drive. But there are ways to split data into three chunks so that you can rebuild the data from any two chunks, and 5 chunks so that you can loose and two chunks. Truly understand how raid does this could easily be an entire college course.

Raid 0 is the exception. All it does is “join together” a bunch of drives into one disk. And if you lose an individual disk you likely will lose most of your data.

Another big difference is read/write speed. From my understanding, every raid configuration is slower to read and write than if you were using a single drive. Each raid configuration is varying levels of slower than the “base speed”

I typically use raid 5 or 6, since that gives some redundancy, but I can keep most of my total storage space.

The main thing in all of this is to keep an eye on drive health. If you lose more drives than your array can handle, all of your data is gone. From my understanding, there is no easy way to get the data off a broken raid array.

He might be, but I still get unpleasant vibes from how he writes.

Yeah, I’d rather not if he talks like he writes. Again, I am fully on board with his message, but he writes like someone who doesn’t know how to have a conversation with another person.

This writer seems like a proper neck beard. I 100% agree with most of what they say, but this feels like it’s straight out of 4chann

Edit: I read a few other articles of his and watch a few of his videos/interviews. This article is an extreme side of him apparently. I still think he is extremely socially awkward, he can’t hold eye contact for longer than a millisecond and struggles to answer questions in less than twenty words.

I do fully agree with almost everything I’ve heard him say. I just don’t like the way he says it.

I’ve literally never heard GUI said as “gee ewe eye” before.

You could just say UI, avoids the gooey phobia and sounds less weird than g u i.

I think those make sense as deviations. I’ve heard “my sequel” but you’re absolutely right about postgresql.

The name is kinda irrelevant like hard vs soft g in gif. People know what you mean when you say either.

But in that same vein, the creator of the “graphics interchange format” says the pronunciation is soft g, but basically everyone says hard g… So “official” pronunciation is kinda irrelevant.

I don’t judge anyone who uses whichever term they want, but I’ve just noticed the general trend in my smallish interaction bubble.

The only people I know who actually call it ess queue ell are either too new to know the “sequel” pronunciation, or the type of person you generally smell before you see.

Just think that each one of those carts is at least one fewer person in line for checkout.

I’d double check that language you need isn’t already on iPhone. They’ve added pretty much every language spoken by at least 100k people.

iPhone is really the only choice for the computer/smartphone illiterate. You can’t easily put the device in an unrecognizable state, you can’t install a launcher that drastically changes the GUI from the app store. iPhone justifiably gets tons of shit, but this is the exact use case it’s designed for. They also have really good accessibility features, and they actually work in apps.

Android has tons of benefits, and I’ve had only android for the last 14 years. I think if you are planning on removing the settings app all together, you know it’s not a great choice for them.
