black friday died when it became a normie holiday for sales. part of the reason why black friday worked before hand was that buyers are 100% aware of the product theyre buying and how much it is valued. anythings a “sale” if you’re selling it to an audience that doesn’t know what it was normally priced.

to be fair, the drive in question is a NAS drive, which is not a backup drive by its intended default usecase, unless you slapped it in a nas thats stored as a cloud storage in an offsite location.

its just a matter of people understanding that data redundancy is not a backup, just a level of data safeguard, as it only partially covers some of the forms of data loss and not all of them (e.g not immune to physical methods of data loss like fires, floods and stuff)

tldr for people

80% of people who took said Vaccine (theres 3 being tested in various first/booster configurations) have antibodies against HIV.

6% developed varying levels of hives/rashes ranging from weeks to years. Currently unknown what in the HIV/mRNA usages causes the rashes.

not yet, but the wikimedia foundation has been fighting against it expecting that it would be a class 1 site and require it.

ah from shady porn sites, like spotify and wikipedia. definitely protect kids from porn there. /s

like git repositories, AUR in its name itself says what it is, a User repository. its trust like repositories is fully based on how much you trust the user who uploaded it

cant you go to like about:memory and it breaks down whats using ram?

i mean there’s a shit ton of unskilled labor out there whose vertical reach isn’t that great.

people are always resistant to changing habits

if you have a garage, design a method to basically ensure your garage door is closed without you needing to go back to check.

of course if you trust yourself with never making that mistake.

last thing you want to feel is if you remembered to close the door or not and youre already far off

confidential cpus are typically engineering samples, usually given to motherboard companies to work on bioses for the cpu generation and meant to be returned to the company after done. engeering sample cpus can be missing features, lower clocks and such that the retail varient may have.

as for geneeation of cpu, its easier to find out via what motherboard socket it is

on thecontext of finding second hand, i wouldnt say its common, but can happen. some chinese companies sell dirt cheap ES cpus for basic computing.

the ilm says lga 115x, so its either 1156(1st gen), 1155(2nd or 3rd gen), 1150(4th and 5th gen) or 1151(6th to 8th gen)

it was less illegal and more the dev took money to quit it.

pia is terrible for privacies for government (five eyes country host), but its a fine budget option for privacy against business (piracy).

its an okay vpn as long as you are fully aware on what youre paying for

ive seen this running endeavor on my media nas box, so I think its a plasma issue, as it didnt happen before when i had it running debian with i forgot which DE and version.

it sets the physical brightness of my monitor down and actually affects when i switch inputs to my windows based conputer

this would be an upgrade to the baseline expectation

the first step if you have 0 clue is find out if the switch you have can be hacked via software. yhr ones yhat can be hacked via software, are the ~20M switched produced before May 2018. If your switch was made after (e. g model with the better battery life switch lite, switch oled, the few patched oh switch after 2018) it requires a hard mod to hack, or alternatively use a switch cart.

firmware for the switch im particular doesnt matter much unless youre hacking it with pegasus(?), which means you had an ancient swotch that eas never updated past like fw 4.0

though if you had a bad experience with jailbreaking nintendo stuff, I dont recommend it unless youre willing to learn about the upkeep about how to handle updates and stuff. the switch is alightly harder than previous devices (and imo isnt a high bar, but if you had problems with previous devices, its not looking good)

i broke debian on my plex server and said fuck it and migrated to endeavor because im more familiar with arch

its actually the sole reason why i ended up paying for plex myself. its not because on ME that i ended up using plex, its moreso everyone else that I want to give my server access to with the least amount of hurdles that made me ultimately go that route.

how I see it is what one intends to use the software for. for ones self, and for commision work, the other options are perfectly fine (and imo encouraged). the sole reason why someone would use the adobe products is if theyre looking to work in a company already using the suite, or they already just happen to have the skillset already in it, and switching would change workflow.

anyone learning from the start imo should consider the other options first.

to most people (including myself, who did take college level modern physics. course), explaining the standard model of elementary particles, is way too high of a level regardless.

its like being given scifi names and terminology, and then suddenly finding out theyre real.
