Syria no longer has the military power to pose a real threat to Turkey, so they likely wouldn't invoke article five anyway. Plus, if they invoke article five, they would then have all of NATO camped in their backyard. That would put a serious damper on any of the more egregious things Erdogan wants to get away with.

At this point, I think it's too late for that. It's time to start looking at French history for inspiration.

HDD read rates are way faster than media playback rates, and seek times are just about irrelevant in that use case. Spinning rust is fine for media storage. It's boot drives, VM/container storage, etc, that you would want to have on an SSD instead of the big HDD.

Isn't the second part of this meme supposed to be something that is not true?

I'm learning to hate it right now too. For some reason, its refusing to upload a local image from my laptop, and the alarm that comes up tells me exactly nothing useful.

It's Texas Republicans we're talking about here. I'm not at all convinced that they can.

A counter example that came to my mind is rabies. Look up how that progresses. There's absolutely zero chance that I would be putting myself through that if I were diagnosed with it and it was too late for the vaccine. Assisted dying just ensures that nobody has to go through the trauma of finding my body.

What about multiplayer games? The server side is always going to be a necessity for those games.

I never really understood why people self censor their comments at all. I can't think of any major social media site that gives a shit. The YouTube algorithm cares, but that's just for the videos themselves.

Are people actually advocating for game publishers to have to keep the servers running forever? That would seem a bit of an unreasonable ask. I think a reasonable compromise would be that if they plan to shut down the servers, the publisher should have to release the server side software.

And I can't guarantee that if I swing my arms around and walk towards you, you won't get hit.
