Basically it's almost ensured that most multicellular life is toast.

Based on what? Look at previous extinction events, especially Permian-Triassic. The earth survived 2500ppm CO2 concentration and an 8℃ increase in temperature. Tons of species went extinct but it was very far from being a lifeless rock.

Chicxulub impact? That makes simultaneously detonating all the nuclear weapons ever produced by humans look like a firecracker.

I don’t disagree with your assessment that tons of life will be absolutely fucked. I don’t agree though that we can somehow end life altogether on Earth. I don’t even think we could do that if we tried.

Sure, why not? It’s not illegal.

You know that drive has a 1 year warranty, right?

HDDs have a bathtub failure curve no matter who makes them.

FH is more arcade than simulation compared to GT, very different feeling games.

When I was putting together my NAS, WD was selling their NAS grade drives without disclosing they were SMR. They got hit with a class action for this.

They’re all trying shady shit, no HDD will run forever, no corporation cares about you, so use whatever you want and backup your data.

I have 114TB of Seagate drives right now and they’re fine. I’d use WD too, or HGST. The fanboyism around HDDs is so strange to me.

Pilot error is a convenient way of ignoring the systemic causes of the crash.

I don't think so. I've had the same gmail address since 2004 and I don't notice it being particularly bad right now. It comes and goes in waves.

Bandcamp/torrents -> Plex -> Plexamp is my go to. I try and buy as much music as I can (especially physical) but I'll grab a torrent once in a while.

Plexamp kicks ass, I am amazed at some of the radio station mixes it does. With electronic music I've had some incredible beat matched crossfades that blew my mind.

you know nobody is reading your emails

Can't they be read by someone who's compromised whatever server the other person is using? Since email isn't encrypted, couldn't anyone who picked up the traffic on the way to your server also read that email?

Kids items have been cheaper as long as I can remember. I guarantee a restaurant you’ve been to has had two identical items at different prices, or things that are cheaper and you get more of the thing. The only thing modern about this is taking a screenshot of your cart.

I thought the innovative part was using more efficient code, not what it’s trained on.

Picked up a Rotring for my wife a while back and she constantly gets compliments on it. Really nice weight and feel to it.
