This just in: Elon Musk being investigated for fixing the price of eggs.

$4.63 CAD ($3.20 USD) for a dozen extra large eggs currently.

“shutupshutupshutupeggpricesshutupshutupshutUP!”

The government IS the test run.

So THAT’s why Trump likes him so much! I wonder if his techniques are transferable to the golf course?

Sounds like a new target for timing attacks?

The main point is that with a regular backup regime, it doesn’t matter if SSD will lose your data if unpowered for a long time… because a) they won’t be unpowered for a long time (there’s rotation happening here, not archival), and b) you’ll have already hopefully moved off any specific piece of media before MTBF, and if you haven’t, hopefully all your devices don’t fail at exactly the same time.

So yeah: SSD isn’t for archival purposes. But archival isn’t really what we’re after here, as backup of ALL data is a possibility. It’s not like we have a monk or vellum shortage to worry about.

You missed a few terms… how about “influencer handle” instead of “pen name,” for example?

I have 3 physical backups of all my stuff, one a rotating offsite backup. The backup media gets replaced over time.

I don’t expect media (especially backup media) to last more than 10 years. But it doesn’t matter, as my NVMe backup solution of today looks nothing like my spinning rust backup solution of 20 years ago, despite holding all of that data.

People still read physical books and magazines?

Wouldn’t that be fitting? After all this, Elon comes to Canada and is put away for life for defrauding the Canadian government.

Fails to mention he also was selling the discs online.

But they want to sentence him for 15 years for this, even though his actions likely saved lives during the height of COVID if the allegations are true; if they aren’t true, he harmed nobody because those 10 million people wouldn’t have seen the movies in theaters anyway.

Narrator: They won’t.

Well, Usk is a Canadian citizen, so is allowed to buy cars in Canada. Even his own.

Welcome to 2014, Trump.

My lesson in this was way back when LinkedIn came out with an app. I installed it and the first thing it did was ask me for all my contacts and start pinging tracking servers. I uninstalled it immediately and avoided apps for web services after that.

Later that year, I found that if I HAD allowed that app to do what it wanted, it would have grabbed all that data and sent it to the company, who was selling it off to third parties. They got in a big class action lawsuit for it.

Those were the days. Now it’s just expected behavior.

I wonder how China will react. Plus for them: no trans character. Minus for them: replaced with Christian insurgent.

Yeah; unfortunately on that particular computer, it’s the only modern browser that still functions. I don’t trust it with anything.

If the question had been “what trustworthy browsers do you use?” I wouldn’t have mentioned it.

On one of my OSes, I still use Brave.

Thing is about trade marks… if the terms can be shown to be in common usage, the mark is struck down. Like Kleenex and Xerox.

So let’s all start talking about privacy invading cameras as being flocking stupid.
