He said so himself, so it must be true. People who disagree are publicly reprimanded by him so they must be wrong!

/s, because we’re in that place again….

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.

Said about anyone else, that would be an insult. In this case, it’s just a mild warning.

Well, to be fair, chicken pox isn’t chicken pox either; it’s just the early symptoms of shingles, a neurological disease. And it’s treatable. Measles is also treatable, but it moves so fast that you may be dead or permanently harmed before you can get treatment.

Very much this. I’ve been happily married for 25 years and expect to be for at least 25 more, and the things that annoyed us about each other when we were dating still annoy us today. But we accept that those things are unlikely to change, and celebrate the stuff that’s great.

On top of that, guys don’t tend to mature until they’re 21-25, but don’t start dating one who’s younger expecting him to change for the better; it’s more likely the common things you enjoy will change but the odd habits will remain forever.

Indeed. And standing up for yourself is NOT impolite, despite what the US Republicans seem to think.

I started on Memmy and eventually switched to Voyager.

And there it is.

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.

How does that work?

Up here in Canada, the supreme court ruled that if upper body nudity isn’t indecent for men, it isn’t indecent for anyone.

I’m curious: what’s your opinion on China’s continually improving relationship with Kazakhstan, and their plans to sever ties with Russia and become a full fledged partner in the belt and road?

You don’t get out much, do you?

The only place that narrative is still accepted is inside Russia.

Oh, and it’s not a civil war when one of the combatants is significantly made up of foreigners from Russia.

Next thing you know, you’ll be saying that Ukraine is really just a disputed Russian territory because they rejected their democratically elected Russian selected leader.

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

NATO looked like the next coming of the Axis powers to Russia and can you blame them?

Yes?

And as for the rest: Putin has a long and sordid history of ignoring treaties with former parts of the USSR. He dangles the carrot and then hits with the stick if any of the soviet states actually try to eat it.

Russia wants Ukraine to become another Belarus or Georgia. Ukraine does not want that. Ukraine is a sovereign nation and does not want to invade Russia or take its land. Neither does NATO.

After that, your argument completely falls apart. It’s no more than the excuse, but has no grounding in reality.
