Thinking about it, it would be nice if when formatting a partition on mlc based drives, you could specify the number of bits per cell used. So an 8tb QLC drive could be formatted as a 2tb SLC for those who want the resilience, without having to commit to it permanently.

I’m sure there are technical reasons that would be difficult, but everything started out difficult until we figured it out.

I put that out but the stupid chicken choked while I was looking for a YouTube video 4:42 long

Post submitters would have to get a cut to encourage them to post OC on the pay subs and file takedowns if anyone else reposted their content elsewhere. I think it could only work for single user subs.

One of Googles biggest competitor’s is the company “Meta” which is phonetically similar to the judges name. The previous commentator made a joke where they appeared to confuse the corporation for the person. A situation that would be absurd if true, and from there the humour arose.
When a respondent (you) appeared to miss the subtext in the comment, and took it at face value, I made a post where I gave the impression I had made the same mistake , and suggested that the judge had previously had a name phonetically similar to “Facebook” which was the name previously used by the corporation now called “Meta”.

Such a situation would require a coincidence even more implausible and absurd than the first, and was intended to demonstrate that neither comment should be taken seriously.

Your comment indicates you either failed to identify the absurdity, possibly due to confirmation bias following your previous response. Or you are attempting to “up the ante” by erroneously taking such absurdity seriously for further humourous effect. Your follow up comments elsewhere suggest the former.

Regardless, the “joke” has now been thoroughly killed by way of explanation. You can choose to accept the explanation or choose to remain in error.

Because their maiden name is Judge Fasbuk?

That makes sense, although I must have just missed it, for people I work with to catch it.

A lot of people I work with were affected, I wasn’t one of them. I had assumed it was because I put my machine to sleep yesterday (and every other day this week) and just woke it up after booting it. I assumed it was an on startup thing and that’s why I didn’t have it.

Our IT provider already broke EVERYTHING earlier this month when they remote installed" Nexthink Collector" which forced a 30+ minute CHKDSK on every boot for EVERYONE, until they rolled out a fix (which they were at least able to do remotely), and I didn’t want to have to deal with that the week before I go in leave.

But it sounds like it even happened to running systems so now I don’t know why I wasn’t affected, unless it’s a windows 10 only thing?

Our IT have had some grief lately, but at least they specified Intel 12th gen on our latest CAD machines, rather than 13th or 14th, so they’ve got at least one win.

The trick is to say “Linux sucks! It can’t even X!” Where X is what your issue is preventing. You’ll get the answer, to prove you wrong.

Do the adverts still work? I’d hate for people to miss out on the full experience.

“Digital librarian”

So that’s why the LHR graphics cards were a bit cheaper during the boom

When I was about a year old I found a bottle of Tabasco and got the lid off. Wondering what was inside I peered into the bottle and shook it.

Or so I’m told. I have no memory of it but my parents had it burned into theirs.

I didn’t like it apparently.

Last mile at least, with equal access rules in the exchange

At the very least, nationalise the last mile.

I’m aware of the community this is posted in, but my kid talks to her grandparents via the chat features in Google photos. Works over WiFi with specific contacts and no phone number required. It lets her show them pictures she’s drawn.
Google are involved of course, but there’s no algorithm pushing promoted posts or any of that BS

Malware is free too

Feels like a “render unto Caesar” non problem
