Quite the opposite. Use drives from as many different manufacturers as you can, especially when buying them at the same time. You want to avoid similar lifecycles and similar potential fabrication defects as much as possible, because those things increase the likelihood that they will fall close to each other - particularly with the stress of rebuilding the first one that failed.

Has someone asked what there IS to defend if not people’s lives?

Well, the US is involved in the war, even if indirectly, and considers Ukraine a strategic partner, so one could say he’s acting against the interests of the US.

He’s a cunt. Always had been, always will be.

This thing, however, is being blown up by the police unions because quickie reneged on an already done deal about the first raise for police officers in years.

It’s quite fun seeing him squirm, though 😁

Zip drives (do those things even exist anymore?) do not use tape cartridges, they are basically oversized floppies.

If you’re actually using tape drives (LTO media, presumably), just step away from the damn HP software. I manage literal petabytes on tape, and LTO media comes with a lifetime warranty. Yes, even HP branded cartridges - there’s only two actual manufacturers left, Fujifilm and, iirc, Sony.

Same for the drive, in fact - HP stopped producing them years ago, IBM is the only manufacturer left.

You may have made up the numbers, but I have actually seen HP inkjets for 50€. I do not believe it is physically possible to produce and distribute them at that price without taking a loss - don’t forget that that price includes the seller and every middleman’s profit margin.

I don’t know for sure, I’m not an avid watcher, but I’ve seen several pretty big channels talk about this in their videos and ask people to check their subscription because it does apparently happen.

That’s the real kicker, isn’t it? “They’re stealing our jobs”… but nobody else is willing to do said jobs.

See, there’s your problem, you don’t know what you’re talking about.

Time to open your eyes and look at what the actual left wants and does, instead of the one in your imagination. While you’re at it, do the same for the parties you do support, and check if what they’re realizing actually matches what they’re promising - and if that actually helps people instead of just the wealthy.

Hey, Tony, I’ll give you five bucks and a swift kick in the nuts for Sony. It’s the best offer I ever made for it!

Ik ben Vlaming. Je parle français, English, ein bisschen Deutsch, och jag talar bara lite Svensk. La plupart effectivement appris pour aller en voyage, aussi bien que quelques mots de lituanien (long oublié), et je sais toujours me présenter et commander deux bières en slovaque.

Dvo pivo, prosim!

And they didn’t mention politics at all, they said not everyone wants to be reminded of the orange shitstain. I agree with them.

About bloody time. MS should have been forcibly split up back in the early 2000’s when they lost the antitrust case about internet explorer.

Paywalled.

Go to boardgamegeek and search for deck builders. Dominion is a pretty strong one. On the more comedic side, I do enjoy wiz-war. Munchkin is a classic.

Technically, no, but then they need another source of revenue, because servers at that scale aren’t cheap.

Microsoft bought it. They’re not going to let their paying userbase of millions of coders evaporate…

What we need is a generation of politicians who understand that public services don’t lose money, they cost money - because they’re a public service, not a business. This mindset about “illegal riders” is all wrong. Imagine having to buy a ticket to use the pavement.

The check doesn’t cost you anything, why do you care? Do you think edge isn’t checking every time you start up the system or windows calls it for some reason?

I suppose that is because you have to have a default browser. Well, strictly spaking you don’t, I suppose, but some things are going to stop working.

It’s not up to Firefox to scan your system for a list of browsers to offer you, so I suppose this is the easiest way.

As someone else said, just open up the browser you want to be default and check the option there.
