I’m kind of pissed that such obvious and preventable idiocy leads to an almost immediate liver transplant.

Yes, that’s just a lucky coincidence for him, but still…

As shown above, they don’t read the label. Ironically, you didn’t even read the screenshot that’s the cause of all of this - which disproves your point entirely.

It’s not inherent in terms of “more store=more fast”.

You could absolutely take older, more established production nodes to produce higher quality, longer lasting flash storage. The limitation hardly ever is space, but heat. So putting that kind of flash storage, with intentionally slowed down controllers, into regular 2.5 or even 3.5" form factors should be possible.

Cost could be an issue because the market isn’t seen as very large.

I still wonder, what’s stopping vendors from producing “chonk store” devices. Slow, but reliable bulk storage SSDs.

Just in terms of physical space, you could easily fit 200 micro SD cards in a 2.5" drive, have everything replicated five times and end up with a reasonably reliable device (extremely simplified, I know).

I just want something for luke-warm storage that didn’t require a datacenter and/or 500W continuous power draw.

What if, that might overwhelm you, this doesn’t answer the question at all?

You’re simply pushing the question half a millimeter to the side. Nothing more.

That’s what I’m asking myself with pretty much any “sexy” decoration.

Why put a poster of a nude girl in your locker, break room, bedroom, whatever? The only explanation I can find is performative display of (hetero) masculinity.

Because it’s not using hot steam, but vapor, it’s more like sweating.

The heat exchangers are sprayed with misted water, which evaporates and takes away heat. But the resulting vapor is still only slightly above ambient temperature and can’t be reasonably condensated.

I really wonder what’s going on in the editors minds here.

The entire premise of the article is “All experts say no, but I think yes” - why would anyone about any topic publish this? If it would be an actual debate, maybe some contrarian but actual experts arguing in favor of sentience, you could get into an argument here. But this article is blatant science denial. Climate change deniers and antivaxxers use the exact same approach “facts say X, but my feelings say Y”.

What happened to librem anyway? They used to be all the rage, now it’s nothing.

I mean, “safest” is a superlative, not a positive. It’s perfectly possible that all other pipelines ruptured three times or more.

Pff, I carve my own CPUs from compacted sand, like real men.

Unfortunately, these nerds (in the negative sense) make it often almost impossible to find “decent enough” stuff. Try finding any information about the “pretty good, but not unreasonably priced” bracket in almost any niche. Almost impossible. Unless audio equipment costs at least one kidney, it’s essentially worthless, instead of buying a sub 1000€ knife, honed by japanese virgins, you should better kill yourself, and denim that doesn’t require 400 elaborate steps to break in is literally worse than Hitler.

Another approach is to use 3-4 star reviews. These have a higher chance of being human and often contain common problems.

because that’s literally an argument Musk is pushing.

Just like children.

Also, most deaths are not immediate.

Malnutrition, HIV, even dirty water take a while to kill anyone. Arguing nobody died yet is like throwing 30 children off the roof and saying nobody’s hurt, since they’re still 5m above ground.

Your comments strengthen my conviction that you read a philosophy book and now try to emulate what you think smart people sound like.

Yes, because you’re completely missing the point.

There is literally no risk involved for them in just staying. They had their jobs, and they could easily do the right thing by just following the law. If they were to be fired, they would still get severance of some sort. In any case, it would have slowed down Elon at least for a while.

What they did instead is resigning, thus not getting severance, not being able to slow anything down, making room for obedient bootlickers, and finally they’re now unemployed.

So tell me again: how is resigning the right move? They made the world worse, and they made their personal life worse. Literally no benefit for anyone.

Your entire argument is ex post. You see the fact that they resigned as a given and try to justify that. Why can’t you see that this is not a necessary condition?

… because they resigned. Seriously, what’s your point?

If they wouldn’t have resigned, they would still have a job. And since they couldn’t have been fired easily, they would have continued to have a job for quite a while.

That’s not a complex concept, what’s so hard to understand about that?

No. They resigned from a job. They were not fired. And as long as they don’t break any rules, it’s hard to fire them.

That’s the thing, though. They’re not really taking risks.

Much of what DOGE does is completely illegal and does not go through the proper channels and processes. By simply doing their jobs and forcing everything through the proper processes, they can slow down everything, maybe even to a halt, while being completely in the right and thus can’t be fired.

Yes, it takes a mental toll, but these guys have a responsibility.
