Old cable TV and satellite boxes often have hard drives, I think I used to find 500gb drives in there. But they have TONS of usage. I think I paid $1-2 for them.

I buy them, and floppy disks too.

Back on the mid 2000s I had a PSP, it was awesome. I hacked it and ripped all my games to the memory, so I can have all my games with me. I didn’t like having to bring the delicate UMD, so hacking it really made the device ultimate for me. Also I mostly collect physical games, really don’t like digital only. This gave me the ability to have both.

So happy I went with a steam deck

Depends on a lot of things. I’m no expert but here is what I can throw in.

Is this a new cat? Maybe it needs training.

Is this new behavior? If it’s something new then maybe the cat has a medical problem. Our cat was clogged and the vet needed to do surgery.

Maybe they are poking a hole in the lithium battery

The worst is waiting all day long, and they never call.

The sun has been raising earlier so I have been waking up earlier. Today woke up at 6am

I played single player thousands of hours since the Xbox 360. I own maybe 10 copies of gta 5. Sad they never released the DLC.

Maybe in 5 years when it’s $20 I might pick it up. But the hype isn’t there for me anymore.

They blocked Linux on gta 5, so I lost interest in gta 6. Hurts me, but their greed with gta online kind of killed the series for me.

You really think these companies are inventing this stuff for your benefit? They will read your mind and force ads into your head so they can profit. It’s all about their profits.

99% of jobs I applied to had no reply. Even when I would follow up several times they don’t answer.

One single job had an interview and I had a migraine and failed.

Basically every job I had was being at the right place at the right time and talking to the right people. Just chatting and saying I did X, Y, and Z. They come back with want to work for us? You start Monday.

The job market is crazy.

During the API stuff: I wiped all my posts and closed my group. Don’t think they ever sent that message to me. I hope everything stayed deleted. But I won’t dare to log in ever again.

Off really isn’t off anymore, more like standby and it can still send data.

I just moved across states.

I took everything apart, packed the equipment in boxes using tons of padding. Any extra space in the boxes was filled with extra cables and more padding. Rack mounts that I have come completely apart.

My main servers have hard drives, so I used a lot of foam all around the server and added trackers (air tags) to the servers and my camera stuff.

I’m now off grid so not really in a hurry to setup all this stuff, but happy it seems to have made it here in great condition. Eventually I will setup the rack mounts just to hold the equipment and maybe I will power on things here and there as I feel like playing with them again.

They lost me when they discontinued snap cam on the computer.

I use krita way more than gimp

I agree completely that open source can be audited by anyone, but I did read something tried to be sneaked into an update, and you never really know, software is complicated and maybe some roundabout way to have an exploit using code that looks like it’s intent was something different.

I was reading how the us gov tried to plant something in an update.

For all we know, Linux could be just as compromised…
