One of my favorite Star Trek quotes of all time: “If the invasion had been considered a defeat Gowron would’ve been assassinated by now. He simply declared victory, and went home.”

Looking for the Perfect USB Flash Drive

I've been using some cheap flash drives for things like installing OSs and the like, but now I've picked up a Dell Wyse 3040 system to play with which only has 8gb of storage. So I'm installing the OS onto a flash drive permanently (don't worry, just for messing with, nothing of value will be lost if/when the drive craps out)....

The M.2 enclosure I have gets extremely hot during periods of extended use like installing an OS or transferring large amounts of data. Not sure if it’s a problem with other enclosures, but it’s something to consider.

You mean the SSD chipset, or the does the enclosure have a chipset, too?

It’s just a spammer

I would hope this would also apply to the live TV streaming services like Hulu+live tv, Fubo, YouTube TV, etc. I looked into some of them, and the added fees took the monthly bill from like $83 a month to over $100 a month, but you don’t know that unless you read the disclaimers since they advertised it at $83 a month.

This isn’t the worst offender I’ve seen, but it’s still bullshit. They should never be able to advertise it at $84.99 when there are $30.99 in required fees

    Now I need a Wikihow on what makes boycotting Bud Light different from “cancel culture”

    I learned nothing, thanks!

    That’s what I do anytime some MAGA relative starts whining about something on Boomerbook: “is this that cancel culture I’ve been hearing so much about?”

    I think in order for it to be cancel culture I have to refuse to spend money on it. We should all be legally required to spend money on things conservatives love. That way we can make sure there’s no woke residue.

    I’ll never forgive D&D for what they did to that show. It was omnipresent in public consciousness for like a decade, and they fucked the last couple seasons so badly it’s now all but forgotten. It’s almost impressive in a depressing kind of way.

    I was a huge fan. Watched it from season one on. Even had a House Stark banner. Now I don’t even think about it unless I see it mentioned on social media. Married with Children and Aqua Teen Hunger Force spontaneously pop into my mind 10 times more often than Game of Thrones.

    > NSA officials told Wyden that not only is the intelligence agency purchasing data on Americans located in the US but that it also bought Americans' Internet metadata.

    Why do you need to spy, when you can simply... buy?

    We gave up our data willingly and made it easy for all the 3-letter agencies of the world. We only have ourselves to blame. 🤷‍♂️

    Yeah the scandal here isn’t that the NSA bought it, it’s that it’s available for purchase in the first place.

    Ep1cFac3pa1m ,
    @Ep1cFac3pa1m@lemmy.world avatar

    Oh I’m no fan of the NSA purchasing untold amounts of data about Americans, but seriously how can you blame them for it when the data is readily and legally available for purchase by pretty much anyone? These datasets shouldn’t exist in the first place.
