Do you mean Claudia Sheinbaum representing Morena?

Sure it does, but you were directly trying to blame the company, and not the government that screwed it up. Stop shifting goalposts.

That's why you use multiple drives with bitrot protection. Modern SSDs and HDDs have protections against bitrot built in, including internal checksums.

If you are running your hard drives once in a while, then bearing failure isn't really a concern. You probably should be doing that anyway to refresh the data and make sure it doesn't degrade. Regardless people have had 10 year old drives of older spin up first time. It's not likely you are going to have a mechanical issue on multiple drives anyway.

If you refresh an SSD once every couple of years it will last decades.

You keep doing this thing where you presume I don't know about some issue. Rather I know about these things, but they have fairly easy mitigations or are already solved.

They were forced to sell under threat of eminent domain. That's why they tried to sell it for $1 along with a list of conditions on what it could be used for to highlight the danger. The Government then rejected this offer. Rather than trying to blame some random company just because you think all companies are evil, maybe go and read the history instead.

Yeah that's immediately what I thought whem reading it. The company did the right thing, it's the government who wouldn't listen to reason.

Hard drives break down from use, not from sitting around. We aren't talking about SSDs which while they don't break down will experience data corruption over time. It's not really a gamble at all with mirrored drives.

You're also telling me things I already know. I already use ZFS. I agree that you should be using something with data integrity protection. Though ZFS isn't always what you want for archival purposes.

Modern hard drives come in 20 TB or larger. 4K movies don't need to be anywhere near that big either with modern compression technology.

I think we are talking about archival storage rather than storage in use. In which case hard drives can last decades.

Maybe, but there is definitely something wrong with you lmao

areyouevenreal , 5 days ago to Lefty Memes in While you were worried about socialism…

I know how you are acting now, and you are acting like an insane person or a troll, or maybe both.

areyouevenreal , 5 days ago to Lefty Memes in While you were worried about socialism…

Your programming told you to expect a thought terminating quip because I challenged your paper thin grasp on reality.

Not at all. You haven't demonstrated you have any grasp on reality. All you've proven is you aren't willing to behave rationally and are probably insane.

Next you will seek affirmation.

Why would I seek affirmation from someone who is nuts?

And you think you are? Literally one of the most salty people I have met. You aren't convincing anyone.

Are you okay? How is this in anyway a response to what I have said. You are just being rude, and acting like a troll.

There are a million fucking problems, each require their own solution. Each need to be defined, examined, and tested. No one can sit there and say, "just do this."

This is obvious and I never claimed otherwise. You are reading things into what I have said that aren't there. Different solutions will always be needed for different problems in different contexts. That's like engineering 101, and should be applied to politics and economics more.
