HDD read rates are way faster than media playback rates, and seek times are just about irrelevant in that use case. Spinning rust is fine for media storage. It’s boot drives, VM/container storage, etc, that you would want to have on an SSD instead of the big HDD.

I’m learning to hate it right now too. For some reason, its refusing to upload a local image from my laptop, and the alarm that comes up tells me exactly nothing useful.

Yes, and in that exact order.

“Elites” is about as useless a word as “woke” or “terrorist”; depending on who you ask, you will get wildly different (and often mutually exclusive) answers on what it means.

I’m also willing to bet that the blacksmith they are picturing looks very different from your average blacksmith.

To most people, it also implies wireless backhaul.

Money in banks is a freezable asset. For an organization like Hezbollah, that would be a major concern.

That may not be just head cannon. The Agatha show is kinda hinting at it.

Can’t have your bad guy be that relatable. Everyone would just be cheering against the avengers.

Expect a lot of change in Israeli-Western relations in the next 20 years

I wouldn’t count on it. Western attention spans are nowhere near long enough for that.

I think it’s more accurate to say that things become fire.

Businesses generating their own power is not anything new. The big auto manufacturers used to do it back in the day, and if you scale down the concept, every windmill (the grain grinding kind) and waterwheel built and operated for profit is the same thing. I’m just happy that Google is seemingly having their own built, instead of getting taxpayers to build it for them.

Does the balance at least accumulate until you do hit the threshold, or is the money just gone?

Depends on the device and the usage. “Smart devices” can encompass a lot of things.

I thought dodging state imposed transaction restrictions was kinda the whole point of cryptocurrencies (other than the pyramid scheme part).

Most of the “what if” scenarios that I’ve come across focus on what if the Nazis hadn’t attacked the USSR when they did. If Germany was fighting on one front at a time, the question becomes does Germany take the UK, and if so, does the US directly enter the war at all?

Worse. Terminally online edgelord.

“Yay! We’ve created artificial general intelligence!”

“…Fuck, it’s an asshole.”

And what is your proposed solution?

Pointing out the obvious problem without proposing a solution is a giant waste of everyone’s time.

Also, can’t commit war crimes if there’s no war. And Russia says this isn’t a war.
