My dad would go to tech things and one time he excitedly brought a handful of them back. I thiiink they were 2gb? He gave me one and I remember basically being like idk why I would ever need this. A year later I was in college and boy did that little guy come in handy. Especially after I had a failing hard drive that refused to boot into windows so I used the USB to boot Ubuntu and recover my data.

$400 in 1985 is about $1250 today. $300 would be about $950

Namecheap has gotten into hot water for some israel stuff

I started with considerably more, down to the last 50g now, basically tying up loose ends and organizing all the “will organize later” as I move them to my new service

I started with cloud backup, it’s going reasonably. I’m using something called Jottacloud which so far has been solid for me and has a lot of different types of backups. Migrated some-odd 25000 photos, slowly getting through the rest of my stuff on google drive. Soon I’ll be below the 15g and switch to free it’ll be great then I can work on the rest of degoogling

It takes so much work and feels impossible the entire time especially while all the rest of life keeps happening. One step at a time I guess

Company I worked at a couple years back not only beat their projected earnings, but made record profits highest quarter ever. Stock prices dropped by a third

That would kill literally all indie games

Wait is there content to discuss about this? I must know, maybe I’ve been inefficient my whole life

This is something I’ve been thinking about with games and media in general. If I want something to sound/look uncanny and robotic, wouldn’t a great way to do that be the uncanny robots we have? Especially if part of it is to parody or showcase the world we do live in. Personally I enjoy the thrill of making something myself but there are some uses for these things that I think can add to the art, albeit in very small careful ways

The ethics of it though yeah I’m not going to support using ecosystem destroyer 9000s in any amount

I hope all the generations finally play their part don’t put this all on gen z

You do you, and agreed even worst case is a really minor inconvenience, but 1/50 is significantly more common than what I get cracking on the counter. I’ve gotten shell in my food once in the last several years. Plus when done right it won’t break the membrane so you don’t get any egg white anywhere until it is above the pan

I do that with all the power tools too! One time I did that with my circular saw and it made a rattling noise, the blade was starting to come loose and needed tightened. A couple of times I’ve somehow just completely forgotten to tighten drill bits and found out during the pre-use vroom. So I think it legitimately helps get a quick safety gauge before diving into using something
