It's raid rebuild times.
The bigger the drive, the longer the time.
The longer the time, the more likely the rebuild will fail.
That said, modern raid is much more robust against this kind of fault, but still: if you have one parity drive, one dead drive, and a raid rebuild, if you lose another drive you're fucked.
Huh. I've been part of a couple dozen ones and I don't think I've ever seen more than a couple of dollars. I THINK the biggest settlement was $22 or $23 or something like that.
Nice to know that, in theory at least, you could recover what was wrongfully taken from you.
Gonna disagree here.
Humans have always had "social media", but it's not been directed by a cadre of oligarchs until recently.
I mean shit, humans have been sitting around the campfire telling stories to each other going all the fucking way back to forever. Sure, a campfire story isn't a tweet, but for our monkey brains it's essentially the same thing: how we interact with our social groups and learn what's going on around us.
The problem is that the campfire stories couldn't be manipulated into making your cavemen neighbors hate the other half, because half of them were totally pro rabbit fur while you're pro squirrel fur.
You absolutely can do that and worse now, so while we've always had social media, we just simply never had anyone with enough control to make an entire society eat each other because of it's influence.
Has there ever been a class action settlement that actually made all the people who were harmed whole?
Because somehow I doubt it.
New title: Rich guy who has bought his way into everything in his life admits to buying his way into boosting his accounts, internet expresses great lack of surprise.
I'm sure it'll be free from Epic Games in like 4 or 5 years like every other game I've been playing recently, so meh.
Bleed them impatient whales, I guess?
It's the only way they're going to figure out what he had for breakfast, so what else are they supposed to do?
In the immortal words of Nelson Muntz: Ha Ha.
So while not entirely related, I have a question.
I've got a Windows 10 box hooked to my TV and you're right, it's great.
Until you end up with fonts so small they're unreadable, even with a 300% scaling on the 4k TV because it seems like every third random gaming piece of software just fucking ignore scaling.
You ever find a working solution to that?
My ass is old, and trying to do couch gaming from a PC means it's a 50/50 chance I'm either squinting and giving myself a headache or having to walk over to the tv to read whatever stupid shit some game has decided to use 8pt font for.
If this happens I'm now personally blaming you.
Just send your ID in and they'll authorize Unlokr to let you buy your dish soap in peace.
And frankly, even if he's not a facist himself, the CEO saying something that fucking stupid makes me think that you shouldn't trust him to run the slurpee machine at a 7-11, let alone something sensitive like your email.
