My HDDs run 24/7 without spin up btw. I’m just talking about the costs. My drives don’t fail that much as yours. The recent drives that failed were WD Blue that were very old and only used for backups. And yes, all backups were still readable, even the drive was reported as failed. Compare it to SSDs that often fail “spectacularly”.
There is a lot of power to waste for the savings you made, when not buying expensive SSDs (20€ a year is not much). Where we use HDDs, we don’t care about noise. Durability? We use huge RAID systems with lots of redundancy.
I personally like to swap new drives after 5 years to avoid failures. So when you find a 16 TB SSD for 350€, you send me a message.
Programs are mathematical proofs. If maths cannot be patented, software can’t be, either.
Most antivaxxer think flu is a cold.
The exact group which is officially declared as “evil” does not matter. Using a scapegoat is the point. Hiding complex problems and present “simple solutions”. People are scared of problems they cannot solve themselves. They want someone to solve them.
Next time buy from vendors who use USB flash drive or bootable CD-ROM.
That doesn’t make sense, because Android is quite open. You can literally download apps everywhere from the internet.
The only thing that you’re not allowed to do is to take advantage of the Google store and circumvent their microtransaction system. If you want to have own microtransactions, do it on yourself.
Many people have f-droid installed. And you can freely download Android apps from the internet and install them. Where is the anticompetitive behavior?
No wait. They should elect Putin, then invite him for a celebration.
Wait, I thought the terminal/shell was the modern UI…
I’ve been using vim/neovim for more than a decade. Here are my favorite plugins (ranked):
I have never needed iMessage in my life and I haven’t even seen it. Proprietary messaging apps are not trustworthy.
You should notice that I use the word “trust”. I install stuff on my servers and PCs from people who I trust. Why should I trust someone who makes an anticheat engine. Why should I have a reason to do that?
You should also understand that a kernel-level piece of code that can be updated is a very good rootkit. It contains all essential tools to modify hardware, kernel, install drivers, keyloggers etc. It satisfies the definition of “rootkit” very well.
One single piece of code is enough to be a rootkit.

Popular definition (e.g . Ionos):
Rootkits: The rootkit is considered to be a type of Trojan horse. Many Trojan horses exhibit the characteristics of a rootkit. The main difference is that rootkits actively conceal themselves in a system and also typically provide the hacker with administrator rights.
If you compromise your system with software that you don’t know and potentially can introduce a backdoor (even involuntary via bugs), you have a rootkit installed.
If you don’t trust it, don’t install it with admin privileges. Maybe don’t install it at all. Anticheat is a shady business. And mostly not owned by the company that produces the maybe trusted product to be protected.
Anti cheat = rootkit. You should not install it at all.
Thanks for the lesson… haha
Of course, but OP wanted to implicate that this worm stays local in a network. You need an USB stick to carry it over.
I can only use Xmonad as a window manager, so I’d like to avoid Wayland. But what Mozilla enables as default is fortunately not relevant.
I’m a total newb when I use GUIs. I need max automation… I don’t really know how to do this. Also… I never had issues with drivers. And on Windows there is almost nothing installed. You need to install stuff by using a browser … horrible.
