  • I feel it started before and it was like that before covid. I’m gen Z and I remember around 2017 the rise of popularity of songs about “me me me being the #1 gang banger the gangster, them bitches love me, them ni**as hating” among the people in my age group, and it sorta just grew from there.

    What I noticed during covid and once TikTok style videos became mainstream was sort of a “normalization” or acceptance of the phenomena mentioned above.

    Remember Wall-E were everyone in the future is a fat individualistic human being, connected to a bed on wheels with a screen and everyone seems to be doing their own thing with no resemblance of families, couples, friends, goals?


  • I’ve exported computer parts before and you’d be surprised that the way to declare them is not: “gaming PC” or “Macbook air 13"” in the customs form but more like “Data processing machines” and if you were to ship a motherboard, it has to be declared as “Data Processing Machine Parts” or whatever it is, with a totally different code and classification, same thing for memory devices, for CPUs and even for storage devices.

    So yeah, I have a feeling they won’t even bother covering all the angles and just allow assembled computers, phones (since the US made iPhone is impossible at this point) and “chips” whatever they decide classifies as a chip.







  • Wanna make the US better?

    Look at Europe, for starters. Make walkable and cyclable cities that are designed for humans not for cars. Then have normal speed (< 200kph) trains on an hourly or even half hourly service between neighboring cities.

    I mean, for starters, there’s approximately the same distance between Los Angeles and Phoenix, than between Frankfurt and Paris, the difference is the geographic variation, climate and other factors such as Arizona and California being separated entities even though they are in a federal union, that wouldn’t make it worth it or work.





  • Basically, I specifically want cold storage, and not cloud. I will only add, not delete from it. And I don’t want it encrypted.

    I have a client with a photographic studio. To give you an estimate, his data is around 14TB of mostly camera pictures with approximately 20 years or history and the owner believe it or not, relies on multiple external hard drives for cold storage, he has a 2TB Seagate thats like 2011-2012 old which still works.

    To put in a cupboard tho, M disc is your best bet.
