  • Not really. Your examples work both ways to me. You can loose typewriter stuff as well, like say you spill something all over it. For film I have heard horror stories of it not recording or the film failed so same applies to that as well. If anything stuff like word files now default to save every 5 minutes and honestly if its that important it should be saved both local and some cloud location as well.

    I think both sides have pros and cons just like everything and neither are any simpler, at least to me.





  • “Inin Games later updated its official blog to remove any reference to the “new smaller cartridge sizes” it previously said Nintendo had “announced.” The publisher also backtracked in a social media update, clarifying that “there has been no official announcement or confirmation from Nintendo concerning cartridge storage capacities.””

    Oops. This is great news for the physical game collectors. I gave up back in 2020 and have been mostly digital unless its a steal to get a physical version, but I always thought it was awful that it was a dying medium. I miss the instruction books and extras from long ago. On a side note there are a few companies doing custom books for some games which is really cool.









  • Oh I know, I work in the industry as well. Our company backups alone for workstations and servers is just under 1 petabyte. This is then replicated to an offsite location which is also out disaster recovery location, and also stored in long term storage in Azure. This is just backups, sooo much money for backups haha. Thats why I am shocked that this entire company can run off of 300tb which is a lot, but nothing when you think of it being the entire business model for them.

    I think the craziest thing ive seen is we have these instruments that do genome testing and sequencing and they would create like 10tb worth of data per month. Every month they got there own 10tb drive handed to them to backup their stuff on there own on top of the ones we did for them.




  • Never used cli to install windows in the 25 years I have been dealing with it. I have used dism to remove as much unnecessary crap as I can before installing it though. It only half works anyway since the next feature release reinstalls most of what you remove anyway. These days I just use Rufus to make a bookable USB since it will remove all the requirements and other things by just checking them off as options. GUI is fine after that.
