Yea Exact Audio Copy in secure mode will re-read each sector double-checking results until it has a consistent perfect rip. It takes a little while longer, but the results are worth it.

I've lived in at least 20 residences across 4 continents and only one of those was from the 1920s.
It still had an original stove.
That stove was the fucking best shit ever. It was amazing. I swear to God I have never been able to cook bacon so amazingly as on that stove top.
I don't disagree that survivorship bias is a thing. And perhaps I had the best possible option of that era. I mean, yes with an induction top I can do great things. With an MSR dragonfly gas stove I can cook the camp a great breakfast anywhere in the world. I've cooked on wood fire stoves. I've cooked primitive fires in outback Australia and the himiliaya mountains... But there was something special about that 1920s stove that I've won't ever forget.
Bro,
I have been using Google before 2000
Had an early invite to Gmail. Got mobile search results over text message before smart phones.
Google maps didn't even launch until 2005.
Some of us went places and did things before Google+
I don't disagree that if I want to go somewhere I might search g maps.
But the search results are really shit lately.
I miss competition with several web spiders
ESU is a paid service for enterprise. They didn't even offer ESU for windows 7 home at all for any price.
Windows 7 pro ESU per device cost $50 for 1 year, $100 for the next year, $200 for the final year.
Windows 7 enterprise was per device 1 year $25, second year $50, and 3rd year $100.
Micro$oft is not going to give win10 ESU away for free and they probably won't supported home edition.
You can however bypass the win11 hardware checks to upgrade unsupported devices.

There were networks such as: EFnet Undernet Quakenet DALnet
different servers in different regions did network together.
There was a different word for 'defederation' back then: net split https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit
And it was usually from a networking issue.
I'm still salty that an IRCOP from a (now defunct) Canadian server used a net split as an attack: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/IRC_takeover
to steal a # channel from my friends and make it private long enough to sort out the bot auto bans. We appealed, but because they were an IRCOP, the other IRCOPs from the federated servers were just like, "whatever, pound sand users, go run a server if you want to control stuff like us."
Anyway, IRC was a connection of various servers run by various people/corporations/universities etc.
Yea. And most of the data is already cloud backed up anyway. Which means you can restore it. Also means it's not really your data either and someone else has access to do what they want with it.
If you're worried about losing access cuz you lost your 2 factor FIDO2 key or One Time Password or whatever you can print off "backup codes" and put them in your lock box.
But if you don't backpack your data locally then whomever you delegated backups to can cut you off at any time for any reason.
Google shut off access to this parents account after he took a photo of his child's genitals for teledoc and sent it to his wife over Google chat: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/08/21/technology/google-surveillance-toddler-photo.html
If you're going to watch DJO watch "Happy in Paraguay" and "Turbo Lift."
My wife suggested "I'm A Big Chocolate Slut" tho
This is some serious dayjob orchestra shit here
I've never had a negative experience contributing to open source.
I've also been to scrums where everyone is equal, and we have to be very PC, about explaining "processes" and "best practices" to people that break the build pipeline every single day. Eventually I just coded error handling and guard clauses into everything so no one could screw anything up by not following the documentation being a cowboy. That is a best practice, sure, but you'd be surprised by how people break things even after being warned not to do a very specific thing.
A cowboy that fixes things always 24/7 can be a maverick and talk shit.
But in todays PC world you can also be a cowboy that breaks everything always and spends weeks fixing something they themselves broke...
I wish I could say the things Linus said instead of just putting people on a performance improvement plan.
Sometimes being angry is appropriate. When I am I step back and try to figure out solution where the fuck up can't happen again and no one gets hurt.
I've seen people be VERY angry and even hands on working in jobs where fucking up can kill people.
I'd rather see anger than people dying. Did Linus go too far here? Probably, but there is a time and place for anger and being direct.

There is a reason it's slightly more expensive tho. They don't even bother to force or nag you to connect to Wi-Fi / Internet so the manufacturer can start selling data on what you watch... Sony charges a little more because the TV is for profit, instead of your data being the profit product.
They aren't all that much more expensive at Costco anyway. Also it's not like I'm buying a TV ever few years.
Shit my Sony Trinitron CRT still works. That really is buy it for life. Less can be said about Walmart specials.
