Not Sandisk. Had several just die with no recovery possible.
Kingston had a few failures but probably OK as a cheap one.
Only had one Samsung crash, so mostly sell those despite the premium these days.

Couldn’t get pregnant?

It might still be less environmentally damaging that running fibre to every starlink customer. That’s a lot of manufacturing and digging.

Time to mass produce AI based ant exterminator robots?

Hmm. How will I hack my Windows XP to activate it if I can’t search for Windows Genuine Advantage?

The great koala conspiracy!

I think nicotine does something to people’s brains, rendering them unable to consider consequences.

I have one. Don’t marry a smoker if you aren’t one. They might quit for a while but will resent you for it. It was easier just to let her start again, and rig up some exhaust fans and smart switches to protect myself.

This might be a bit annoying. On my Realme phone, no amount of setting changes stops it from killing Messenger randomly. It didn’t kill Lite so I could trust it, and put up with it despite its issues.

Yes and it’s fun getting Windows Live Mail 2012 to keep working at the best of times.

Every year or so, have to add these registry entries to revive it

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail]
“RecreateFolderIndex”=dword:00000001
“RecreateStreamIndex”=dword:00000001
“RecreateUIDLIndex”=dword:00000001

They’d prefer Outlook Express.

Yes it’s a buggy thing but it works mostly.

I ran into the unusual situation this week where I couldn’t put a new article into a kbin magazine (community / subreddit) from my kbin account, but could get it to stick if I did it via Lemmy.

I’m seeing equal parts shitter and exiter.

I know you jest, but it’s not beyond the realm of possibility for some peer to peer system to exist, similar to bittorrent, which could distribute the load across viewers. Most people have half decent internet these days. This imaginary extension could recognise the YouTube video URL, check it’s DHT to see if anyone else has it, and if not it could capture the YouTube video and redistribute it to the next person who looked up the same URL. Stale videos could be deleted after a time.

And then the AI script retaliates by identifying and switching to matching videos on PeerTube, whilst also learning your viewing habits. A premium version offers a subscription which pays third world workers to complete the captcha on your behalf.

Then Google users WEI to kill the extension.

Then someone releases a VPS which runs Chrome and supplies the whole thing by Remote Desktop, with a client side app that integrates the behaviour…

(just thinking of how it could go.)

Up next: An AI-enabled Web Browser extension which

• mutes the YouTube ads and overlays it with cute cat videos
• clicks the “skip” button for you

Probably a play on the popular Australian folk song “Waltzing Matilda.”

Kinda wary to switch in case it turns up in the Google Graveyard.

Or put +website name after your username and before the @gmail.com to make it easier than remembering dot positions.

Surprisingly complicated.

I doubt these use much power compared to their spinning rust anticedents.
