That is a nice setup since it minimizes recovery time to nothing. I'm guessing you're using their B2? I've had 2 drive failures since using BB so it's been worthwhile. But their Download software is pretty dreadful if

Yup. All drives kick the bucket at some point. That's why I use BB. I don't trust myself with NAS. The ones that never failed me were any drives made by Quantum using SCSI interface. 5 drives, zero failure over 10+ years. But t

It’s a little strange to see 36gb instead of 32gb. I’ll take the extra 4 though.

I like Netflix enough but when they announced the price hike recently i didn’t like them enough to continue to pay. So I cancelled too.

Mine too. The soundtrack is spectacular as well. Doesn’t appear to everyone’s cup of tea but I think it’s a masterpiece. For me it had more replay values than Akira or ghost in shell. I must’ve watched it 10 times.

"Broken down there are 137 Engineering management roles and 38 Product roles being reduced. Additionally, there will be 388 role reductions across our Engineering team" Companies have cut back on recruiters a while ago, so I guess

In the end, it's mostly about dollars and dense. Most coal plants are operated by large companies including Georgia Power, Duke Energy, AEP, etc. who have large coffers to fund lobbying effort to influence the public and regulators.

People elect goverment and officials, both at local and federal level to make informed decisions that weight in numerous factors. If people had more direct control over and line-item veto and vote, we may not make the best decision as a wh

ATP for a new car in July was $48,334. For used cars, it was $29,5k last quarter. $30k is a lot of money for sure. But it does not get you much car these days, new or used.

30k is significantly less than avg priced internal combustion engine cars.

I do miss those clear buttons and input fields. I cannot tell you how much my 70 something year old Mom gets confused trying to figure out what's clickable vs not on modern apps and OS.

Maybe it's just me, but in the video, the founder doesn't seem all that excited about the acquisition. It's almost like he's having second thoughts, but it's too late to back out.

I didn't even realize what Loom was until now. I love their product demo video on their home page. https://www.loom.com/ Brilliantly made. And I'm completely sold on the value of this software. Screen recording

This is a 17 year old aircraft, so I think it's only worth one fifth of that at best. They may be better off just buying a used one, rather than risk putting this into service.

While I don't think Google will abandon Pixel phone, yeah I'd be wary of buying pixel watch for sure. For better or worse, Apple's rectangular form factor is something people have gotten used to and frankly it's more spa

The pace of hardware improvement has slowed a lot so I’m not concerned about this as much as in the past. I think that’s one of the main reasons why Google decided to make this commitment.

Just for argument sake, Apple walks away from $20B/year in pure profit to develop its own search engine. Google is going to just sit idly? Google already knows how to make great search engine. It is just 'choosing' not to, s

As someone who failed at sales, I have nothing but respect for people in sales, and people who work in account management that put up with client bull shit and bring home the bacon.
