Be ready to replace the disk when the warranty ends.

What’s the point of replacing them? The warranty doesn’t keep them from dying, it just means you get a free replacement. The amount of life left on the drives after the warranty expires depends heavily on how they’re used, and most self hosters are pretty gentle on their drives. I could see replacing the drives that are heavily used, but replacing all drives just because their warranty expired seems like a waste of money and effort.

I didn’t say their point wasn’t valid, I just thought their reading comprehension was ironic.

The article is about a course that’s required for all freshmen, not just lit majors. Here’s the first sentence of the article:

Nicholas Dames has taught Literature Humanities, Columbia University’s required great-books course, since 1998.

Depending on how much the investor’s interest rates are they could be covering maintenance costs, making a profit, and still charging less than a new mortgage at current interest rates. So depending on your landlord and how much profit they’re trying to squeeze, renting might be a better option than buying right now.

I’m not a CPA, but I don’t think you can write off something that already made a profit. How would that even work, if companies were able to write off predicted ad revenue? They could make up any value and never have to pay any taxes at all.

I don’t think write-offs have anything to do with them removing these episodes.

I don’t think they can write it off either way, though. It only makes sense to write off shows that haven’t made money. It’s just “retiring” when you’re taking about something that’s already been released. There’s no ulterior profit motive, unlike when they write off unreleased movies and shows.

What does this have to do with write-offs? I don’t think they can write off episodes of South Park and the daily show that have already aired.

It’s a lot faster to stick an existing web ui into an electron app than make a true native app.

He has a large platform, and his audience is probably more likely to support Trump than Harris. So, him endorsing RFK is taking votes from Trump and helping Harris win the election.

Of course they would, Firefox is a huge project. But that doesn’t mean Mozilla is the only organization that can manage it.

I know, I was just being hyperbolic. Not sure why my OC is so downvoted, I’m pretty sure people don’t think Mozilla is the only org capable of leading the project.

Welll yeah, obviously. I wasn’t suggesting Firefox would somehow become sentient and develop itself.

If you disagree, why not share your opinion instead of just downvoting? Why do you think Mozilla is the only organization capable of supporting Firefox?

A project as big as Mozilla wouldn’t be abandoned. If Mozilla stopped development I guarantee more than one group would fork.

Firefox is open source, we don’t need Mozilla.

I think I’m broken

Not broken, just jaded

If that happens, they just fall back to the first option of waiting for their provider to set up the IPMI.

The pain doesn’t always stop when the nerves are severed. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phantom_pain

there was a pretty serious resurgence of it around waitforit the turn of the millennia back in 1999/2000

I know a lot of people have that perception, but it doesn’t necessarily make it true. Do you know of any studies that have looked into this?

That how I interpreted it too, but has there really been that much of an increase? The Wikipedia articles they linked doesn’t mention any increase at the turn of the century.
