I was in an accident a few years back and broke my orbital floor, sphenoid, and ended up with pneumocephalus. I was there for about 32 hours total and ended up with a 150k bill. 65k of that was imaging.

this country is so fucking broken. imagine even being able to go to the hospital for "flu like symptoms", most of us would never do that cause we know it'd be a 10k bill.

this one doesn't work quite as well without speaking. but

"how do you think the unthinkable?"

"with an itheberg." (iceberg with a lisp)

I use a virtual machine with all traffic routed through a VPN as it provides far more isolation than a container.

yes, there was verified csam in multiple portions of the documents resulting in the data hoarders community removing magnet links to torrents of those files. obviously good move by the mods of that community but ridiculous that it's necessary due to the dojs incompetence.

totally agree, I just mention it cause a lot of people put a lot more worth on it then they should. ime shops that advertise being authorized are more scummy then the average 3rd party repair shop.

idk, I've fixed a lot of phones that people take into baths or showers. constant exposure will wear down the seals and there's a reason they're water resistant not waterproof. plus if you've ever had any repair done even by an authorized provider that water resistance goes out the window.

dead ram definitely still happens, yes, but it's exceedingly rare. I fix hundreds of PCs a year, and I maybe get one or two a year where the root cause is actually bad ram. more often it's configuration issues or hardware implementation issues, for example the gigabyte x870 boards really don't like XMP for some reason.

ecc doesn't really have anything to do with whether a ram stick fails or not, it can help with misbehaving sticks but if a stick is dead it's dead and ecc can't help a dead region.

smartctl would be what your looking for even for ssds (although ssds fail quick enough that if smartctl catches something there's a chance it's already too late, smartd allows for scheduled tests and I've definitely saved data off of ssds because I had daily smart tests running that caught early failure).

I however strongly disagree with the hardware issue. there is no indication that this is hardware (honestly hardware accounts for VERY few issues like this, and RAM failing still happens but is 98% a thing of the past). diagnosing without any logs is a bit of a lost cause, we simply don't have enough info, hopefully OP updates the post with the output of journalctl from the last boot.

Germany, notably free of Nazi influences right now...

my Xbox elite series 2 works a treat, just has to stay plugged in unless you wanna spend like 30$ on a dongle sold separately

I really really loved their old stuff but I can't even sit through their latest albums. super disappointing honestly

sundowning was the last solid thing they put out imo
