I also stopped using it, but kept the stuff there anyway.

This is why I've always been against the idea of scrubbing Reddit comments. There's no way that they hadn't already scraped and backed everything up already, before the comments were scrubbed. That just deleted the information from the public internet, and the LLMs still get to train from the scraped dataset. It's just increasing their usefulness.

Always the ones you most expect.

Yep. For some reason, I've never managed to even feign interest in sports. During high school, I used to participate in quizzes. The sole job of my partner was to handle the sports section. I always found it so utterly boring.

I only watch sports when my friends are having a watch party, and even then I mostly attend because there's beer.

Some people use tabs like bookmarks. I remember an ex telling me that Chrome takes 10+ seconds to launch on her phone. When I checked, she literally had 1000+ tabs opened. I kid you not, the tab count said :D like it basically gave up. My flabbers were gasted.

Firefox on Android kinda sucks. Hook him up with Cromite.

If he's truly pro-life, why did he die? Curious.

"Yeah, the husband did beat the wife to death. But see, the wife also put too much salt in his soup that evening. So let's not act like she was totally blameless." - Some commenters in here.

Nothing. It just looks like my username.

I swear, execs are some of the most gullible people on earth. I know some of them, and none of them are very bright, just very greedy.

I have an old laptop that I'd like to get rid of. I've repurposed its SSD and RAM. It has an HDD on it, but it's so old, that it probably shouldn't be used anymore. A screw doesn't fit properly, so the chassis is a bit bumpy on one corner. But it works just fine. (Has an 8th gen i7 in it.)

I already have home-servers etc., so I just want to get rid of it. What's the most ethical way of doing it?

I'm currently living somewhere in southern USA, if that's relevant.

Hi, I bought a used Dell constellation HDD from eBay. Here's the link for the listing.

It's supposed to be tested by them, but when I received it, it didn't spin up. I tried putting it inside my Lenovo ThinkCentre M900 Tiny, and also tried using an external SATA to USB adapter, but none of them work.

Now, it's a bit weird and different from the usual HDDs. It's 2.5 inch, but thicker than usual, 7200 RPM, and is supposed to be enterprise grade. So maybe I'm doing something wrong, and need a special adapter for it. Or it can be a faulty drive. I'm not sure. If anyone has experience with these drives, please let me know if I should be doing something different. Thanks.

Edit: I came to the conclusion that the drive is faulty. I contacted the seller, and was given a refund.

I have a Lenovo ThinkCentre M900 Tiny (10FL) which has been working fine. Recently, I had an HDD failure, and replaced it with an SSD. This time, I decided to go with ZFS (single drive, kinda pointless, but I get scrubbing). Every once in a while, I'm getting errors while scrubbing. It's always 1-2 read or write errors. And it never reappears if I clear the error and run another scrub.

The data isn't important, and it's backed up, so I'm not too worried about it. But, the symptoms make me think that it's an issue of the SATA port inside? Is it possible to replace the SATA port inside this device. I wasn't able to find anything like part number etc. online and it looks like I need to replace the whole board. Any help is appreciated.

I'm sorry but I'm frustrated by the blatant misuse of AI by my students and colleagues alike. It's so obvious when they don't understand what they've written.
