Read the article folks. Amazon is claiming they don’t meet the definition in Europe, where there are other online retailers with more sales in those countries that are not flagged as ‘Very Large Online Platforms’. Amazon is simply claiming that them getting that designation and other online retailers of the same or larger sizes are not is unfair and Amazon shouldn’t receive that tag in those countries.

Just pulled some pork chops off the smoker and tomorrow is stir fry some some spicy peppers from the garden.

DELETE FROM person automatically ran update site_aggregates for me, very very slowly at that.

No. It’s strictly worse than Windows 10.

Always a good question to ask, but this script is very simple and I can confidently tell you that as it is right now, it’s completely safe

I have an instant pot air fryer. They definitely made some attempts. But I imagine they kept trying to be the big mover and shaker and that’s expensive compared to just building a solid trustworthy brand.

Yea. That will only show communities that members of beehaw are already subscribed to. And importantly, I’m not registered on that instance. That’s not the website I use.

My point is less of what is possible, and more of what you should be prepared for. Yeah, the above saying to buy a new one is probably excessive, but from a liability standpoint, now they can say they warned you.

My last drive to fail was 5 years old, and I retired a matching drive last year at 9 years old on a suspicion it was exacerbating issues, but it still worked with passing SMART tests. They definitely can go for much longer.

My NAS drives are 2 years and six months old and I bought an identical model drive and installed it as a hot swap last month. I have both a RAID-5 equivalent setup and local and remote backups, but I’ve generally started a rotation or prepared newer drives around the 3 year mark for most of my career.

Unpopular opinion, but I really see no problem with this? They aren’t reducing the capabilities of the drive or anything. Three years is a damn good time to have a plan. Whether it be validating your backups, having a hot spare on standby, or double checking your RAID status.

More importantly, for the average consumer who doesn’t maintain off site backups and may not have their NAS configured correctly to prevent data loss, giving people a head’s up that they are hitting the warranty limit isn’t a bad idea.

It’s been a long time since I had a drive fail in just three years, but that’s still all I consider a guarantee.

I don’t think the math is quite right, because there are potentially a couple hundred read replicas that need updated on every comment. There is an M-N relationship where it gets better, and the asynchronicity helps direct load, but it’s still not what I would call efficient scaling.

Spoken from traumatic experience.

5950x with 7900xtx runs fine on my 850 watt.

Never heard of this either, thanks! Any idea how well Battleeye/EAC work on it?

You really can’t go wrong with https://pcpartpicker.com/. Obviously double check things like GPU size mentioned below, and up size your PSU if you ever intend to upgrade GPU in same case. 850 Watts is a solid choice regardless of what your current picks need.

“Because” is a pretty strong word. I’d be surprised if it was related at all.

I mean, it has a batch script you can read and run yourself.

Gaming computer, I dropped Win11 because with PiHole blocking windows analytics, the whole OS slows down. Just opening the start menu took ~4 seconds with Ryzen 5950x on an m2 ssd with 64GB of RAM. Everything was sluggish. I’m back on Arch, but there are a few BattleEye/EAC games that don’t work I’d like to play again.
