Great. I’ve just returned a WD drive to Amazon after it arrived crushed in a torn-open paper bag.
The replacement arrived also in a paper bag and went straight back, this time for a refund.
I guess I should have kept that one and hoped for the best.
Good alternatives? I’ve only recently been enlightened on how profoundly sh__ty SSD is for long-term storage and I have a whole lot of images my parents took traveling the last few years of their lives.

This is an argument that the AI should be allowed to benefit, not the person prompting it.
If people like Rob Pike and Linus Torvalds are on the opposite end of that spectrum, you might be interested in why that is.
I strongly suspect the older and more experienced a developer is, the more likely they are to code without syntax coloring, including large numbers who previously didn’t.
Earlier reports suggested it could have been something from space but that seems unlikely since the velocity of anything that survived reentry would likely have caused substantial damage beyond a cracked windshield. The theory was likely amplified by the captain of the flight who reportedly described the object that hit the plane as “space debris.”
The claim that the captain said it was "space debris" was from a reddit comment from the allegedly neighbor of a flight attendant that was on the flight. Not the most credible of sources.
Here’s what appears to be the prior version from archive.ph, which does align more with the submitted hed:
Authorities are now considering whether a falling object, possibly from space, caused damage to the windshield and frame on a United 737 MAX over Colorado on Thursday. Various reports that include watermarked photos of the damage suggest the plane was struck by a falling object not long after taking off from Denver for Los Angeles. One of the photos shows a pilot’s arm peppered with small cuts and scratches. In his remarks after the incident, the captain reportedly described the object that hit the plane as “space debris,” which would suggest it was from a rocket or satellite or some other human-made object. Some reports say it was possibly a meteorite.
Whatever hit the plane, it was an enormously rare event and likely the first time it’s ever happened. The plane diverted without incident to Salt Lake City where the approximately 130 passengers were put on another plane to finish the last half of the 90-minute flight. Apparently only one layer of the windshield was damaged, and there was no depressurization. The crew descended from 36,000 feet to 26,000 feet for the diversion, likely to ease the pressure differential on the remaining layers of windshield. Neither the airline nor FAA have commented.
I don’t like littering the filesystem with these crumbs, especially when the folders are synced with iCloud so you have two machines with possibly different screen sizes arguing about the saved location. I’d much rather store everything in a single SQLite file.
There's already a ds_store file littered around, and presumably these must be backwards compatible. So if the format were reverse engineered (maybe it already is) you could probably stuff in some data in there.
None, but "prefer AV1 for SD" will prevent the stuttering due to the changes mentioned above.
If you don't ever want AV1 then it probably makes more sense to not have the browser advertise it as an option to sites. One can configure Firefox as such, I'm not sure about Chrome.
Regulation in Europe mandate that doors have to unlock when airbags are triggered. If the model involved was legal in the EU, it was either a mechanical issue or an electronic one, and maybe not exclusively Tesla's fault, but it was caused by their poor engineering/assembly practices.
If it's in the US and they have no regulations on this, I don't want to be cavalier but they should reflect on their anti-regulation culture, and Tesla does not deserve to be scapegoated (not a fan of the brand, but I try to be consistent).
> Tesla was able to fix this with a software update over the air, something no one else could do for a braking system. That was impressive, but the example presented a worrying question: Did engineers not do stopping-distance testing before they shipped the car to customers?
I wonder if anyone here can think of an example (or six) of other more worrying questions about this. Before cradling your head in your hands and asking where you can get a decent new car that's just a goddamn car.
