Fucking idiots

Its been a long while since I've read the books or seen the movies, but weren't they escaping WW2?

Seems kinda... worse than taxes and the subway. "Ah yes, lets give up on this magical world to return to ours to get *checks notes* bombed. Perfect."

He Who Fights with Monsters. (LitRpg) Anyone else read/listened to this?

Might want to add some spoiler tags on the some of the spoilers.

Otherwise, I'm currently on book 4 right now, towards the end of it. It's an alright book. I'm enjoying it. At first I didn't think I'd like the shift after book 3, but so far, its keeping me entertained.

My one complaint, which isn't that much of a complaint, is that everything seems to go Jason's way. Nothing is ever.... serious? I guess is the word I'm looking for. But its not any different than an action movie/TV show, so its really a none issue.

Seagate hard drive controversy persists as scammers discover methods to alter reliability metrics

Reply in thread

Seagate and Western digital are two seperate companies. You're correct in that neither own or are affiliated with the other.

There were talks of a merger for years starting back in ~2014, but that fell through.

I did just find out that Seagate is the parent company to LaCie though. They used to (probably still do) make some decently tough external haard drives.

Asus says they will unlock my bootloader for ...money.

Even trying to buy anything from them directly is damn near impossible. Tried purchasing a desktop from their website a few weeks back, and the system wouldn't accept my address as valid. I talked to their support team, they told me they have to escalate it and I'd hear back in 24-48 hours.

Never heard back. Ended up going through Lenovo, and that was painless.

I used to almost exclusively recommend Asus or Lenovo to my family and friends, but I guess its just Lenovo now.
