Keep tuned for the first cyber truck spontaneous combustion and the recall for battery concerns

You are correct! And moreover, fragmentation was bad on HDDs because they are good at reading sequential data, so fragmentation limited performance by making reads more random.

They thrive now, but they will never forget the Wii U

And you will need it in 5-10 years if/when you have a display and accessory that requires it. I doubt anyone will need the new cable anytime soon

Normally I would say that Microsoft wouldn’t care and they would just make an exception, but after the CrowdStrike error, they might be just a little bit more careful. Or maybe I have too much faith in them

It’s definitely higher than I was expecting, but nowhere near what Musk would want you to believe

Ignoring the problem doesn’t make it better

On top of this, someone could make an instance dedicated to that niche subject and similar topics, and you could subscribe with the account you already have somewhere else instead of having to periodically check that niche instance.

Right now the problem is finding those instances, and generally finding reliable instances that won’t suddenly go offline
