Not the original commenter but I’d wager similarly that yes, the vast majority of the American people are far too comfortable to venture into the “inconvenience” of an actual war. Gripe about it from our couches? Yep. Lift a finger to bring about actual change (and no, signing an online petition doesn’t count) in the face of real, actual, severe consequence? …nah.

As you do

Digital Cinema Package; basically the movie file you’re watching when you’re in a movie theater.

That’s some RFC 2549 logic, right there.

Bottom line, there’s always a possibility a cloud/service provider could lose you data. That chance is (/should be) exponentially smaller on their environments however than the likelihood of your own local stores.

If you’re really serious about preserving your data, consider the 3-2-1 Backup Rule:

3 copies of your data 2 different types of media 1 copy stored off-site

And now D4 is copying that crafting system over in an attempt to salvage their own game.

The only reason I stomached all the bs of Overwatch 2 was for the promise of PvE. As soon as they announced they weren’t doing that anymore I uninstalled the game. The fact they squeezed out some half-assed story missions for a price was just the final nail in the coffin. It’s sad bc I loved OW1, but this game has become nothing more than a soulless money vaccuum.

Not to mention it needs a security update. Gotta figure out a way to encrypt those pigeons!

You just need 9 more PCs with the same motherboard on em!

From BNL,

I have a tendency to wear my mind on my sleeve

I have a history of taking off my shirt

I knew what it was going to be and I still clicked it, you sonnova…

I collected Marvel cards back in the 90s and I’m pretty sure I have at least a few that are official “collectors items” now. I’ve never looked into it very thoroughly since I just kept them in baseball card pages with no other particular protection from the climate, etc, but who knows?

I saw this on Reddit a while back. This isn’t an actual employee, it’s the kid of a manager who brought them to work for the day (school was closed or something). The dumbass manager thought it would be cute to dress her kid up and put them on the register, but patrons were rightly weirded out. Culver’s corp found out and were pissed - I’m not sure if the manager got fired or not, but this definitely wasn’t something Culver’s was cool with.

UDP: meh

Not who you’re replying to but yes, Synology will let you automate backups to a cloud/service (and you definitely should!)

If I say “no,” does that mean yes?

I am the terror that flaps in the night…

Chicken dinrar?

I set up a test rig with Fedora to see how the gaming went and didn’t have any issues with Steam or a handful of AAA games. Of note though, my test machine has an AMD GPU so I didn’t have to deal with any Nvidia driver shenanigans.

Not OP, but pretty sure JP = Justice of the Peace
