Floppy disk drive.

A and B were reserved and your first hard disk drive was C.

The two disk drives had fixed memory addresses because they were often specific ports on the motherboard, and loaded the OS, etc. Things after that were more dynamic.

I agree with the sentiment but not with the advice “commit a felony to avoid maybe getting a felony”. There isn’t a chance you’ll get charged with destroying evidence if they’re already looking at you under a microscope like your hypothetical.

Anyone that concerned needs to just not store sensitive data on their phone, and use a messaging app that doesn’t permanently store messages, either. That way you didn’t erase your phone, AND they find nothing. Attempting to secure your data from the cops while you’re already under the lens with a warrant is far too late.

Another case is if they get a warrant for whatever’s on your phone, you knew, and then erased your phone.

Warrants make more sense, because a warrant can be issued just due to probable cause. They need that cause, but that cause doesn’t have to be directly related to your phone. Once you know they have a warrant to search it, you would qualify as “knowingly” altering or destroying evidence.

That is genuinely hilarious. Very successful bait.

Would’ve pissed me off, too.

Dang I didn’t know they got that cheap.

Thanks for the search advice.

Honestly I feel this was always the goal (one of several), but R&D is expensive. Shipping an odd phone that people still buy keeps the shareholders happy while the multi-year research process can eventually produce more usable results.

Single-flip phones were the awkward teenagers, now this phone can be the 18-20 age young adult, fully featured, but needing refinement. Next gen or the one after this will add a lot more robustness.

I’m reasonably sure it’d be a list of numbers that just translate.actual die rolls to a new set.

123456 416352

Roll a natural 6 on a d6, look at that simple table, you got a 2. Roll a natural 3, get a 6.

Ratcheting the table would be moving a row, so ratcheting this table by 1 would make it

123456 163524

So now you have a new arrangement.

Sort by date and at least vaguely remember when I downloaded it.

Its like archaeology

Didn’t know this, this is good to know

I stick them in /home/bin/ like I would for a compiled app. I found a forum for mint saying thats the expectation for user apps with no specific install location, which is pretty much the issue, anyway.

Nah.

Live images have the image, and free space. Anything you install while they’re on uses that free space, and when you turn them off, they still have an untouched OS partition. The space you used to install things gets wiped, essentially.

But you CAN use that space, Linux works as it normally would, just on a USB. Steam could even download a cloud save and upload after you’ve played, as long as you don’t restart the computer.

Weren’t in the Epstein files as far as you know.

But yeah I had rats I’d vote for them over trump for anything.

First thing it did was overwrite the partition table and everything else with that, to make its own, since it could disregard all the existing data.

I agree with the other commenter, commercial recovery, if the data was that crucial.

I haven’t used raidz but a quick search tells me it supports single-drive expansion.

Maybe reconfigure your raidz as a 2-drive system, then copy over all your data into it, and expand it back into a 3-drive system after.

VLC icon, obviously.

VLC’s agenda has always been being the only traffic cone. It even stands for Very Large Cone.

Don’t fall for Big Cone’s agenda.

No you can’t do that with administrator in windows.

Some things, windows just won’t let you do, even as an administrator.

Probably a habit from when they really did have bad English, but they learned, and surpassed the average american at this point.

Just wanna throw in a voice saying your setup sounds completely fine to me. Maybe it’s a bit odd but it also sounds like how I’d do it if I had storage needs that large.

My current storage needs are currently met with a 2.5" SSD connected to a raspberry pi shared with samba over WiFi though so I’m pretty sure every storage nerd in here is gonna tell me my opinion doesn’t count, take it with a grain of salt.

There’s also Tiny 10 and Tiny 11, which take it even further. They’re genuinely small, too, they did good work.

If you actually read the whole graph, you’ll see windows has 2 entries.
