…I drive fast
I am alone at midnight
Been trying hard not to get into trouble, but I
I’ve got a war in my mind…

Ooh… so Roblox uses Luau internally for user-developed game logic, which means that you could probably get the AI to write you a complete application and execute it within the Roblox environment. This seems ripe for exploitation.

Not Ethernet cable specifically, but on the topic of limitations of wires there’s the classic case of the 500-mile email.

Ah yes, faster spaghetti. Wonderful.

The bubble will pop, but I’m not convinced the hobbyist PC hardware market is going to recover.

Realistically, the consumer market for PC components existed because there was a business market for desktop computers as employee workstations. That’s mostly dead now. Businesses mostly buy laptops or mini PCs for employee workstations, they have less and less need for desktop hardware because most of the computing tasks have moved to SaaS platforms. The consumer PC hardware market isn’t that profitable on its own, it exists on the margins of production for business purchasing, and it’s been coasting on momentum built up in the 2010s.

Processor architectures are changing to support machine learning tasks, GPU production is shifting toward ML-specialization, and everyone in the design field is trying to remove the barriers between the CPU and the RAM, which means shortening the path, which means getting rid of the socket and end-user upgradability in favor of soldered components. With SaaS taking over everything in the business world, we’re trending back toward the mainframe computing model and away from powerful local hardware.

I’m not saying there won’t be a consumer PC market in the future, I’m just saying that it will be different. There won’t be enough demand for common desktop components to keep the custom PC build market alive as it was five years ago.

It’s a sarcasm about corporate spending decisions. The joke is:

Everyone has a test environment. Some are lucky enough to also have a production environment.

The point being that if management has decided not to spend resources on a test environment, then “production” is in fact test.

I hope the engineers have a paper trail of emails advising against that.

More specifics are needed for a support request. Provide the baseline specifications please.

What OS are you using? What is the make and model of the drive? Is it internal or external? USB? SATA? SAS? NVMe? A PCIe adapter? Is this a desktop, laptop, NAS, server, NUC, Raspberry Pi with an expansion board?

For all we know you’re using a refurbished and relabeled SAS drive plugged into an adapter on an eSATA port on a 10 year old motherboard sitting in a cardboard box.

Are you familiar with SMART? Have you done any diagnostics?

“A lot of men and their behaviors have ruined this product.”

Yes, like the men running the companies that make this product.

In the beginning the universe was created.

This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

People calling for violence concern me, especially because we know that the current state of US internal politics has been heavily influenced by foreign interests to amplify and escalate the division and animosity. Violence serves their interests.

No creativity, no new ideas, just mob tactics.

You’re underestimating the value of scraping everyone’s email.

Heh, I opened port 22 on my home network once. There wasn’t anything on it to connect to, but the firewall recorded thousands of SSH connection attempts within hours. Within a day it had over a million hits.

Yeah, you never really know how sheltered you are until you step out.

Clearly that’s an outer demon.

Oh, I see, you try to win arguments by escalating to put the other person on the defensive… you do you man.

And… Why would they do that?

China doesn’t exert itself without some expected gain, but right now they benefit from the US and Russia expending resources on this conflict. What would they get by ending it?
