    Musk is truly the king of cringe.

    Remember when he sued those advertisers for leaving Twitter after he told those advertisers to, and Im quoting here, "Go fuck yourselves"? He is basically 14.

    SMART tools

    sudo apt-get install smartmontools

    sudo smartctl -a /dev/sdX where sdX is your drive in question (sdA, sdB, etc).

    | grep Power_On_Hours

    | grep Power_Cycle_Count

    This just tells you how much that drive was used in the past, It's not a perfect to test but it's what I do 🤷‍♂️

    It's a gamble.

    When you lose, you can simply return it.

    When you win, you get a solid state hard drive that works for really cheap.

    I purchased one in 2020 that I still haven't replaced, although I'm buying the replacement now as it has begun it's slow certain death.

    We need news outlets to be tax funded and not advertiser funded so they can report factual news instead of trying to keep eyeballs on the screen.

    It's truly bonkers the way we get news these days. Journalism is dying, and it sadly needs more than unions to survive.

    Hey fun fact, if you have an Amazon prime account you can subscribe to one streamer per month. It's money you're spending, and it's free money for some content creator.

    So if you have an Amazon prime account, go subscribe to some random streamer and make their day.

    Can you fucking imagine clocking into work at the Anti-woke Task Force office? Wearing an Anti-woke Task Force uniform??!!

    I mean I don't think it's what this guy meant... But he's kind of right?

    There were Nazi rallies in the United States during World war II. Many US corporations still in operation actively aided the concentration and execution of millions.

    Autocracy is great for corporations. Here's a neat little list off the top of my head.

    1. GE

    2. IBM

    3. Ford Motor Company

    4. General Motors

    5. ExxonMobil

    6. Coca-Cola

    7. Boeing

    8. Raytheon

    9. Honeywell

    10. Dow Inc.

    11. Dupont

    12. JPMorgan Chase

    13. Citigroup

    14. Halliburton

    15. Goodyear

    16. General Mills

    17. Caterpillar

    18. Revlon

    19. Pfizer

    20. Lockheed Martin

    And many, many more...

    We were definitely not "The Good guys" through and through. We actively aided the bad guys. But I don't think that's what this person meant.

    I truly hope it makes it damn near impossible for any one of these men too get a job ever again.

    Imagine if you both have a conviction of rape, and a video of you doing it on public record?

    I'm not hopeful that she'll break the doom loop.

    If a brown man created the doom loop, brown woman isn't going to stop it.

    I certainly welcome her being in office for 8 years, but I fear what the other side will cook up in the meantime.

    The bottom of the page there is a countdown that will expire at midnight Eastern standard Time tonight. This company claims to be in Boston. They've received federal grants. I've done a small amount of digging, but it would be entirely within valves resources to set up such a company. They have a LinkedIn, but it doesn't really seem like anyone really works there? It seems like a viral marketing campaign. There was a Reddit thread. A while back. Some people noticed classes in the HTML that referenced other half-lifey things. But, some people in that thread shut it down as nothing out of the ordinary. Then, there have been recent leaks with regard to a new game being developed. Someone found a resume suggesting that a person had done voice-over work for an unreleased project with Valve in 2023. There was also a leak of some files with .hlx file types, and I guess prior to the half-life alyx release some .hla files leaked. In the .hlx file leak, I guess there was found references to things like the EV suit. Here's a YouTube [video](https://youtu.be/36gF6eiCsqU) that touches on all of this.

    This is an appreciation thread. All 4 games are iconic to me. Way underrated. To me, midnight club is everything need for speed wanted to be. Need for speed had a few hits and many misses. Midnight club was 100% hits. And they aged incredibly. They're still fun as hell. If you never played and you dig arcade racing games, go play. It's an open city racing game. Variety of racing types, endless challenges, and really great mechanicsi just wish it was as.pophlar as it deserves to be.

    Anyone else getting worse and worse service with chat gpt? I am getting repetitive incorrect and lazy answers and then rate limited. Idk what I'm even paying for at this point. It's happened the last 5 times I've used it over the last week or so. Am I alone?

    Im on a galaxy s22+. This started happening the same time the upvotes downvote buttons started to glitch in the UI which I have also posted about. This issue is more annoying. When I am mid response, I'll often leave the app to get more accurate info in what I'm trying to say. When I come back to Lemmy, it's all black. Nothing. But my button presses are still registering. If I go to the app switcher (bottom left android button) thing, and reselect Lemmy, it fixes and the display returns. But if I react by pressing the back button, I lose my response, I lose the post I was responding to, I sometimes can't even relocate the thread I was in easily.

    I need to hit the upvotes and downvote buttons twice on the main page. It will flash it's color as I press on press 1, but then quickly revert. On second press, it behaves normally.

    This guy was something special. Not too many prodigies can improv like Tom Brier. Someone posted Nyan cat the other day and it reminded me of the incredible body of his work. This guys relative made this YouTube channel when he realized Tom could play *anything* and turn it into a full length song ad libertum, AND that he was incredibly out of touch with pop culture. Most of the time he is completely unfamiliar with the song being presented to him. You can tell how much he enjoyed this song by his enthusiastic laugh at the end 😊 Guy sadly was in a bad car accident in 2016, and can no longer play. These videos just make me cry now, but God damn does this mean deserve keep being found and revered.

    Right now there are three feeds available to me, that, as far as I can tell, I have minimal control over. It'd be rad if there was a way to add feeds, and for each feed, be able to manually select communities I'd like to see. This would be great for news, porn, sports, pornography, adult content, and so much more.

    Last week we had a great thread about metal without growls. In reading suggestions, and conjuring up some of my own, I re-realized a bunch of stuff. I wanna see your top 3 metal deep cuts. What do I mean by deep cut? I mean the formative shit. The stuff you found and loved along the way but lost track of, that when you revisit you go "fuck what happened to these guys?" The ones that helped guide you but fell off the face of the earth (or just your radar).

    I'm hoping for the 'genius at work' designation to represent the most difficult, but solvable, stills. I think by guahing where y'all have been at, this might stump you, but there is enough info. Prove me wrong and the category gets forever more difficult!

    This is bordering on 'hard' I think? This seems about as difficult as medium should be. Or as easy as hard should be? 🤔
