The only hassle is the tranfer, and that’s set & forget.

And I don’t spend $50-100/mo (wifi + streaming)to waste time channel surfin.

There’s a small profit to be made administering a plan on a common carrier while the bigger operators. rake in the big money from idiots permanently leasing a fucking cell phone.

I’m using Cricket wireless. $45/mo gets me unlimited internet on my phone with a 15gig hotspot.

I’m all physical media, but if I need to download something, I do it on my phone (sorry, seeders) and transfer it over to my PC to watch on my TV.

Yes, thank you for this, motivated me to pull the drive only to find out to my confusion that it wasn’t there… mostly likely I was mounting a partition this entire time. Good news is that I have n 8-year-old 4TB and and 12-year-old 3TB I might as well consume.

lsblk is as low level as it gets, no? Anyway, gparted sees nothing either, nor does Mint’s Disks.

Driver issue? For a hard drive? Ok… Uh, so what do I install exactly?

Edit: Check the edit to my post.

Haha it’s for the security of her data of course!

Linux is my last stop for desktop computers. I’ll probably still always have one, but I’m transitioning to using mobile devices more. But for media storage and setup, I still can’t beat a desktop.

This is all I got:

<pre>NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINTS sr0 11:0 1 1024M 0 rom
nvme0n1 259:0 0 953.9G 0 disk ├─nvme0n1p1 259:1 0 1M 0 part ├─nvme0n1p2 259:2 0 513M 0 part /boot/efi └─nvme0n1p3 259:3 0 953.4G 0 part / </pre>

I did backup my data to external drive, tho, so I’m not sweating bullets.

I should have a whole-ass platter drive in this thing.

What? I thought Optane was a weird hybrid drive for mostly laptops I’m running a self-built desktop that’s over 10 years old with an MSI Mobo. I was just in settings because something else led me to think it might be a BIOS issue, but didn’t see any Optane.

But why would go from one-year-ago-Mint to today-Mint trigger any bios issues?

Fucked if I know, man, I’m just doing reader response.

I don’t know the anime context, but it seems like a criticism of Luigi-types.

Violence is a very effective tool for social change and maintenance–for good or ill. One can advocate for violence without claiming any moral superiority and instead purely on the likely outcomes of that act of violence.

What’s the little sixteen-page-folded-up-from-a-single-page format called? Those are pretty cool.

All these hugely popular candidates and their hugely popular platforms are going to be a total disaster for the Democratic Party. Can the party really succeed by delivering on social and economic change for the majority of people?

Now lets turn to our panel of long-time Democrats, all of whom had their chauffeurs drive them into the studio from their mansions in the suburbs…

After out failure in Iran, it’s pretty clear to me that the congressional-military-industrial is a grift on a scale so vast that we need Carl Sagan to explain it. .

Sounds like cope.

How about, “In a society unable to correct injustice through formal systems, informal systems must be used.”

Always Sunny in Philadelphia? Haven’t seen it yet, but references to it are piling up.

You must be the guy whose answer to the trolley problem is “I’d find a way to stop the trolley without anyone getting hurt.”

given the choice of being stabbed in the back or in the face, I’d say I’d rather not be stabbed at all.

And that’s kind of the problem–you are assuming a possibility that does not exist.

Soylent green is made of Peter Thiel!

Yes, it does suck. Problem is human society. “The right” represents corporate interest, and the left should represent the people’s interests, but too often the left just represents an extractive clientislist state. Whatever you call them, systems reward themselves. It’s why I’m pessimistic about government.

But the thing is all the assholes thinking they’re so smart because they’d never vote for a right-candidate and that everyone in those countries are so stupid for voting for right candidates, all the people downvoting my comment, are just an example of the globality of stupidity.

So it’s not looking good for the human race.

If I start doing drugs, will I make more sense?
