I do see that another retailer has drives in stock, but at about 40-50% more than I paid back in October

I get paid on the 27th, I need two more 8TB drives to complete my NAS, my local retailer had 50+ in stock earlier this week, and now the drives are no longer even listed.

Fuck sake…

Cool, but we in the EU should be weary of any outside payment processor taking over.

Oh fuck…

I just need two more 8TB drives so I can complete my NAS, that is all. Don’t blow up now! Please…

Good, that stupid design trend needs to die

Honestly, I don’t believe I would, many years ago I made a decision to always try and make sure people remembered me as kind and a good person, even store clerks and similar service jobs I interact with.

I think that if I had access to that kind of wealth, I would start looking for my legacy and build something positive for people to remember me by.

Now, I realize that as an IT guy, it is exceedingly improbable that I will ever get into that kind of wealth, but one can dream.

Ah, Eric Schmidt, billionaire and former CEO and chairman of Google, he is one of the wealthiest people in the world.

He lead the US National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence.

He has drunk the entire bottle of the AI juice.

If I had 53 billion USD available, I would develop my idea of a system for cleaning the great garbage patch rather than whining about AI.
