Anything to do with physical media tends to get so much worse over time, it's really depressing
I saw people on twitter discussing whether they'd get the physical release of gta vi or not, as if the game's actually gonna be on the disc lol
Anyway I should have mentioned my two drives are from around the same time period. So although I briefly mention how bad stuff has become, the topic is really the quality of a product they put their name on vs that of one they were too embarrassed to put their name on

i really regret making /f/ the prefix, due to /f/art
but it also makes it /f/artificialintelligence, so who's to say if it's bad or not

they all have their place and purpose
in the case of unix timestamps, i seem to disagree with a lot of people what those are. i think using them in places where you expect humans to look is a bad use of them.

Reply to comment by flabberghaster in thank u to the annoing linux people of the late 00s. using linux keeps paying off. i just watched someone using windows 11 wring their hands and slap their desk just after opening the start menu by twovests
that might work, but they've been known to remove ways of deshittifying windows in updates. for instance, there's like a bunch of group policies that no longer have any effect on windows 10 version so-and-so or higher. so who knows how long it'll work? my solution avoids this problem by just blocking updates entirely.

the key to owning a windows computer without the fuss is to uninstall all the bothersome updates and use Windows Defender with Advanced Security to block all outgoing traffic, except from the programs you use. although idk if windows 11 can be reverted to a "good" state, but it works on 10.
i've had this setup for several months now and it's been great. i don't have to worry about microsoft pushing updates that add an annoying malware-like bing ai search bar that keeps coming back after a while when you turn it off. i can put my computer to sleep and come back the next morning and find everything was exactly as i left it.
highly recommend if using linux just isn't an option for you

it's good you managed to show restraint. almost as if something you did that day reminded you that with great power comes great responsibility,

unfortunately the connectors are very sandwiched between the card and the cooler, so i didn't want to take this route

Films and tv shows on dvd.
I could do blu-ray now, i guess, but i've yet to see shelves full of them in charity shops, where i can get dvds for cheap. Also i have no idea if they'll play in vlc without any fuss.
