What if they meant DC.

Can't argue with that flawless logic.

Thing is, the RNC is cleptocratically his now and will be for a while. Other than that I'd hope for similar things as most people are commenting here. It will be bonkers either way until he stops breathing and then some.

What do you mean? Hasn't lost and never will. /s

Mark my words. Don't ever use SATA to USB for anything other than (temporary) access to non critical preexisting data. I swear to god if I had a dollar for every time USB has screwed me over trying to simplify working with customers' (and my own) drives. Whenever it comes to anything more advanced than data level access USB just doesn't seem to offer the necessary utilities. Whether this is rooted in software, hardware or both I don't know.

All I know is that you cannot realistically use USB to for example carbon copy one drive to another. It may end up working, it may throw errors letting you know that it failed, it may only seem to have worked in the end. It's hard for me to imagine that with all the individual devices I've gone through that this is somehow down to the parts and that somewhere out there would be something better that actually makes this work. It really does feel like whoever came up with the controlling circuits used for USB to SATA conversion industry-wide just didn't do a good enough job to implement everything in a way that makes it wholly transparent from the view of the operating system.

TL;DR If you want to use SATA as intended you need SATA all the way to the motherboard.

tbh I often ask myself why eSATA fell by the wayside. USB just isn't up to these tasks in my experience.

I mean yea sure, those are the 2 most relevant data collectors to most people. But as much as you can say about Apple's anti-consumer practices, spying on its customers or letting anyone else spy on their customers isn't something they can be accused of.

It's still a closed source ecosystem so you have to take their word for it, and you better assume that their analytics game is the best in the business so you are definitely feeding them (anonymized) research data there.

However the point I'm trying to make is that if you aren't a tech-savvy user (of which there are many) who just wants a solution that works then there isn't really another option if you want your privacy respected. Google don't respect your privacy and Microsoft can't offer big picture solutions that just work with no fuss.

tbh I've had almost exclusively hostile(-ish) exchanges on lemmy as well, but obviously going back to that morally bankrupt place isn't gonna be the answer.

Must be why he's not on the ballot and imprisoned instead.
