No, I haven’t heard anything about that and I did some quick searching and couldn’t find anything relevant either. Basically don’t drink it or dump gallons of it in your local river.

It’s a better fucking deal than $76 for 55mbps lol

It definitely is, middle of nowhere Indiana here - I’m getting 1000/1000 for $95 and no cap. But I’m lucky enough to be in a location with competition, lots of areas in the US only have one option so they get charged whatever the ISP wants.

Chances are enterprise drives will last far longer than 5 years easily in my experience, but in my opinion 15% off isn’t enough to justify not having a warranty. I see those sales often enough on legitimate drives.

Enterprise drive sales aren’t restricted in anyway, you just need to buy them from a reputable seller. I personally would avoid Amazon, there are tons of “deals” like the one you found on there and they don’t make it obvious. A legitimate seller example - https://www.connection.com/product/seagate-8tb-exos-7e10-sata-6gb-s-512e-4kn-fastformat-3.5-internal-hard-drive/st8000nm017b/41308811?cac=Result

I haven’t used reddit for like 4 days which probably hasn’t happened since I signed up. I’m planning on staying here. The reddit of today isn’t like it was in 2011, it’s exploded in popularity. If the vast majority people truly cared about poor social media business practices Facebook Meta wouldn’t be around.

I never expected the blackout to kill reddit or even for them backout of the API changes (especially after the spez AMA). But I will say I’m surprised at the influx of people to lemmy, I started on lemmy 5 days ago and even since then there’s been an explosion of content and discussion which has made it a viable alternative for me.

I was a huge lurker on reddit because it seemed like my voice would never be heard or that it was probably already said. I’m trying to break that on lemmy and I encourage everyone else to as well.
