Yes, buy a new computer. A really expensive one.

Gilderoy?

I didn’t. Have been wondering about „what if“ ever since. So save yourself some grief and do it.

Lube?

Sell them. There is a market for that.

Onions

Why?

Here, have this useless chatbot instead.

Have you checked your blood pressure?

Unity was a mountain of bugs though. That wasted a lot of goodwill.

Don’t worry, googles AI and monetization will fix their better search eventually.

That does not matter to the case. Its justice, so it must be done. What the media and the public make from it might be another thing entirely of course.

Hello, this is your IT department/Microsoft/the popes second mistress. We need you to test/revalidate/unfuckulate your Microsoft Authenticator by entering this code….

This has nothing to do with ssd or their size. Harddisks also have a little spare area (though not as big) and can mark and remap failing sectors.

RAID (1) is still (possibly) good for the only thing it ever was (possibly) good for: Keeping the system running long enough for you to put in a new harddisk if one fails.

Think of industrial systems where every minute of downtime can cost thousands of dollars. And even there the usefulness of RAID can be questioned: should you not in that case have a whole spare system, easy to swap in, because more than just storage can fail?

And what about the RAID controller itself? Does it not add complexity and another point of failure to the whole system?

And most importantly: will anyone actually get notified of a failing disk and replace it quickly? Or will the whole thing just prolong the inevitable?

Would you even trust a system that had one disk fail already to keep going in a critical place? Or would it not be safer to just replace the whole thing anyway after one failure?

Windows 7. no ads, no sudden candy crush, no cloud data stealing.

For an intel customer 30% IPC improvement (if it is true), and most likely on the same mainboards, must seem absurd.

No, but why would „gears“ make any difference?

„32.65% better performance“ compared to what? That article is utter garbage.

Don’t rely on the algorithms. They will inevitably steer you towards clickbait, mindless attention whoring and controversy baiting. After all, they are designed for keeping you engaged at the cost of wearing down your attention span.

Instead consider what you are interested in and try to find likeminded people online. From there, look for connections to other places. Those can be links or something someone mentioned. Even in times of Facebook, Reddit etc. there are still some great forums on some topics around. And there are real gems buried under all the crap on YouTube, you just need to find them yourself.

If you just want to browse for interesting videos without a specific topic in mind, try the channels of public broadcasting. PBS, dw, ARTE etc. have great documentaries on all kinds of topics.

Also consider listening to audiobooks. Audible is not that expensive, otherwise some are on YouTube or in some places you can get access to online libraries with a offline library card.
