I just met my new neighbor for the first time, and when we exchanged numbers (by me texting her number) my phone (Pixel 8) showed her full name with a tilde in front of it below the phone number. She’s not in my contacts. Where did it get that name from?
So I have this external 2.5" drive salvaged from an old laptop of mine. I was trying to use it to backup/store data but the transfer to the drive fails repeatedly at the ~290GB mark leading me to believe that maybe there is a bad sector on the drive. I tried to inspect the drive using smartmontools and smartctl but since it is...

btrfs data rescue after I deleted a parent snapshot of my rollback
Can you expand a bit on that? I thought it didn’t matter if you deleted parent snapshots because the extents required by the child would still be there.
I don’t see how systemd has anything like the Windows registry. At least its journals are leagues ahead of Windows event logs, I hate those things and the awful viewer they have.
btrfs check said broken refs and some other errors,
Gotcha. That must have been a kernel bug (or hardware error), none of the userspace utilities could cause it unless they were trying to manipulate the block device directly, which would be really dumb. It’s possible it wasn’t even related to the subvolume manipulation.

It probably comes down to people not being willing to pay twice as much for electricity if the infrastructure can be acquired for half the price elsewhere.
Clueless American here. I saw a commercial for Nationwide bank promising the keep their branches open until at least 2028. Is there a push to close banks? Is this more fallout from Brexit?
I’m not in the industry so I have no idea - is this common rather than having cash collected by G4S & co.?
older people that can’t use web services
I’m guessing they mostly use the phone instead, but probably have no great need to do either.
People that want to talk about their requirements rather than filling out a poorly thought out script on the aforementioned web page
Can also be done on the phone.
I’m not arguing that all banks should close their branches but with the way society works these days I can see how they’re incredibly expensive and inefficient to run.
