If it is indeed a boneheaded mistake, then it’s probably because of over reliance on RPC-type calls from the front-end that displays the data, to the back-end that actually handles the data. User deletes photo, and the front-end, instead of actually deleting it, tells the backend to do it… and then hides the photo from view, maybe updates its index of photos marking them as “deleted” regardless of whether the backend actually deleted the photo.

Then an OS update comes along, and rescans the filesystem, and report a bunch of new photos to the front-end, that then happily add them to the GUI to the user’s surprise.

Modern APIs and software architectures are a bloated, unnecessarily complex mess, and this is the result.

From that article they say they will issue refunds if there is a technical issue with the game. Thus, if you live in a country where PSN is not available, you could go that route. “I’m trying to sign up for multiplayer but I can’t because my country is not listed. Therefore multiplayer is broken and I want a refund, because this is a technical issue; a part of the game isn’t working.”

May be worth a shot…

Actually the ad matches the article. To me the ad is “fringe” and it has infested the “mainstream” (CNN).

If this is their attitude to a clear self-inflicted fuckup, then that’s plenty reason for me to avoid them and their services. It’s not like their services were distinct in any way… just a dime in a dozen cloud provider.

Ah yes, simplicity. MBR, with all its limitations had one killer feature: it was extremely simple.

UEFI, as powerful as it is, is the opposite of simple. Many moving parts, so many potential failure points. Unfortunately, it seems like modern software is just that: more complex and prone to failure.

You should see/try socialist/communist toilet paper. Not only is it thin like this, it will also no-so-gently exfoliate your anus.

    Assuming you were using a Linux software RAID, you should be able to recover it.

    The first step would be to determine what kind of RAID you were using… btrfs, zfs, mdraid/dmraid/lvm… do you know what kind you set up?

    To start the process, try reconnecting your RAID disks to a working Linux machine, then try checking:

    1. The sudo lsblk command will help you get a list of all connected disks, sizes and partitions.
    2. The partition tables on the disks, eg: sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda (that’s a lowercase L and /dev/sda is your disk)
    3. Assuming you use a standard Linux software RAID, try sudo mdadm --examine /dev/sda1. If all goes well, the last command should give you an idea of what state the disk is in, what RAID level you had, etc.
    4. Next, I would try and see if mdadm can figure out how to reassemble the array, so try sudo mdadm --examine --scan. That should hopefully produce output with the name of the RAID array block device (eg, /dev/md0), RAID level and members of the RAID array (number of disks). Let me know what you discover…

    Note: if you used zfs of btrfs, do not do steps 3 and 4; they are MD RAID specific.

    Here’s another video demonstrating the effect of an MRI magnet on non-ferromagnetic metals (aluminum in this case).

    How is this not the most upvoted comment? I just do not understand!

    On a more serious note, yes, this is extremely dangerous and the rear tire should be replaced before anyone rides this bike.

    Librewolf is probably a safer choice.

    All solutions that integrate with banking sites I’ve ever encountered were nothing more but ugly hacks, IMHO. I’m curious about FileThis, as I’d never heard if it before, and would also love a similar system.

    Maybe a self-hosted document management system that can parse key info from credit card statement PDFs, such as the balance and due date? I somehow doubt that automated retrieval of statements is something that any commercial company, or open source project, can implement reliably. To this end, I’m not sure what’s worse; the financial industry, or the medical records industry. Both are stuck in the past and highly conservative.

    You can turns that off… also those ads are text notifications that are shown at predetermined (by the user) time intervals.

    I sympathize with artists too, but to a point. I predict that:

    1. AI art will overtake human art eventually; that is human art jobs will be mostly replaced. Day to day art (e.g. ads, illustrations, decorations, billboards etc) will likely be AI generated.
    2. Human art will become something akin to a home cooked meal in a sea of fast food art. This might actually make some artists famous and rich.
    3. Humans will continue to learn art, but more as a pastime/hobby/mental exercise.

    For starters, I just want to clarify that this isn’t a shot at OP, more so this is a criticism of the linked article.

    So the article can be summarized as such:

    1. Ransomware is a problem
    2. There are Linux versions now.
    3. Some comments about Linux being on 3% of the desktops now. Not sure what the point of this was… since the author then says that Windows is still 80%?
    4. Linux servers are a much bigger/viable target, because the Internet runs on Linux, including financial sector, databases, “always on” systems, etc etc…
    5. Ends the article with generic best practices like “deploy modern EDR” and “proper backups”.

    All in all, this article contributes very little in terms of informing the reader or making any sort of original or insightful claim.
