We should all begin hanging festive images of pickled children- it is obviously the only way to truly celebrate St Nick and the holiday season.

We already do that!

Oh come now, you didn't really think those tiny, wrinkled employees were elves did you?

    Maybe try streaming games or something like that? There's lots of ways to put yourself out there without literally putting yourself out there. What sorts of things bring you joy that you could share with the world?

    So I just found a file on my SSD that I can't read fully anymore. Worried. Got the stats. I don't really know much about SSDs. Does this mean this one might begin failing on me?

    I have the same model for the old system's 3rd drive (but I don't remember its values) and my understanding of SMART leads me to think you're alright. But, I can't speak to problems with individual model's lifetimes.

    It's always a good idea to have backups even if it's healthy, though.

    Nah, it's a scale from 100 to 0, so you're fine. That 99% Good up at the top is usually the best overall indicator.

    Files that can't be read or fully read can also be caused by poorly written programs that don't edit or save them right or a number of other things.

    My OCZ from 2012 has been used heavy and it's only at 95%. It also uses the "Good" rating; it's not exclusive to Samsung's thing.

    What are you looking at that's saying your not fine?

    It's annoying when you get that firefighter instinct "this place is about to collapse" about a website and you're already so fucking busy.

    I really don't have time to try to archive this site before it implodes, so I gotta try to ignore all the signs while hoping someone else archives it.

    (note that I didn't mention which site I'm talking about: this is on purpose)

    @foone

    What do you use to archive it?

    I have a mostly-text online manual for some old abandonware tech hosted at the whim of its corpowners that I'd really hate to lose. I've been meaning to figure out something to get it backed up but everything seems to be manually, one-page-at-a-time and it's rather expansive.

    I find it weird that the internet generation: the people that prefer emails over meetings, texts over phone calls, are the ones producing tutorials and lessons in video only format.

    We all know that we prefer text because it's adaptive to your own speed of consumption; is searchable; is archivable.

    So why is that being tossed away for tutorials? I get that for some video is better, but video only? It's such a poor format "I remember this said something I want to reference" scrub around

    DrGravitas,

    @mattwilcox

    It's simple: the tutorial makers use video for their own benefit, not for the user's consumption. It's considerably easier to fire up OBS, run through performative steps, yammer off some basic explanations, and move on to the next monetizable video. Couple that with the unfathomable audience size and reach available on YouTube or what have you, and you have the inescapable gravity of the video tutorial.
