ZFS is fantastic and it can indeed restore files that have been encrypted as long as you have an earlier snapshot.

However, it would not have helped in this scenario. In fact, it might have actually made recovery efforts much more difficult.

It could have helped by automatically sending incremental snapshots to a secondary drive, which you could then have restored the original drive from. However, this would have required the foresight to set that up in the first place. This process also would not have been quick; you would need to copy all of the data back just like any other complete drive restoration.

I mean yes, please vote people.

However the supreme court is stacked because Bitch McConnell is a piece of shit.

50k and paying 15k, because that person is living within their means. They probably share a shitty apartment with roommates and have a crappy car, but they can sustain their lifestyle. Eventually they will retire with investments covering the exact same income that they have now.

100k paying 50k is a hot shot, a flash in the pan. They have a higher quality of life right now, but they will likely crash and burn. They cannot live and invest enough money to sustain their lifestyle, and they won’t know what to do when they suddenly have to live on half of what they used to make.

Making more money does not mean you have better finances, it usually just means you own more expensive stuff right now.

Edit: the one exception is the 100k paying 50k and then living like the 50k paying 15k for literally everything else. They are not the norm, but those people will probably be ok. They’ll have to move when they retire though, or have like no paid fun ever.

It’s extremely difficult to pull off today, but that doesn’t mean that it isn’t an appropriate figure. The “wants” and “investment” categories have effectively been wiped out for a large number of people, which isn’t a healthy and sustainable way to live long term.

This is what the entire “living wage” argument is based on. Regular people aren’t making enough money to have a healthy budget. Well, some are just over inflating wants, but that’s not the people I’m talking about.

30% is widely considered to be the most you should pay for a living space in order to live a sustainable lifestyle and retire comfortably. It even says in the article that they consider anyone that has to pay more than that to be “cost burdened”.

It usually breaks down somewhere around 30% on housing, 20% on necessary bills, 30% on wants / unnecessary bills, and 20% on retirement investments / savings.

The fact that nearly half of renters cannot do that is the problem that they are trying to highlight, but it doesn’t offer much of a solution. These people will not be able to retire without public assistance (if they can at all), and will likely run into serious struggles long before then.

Uhm… Yes. Like a lot.

They do, but also they lied a shit ton on release. They absolutely also deserve the beating that they got for it.

That’s… Exactly what I was talking about. Master of the content.

I am fully aware that the windows search hides things that you are actually searching for. Particularly if they are system preference apps, and it always goes to bing first regardless.

Also, I bailed as well. I use windows for work and school, otherwise I’m on linux.

They want you to use the search instead of a functional interface. That’s why they keep making the interface worse.

It lets them spy on you through bing, allows them to fill the results with ads, and lets them hide system applications unless you know exactly how to find them.

It’s also them gearing up towards funneling the entire UX through copilot for largely the same reasons.

The entire goal is to flip the operating system from the slave of the user to the master of the content.

I mean… Yes? I hate this idea and Roku will lose me as a customer over this, but yes they are specifically targeting screensavers. Idle time is ad time to these people.

Around here, it’s usually not at a local physical bank. My online high yield savings is currently at 4.5% though; that’s where my emergency funds are.

You need 0° to chill properly though.

Can you name your country? Because, uh… No. If that actually exists where you live though, then that’s awesome. We should have that here.

My point was that it’s not necessary, and the practice increases the likelihood that the entire bin will be thrown out because some consumer didn’t peel them off. Then the company gets to say “we told them to do it, it’s not our fault!”

I do peel these off, but I also think that they are irritating and actively hinder the problem at hand.

Nah, get the fuck outta here with that bullshit.

Ignoring the fact that hardly any plastic is actually recyclable in the first place, your argument is that conscious consumers should accept additional responsibilities on the off chance that it MIGHT actually get recycled?

We figured out how to print on basically any surface a long time ago. How about we hold companies to a standard of responsible packaging, instead of yet again passing the buck to the end user.

Because Tesla was fixing significant safety issues without reporting it to the NHTSA in a way that they could track the problems and source of the issue. The two of them got into a pissing match, and the result is that now all OTA’s are recalls. After this, the media realized that “recall” generates more views than “OTA”, and here we are.

Isn’t that because it can desync the actual keyfob?

Nvm… Clicked the link. That’s exactly why you shouldn’t do that.

Don’t forget paperclips, string, and aerosol cans. Hell, we should probably just ban wire altogether.

Because “the youngest cohort falls for online scams more than the oldest cohort” means the same thing but communicates far less information.

Also they just don’t staff the regular check out lines, so your choice is to leave and go to another store.
