@johnserwach @plutus @protecttruth @rubecube12 I can, and will, do this if necessary. Zero chance I will lose any data. Q is only if I will have to reinstall programs all day long. But any files, I've got 'em.
@johnserwach @plutus @protecttruth @rubecube12 In one way ... I wouldn't mind terribly too much starting with a clean system (since I have any needed data). No doubt I've some registry bloat I could do without. 😂

For someone who's so deeply contemplative to throw out something so trite & gratuitous as comparing Pelosi to Madison freakin Cawthorn

@ForeignSubstance @johnserwach @protecttruth @rubecube12

Dan - How tf can a liberal kid like Mitch single out Fauci for rebuke? All the administrative brass & politicos knew about the US funding Wuhan. The article actually proves that the US weren't aware of the day to day.
Where is the god damn evidence that Fauci promoted gain of function research???

Bombshell report: Was Covid caused by a lab leak after all?

A report by the US Office of Inspector General found the country's medical research agency did not correctly review whether the tests in Wuhan involved pathogens with pandemic potential.

@johnserwach @plutus @ForeignSubstance @protecttruth

Companies that dont make money are a drain on gdp. They dont add to the pie. They are a zero sum game

@plutus @johnserwach @ForeignSubstance @protecttruth

Yes, however. I make money. My service is useful. Uber doesnt. It needs to figure shit out

@ForeignSubstance @plutus @rubecube12 @protecttruth

But they still serve a purpose if they are employing many- as long as they keep it close to breakeven.

@ForeignSubstance @johnserwach @plutus @protecttruth

I think uber isnt a drain because all the small businesses that use it (uber drivers) are very profitable@ so if you add up all tbose profits and subtract Uber's losses you get a very profitable ecosystem.

@johnserwach @plutus @protecttruth @ForeignSubstance

If I was an employee of uber. Uber would be getting those profits and I would be paid 18 dollars an hour plus tips instead of 40 dollars an hour

@plutus @ForeignSubstance @protecttruth @rubecube12

So you agree, it’s not REALLY a zero sum game ?

Still beautiful-by the way-

@ForeignSubstance @plutus @johnserwach @protecttruth

Its a zero sum game, but you weren't counting its components. It has to raise prices on drivers to break even. Meaning my profits are inflated by its losses. So it is a zero sum game.

@johnserwach @ForeignSubstance @protecttruth @plutus

if it made money it would be growing the pie. Profitability = society's recognition of usefulness. Unprofitable businesses are not useful they dont make profit. They are not of service and there is no benefit derrived

@ForeignSubstance @protecttruth @plutus @rubecube12

Except you spend the money somewhere else- so indirectly you are growing the pie via Uber- if Uber ceases to exist you will then be shrinking the pie.

@ForeignSubstance @plutus @protecttruth @rubecube12

So, to test Elon I created another Twitter account and I already got it suspended!! Wtf - free speech my ass! #nazi

@protecttruth @rubecube12 @ForeignSubstance @plutus

To get out or to get suspended ?

@rubecube12 @plutus @protecttruth @ForeignSubstance

I think this got me suspended

@rubecube12 @plutus @protecttruth @ForeignSubstance

And then I took a Turing test to get unsuspended

@protecttruth @plutus @ForeignSubstance @rubecube12 and yet, it wasn’t that long ago Al gore was elected Senator there.
@johnserwach @protecttruth @plutus @rubecube12 So what do we think, guys?
@plutus @ForeignSubstance @protecttruth @rubecube12 you’re ready for league of legends 😂taking full advantage of PCIe 4.0

@johnserwach @plutus @protecttruth @rubecube12 Am I doing something wrong here? The main NVMe drive, two other Sata SSDs (one about 4 yrs old, the other about 1), mounted fine internally.

Two Samsung T7s mounted via fast USB in the rear.

All fine. But I want to use CrystalDiskInfo to analyze a 10 yr old SSD. Sata to USB adapter cable. System doesn't see it. I think the disk is still good, but yeah, old.

@johnserwach @protecttruth @rubecube12 @plutus This one is just sata to usb-A, which ought to be okay for a 10-yr-old device?

@ForeignSubstance @protecttruth @rubecube12 @plutus

Some adapter will need 3.0 Port or two USB ports in order to reach the required voltage. I’m assuming that would be a 3.0 port but not necessarily if it’s in an obscure spot, should be able to tell in control panel.

@johnserwach @protecttruth @rubecube12 @plutus Same adapter, same port, read newer disks fine.

Could be the disk has finally died?

@johnserwach I suppose the older gear could require more juice?

@ForeignSubstance

Don’t you have a sata cable in the box you can connect it to just check ? If you know it’s good you can transfer the porn off that one later 😉

@johnserwach You know, I have plenty of POWER sata cables, but I'm fresh out of data connectors at the moment. 😂
@johnserwach Thanks. Now I'm curious. I didn't think I had any usb 2 at all on this box. I will have to recheck.
@ForeignSubstance it does seem like an odd place to cut corners but, u never know.
@johnserwach FWIW, the connectors on the front of the case are blue ... so *supposed* to be 3.0, right?

@ForeignSubstance

Not sure about the “blue” but generally the ones in the front are the better one.

@johnserwach My faster ones are in the back.

a pair of 3.2 gen 1 type-A

one 3.2 gen 2x2 C-type

a pair of 3.2 gen 1 A-types

a pair of 3.2 gen 2 A-types

a 3.2 gen 1 C-type

@ForeignSubstance

Can u remove a diffeeent drive and insert this one?

@johnserwach Mount internally, you mean? Yeah, I could, but it's starting to get dark a bit. 😂😂

@johnserwach OTOH, I look pretty cute lying on the floor holding this big torch between my chin and my tities, working on this thing. 😂

Small hands are definitely a plus for this kind of stuff.

@ForeignSubstance

In that case, By all means, carry on😉

@johnserwach The drive that wasn't recognized started getting pretty warm, much warmer than other drives that were recognized and had no I/O problems on the same port & same adaptor.
@ForeignSubstance yeah I guess white are 1.0, black 2.9, blue 3.0
@johnserwach I'll try it in one of the back ports where I have faster usb-A, but I don't know if that makes any power difference.

@ForeignSubstance

I believe 3.0 supplies more power.

@rubecube12 @plutus @protecttruth @ForeignSubstance could be but usually they just randomly erase stuff on the drive first.

Some of the older drives need more power than the newer ones.
