I'm so glad you said this; my roommate didn't do this. The (single) bathroom mat would be absolutely soaked when he'd get out of the shower, and would remain that way for hours after. Everytime I mentioned it he'd say "that's what a bathmat is for" and I eventually had someone else mention how they had their socks soaked before I finally got him to start drying himself off first

  • Tidal ($5.82/month student), like my HiFi music, even if it's indistinguishable on most of the speakers I use
  • Nebula ($2.50/month), mostly the same shit as on YouTube but as-free (without adblock) and usually a bit early access
  • PIA (~$2.33/month), avoids a Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, Apple TV+, Discovery +, Paramount+, you get the gist+ subscription. You had a good thing going but you got greedy and fucked it
  • Recurring donation to Lemmy dev ($5/month), despite any of the devs political views, I appreciate the service and continued support of the software and recognize that dev isn't free,though I do need to sit down and set one up for my instance as well as my mastodon & pixelfed instances.

Some of these are yearly but reduced to monthly for ease of viewing

Personally I've used Western Digital, Seagate, and PNY drives with no failures. Stay away from anything HP branded; they don't actually produce drives but rather rebadge other failure-prone models and make it damn near impossible to claim any warranty.

I've had a Samsung Evo drive fail on me, but warranty was pretty easy. I've also had a PNY 2.5" ssd that has never failed on me, but I did break the connector off accidentally. Warranty was actually ridiculously easy on that, despite it being entirely user error.

If data is mission critical, it's worth shelling out extra; stay away from any cheap brands (HP, SanDisk, etc) and opt for the higher end models in reputable brands (Eg WD Red, Purple, and Gold vs Green and Blue, or Seagate Ironwolf or Firecuda)

These are my own personal experiences. Others will have better/worse experiences and I encourage you to seek out others' experiences and options, as well as others to add their own

Friendly reminder that Lexar isn't Micron anymore and was acquired by Longsys. I've had reliability issues with their products since

I wouldn't be surprised if they started working on it, but even if they had a design ready, it wouldn't happen overnight. Apps, and Android itself, don't yet have support for RISC-V (though I believe Android 15 has preliminary support).

At the moment, Qualcomm likely has to bend over and take it

Arcane is a fantastic series, eagerly awaiting the next season. Even my sister is into it (and as far as I know she has no clue what League of Legends is)

Anal (Ubuntu)

Because at this point, if you're still on it you're taking it up the ass from Canonical

If I had stopped reading after 2 seconds I wouldn't know it was the lemonade, something that should be put front and center because if I was a drinker of minute maid zero sugar lemonade and I saw "Coke recalls popular zero sugar drink", I wouldn't've bothered reading further.

Headline could be written better, I warned my friend who's sister is a diabetic before realizing its just the lemonade
