This is a highly concerning allegation, and it does explain some interesting results I've noticed lately. I've wondered why, especially when searching for products, an expected result isn't there unless I invoke it by name. I'd chalked it up to their competition having more mindshare and thus a higher page rank score. Now I'm not so sure.

Worse, it somewhat supports claims that the far-right has been making, although those claims still completely miss the mark.

Legislation and enforcement. There are countless laws on the books that are not enforced. Generally speaking, they may as well not exist.

It's a valid question, even if your scenario isn't plausible. The very point is that all data is ephemeral - there is no "data at rest" to be compromised. But the problem is that this data is very, very important. It would include (among other things) account information. If all of the servers power off simultaneously (for whatever reason), then yes, it would likely destroy them. More likely is a software fault that causes each system to crash, or lose/corrupt that data.

But there are ways around this, too. I have no idea which (if any) of these they are doing, just that these are options. They already probably sync data among running servers, it will just now be done exclusively in RAM. They can have "seed" distributed servers, running an entirely different codebase, simply to house this data. They would also be diskless, but mostly unconnected to the standard operational servers. From an architecture and design standpoint, these would work a lot like disks.

Distributed is also a key word - it wouldn't be a single server, rack, or even datacenter that would need to collapse. It would be to be all of them, or at least sever their connections to each other.

(Side note: Going diskless addresses concerns about data security for data at rest. It does nothing about data in motion)

TL;DR: Theoretically yes, but it would take a lot more than that.

I wouldn't even expect her to be good at that. She has the same personality as those who are bad at it- arrogant, condescending, etc. The traits that make her a bad person also tend to make bad lovers.

The 840 G1 is extremely old, featuring a 4th Gen Haswell CPU and integrated graphics. It also likely had a mechanical hard drive and 4gb RAM. These were common enterprise machines, but they have all been phased out - possibly several times over.

$30-60 is on the low end, but not excessively so. In 2018 I picked up a comparable Lenovo Thinkpad 3rd Gen for about $100. 5 years later and 1 generation newer, $60 is reasonable.

Will this meet OP's needs? Tough to say. SSD and a RAM upgrade are worthy investments, which will drive up the price, but it can handle lighter tasks.

Just be careful that many of these have the hard drive removed (data security), and many of them also remove the hard drive caddy (because that's faster). You would need a replacement caddy and drive

Being a registered Republican doesn't even necessarily mean agreeing with them. In my state, registering as a Republican allows you to vote in the Republican primaries. Regardless of who wins that, the Republican is likely to win in the general election.

Registering as a Republican gives me the most opportunity to elect the least shitty candidate.

I don't buy it. Not in the US, at least. Even if that was exclusively spent on rent alone, that would put it at $417/month. The only way you're doing that is if you own (at least bought before the real estate spikes since ~2017) or you have a personal relationship with the landlord and are getting well below market rates. Or if you live in a van down by the river.

And that's even before things like food, insurance, etc.

Don't forget magnesium! I like Natural Calm, which becomes magnesium citrate when mixed with water. Avoid magnesium oxide, which is typically used as a laxative.

Mix it all with your preferred flavoring, such as Mio drops. Keto forums call this ketoade/ketorade.

Side note: different sweeteners are radically different. Stevia, sucralose, saccharine, aspartame, erythritol, etc all have different properties. Some have weird flavors, feels, or gastro effects, and affect each person differently. Saccharine is often called bitter; stevia is often described as metallic; erythritol has a cooling mint-like feeling.

The original ones, yes. But modern Gatorade is just sugar water, with very little electrolytes

There are many, many ways to transfer files. Many phones present themselves as a Mass Storage device (i.e. same as a thumb drive). Others use the Media Transfer Protocol. In any case, your device end has to be configured as such, which cannot be done from a Windows host. USB on the Go (and by extension, USB-C) offers some very limited abilities for something to switch between host and device (master/slave), but it's up to each device to enable that functionality.

When most of us share files on a PC, we are using SMB. This is what Windows typically means by sharing files, and is network-based.

Regardless, you always have to configure each side on what/how to share, and how to access that share. Most phones have a default configuration for this (and it's not everything on your phone), and Windows makes this type of access easy and direct. Again, there are other options, such as the Android Debug Bridge, which are much more complicated.

(As for the identifying chip, there are chips that present themselves in different ways on demand. It is a massive security risk, and has been exploited in the past. Examples are fake keyboards, fake network adapters, and even fake storage - although that's usually technically real, and used to deliver a malicious payload)

Connect 2 computers together to do what, exactly? The most common answers (e.g. sharing files) are all network-based. This cable definitely does not create a network connection

Laplink is a major product that still does this. In the center is a controller that acts as a device to both ends, letting both PCs act as a host.

It still requires their software to make use of this connection, though.
