Huh, one is holding the other in their arms. With the hubbub, I thought they’d be 69ing or something. People really have to make a big deal out of everything…

Yet another job being lost to AI.

I say this a lot, but “nomacs” image viewer/editor. I take a lot of time lapse videos and I have directories of like, 50000 identically-sized images each on a smb server over gigabit ethernet and nomacs can open from a directory and quickly cycle through the photos using the arrow keys, without resetting the current pan/zoom setting (important for me), without any trouble. It takes about as long to open the directory of photos as it takes for my samba client to download the directory data.

It also has a lot of cool little quality of life features, including lots of shortcut keys for overlaying metadata and such. It has basic image editing capability as well. The only other image viewer I use is digikam, which is more for organizing personal photos. Otherwise it’s all nomacs, baby.

Yes actually. Knew a guy that talked about it to close friends a lot in the late 90s. He’s (she’s) openly trans now.

If you are getting actual hardware/sata errors on the host (not sure if that’s exactly what’s happening from your description), and multiple drives have had a similar problem, I’d suspect the sata cable or controller/mobo. Intel had a lot of weird sata issues on their older chipsets, so I’d also recommend making sure it has the latest bios update. Could you be more specific on what kind of hardware errors are showing up? Like, maybe parts of the logs.

You’re forgetting the 10 minutes of mandatory Windows updates.

I live near multiple major Boeing facilities and so a large percentage of the local population works there. Boeing, due to their hiring practices and sort of employee abuse and such, basically create (or attract) a creepy cult of weird psychotic narcissists, especially the white-collar workers. Not everyone that works there is like that, but the ones that work there for 20+ years almost always are. I have numerous relatives and know lots of other people who work there and they are all creepy, balding, extremely self-important and abusive people. Now other people may pipe in and say that they have a very different experience, but that’s been mine. Oh, and they all want everyone they come across to know that they work at Boeing. It’s a core part of their identity. They are desperate to impress everyone.

My most recent experience with long-term Boeing employees was my psychopath uncle-in-law seemingly tried to murder his wife when she decided to divorce him after 20 years of abuse, mostly because it would have looked bad at work and made it harder for him to make “executive”.

Honestly I relish in the lowering status of Boeing and its employees. It’s been a long time coming. They make some shitty jets these days, they have shitty business practices, there’s something clearly wrong with their corporate culture, and their cult of creeps have been a pain in everyone else’s asses for many years.

I guess that’s all a long way of saying that Boeing probably doesn’t even have to hire anyone to kill whistleblowers. I would not be shocked if a “good employee” took it upon themselves to do it.

Never connect your smart TV to the internet. Just don’t do it. Get a third party device or ideally use an old PC with an appropriate HTPC Linux distro or something.

The site has plenty of good content, just no way to find it.
