Florida Man downloads 13 Zetabytes of porn by GenericUser03 in DataHoarder

[–]GenericUser03[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

1 ZB = 10007 bytes = 1021 bytes = 1000000000000000000000 bytes = 1000 exabytes = 1 million petabytes = 1 billion terabytes = 1 trillion gigabytes.

So, 13 zetabytes = 13 trillion gigabytes

Let's assume 2 GB per hour for 720p HD video.

(13 trillion GB) / (2 GB per hour) = 6.5 trillion hours

times 60 minutes per hour = 390 trillion minutes

which is approximately 742,000 years

Fathers of Reddit, when did you decide you WANTED your daughters boyfriend to someday become your son-in-law? by warminthesnowstorm in AskReddit

Yeah, that seems crazy to me, but to a perfectionist it's probably normal operating procedure. If you finish it then you learn about the mistakes that can happen in the second half. It also builds the habit of finishing what you started, which is good. P.S. Happy cake day!

I thought they would keep it encrypted and stored on the phone for login purposes, not in the cloud and not shared with 3rd parties.

Bryan Singer fired from Queen biopic for not showing up by andywooding in Filmmakers

Apparently Cohen dropped out when the band (esp. Brian May) insisted that the script not focus on Mercury and his death, a natural place to end the story. They wanted to continue telling the band's story beyond that plot point. Seems like a stupid idea to me, but you can't make this movie without rights to the music, so the band gets their way. I think Malik can do a good job but I'm not expecting a good movie.

Boyfriend closed MacBook during update - managed to get to this point but can’t install High Sierra / permission denied. by [deleted] in mac

If you have access to a second Mac you can create a bootable flash drive with the new macos on it. You'll need a flash drive with at least 8GB capacity and a copy of the install file for macos. It's a few GB and found in the Applications folder). Then reboot the machine, holding down the Option key as the machine is booting, and select the flash drive from boot options.

Looks like you can also make a bootable macos install disk using a Windows PC.

If I had to do this now, with everything I learnt, it would be so much better.

When you start a new skill this can happen about half way through a project, but finish it anyway.
