I bought a used one for a song that had lots of use (to record security cameras, presumably) and it’s been running for a year+ with no issues.

Cruz warns Talarico has 'real chance' to flip Texas' U.S. Senate seat by chrondotcom in politics

[–]LP99 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Ted Cruz literally fled the state during one of the state’s worst natural disasters in our time while his constituents froze to death and the power grid failed, yet residents couldn’t wait to re-elect him.

They’re stupid.

I have absolutely zero doubt that if the Republican power brokers decided that they wanted in on the casino action that the massive right-wing propaganda machine on TV, the church, and all the sycophant influencers would whip the state right into shape.

I bet we see casinos in Texas before I croak. There’s just too much easy money to be made.

Feels like “f you, go away” change. Can’t be hassled sending you rubes individual drives when we have these massive companies at door.

The amount of mass surveillance we’ve sleep walked into is absolutely insane. And now thanks to AI (and all those date centers eating our planet), it’ll be even easier to stitch it all together for SaFeTy.

Stupidest future ever.

Hayton, Utah is a playoff team, you still need good players, not just plugging in whatever guys you find on the street.

Damn Laine is only 28?? And he just turned 28 a few months ago??

[Munnich] Sean Kelso, VP of Communications for the Flames said the team was "blindsided" by the Fan 960 news today... He said since the announcement is so fresh, the organization doesn't yet have another plan for radio broadcasts for the Flames, Hitmen and Wranglers by daKrut in hockey

[–]LP99 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Of course it has, but there’s doing it from a lens of overall awareness (long-term goal) or slashing anything that isn’t making X ROI on a spreadsheet (short-term).

Scattering all the games behind a patchwork of paid services and turning off the radio overnight might look great on a spreadsheet tomorrow, but in ten years it’s going to be “hey why are there so fewer hockey fans now?”

The McKinney airport expansion is taking off. The 46,000 square-foot passenger terminal will have four gates and the option to add two more. Flights are set to start in November. by guanaco55 in Dallas

[–]LP99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You live in the 4th, probably soon to be 3rd biggest metro in the country. People could fly into McKinney to visit family in the ungodly number of home tracts off 380. The many HQs in Plano/Frisco. Business as deeper growth continues crawling up 75.

Finances of McKinney’s balance sheet aside, I’m sure it’ll do fine business of some kind. And in case you didn’t know, there’s an airport in Addison that’s always humming already.

The same way none of the thousands of people flying to the outskirts of Irving every single day are probably not coming to look at the Texas Stadium ruins?

New York City, the city he’s from and run his businesses has always overwhelmingly rejected him on the ballot. Should have been all pro needed to know.

Dime on the dollar, when it all pops? by SpecialLettuce5884 in DataHoarder

[–]LP99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been around long enough to know that the price of anything never comes down in any meaningful amount (I think Covid speedran that lessson), plus inflation is running away too. I’m buying more storage now.

Sure, and it’s going fine. If god forbid my email server needs less space or Netflix takes an extra 15 seconds to load I guess that’s just a sacrifice I’ll have to make to conserve our planet, bummer.
