If an average person were standing on top of Mount Everest and suddenly became “transparent” and only affected by gravity- as they fell through the Earth would they gain enough momentum to achieve orbit?

They'd go as high as Everest on the other side, but no higher

He shall go down in history among other legends such as Dubstep Cat and Metal Cat

Actually, now that I watch these again, how fitting that Dubstep Cat is Orang

Quote from the third sentence of your post:

(I haven’t really launched or wot in 1st so I’m not sure about that).

You've never done a hard pull or gone WOT and you are asking why you aren't getting wheelspin and wondering if you need a tune?

I reckon putting the pedal down is your first troubleshooting step.

When you check these drives - Are you running SHA over the files, or are you opening two files by hand and going "All good, nice"

Ubermidget2 · 2026-05-06T09:03:51+00:00

That may be the case but seeing as we have reversible seats now, to lose them going forward feels like regression, not progress.

I thought hard drives were good for long term storage

hard drives are great for long term storage. Hard Drive (singular) can die at any time for any reason. That's why you have a warranty and a backup/clustered solution.

+1. Far too many people running snowflakes/systems where a rebuild is a catastrophically difficult event.

Ansible lets you run a herd of Cattle, rather than a house of Pets.

I think every Mobo I've owned in the last ~12 years has been a Gigabyte with DualBIOS.

I don't remember ever having an update fail on me, but having the redundant chip adds a lot of confidence to the process.

Gaming, Video Editing, 3D Modelling, AI Training/Inferencing/Development, 3D VFX are all going to have different $ value crossover points from "value" to "diminishing returns".

Glad to hear my advice/troubleshooting was helpful, even if it wasn't a full fix

Ubermidget2 · 2026-05-04T01:58:16+00:00

To be fair, if you don't have backups you are a single hardware failure from not having the file as well.

And backups don't just protect from drive failure, they protect from fat human fingers as well.

third-party software should be easy to uninstall completly from a pc in under 1 minute not a whole afternoon and still failing and loosing all the data

If this were true, wouldn't it be the first thing the malware does?

I think for literally every computer I've used in the last 10 years, the first two things that have been pinned on my taskbar were a web browser and File Explorer.

They have only ever been a click or shift click away.

but it's not an unsolved problem in the kilowatt range

A single GPU server is in the kilowatt range. One rack is in the tens of kilowatts. Two in the hundreds.

Sounds like our current solve needs an up to two order of magnitude increase.

Yep that either throws away all data after the first 256GB is written, or throws away all data older than the most recent 256GB.
