The best option is to get a new hard drive. You can find one for $100.
Then just connect your old drive to the PC with a USB to SATA adapter and copy any files you need.
With the extra drive there is no risk to your data from the install as long as you DON’T CONNECT THE OLD DRIVE DURING THE INSTALL PROCESS, since you could conceivably choose the wrong install disk. If it’s not plugged in then you can’t choose it
That’s a great suggestion! Thank you for posting this
That sounds miserable. I’m sorry your dad can’t respect your boundaries/wishes.
Let’s follow up on this in 12 months.
I suspect it will be worse. Much worse.
Boost is great too
Seems anticompetitive
Start giving their store one star reviews and mention this
I’m willing to bet that Elon donated the money to be kicked back to Twitter in order to fraudulently make it look like revenue was improving.
If you just want opinions then I would say Windows 7.
It was excellent.
By Windows 10, though, they had moved to tiles and there were influences from tablets and mobile on the main OS, which was still terrible on those devices.
And it’s been downhill since then.
Holy crap. Never heard of this. Thanks!
How often do you visually check your butthole when wiping?
We are all blind in the bathroom, my friend.
This is freaking awesome!
How do you make it safe and inviting while also protecting anonymity?
Some anonymous users are prone to pretty awful behavior, and non anonymous users will be profiled.
China filters every byte of Internet traffic in and out of the country.
It seems naive to think they can’t accomplish the same thing for a GitHub mirror.
That’s the whole point of this: they will automatically filter that out, and this is an impotent, though well intended, gesture.
You started here
Personally I think it’s photosynthesis.
Now you’re here
The failure to develop photosynthesis
I think you got it! Good job!
Regardless: photosynthesis is a possible solution to avoid the filter. Not the filter itself.
You can’t filter something in
Your answer doesn’t make sense.
“Photosynthesis” is a positive development for life. The great filter must be a negative development: it’s a filter or a barrier that keeps life from achieving long term extra terrestrial survival.
So “climate change” would be an answer. Or “fuel depletion” (to which photosynthesis may be a solution). But the filter is the mechanism by which life forms are prevented from progressing.
You’re getting good advice here.
“Bricking” though normally means turning a software problem into a hardware problem. You just have a software problem, which is infinitely easier to fix.
Don’t fret.
The economy must transition from fossil fuels to other forms of energy. The longer we take the worse it will be, but nobody in power feels any urgency.
Add to that the GFC of 2008 that we “fixed” by printing money, and which was followed by a global pandemic and financial slowdown that… we fixed by printing money.
Now factor in the fact that we didn’t use 2008 to tighten banking regulation, and we have just as many opaque financial instruments (derivatives, swaps) as we did back then.
And all of this as global warming kicks into absolute overdrive, likely due to a feed forward mechanism being tripped such as the methane release from Siberia and/or the clathrate gun going off.
We are well and truly fucked. This reality is noticable if you’re paying attention, and will slowly become impossible to miss (let alone ignore).
