You’re putting the cart before the horse. Tell us the specific situational problem that you’re trying to solve. Like what ultimate end result are you trying to achieve.
That way we can help you achieve what you’re actually trying to achieve
So in order to get a refund, Walmart wants the customer to hold on to a gloppy mess, and then have them personally travel to a store to bring the glop into a brick n mortar location, for a product that they paid to have Walmart deliver to their house, all just for walmart to refund the customer a measly 8 dollars back, for a fuck up that was all Walmart’s fault?
That’s insanity.
In all the other grocery delivery services, when a customer calls in to report that an item is missing or damaged then the company simply refunds the customer for that item, no questions asked. Which is obviously the correct way to do things.
This person was NOT being unreasonable. If you were the customer service person in this conversation then i would double check that you’re actually following Walmart’s procedures for damaged inexpensive food items.
It’s amazing how very far ahead siri was at the beginning, and how extremely far behind it became. It’s a massive miss for Tim Cook’s Apple
Very interesting to know, but i just looked it up and it still seems expensive in the long run. Azure’s cheapest storage tier is 1 dollar per TB per month. So 5 TB of backup would cost 60 bucks a year, but a 5 TB drive costs about 120 bucks. So after 2 years of cloud backup it costs you an extra 60 bucks a year every year vs. if you just bought a hard drive.

Seagate have always worked perfectly for me (knock on wood). And to avoid counterfeits i only buy hard drives from a physical store of a large retailer chain. You’ll pay a little bit more, but really only a very little more, and you’ll know that what you’re buying is an authentic drive that came directly from the manufacturer
“best” depends on the particulars of your situation. Cloud backup is one of the easiest but over time can be expensive. In the long run buying a second same-sized drive is cheaper than online backup, but it requires more money up front, and having the original and backup in the same physical location doesn’t protect against local disasters like a waterpipe bursting flood. There are specialized tape drives for backups, which are cheap per mb and so you can make lots of separate backups which makes your data safer, but they’re very slow to read and write. And there’s other option too, like optical disks, raid arrays, etc.
Best i can really say is to do some online research to figure out what’s right for your particular case.
Don’t forget to back up to other additional drives!
Consolidating all your data into one drive is very convenient, but if you aren’t backing it all up then it’s only a matter of time until you lose everything. If you’re gonna have a bunch of small drives hanging out you can use them as a backup. You could even set them up into a RAID, but I’ve never actually done that so i can’t vouch for it

Love it! Glad to have you here!
You clearly never checked, because it’s a name used for both genders
I don’t know, but Trump is the one who said that. He went on a long screed about how Mexicans who are crossing the border are criminals and rapists and drug dealers, and then at the very end of the rant he quietly threw in “and some, I assume, are good people”
I think decent is the correct word
And fire departments, libraries, public schools, police departments, etc etc etc. Every government service funded by taxes are all socialist. And I’m sure OP doesn’t want to eliminate the police, do you OP?
Definitely just a rock. Here’s a link where you can see lots of rocks with interesting markings, including a bunch that look like yours but with even more delineated markings.

OP if you’re thinking of this as anything other than just a regular rock then I’d suggest maybe getting in touch with your doctor
Just torrent the music you want
Like, in real time? That’s an obvious no. It would be literally torture. Not being able to do anything other than just sitting in the same spot and watching a window for essentially eternity would make you literally insane. What a horror show experience

And on top of which, these are definitely noisy nuisances, and as a result people are gonna fuck with them, and it’s inevitable that eventually it’s gonna hurt someone, which’ll cause a huge backlash and expensive lawsuits, etc etc etc.
The only situation i can see these being even potentially viable is in very rural areas, where delivery routes are expensive, people have lots of open land for it to safely reach the ground, and there aren’t a lot of nearby neighbors to annoy
