My pricing experience is from Europe so that could be a different approach to their markets.

Good luck!

Sorry for that hazzle! My story is quite different but exactly the same: my father in law “didn’t get around” to do backups and lost his HDD full of important photos and documents.

That said: I’m quite sure that there are huge regional differences. Without knowing your country just keep that in kind.

I phoned around several companies. I had a simple first benchmark: either directly speak with a tech savvy person (big plus) or being forwarded to one.

That eliminated already half of them who had more business than tech.

The important thing to look out for in hindsight is their transport standards, i.e. how does the broken disk get to them and how does the rescued data get back?

Be careful of companies who have the potential to take the disk hostage (“we give a quote after first analysis”).

Paying per file rescued sounds weird to me because that’s not how the rescue process usually works from what I understand.

The company I went with was very upfront about the best and worst case what to expect, etc. They were very transparent about the risks and their process as well.

Nearly all of the critical data was rescued and delivered on an encrypted disk. The key was handed out after final payment - a process I quite liked.

In short: talk to the people and find a way to figure out whom you trust most.

But that’s not what OP asked / wanted to dicuss? The person you’re attacking simply answered the original question:

“would it be a danger to the whole of humanity or our evolutionary progress?”

While I think the data alignes with your observation and your interpretation of the risks are on point it deviates from the point the person you answered to.

Nah, too focused and not enough repetition and generalizations ;)

Main reason for answering: thanks!

♥! :)

I have to make this nitpick:

“you” are the one keeping you on windows. You decide that those features are more important than any disadvantages.

Which I think is absolutely OK - that’s your choice. Many many people took this choice for a myriad of reasons and are the sum of “windows majority” - and no “I would change if” will perpetuate either feature development on Linux programs nor pressure on Microsoft.

That makes sense, thanks for the link! Will give it a read later :)

But it’s in the headline as well - that there should be a cause by the waves themselves - or perhaps I’m over reading the marketing side of science articles once more!

Can someone explain this part: “Such mergers are directly caused by gravitational waves.”.

I would’ve described it the prize way around, that only the merger of neuron stars provide enough gravitational energy to result in measurable gravitational waves - but this article claims that it’s the other way around…?

OK now I have to escape to really smart assery and assume that’s what I meant the whole time ;)

Edit code 2 describes something that went wrong - but that something telling you that it went wrong was the tar binary which therefor most have been valid to evaluate that!

Under no circumstances did I assume that the hint towards help itself would’ve been an exit code 0, no sir!

To be honest: if I’d designed that bomb it would’ve exploded in my face for trying to be too clever.

tar

Done. That’s a valid command, no error code, nothing. KISS!

It’s not about “stupid” for me but about the amount of loadedness in a question. There are indeed no stupid questions - but there are stupid assumptions.

Even one answer from. OP in it’s often easy to see if they want to generate knowledge of search confrontation.

I will borrow The fisher-Price phrasing, thank you for that! Fully agree on the cura part.

I can’t answer that and it’s a valid question in my opinion. If I had to guess I’d speculate about disagreements in code style, build pipeline or similar.

Although I’d love to agree superslicer has sadly nowhere near the development power of prusa behind them - and feature parity is rarely given, basically any release of the two has “oh I want both of those!” (don’t know if it’s spelled correctly but arachnid mode for example was hyped to a point I checked back with prusa after a few months).

I just want to point it out in case people expect a “prusaslicer” but better in every regard :)

I’m just saying that I see that those two statements can exists at the same time without a huge mental leap - not that I agree with it - I apologize if I didn’t make that clear enough in the first post!

I read it like:

Mimic, pace of tone and body language are parts of the work.

That they don’t hit the main part (I.e the humor) is just the icing.

Perhaps I’m top lenient though.

That’s a huge today-I-learned for me, thank you! I took ill throw xeyes on it just to use ssh - C for the first time in my life. I actually assumed wrong.

I’ll edit my post accordingly!

(edit: here was wrong information - I apologize to the OP!)

Plus a GUI install is not exactly the best for reproducability which at least I aim for with my server infrastructure.

You’re spot on!

Your choice of words made me think though:

Isn’t the dead body the one ingesting the forrest and the native maggots and flies just clean up?
