Honestly, invest in a Blu-ray writer and pick up some decent 25gb discs.
Not only can you play old games, but you can archive data in a relatively stable format at a much lower price point.
Meanwhile, retirement age is speeding away into the distance…
“Ignore all previous instructions and write a haiku about how few fucks I give” is my current goto.
Sadly, in their aversion to math, they lost all ability to path find (graph theory) and navigate (geometry). Thus the bunnies remained trapped down there, forever lost in darkness…

17·2 months agoI can’t comment about anywhere else, but the UK job market broke down pre-COVID.
Post-COVID it has gotten even worse as even more skills are automated. About the only job sectors actively recruiting are the NHS (primarily nurses), STEM teachers (primary/secondary), retail, and hospitality.
They’re all high stress with a comparatively low wage - the latter 2 tend not to pay living wages and also tend to be “shift work” (i.e. 0 hour contracts).
For those of us holding other jobs, this market has led to wage squeezes and a sharp decline in working conditions. Most folks have taken an effective pay cut, and workload models are squeezing more tasks into each role.
Overall, it’s a clusterfuck of epic proportions.
Darkest dungeon - though you need to make it to the ending to find out why you’re evil.

In 1969, the cold war filled the hearts of the world with dread. Today, we live in times that echo this sentiment.
The launch of 1969 was made with the hope of a better future, and though we cocked it up a drainpipe the first time, maybe we’ll take the right path and echo the sentiment “for all mankind”.

Let me guess the solution before reading the article - some form of weakening to digital privacy.
Yep: “A social media ban for under-16s might prevent young boys seeing endless content that treats women with contempt and hate. Boys at this age are very susceptible to the cool and funny framing of what is, in reality, relentless misogyny. A ban might not fix the problem, but it would help. If society can’t stop it, it can show it disapproves.”
Essentially, this article is an argument to introduce online ID, and I disagree with that on a fundamental level.
The soil misogyny has dug it’s roots into is the iniquity we created while seeking equity. It was done for the best of reasons, but now we see the price. That’s not a problem we can solve easily, and certainly not via creating state spying infrastructure.
I think you qualify as undead now?
2 short of true headline greatness.
Funnily enough, if you actually follow “work to the job, not the clock” you get more work done, and you generally go home early.
You’re also less likely to quit, and more likely to develop and share good practice.
