This hour, a new sensation will sweep across the globe, the creators of “top 10 lists” return to ask the questions that nobody else will in “Articles Like These”, staring A.L. Clanker (coming soon to screens near you).

And here’s why public archival is so important.

I would not be surprised if whatever person in charge of the archive, if there is/was one, has advocated for a 3-2-1 solution. But the hoops were too much to get through to have a fucking back up system beyond a relying on random storage company. That or it was someone who’s been in the job sense they converted the tapes to digital and has just been coasting along uploading stuff for the past 20 years.

Hmm, that is true.

I always just pressed the shutdown button if I was putting it in a bag. If I was only moving from one place to another, then I wouldn’t want it turn off for just closing it.

Yeah, that’s a cursed setup, must be set to shutdown on lid close, but also it doesn’t hang if there is an unsaved document like every other time?

And no habitual Ctrl+s after every sentence or two? If the kid didn’t wipe her work, a random windows crash or forced update would have.

Wait until you here about the hidden mesh networks they create with other iot shit

Unfortunately until they are no longer “vital infrastructure” to governments, they will just get bailed out. I guess the best we can hope for is they disappear into obscurity as just another corporate software package that could easily be replaced by a spreadsheet.

Ooo so wiping data is destruction of property now? That means data is property.

Let’s apply that to Microsoft for the times their updates wiped user data, to apple when you take the phone in for a screen repair and they “had” to wipe your data, to Sony for deleting movie collections, and all the data collectors for stealing property…
