  • It’s locked so I would have to verify it in order to do any kind of resetting passwords and stuff. Which requires uploading photo id and a video of my face. I don’t really want to do all that, so I’m hoping that it being locked is enough to keep it from being used by hackers.

    I honestly just stopped using it so long ago & hadn’t even thought about the account until my sister told me it got hacked. I don’t care about having access to it, I just want it to be effectively useless lol








  • I’ve been playing a bunch of SSX tricky. It’s super old, but I absolutly love it even 20 years later. I’ve been playing on the PC using a ps2 emulator.

    I’ve also been playing simpsons hit and run which really holds up. It’s a simpsons version of grand theft auto & it’s just fun. It’s another emulated ps2 game.

    Lastly I’ve been playing survival fountain of youth. It’s a fairly recent release. You play as a shipwrecked Spaniard looking for the fountain of youth. I enjoy the base building & exploration – the story line is fiiine but nothing special.



  • That tech looks super cool & might be worth waiting for, but from what I’ve been reading it is still being perfected and will likely see big improvements fairly quickly after release.

    Heres a clip from this article I think is relevent: Teh said the new drives have double the capacity of storage systems using conventional 16TB perpendicular magnetic recording (PMR) drives, and this can be doubled again over the next four years. The company is projecting 4TB platters in the next couple of years, with 5TB coming shortly thereafter, and 6TB out beyond the current roadmap.

    So there’s a chance you wait for those drives, pay a little extra cuz the tech is new, then have something twice as good get released a year or two later.

    It’s definetly a tricky situation & ultimately up to you and what you want. Do you need that extra storage asap, or is it more of a eventually kind thing? Does new tech have its own intrinsic value to you, or is it more about price per terabyte?

    Good luck with your decision! I know how hard these kind of choices can be. You never know what the market will look like after you finally make that big purchase.


  • There are a number of storage technologies in the works right now. However, I think they will result in a new type of memory device rather than HDDs getting cheaper. Kind of like how a stack of CDs isn’t cheaper now than it was in 2005, rather there are new types of storage that offer more memory and longer life spans.

    So if you are definetly going HDD, prices are probably not going to get that much cheaper, if any cheaper at all.

    I’d say keep an eye out for sales & that will probably make a bigger difference than waiting a set amount of time.








  • I agree it’s all about access and boundries.

    My 2yo neice has a designated smartphone, but she only gets it for short periods. My sister picks the app and locks the phone so that the app cant be exited. For things like going out to dinner, it’s incredibly useful & I don’t think damaging.

    All she watches is miss rachel, lol maybe some bluey or aquarium feeds.

    I think her having a phone is mostly useful so that there is one to give her without worrying about your nice expensive device getting grubby kid hands all over it.


  • Honestly I’d be down for one of the debates to be replaced by a big wresting match. VP candidates can tag in. Everyone gets silly outfits. Their one liners all have to do with policy. It would probably get a much bigger turnout than traditional debates lmao

    Edited to add: it would probably better reflect current american politics too. Two actors play fighting in a gimmicky show. Sadly tho this match would be able to effect your daily life
