There are 4U server cases that hold 77 3.5” hard drives, and you could rig up empty cases with NAND of various forms and get even more density, if you could keep cooling under control.

Also, most datacenters will not use 4TB disks, you would use giant 20TB enterprise disks (for spinning rust) or 8TB enterprise SAS or nVME drives. You will lose some of that capacity to redundancy though, as RAID and region replication takes place.

So total capacity, minus disk first losses (so *0.85 as a rule of thumb) and then divide by the redundancy (probably / 3)

I dunno I didn’t listen to any albums after “Sixteen Stone”

Yeah well “Shut Down” doesn’t need to be an alias to Hibernate, which it has been since vista

Fent was the reaction to young Americans discovering that the Drug War was bullshit. We all discovered that when used responsibly, we could have weed. We could have psychedelic experiences. All the bad shit that was going to happen was happening because of bad people, and it wasn’t the drugs that changed those people.

Fent adulteration was an attack on all people who dared to oppose the law and get high. It was a genocide against defiers, in the same way that crack was used against black people.

They’re not intercepting it because the plan was for the defiant drug users to be poisoned and genocided so that the god fearing law abiding sees-authority-as-divine Christian nationalists would be the only ones left

Ha! That’s awesome I love it

It’s on my lap and I’m really into cereal.

wait this doesn’t make sense

it does if you just laugh bro

but xyz doesn’t mean what is implied in the joke though

congrats on being on the web spectrum why don’t u GraphQL about it

I’m starting to think that he wasn’t but we just didnt collect enough evidence at the time so now we will never know

I actually don’t like this XKCD, this is a bad answer to why electronic voting is bad.

Mostly because it is a largely obtuse process that most people can’t see or understand.

“Trust the magic rock is counting fairly and that bad people who would want to manipulate it in order to obtain power and conquer you haven’t had a chance to do so.” You cannot code your way out of that.

Everyone understands marks on paper. No one understands buffer overrun RCE, resistive touchscreen calibration, or database triggers and log sharding.

Exactly, there is a bipartisan consensus that is is BAD and neither side likes it.

Someone seems to be pushing it to use as political ammo.

Likely. Maybe. Should be. Best practice. Most likely.

So the vote goes into a black box, which few understand and which no one can observe, and we are to believe that no one was able to find a way around whatever good actors, policies, and procedures are in place to protect them from tampering?

Right, and they’re NOT building datacenters in order to make computer components so expensive that it prices the average joe out of personal computing and forces cloud serfdom.

The real reason NVIDIA big tech has abandoned gamers all personal computing

That can never work because the incentive to manipulate that system and then claim the results are fair because of it’s theoretical power of accountability, which it was sold on, cannot be broken and therefore we MUST accept the results is too great.

The moment someone cracks it, they become the new lords. Same problems as the current system.

Paper doesn’t have this problem, because you can see the paper. You can count paper with machines, but you can also verify with humans and - importantly - humans without PHDs.

Voting is the literal keys to the empire. I’m not letting some billionaire vibecode his way into the white house…again

So you vibecoded a security product and named it after a famous government program known for spying unlawfully on American citizens

To what, capitalize on the SEO?

This is kinda gross dude, not gonna lie

The copiate of the masses

If you think vote counting is conplex, just wait until you hear about embedded microcontrollers

No, you could not. In any way.

Is this why they are pricing us out of the personal computing market? Are they worried what people could do with this tech in their living room?
