Its been a long while since I've read the books or seen the movies, but weren't they escaping WW2?

Seems kinda... worse than taxes and the subway. "Ah yes, lets give up on this magical world to return to ours to get *checks notes* bombed. Perfect."

Of course they did. They'll keep lowering the price until they're the king, and then screw everyone over with charges, ads and more data harvesting (If that's even possible) like Google always does.

Or it'll crash and burn and it'll end up in the Google grave yard. Either way, fuck Google.

Maybe they need less cow bells.

I mean, to be fair.... stock prices are rapidly being driven down, so he was kinda right.

I'd rather just find a new hobby instead of giving more money to these greedy fucks. That includes Google, Nvidia and the rest. Fuck right off with your constant want and need to make everything worse.

Police can't hurt the public if nothing works. Oracle will lock it behind 4 different paywalls, and the Nazismobile won't start afterwards anyway.

Might want to add some spoiler tags on the some of the spoilers.

Otherwise, I'm currently on book 4 right now, towards the end of it. It's an alright book. I'm enjoying it. At first I didn't think I'd like the shift after book 3, but so far, its keeping me entertained.

My one complaint, which isn't that much of a complaint, is that everything seems to go Jason's way. Nothing is ever.... serious? I guess is the word I'm looking for. But its not any different than an action movie/TV show, so its really a none issue.

Seagate and Western digital are two seperate companies. You're correct in that neither own or are affiliated with the other.

There were talks of a merger for years starting back in ~2014, but that fell through.

I did just find out that Seagate is the parent company to LaCie though. They used to (probably still do) make some decently tough external haard drives.

There were talks about a merge around 2014, but it ultimately fell through. WD and Seagate are seperate companies.

Even trying to buy anything from them directly is damn near impossible. Tried purchasing a desktop from their website a few weeks back, and the system wouldn't accept my address as valid. I talked to their support team, they told me they have to escalate it and I'd hear back in 24-48 hours.

Never heard back. Ended up going through Lenovo, and that was painless.

I used to almost exclusively recommend Asus or Lenovo to my family and friends, but I guess its just Lenovo now.

Have you tried Dirt Rally 2? It's not without its faults, but imo, its still the best rally game out there.

Well, they did have that datacenter burn down a few years ago, so.not entirely boring.

But they've been an otherwise solid provider for me. I've been using their services for years. Started with VPS and now on a bare metal server. Older hardware but great fornwhat i use it for. Been nothing but pleased with them.

No, but Hitachi's was bought by WD back in 2011-2012. IIRC, they sold a part of it to Toshiba though.
