A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Even if you have the most reliable SSD/HDD in the world, always have redundancy; make backups.

I brought a 2TB Extreme Portable SSD on vacation with me as a backup for my camera's SD cards. Are you telling me I need a backup for my backup?

When it comes to copies, 1 is none, 2 is one, and 3 is a backup!
