THIS! RIGHT HERE!

When I was young and naive about digital things, I had NO BACKUP

One day I got a new laptop. Yay me. Transfer all the data from my old hard drive using some jank-ass local network setup because young and dumb about tech still.

Six months go by, and my new laptop shit itself. Still no idea what happened, but it BSODd and a factory reset got it working again.

I still had my old laptop, so after about a week of searching on forums and reading everything I could find about how to build a pc, how laptop internals compare, data transfers, and literally anything I could so I could pull the old hard drive out without damaging anything and get at least some of my data without issue...

I lost 6 months of new stuff on a much more capable laptop, but it's better than losing EVERYTHING.

It’s the eternal pointless chase for a meaning that was never there and never will.

So.... Life.

"just as good"

Lol no it isn't. You never say "just as good" when something really is.

DO IT ANYWAY

Not only is it still GOOD for them, it looks nice too. 20% more than nothing is better than nothing.

Honestly I was kind of expecting a color stripe or something.

There's no such thing as "striking new design" with smartphones outside of some gimmicks.

I legitimately thought she had died on my first watch, and that the crew were basically raising Naomi as a village.

Star Trek didn't do recurring characters very well... Except Q and Lwaxana.

Having done exactly 0 research, I going to assume it's one of those "DO NOT PRESS OKAY UNLESS YOU ARE EXPERIENCED AND KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING" and someone went "pffft I know what I'm doing. click now what does this option do..."

As I like to tell everyone I hear ask, don't ask someone how the job search is going

If it's going well, you will know. If you haven't heard, but you're close enough to expect to hear about it, then it's not going well and the person probably doesn't want the reminder that it's not going well.

It would have cost you nothing to not post this.

nothing!

Haven't I suffered enough?

If I die without saving someone else in the process I lose a bet.

And ma didn't raise a loser.

I can hate both.

The CEO just lets me add a face to the ire.
