  • Everyday. I’ve got a lot of stuff that uses it. Granted most of it was mostly created a decade ago but with minimal maintenance it works great. The most helpful script is parsing megacli outputs so I can get a heads up on drive failures and rebuilds among other things.









  • Info hazards are going to be more common place with this kind of technology. At the core of the problem is the ease of access of dangerous information. For example a lot of chat bots will confidently get things wrong. Combine that easy directions to make something like napalm or meth then we get dangerous things that could be incorrectly made. (Granted napalm or meth isn’t that hard to make)

    As to what makes it dangerous information, it’s unearned. A chemistry student can make drugs, bombs, etc. but they learn/earn that information (and ideally the discipline) to use it. Kind of like in the US we are having more and more mass shootings due to ease of access of firearms. Restrictions on information or firearms aren’t going to solve the problems that cause them but it does make it (a little) harder.

    At least that’s my understanding of it.



  • Are you saying that because a person could earn more than a million dollars more over their career than a high school educated person that they’re rich? Or are you saying that a person who is college educated is already rich to start with?

    Either way is confusing, so I’m hoping you’ll clarify. Seems a lot like you’re implying that a possibility is the same as having a million dollars in your bank account? Like just because I have lotto ticket I’m a millionaire even though the numbers haven’t been drawn yet.






  • Since it’s a work phone they’re responsible for backing it up and managing it. That’s not something you should be doing at all. If they need you to have more than the standard 5G iCloud storage then they can purchase it for your work iCloud account. Don’t backup your work data onto a personal device. If they get sued do you really want to give over your personal computer as evidence? You’re opening yourself to a lot of liability so don’t do that.

    Since you’re not going to listen 😂

    The short answer is no. Longer answer is use a vm, best answer is use a Mac.

    Even though I have a MacBook I don’t use it to backup my iPhone. It’s just not worth it, imo, to spend the time and storage. You can’t even restore it effectively without iCloud either so it kinda defeats the purpose. The only way I could see it being an option to consider is if you have very limited internet access and/or bandwidth.
