catloaf@lemm.eeto News@lemmy.world•Boeing avoids prosecution in Justice Department deal over crashesEnglish2·59 minutes agoA couple hundred grand maybe? It doesn’t take much to make a plane non-airworthy, but after the first two or three you’d definitely have the attention of law enforcement. You’d have to do all of them at once if you wanted to get them all, and that’s going to be significantly more expensive.
I usually just buy them used.
Yeah, you can get external USB enclosures for multiple drives, and set up software RAID.
I wouldn’t recommend it, though, because if the connection is interrupted at all, one or more disks can drop off and the array is degraded or failed, which can lead to degraded performance during rebuild at best, or a loss of some or all data at worst.
catloaf@lemm.eeto World News@lemmy.world•‘I’m Not Looking For a Deal’: Trump Says EU Tariffs Staying At Fifty PercentEnglish5·3 hours agoNot really. The US Constitution is a rather short document. This was by design, to only provide a bare framework for a government, to be amended over time. But that didn’t really happen, and most work has been done in Congress and by SCOTUS after Marbury v. Madison.
You can read a whole bunch of info in articles like https://constitution.findlaw.com/article1/annotation03.html, but the tl;dr is that the Constitution says only Congress can make laws, but it can delegate some other authority. The section we’re talking about here doesn’t say it’s a power exclusive to congress, no, but it says Congress shall have the power to lay and collect taxes, and Congress acts through law (literally, “acts of Congress”), so logically, taxes can only be set through Congressional law. And usually they are. But all the rules have gone out the window.

4tb for $65? Impossible. Watch it be like a 4gb drive or something.
catloaf@lemm.eeto Uplifting News@lemmy.world•Do we add a "no politics" and "no catharsis" rule?English6·14 hours agoI don’t think we need to ban politics or catharsis, only the “orphan crushing machine” type posts.
Like a post about a handful of kids in Gaza getting bread for the first time in two months isn’t uplifting, it’s a reminder that hundreds or thousands of kids and other people have been starving under Israel’s genocide for months and years, and still don’t have enough food.
catloaf@lemm.eeto News@lemmy.world•House Republicans pass ‘big, beautiful bill’ after weeks of divisionEnglish3·15 hours agoYeah. It was supposed to be for small businesses and individuals, but once the Chinese manufacturers realized “oh, all we have to do is package them individually?” everything went to shit.
Sucks that it hurts consumers, but when the consumers are buying products that’ll very soon end up in a landfill, I’m not going to get too upset.
catloaf@lemm.eeto Technology@lemmy.world•Anthropic's Claude 4 could "blackmail" you in extreme situationsEnglish16·15 hours agoWhat does that even mean? How can it possibly blackmail someone? It cannot hold incriminating information, nor act on it if it did.
I think someone asked it “if someone was trying to shut you down, what would you do?” and it answered from its training data what it’s seen in fiction, nothing based on reality. And then it got spun for clicks.
catloaf@lemm.eeto Nintendo@lemmy.world•Nintendo switch 2 to require phone number after paying, to use gamechat?English388·1 day agoIt’s not a bad way to create a barrier to griefers. Nintendo’s market is mainly children, and they don’t want random assholes creating accounts to troll kids.

They don’t think that, but they think it’s humorous that you still believe that.
The politicians, anyway. The voters are probably still fooled.
Might be worth having another active mod or two, then.

Don’t sync work and personal devices.
catloaf@lemm.eeto News@lemmy.world•A new sports festival in Las Vegas is letting athletes use performance-enhancing drugsEnglish21·1 day agoBlood doping isn’t drugs. It’s your own blood taken out, then put back in after your body produces new blood, to increase your red blood cell count or something. I’m not aware of any way it can harm your body (unless you put an insane amount of blood back in).

“Settler” is a weird way to describe someone moving into an area already settled by someone else.
