  • Ah well my house is not that big. It's my wife and me and three cats but we have rather large furniture so it kinda feels cramped.

  • Definitely house, preferably owned. I rented my previous apartment and had to run a lot of jobs through the landlord. Now, if something goes wrong or if I want to hang something with screws, I can just go ahead. And I love having a back yard. Front yard meh, just work, no joy.

    Downside is that my house is not exactly well maintained and it was built in the sixties. So I'll need to invest in some stuff in the next 5 to 10 years.

    Trump...

  • I wonder if he realises at all that this will just make the US's position worse and worse for the entire world, not just Canada.

  • I see your awake tortie and raise you a sleepy kitty

  • I'm from the Netherlands, we were just ahead of the US elections. I know the hardcore Trumpers will never be convinced by any amount of solid proof that they are wrong but we somehow elected a populist blowhard and after a very difficult formation (it's what happens when you need to form a coalition to form a cabinet usually necessary if you have more than two parties) we got a state government of people so incompetent, I wouldn't let them preside over a local gardening club.

    I was kind of intrigued when they picked a former director of the Dutch intelligence agency to be prime minister but that dude just screams 'I don't belong here and I disagree with everything my cabinet does'.

    Now, they haven't fundamentally screwed the pooch on anything that the Netherlands has built over the last three decades, but there are definitely plans to make our country less of a refuge for people in need of help in spite of folks who take advantage of a too friendly system.

    The (western, I can't speak to a world I'm no active part of) world is changing. It's becoming tougher, and that essentially means that if you have either money, power or both you'll be fine. If you don't, well... dark days are ahead.

    The only thing necessary for evil to succeed is for good men to do nothing. Any time you feel you are witnessing an injustice, think to yourself, what would good men (I'm obviously saying 'men' to mean 'humans') be doing to make evil not succeed?

  • I don't want to live on this planet anymore.

  • Did you already pinpoint if the issue is with all HDDs or just one? Like, connect one and try, disconnect, try the next? From your OP it seems like it's just one HDD causing the issue.

    If that's the case, maybe boot into Windows and, after booting, put the broken HDD into one of your USB enclosures. Then run chkdsk on it. Maybe try CrystalDiskInfo too.

    If your pc straight up shuts down the moment you connect the drive, chuck it before you do any more damage to your system.

  • It sounds like your motherboard is not getting past POST. That means your PC takes issue with booting if a disk doesn't spin up. Normally, you'd only get CPU, RAM and VIDEO tests in POST before it goes into boot. Do you have the startup check lights on your motherboard? If it doesn't POST it will highlight where the problem is.

    If it won't boot it'll be an issue with the boot disk, like if there are remnants of an OS on one of those disks. If it won't turn on at all, it doesn't even POST meaning your pc doesn't agree with your hardware configuration.

  • In that case it just sounds like your on board SATA controller is not working. If you're dead set on using these drives, you could look at a PCIe to SATA board. I have one in my server which has 10 SATA ports.

  • It's highly unlikely this is due to your power supply, unless you have a 600W GPU and even then it should at least start.

    It does start after you've uncoupled the hard drive? If not, you may have snagged another power cable somewhere. Have you double checked that you turned your PSU back on after installing the hard drive?

    If all else fails, you'll just have to remove every additional component, try to get into the BIOS, turn off, install another component and keep going until something breaks.

    But if it doesn't start even without your old hard drive, I'll bet you've either forgotten to turn your PSU back on or maybe the little finicky cable for the power switch isn't in properly.

    If it does start without your old hard drive, you can pretty much write off that hard drive. Most likely it's causing a power surge or something and it's actually dangerous putting it in your PC.

  • The beach is great. The only issue is that on days worth going, lots of other folks will be there.

    We heat up the planet by 4 or 5 degrees, it's gonna get much less crowded. It'll be like a perfect, permanent vacation.

  • Yeah I prefer summer to winter so if we get summer and super summer now I would enjoy that until I'm dead and after that, why should I care?

    /s just in case.

  • Have you ever cheated at a game, cut corners on work or purposefully did something unfair to get better from it yourself?

    Yeah it's much easier to win without any pesky ethics or a strong moral compass.

    Good folks have been struggling uphill since the Ancient Greeks as long as there are folks trying to win with a different rule book.

  • Agile is a critical one. I'm a data analyst and a data engineer (I do a bit of both) but most of my work is in the Microsoft stack. There are loads of certificates to get from Microsoft, like the AZ-900, DP-900, DP-600 if you're interested in Fabric.

    But for the Agile thing, consider traditional project development as a straight line. There is a start and an end. Agile projects look like an input line into loads of loops. These loops are called 'sprints'. In a sprint, every developer takes ownership of work items and by the end of the sprint, they are finished. If not, they need to be refined or they are taken into the next sprint. There's will be someone who guards the process, there is someone who knows what they want but there isn't really a project leader.

    If you're interested in doing agile projects at large companies, you'll likely go from developing to implementing straight into maintaining the environment. Look into DevOps. It's the future of project development, especially in IT.

  • Code crackers when Alan Turing showed up

  • Nice try! Way off

  • For me it was because I loved Boost for Reddit and when spez did that thing back then the dev pivoted his app and it retained all functionality so it was pretty much seamless for me. I bought the app (twice) for the ad-free experience and I launch the rocket (for a small fee) every now and then.

  • I use Boost and I like it. But I've also heard good things about Voyager

  • Take your change
