First, if you have more than one disk, you should be either getting redundancy through mirroring, or building arrays of several disks with redundant methods like RAID5 / RAID6 / ZFS zraid2.

Second, no single copy of data is safe, you must always have recent, tested backups.

I’m not a gamer, but I remember their drivers for even their high-end cards were a fucking nightmare on Linux.

It’s not that hard to give the open source community what they need in order to build their own drivers, or enough source for them to get things working properly. This was one of their dumbest moves among many dumb moves.

need a computer with a CPU

So, like… a computer.

I’d actually love to see that – Level 6: Finding fresh bok choi. Buy bok choi for stirfry. Monster attacks, defeat him, you win only if the bokchoi is left unbruised. Level 7: Make stirfry. Monster attacks, Goal - defeat him before stir fry gets cold. :)

Precisely. Not sure why their example isn’t being replicated in every city and suburban town.

Why not just build tiny homes? Built to code, 200sqft, well insulated, power, running water, and phone/internet, close to public transit. A fixed address with access to a social worker and a nurse on site, and the ability to get back up on their feet.

The idea would be to give people something between ‘tent’ and ‘apartment’ as transitional housing. Nobody freezes to death, nobody gets caught in the rain and loses everything they own. A community centre for socializing / education / laundry / showers, etc. There’s a ton of unused / underutilized lots in most cities - buildings ready for demolition, behind on taxes, and better used to deal with the housing crisis.

This isn’t rocket surgery. Someone please take this idea and run with it!
