Either ambient instrumental music (lots of Brian Eno) or any music that I know all the words to (so that my brain doesn’t have to actively process the lyrics).

Seconding track leveling and compression, especially if the parts are recorded separately or you’re not used to live performance.

(This isn’t to say that track level dynamics aren’t important, especially in non-pop music)

You could, but should pick a different drive than c (this will likely break a ton of stuff)

I actually really like that fsutil case sensitivity can be set on a folder by folder basis so that I can have a safe space to deal with Linux files.

If it wasn’t an infosec issue (because no math rocks), it would be an opsec or comsec issue. We’re the weak link unfortunately.

Bummer. The '\?' prefix will work regardless of registry setting, though it’s a pain to remember each time.

You can also enable long paths in w10/11 (30,000+ characters). Instructions are here:

Can’t you work around that with the extended length prefix of \\?\ (\\?\C:\whateverlongpathhere\)? Though admittedly, it is a pain in the ass to use.

“Maximum Overdrive” for me.

Also, great call on Megaforce.

Are kids still even taught the three Rs (reduce, reuse, recycle)? I was always taught that they were listed in order of importance, but that seems to conflict with modern capitalism.

I do, several hours per day. Wireless headphones might are okay in short stints, but I really like my wired ones (Sony MDRs, which will probably outlast me)

Not everything normally needs to be saved. However, in this case it looks like the court ordered them to preserve data during discovery and they did not comply. From the article:

Pichai, and many other employees, also testified they did not change the auto-delete setting even after they were made aware of their legal obligation to preserve evidence.

It is possible that you have a bad infosec team; however, it is more likely that they need to meet outdated compliance goals (SOC 2 comes to mind here).

Infosec is unfortunately a tricky balancing act of compliance, security, and usability.

Cable Internet / DOCSIS splits bandwidth in a way that greatly prioritizes download over upload.
