where i used to work, we had a lot of HR data on some HDDs that died. was all raid-ed, so was good.. but we legally had to make it "irrecoverable as possible" so i took the 8 drives into the car park, where i had a hammer drill and HSS metal drill bit in the car... and just filled the drives full of holes through the platter and the pcb

not quite... they were stored in an out building because we didnt know if we were ok to put them in the bin or not.. and a few weeks later, some friendly arsonist set fire to the outbuilding... luckily, the firedoors between it and the main building stopped the fire from getting to the main building... but... the fire did melt what was left of the drives 😄

both played cautiously in the first half... second half, england stepped it up, and wales continued to play cautious, even when 3-0 down, wales were still playing as if it was 0-0

they didnt sing it in the first game.. then in the 2nd game, they did sing it, and looked clearly distressed about it

its not, because scotland are crap, and wales, clearly, are crap

#

they dont have the money and the infrastructure that england have. as well as how the game is set up all the way down to under 7s in england... its just different in england

#

followed the money. then got injured. and is still sniffing around for the teams who want to give him a lot of money, because they can recoup that money from selling shirts with his name on

#

American MLS teams are still an elephants graveyard for top european players, and european players that couldnt quite get into the top european teams

#

Ronaldo is done.. hes held together with twigs and sticky tape.. he will go to where ever will give him the money

#

they all say that... none of them are going to say "i play for the money" because nobody is ever going to buy his shirt again if he says that... he says what people want to hear, he says whatever it is that makes him valuable to a new team

i didnt say ALL european players go to USA, i said that its an elephants graveyard... meaning that it not just an option, its an option that a lot take on

Been thinking about it because my buddies want to play a game thats like 30 bucks or something. But I know for a fact we'll play it for less than a month, and never again. So in this case paying for a month of game pass is the obvious solution. But overall it kinda just seems like a good deal if you play a fair amount of games.

just pay 30

Idk why you specifically brought up ac3 but OK kek

pretty weird yea

Because Ubisoft killed the DLC servers, meaning I can no longer download them.

imo if you want to actually preserve a game, even if you own it on steam, you should just download a pirated copy and save it

Pagefile is named because it's disk space used to store information from RAM. Information in RAM is stored in PAGES. Thus, pagefile.

#

It's a file for storing pages.

swapfile>

#

The least recently used files or programs in RAM can be "swapped out" to the hard disk until they're needed later, allowing new files or programs to be "swapped in" to RAM.

#

in older versions of windows like the 95/98 era it was common to fully disable swap/page file if you had enough ram to handle that

#

some programs did not like you doing that however and expected it on the hard drive

#

I haven't looked into it for a few years but I thought the more modern windows os's have way more problems trying to do the same thing

#

If you have enough ram you can disable it fully, but if you run out, or if some programs are older, they will crash
