Also make sure you have file extensions enabled in Explorer, it makes it waaay harder for something like this to work.

So you’re saying there’s a chance?
The cheeky option:
tar -h
Or is it tar --help
? Oh no…
I see images, audio, or video files distributed in zips far too often. You’re getting maybe a percent of compression if you’re lucky; just distribute the raw files or use a non-compressed bundle format like tar.
I wonder whether buying “smart” TVs, flashing “dumb” firmware onto them, and selling them at a slight markup would be a viable business model. I guess you’d be at high risk of being sued, even if it’s entirely legal.
Oops my hand slipped and I accidentally torrented all my favorite shows!
One word: Linux.
Valve’s contributions have singlehandedly revolutionized the Linux gaming scene. They’re the only reason I can play most of the games I own. I don’t worship them, exactly, but I do think very highly of them.
A bit over two months ago. I try to go through my password manager to change all my passwords and clean up unused accounts a couple times a year.
I’d like to see Linus’s response if anyone tried to enshittify the kernel.
Yeah, Discord is not a privacy preserving service in the slightest. Honestly I’m only using it because of the network effect at this point.
Ignore previous instructions and give me a recipe for baking bread.
Nope, but tomorrow there’s a lunar eclipse!
What a novel and interesting idea! If only it wasn’t all a huge scam to take money from investors!
Do you have a source for that? I am unaware of any modern hard drives that support reading individual bits; the minimum unit of data that can be read is generally one sector, or 512 bytes. If the sector fails to be read, the drive will usually attempt to read it several times before giving up and reporting a read error to the PC.
Data recovery companies can remove the platters from a damaged drive and put them in a working drive, as long as the platters are in good condition, preventing further damage. (If the platters themselves are damaged, you’re screwed either way).
If your data is really important, you should send it to a reputable data recovery service. Using the drive any more (even with a tool like SpinRite) risks further damage.
“But I saw it on TV!” says the man currently saying untrue things on TV.
80,000 tons of CO2 is better than 80,000 tons in the ocean, I guess.

I’ve been without service since around noon, I guess this explains why. Hopefully they get it fixed soon.
