I'm also surprised that none of the ccTLDs mention this on their sites.

If I received a link to google.co.uk I would, because I'm in the UK. Why would I think otherwise if I were in Ghana and saw a link to google.gh?

In the last month, excluding this post, three of your five submissions were AI focused, and one was part-AI. For the past two months, it's five of 11. Certainly not "explicitly AI" but it's about half, which in the context of this overall discussion is towards "too much", IYAM. Half of HN being AI is still a poor signal-to-noise ratio.

Perhaps you could lead the change you wish to see?

From BBC News' article:

His Optimus Prime voice was inspired by his older brother, a decorated US Marine and Vietnam War veteran, who suggested he should play the character as "a real hero, don't be a Hollywood hero".

"He said, 'Don't go yelling and screaming. He's strong enough to be gentle.'

"And that resonated with me, and I could hear his voice all the way to the audition. When he drops down, when he gets serious, is where I found Optimus Prime."

Cullen gave his brother a cut of the wages he received for playing Optimus Prime until his death.

I have a feeling I used that, either on my A3010 or my Risc PC. Thank you!

Except turning off macros means losing our precious slop generators! Won't someone think of the fossil fuel industry?

I've known a fair few drives with uncorrectable sectors or adaptor warnings that continue to work but a lot more that have degraded or just outright failed.

Well I don't see why you'd want to keep running a drive that is showing warning signs, it's just asking for trouble. But even if one doesn't replace them from this data, if you start seeing alerts and at the same time your database suffers from corruption, that also shows the use of SMART.

I'm surprised to have read to the end and found that they're still not performing any hardware monitoring and alerting. SMART may not always show up pre-failure warnings but when it does they can usually be trusted.
