Any 8 years old hard drive is a concern. Don’t get sucked into thinking Seagate is a bad brand because of anecdotal evidence. He might’ve bought a Seagate hard drive with manufacturing defect, but actual data don’t really show any particular brand with worse reliability, IIRC. What you should do is research whether the particular model of your drive is known to have reliability problems or not. That’s a better indicator than the brand.

Can you prove this?

Well, let’s hope the second part of you is right.

Would that change anything in a country where Trump is re-elected?

Maybe he’s comparing their weight distribution?

42.1 km/s is the speed required relative to the sun’s surface for objects launching from Earth’s surface. You need to look at the value labelled V_te, which is the speed relative to the minor body the object is launching from. In this case, it is 16.6 km/s.

94000mph is relative to the sun’s surface. Relative to the Earth’s surface, it is around 37000mph, which means they were still wrong.

The escape velocity for the solar system and from Earth’s surface should not be the same. This is why you should always double check anything ChatGPT says.

Yes, radiation can kill people decades later, but so does pollution from burning fossil fuel. BTW, your link talks about nuclear accidents, not the number of people killed by nuclear wastes produced normally, which is what you claimed is killing people. A bit of a misdirection on your part, isn’t it?

How many people has all the waste we’ve produced kill up to now?

Oh, then thats the same thing. I thought you meant the routers can be accessed remotely by ISPs for the first time setups. In my case, the technician is just more involved while they perform the router setup by asking the users what the SSID and password will be. I suppose it makes it easier for non-technical users who’d probably never change their WiFi password after the first setup. The account password is still left as the default one shown under the router, though.

Fortunately, I’d risk. Let’s be happy for the smallest of things.

You’re right, it’s a good thing in general, but bad for story telling purposes.

ISPs here just connect the router, call back to their operations center to set it up and go.

Do you mean the technicians don’t setup the WiFi SSID and password for the user and that the router setup are done through the operation centre instead of on-site?

LMAO, that would be an interesting story to tell. Unfortunately, for now, all of my neighbours are at least technologically proficient enough to put in a WiFi password, or at least not stupid enough to not let the ISP technician add it during installation.

You have to replace the last parentheses with %29 to fix the link. Like so: The Fly

That might not actually be a bad idea. Telling them their open WiFi is easily connected to from outside might finally push them to put in some form of network security. Shouldn’t be too hard unless you have a bad relationship with them.

I haven’t tested that, since the main point was for me to access my home network. I would assume it should look like I’m accessing Internet from home, but cannot confirm at the moment.

So don’t connect anything from the same manufacturer to wifi and check if any of your neighbour has an open WiFi network, then? I’ve checked my neighborhood and hasn’t seen any open networks just yet, so I’m lucky.

It does for my OpenVPN connection. My laptop was able to remote to my home PC over my mobile data. Not sure if it works differently from commercial VPNs.

Is there a reason to go for a dumb TV as opposed to just not connecting your smart TV to wifi?

What do you mean, is it not possible? I use VPN with USB tethering just fine. Is the same not true for wireless hotspot? I assumed they work similarly.
