That's disappointing to hear about Michio Kaku. I bought one of his books a long time ago, after hearing an interesting interview with him on a podcast. (Never actually got around to reading the book, though.)

Plus it's double-extra meaningless on Lemmy, where you can run your own instance and give yourself whatever karma count/account date you want.

Yeah, this. In fact, going with hardware that's too-too new can lead to a different problem on Linux.

OP, if you're buying hardware, it's worth web searching to make sure people have tried it on Linux and are having good experiences with it. Since most manufacturers only care if their stuff works on Windows, it can take a little while for Linux devs to write drivers and get them shipped in Linux distros.

No experience myself, but I saw this recently on Lemmy: GPD Win Max 2

It's not like all of them were important personal stuff. I just figured it was easy enough to save everything now and look into what's on them later. I'd just been doing dd conv=noerror but I need to see if there's a better way.

Some of my disks were still error-free, so there's hope for yours!

Why level downward to our dullest perception always, and praise that as common sense? The commonest sense is the sense of men asleep, which they express by snoring. Sometimes we are inclined to class those who are once-and-a-half-witted with the half-witted, because we appreciate only a third part of their wit. Some would find fault with the morning red, if they ever got up early enough. “They pretend,” as I hear, “that the verses of Kabir have four different senses; illusion, spirit, intellect, and the exoteric doctrine of the Vedas”; but in this part of the world it is considered a ground for complaint if a man’s writings admit of more than one interpretation. While England endeavors to cure the potato-rot, will not any endeavor to cure the brain-rot, which prevails so much more widely and fatally?

This is true, though internet gatekeepers can keep people from being able to find these forums.
