the magnetic domains slowly relax. if you plug it in once or twice a decade, you can significantly reduce the changes of that happening to an extent that you lose data.

lol, EV was special. It was also pretty easy to mod with plug-ins using macos resource fork hackery, even to a kid, and all of the original game data was replaceable just by creating something with the same ID in a plug-in. Cap'n Hector became an angry invincible shuttlecraft with a single laser cannon. now that I'm old enough to afford a license, the company is gone and there's no way, so I guess I'm stuck with him like this forever.

I agree with you. The other people in this thread are quick to judge and could stand to learn from some of the wisdom in the shows about which they have such strong feelings.

I like rsnapshot, run from a cron job at various useful intervals. backups are hardlinked and rotated so that eventually the disk usage reaches a very slowly growing steady state.

it's possible to run windows in a VM on Linux (Microsoft even provides one intended for developers)

is it counting android as linux?

if so, it shouldn't be, imo. android is deployed and used differently than Linux and is not really the same in spirit. if you can't have root, I'd not count it as Linux for the purposes of something like this.

Funtoo is a bit of both. It's not as current as Gentoo but the tradeoff is not having to rebuild the toolchain every few weeks.
