"But you can turn them off" is not a valid defence. The fact they're even there in the first place shows Microsoft's contempt for their customers.

Microsoft’s Xbox Is Planning More Cuts After Studio Closings

I just did the dumbest thing ever today.

I am always very careful with servers. Today I was under pressure and I decided to troubleshoot an issue without taking a snapshot of the server. Log story short made some changes that I could not revert and thought if I could just restore server from backup from a day old it won’t hurt. Server started restore process noticed this process was longer than usual and decided to check on the amount of data this server houses realized it’s 2.2/ 4.5 TB. I was fucked because this server has to be down for the rest of the work hours. Some servers the bank runs on were down and I was thinking it should be an easy fix. But I am still panicking. I get off work go home log in remotely monitoring this restore then I noticed at 3.9TB the restore fails. I try to push another restore and I get error disk incompatibility and stuff like that. I go back into the virtual server to start it up and the server will not start. Have a consolidation alarm and also alarm for virtual machine configuration and disk issues. I look at the disk and it says 0. I try to set it to what it was before and it won’t take. Tried to start up VM and I get child disk different from parent disk and all that. Tried to merge both disk because there are no snapshot to consolidate and the only option is to ssh into the vcenter. I tried and I don’t have access. I can’t believe I freaking pushed the restore that was the dumbest move ever. And I am planning to ask for a raise this month. I’ve been good all these while till the month I plan to ask for a raise and I just sabotaged myself. Now I have to wake up early to fix this issue. I don’t even know what I am doing as I have never experienced this before.

Don't try to "future proof" your laptop

Don't try to "future proof" your laptop

I just want to bring some reason to one of the most illogical things we do (myself included), attempting to justify buying the more powerful laptop hoping it will be "future proof".

Whether you buy a 4080 or 4060 mobile GPU, in all likelihood your laptop will have about the same lifespan while costing you about double. Laptops are replaced for reasons other than "old and slow" more often than not. A good deal on a current 4060 laptop today is about $1,000 while a good deal on a 4080 laptop is about 2k flat (you can find lower and higher for both)

In probably 2-3 years you will be finding 5060 laptops for around 1k and with newer cpu (and with more modern features, likely optimization for ai, etc) maybe some new blackwell tech? That means you can just buy the 4060 laptop today (provided it meets your current needs with a little bit of headroom) and save the $1k to buy a 5060 laptop with all the other upgrades that come with time (CPU, maybe oled will get cheaper, etc)

I am not saying don't buy high end laptops, I am saying don't keep increasing your laptop budget for illogical reasons to your own detriment.

TLDR, don't future-proof, it is dumb, buy what you want/need today.
