Even if the storage is soldered on the data can still be saved if it's not the storage that died and even then, it could be possible to retireve at least part of the data. Get a data recovery specialist.
Sorry, fixed. ?
A great day for Serbia indeed.

I looked into Vučić's past and came across a phenomenon known as 'war tourism,' specifically the alleged 'Sarajevo Safari.' Supposedly, foreigners—mostly from Italy—paid large sums of money to travel to Sarajevo and shoot at civilians and children with sniper rifles. What evidence is there that he was involved, aside from that one video where it looks like he’s carrying a camera tripod rather than a sniper rifle

Re:Tesla Roadster on Friday October 16, 2026 @04:28PM (#50124174)
Yeah no thanks. I think I will stick to BYD and other reputable chineese brands for my EV needs. Safety is a thing for cars. Teslas were not the safest cars before and now they are adding gas thrusters, oh boy, what could possibly go wrong. I would not feel safe driving behind or infront of this car.

Classic DHH.Allways talks about what is good for his situation, not what is good for the community in general. I can understand his excitement of slashing his server and labor expenses. He will be richer and have more time, less people will work for him and wow, rails came a long way, didn't it ? The world is your oyster now! Oh and btw, we are changing the name of the conference, it's called Rust conf now.

Re:Cherenkov Radiation - traveling faster than light on Friday September 11, 2026 @06:16AM (#49656010)
I dont think there can be intuition for this. How can one even imagine an electron "flying" through space, there is no measurable thing that travels, we can only see the disturbance of the surrounding space caused by it. But what is the it, does it maybe live in other dimension not accessible to us, or is there no it at all ? I gave up as a layman trying to understand any of this. Sure, there is math and you can somehow make some mental models involving 3d graphics and all, but that is not actually what is going on down there.
One would think that ze germans would be among the first to be conquering space with all that german engineering.

This sounds like coding manually would take less time.
