how is your robbery proof backup going?

this badboy right here can store up to 10,7 TB if you use 100GB blu-rays,

if someone breaks into your home, they will steal your SSD, your HDD and Ram, but CDs? nobody would care

and if you use m-disc quality they can survive your entire basement being flooded for a week, something that would kill all your SSDs, HDDs, LTO tapes etc

so how is it going?

PS3 was so far ahead of its time it's just crazy when you think about it

The fact that this thing had support for multiple memory solutions including CF, SD and Memory Duo Pro. The fact that they crammed the actual PS2 hardware in this thing. The fact that it had out of the box support for Linux.

How can anyone in their right mind still use a 60hz monitor in 2026? And why are they still being made at all? We moved past 60hz in the late 80s, which was 40 years ago.
