I bought a brand new 4GB off Amazon last year that is supposedly made by Sandisk. Seems legit and been using it with one of my 3D printers.

Impossible to find them in any brick and mortar store anymore. It’s so dumb because they come in handy and I hate thinking of wasting larger drives with so many writes.

Now is the perfect time with memory being so expensive.

I speak only for myself, but I’m not mad at any developers for following with this. I wish they wouldn’t, but I can’t blame them for following the law to protect themselves.

I still think this is bullshit and just going down the slippery slope. The next thing is “this value doesn’t do anything. Now we need a law that actually checks an ID!” And it just keeps getting worse and worse.

Don’t give them an inch on any of this bullshit. And by them, I do mean the governments trying these stupid laws that, at best, waste taxpayer money and valuable time spent on other worthwhile things.

It depends on where it comes from too because some countries have been letting people use theirs specifically because it makes sense given what the content is. I learned this for the .tv domain which is for the country Tuvalu but they’ve found it a nice way to make some extra money for television shows wanting a neat domain.

California is less than a year as it goes into effect this upcoming January 2027.

I was at one point, was really into KDE Neon for a while and used it everywhere. Then shifted when they released a new distro away from Neon.

But now I use Debian on my two servers and looking at DietPi for my Raspberry Pi and use Linux Mint Cinnamon for my gaming PC. With the Nvidia RTX GPU I have, I had nothing but issues on any distro that used Wayland so I felt forced into this and been here since with no issues so I will be here for some time.
