Uh oh. My data archive project just took a jump up in priority. I have some of these drives I think.
You say "looming data apocalypse."
I say, "free high quality neodymium magnets!"
Someone needs to tell Downtown Doug Brown about dark and muted background colors to alleviate eye strain. The white is like staring into the Sun.
Edit: Whhoooaaa, definitely poked the bear on this one. This comment was intended to both make a tongue-in-cheek point and be funny. Didn’t mean to ruffle so many feathers.

  Sad to say that, because of the capitalization, the first thing that came to mind was "Toronto Sun or Vancouver Sun?" I think they both still have paper editions, so they'd be at least white-adjacent . . .
  
  That’s an understandable point of confusion and an excellent case to avoid capitalization of that term in casual writing. I’ll leave it as is for context, but I’ll probably drop the capital moving forward.
  I wonder why it became such a common name for newspapers.

- I'm using dark reader for Firefox so it wasn't an issue

All that CGA-quality porn, gone like dust in the wind.
