you don't need the whole usb drive to fail. It's enough if a sector or two went corrupt, and you won't be able to open (or even see) a directory, or copying a file will stop in the middle. maybe files disappear too, and then at best they get recovered to FOUND.001 or such directory without path and name, maybe also just partially, or interleaved with other lost or deleted files' fragments

but surely microsoft keeps multiple copies! they are infallible!!

okay, all good then. the reason of my suspicion is that I'm not confident about the practical legality of warrant canaries. thought maybe you couldn't say it according to spec, so maybe tried to publish an invalid one by including a little "mistake".

Problem is, it does not fall.

I want the real terrorists be solved for good, but they are in the Commission, the Europol, and the so called "HLG", so they are practically untouchable.

more feature rich? According to the store description and screenshots, it has less features.

The date of issue of this canary is July 16, 2025.

does that mean they are compromised?

you mean, you don't need one for registration?

I have heard less about phone chargers failing catastrophically. They also handle much less power (except the fancy ones), and I haven't seen a hot phone charger adapter yet, but plenty laptop chargers of which some were just very warm, and some so hot just on its outsides that it was uncomfortable to hold it in hand.

this is why I'm more worried about laptop chargers

I still don't understand why is it so essential to connect everything to the internet

I would assume that landfill laptop manufacturers are trying to minimize costs even harder on the charger.

but what timeframe do you mean with "anymore"? laptops made in this decade, or the last 10 years, or something else? there's plenty of old laptops that fitinto OPs category.

you can get somewhat of an impression of it if after a reboot you get a logcat dump. for that, you need to enable ADB, and install the ADB tools on a computer. but disable ADB if you don't use it

I think 5W probably can't be achieved, maybe with chromebook-like hardware, but I guess GPIO could be solved with a USB accessory

in my opinion the bigger problem is the fire hazard of an unsupervised charger. I have seen enough that runs super hot, and even if it doesn't, I just can't trust them.

but what will fix the fire hazard of the charger? how will you be able to keep it plugged in 24/7?

guilty of terrorism until proven innocent

we could call that wealth tax. we are taxing their lives

fdisk cannot convert the partition structure, but gdisk can, though you better have a full backup bedore attempting to do it

MBR can be converted to GPT. gdisk can do it, in fact if you run it for an MBR structured disk it will automatically do the conversion in memory, and you can check the results before writing it out. windows also has a tool for that.

It's more about the name for me

It's probably the MIT licensed rust reimplementation of coreutils and sudo-rs
