I just got a new laptop today and when I saw the ssd it blew my mind. Most of my old drives are like the second from left and it's what I think of as a normal drive, buying a standard ssd still feels small to me. But look at that tiny thing to the right! It's the size of a postage stamp!

Assuming I managed to find the right specs (it is a Microscience hh-1050): The monster on the far left is from 1990, holds 40mb, read/write of 0.625mb/s, and weighs almost exactly 2kg. The baby on the far right I got in the mail today, holds 1tb, read/write of 5150mb/s, and weighs about 2.85 grams.

So we're looking at 25,000 times more storage, 8,240 times faster, and 1/700th the weight! And the one on the right is just 1tb, they make one that same model but 2tb. I can barely believe it exists even though I'm literally holding it in my hands.

If someone can have a go at alt-texting this I'll ad it to the post. I don't even know where to start with this one...

Alt-text: Screenshot of a social media post. It shows a promotional image for Bob Vylan's live performance at Glastonbury, showing text that it is scheduled for Saturday from 14:30 to 15:30 at West Holts. The image features two smiling members of the band against a purple background with BBC and Glastonbury logos. Text above is written by the band (with a verified check mark) and reads, “Turns out we’re finally at a point where the BBC trust us on live tv! Watch us live either in the field or in the comfort of your own home!”

More than 40 million people relied on the food-assistance program in 2024, or about 12% of the population. Many are located in red districts represented by legislators who support gutting the aid.

Es ist ein Urteil, das bei vielen Menschen für Entsetzen sorgt. Dan Rachow, ehemaliges AfD-Mitglied und langjähriger Greifswalder Polizist, darf trotz Amtsmissbrauchs wieder in den Polizeidienst zurückkehren. Das Verwaltungsgericht Greifswald stufte die rechtswidrige Datenabfrage politischer Gegner lediglich als „mittelschweres Dienstvergehen“ ein – und nicht als Grund, ihn dauerhaft aus dem Amt zu entfernen.1

Die Betroffenen der illegalen Abfragen wurden damals von Rechtsextremen kontaktiert und eingeschüchtert. Als sie sich an die Polizei wandten, mussten die Beamten ihnen mitteilen, dass ihre Telefonnummern offenbar durch eine Person aus dem Polizeiapparat abgefragt worden waren. KATAPULT MV liegen die Akten der Angelegenheit vor.Das Recherchemedium Endstation Rechts berichtete am 24. Juni, dass weitere Betroffene seit diesem Vorfall den Kontakt zur Polizei vollständig meiden. Das Vertrauen in die Behörden sei nicht mehr vorhanden, sagen mehrere von ihnen. Nun besteht die Sorge, dass politisch motivierter Datenmissbrauch künftig nicht konsequent verfolgt wird.
