I don’t want to have to pay a registrar, I would like to submit my domains to registers directly. There is a business layer of middle-men who do not need to exist.

You’re in luck! You can do this! You can become your own registrar. Cut out the middle man! You only have to pay $4000/year to talk directly to ICANN.

Thats because of how you set it up. If you want individual IP addresses for all your resources, you can get a huge chunk of IPv6 addresses just for yourself. You can get a /48 (65,536) addresses if you set it up with your ISP.

Okay, I agree with you that you’re not wrong to be upset at Seagate customer service. Its also perfectly within your rights to stop using Seagate. I just want to point out that if you continue to follow your policy of “one and done”, and the continued deteriorating customer service experience all companies are providing these days, you’ll soon be left with very few places to do business with.

There are only 6 or 7 airlines that fly out of my local international airport. I’ve had disappointing customer service experiences of one degree or another from every single one of them. If I was following a “one and done” approach, I’d have no one to fly commercially with.

Specifically with magnetic hard drive manufacturers, there are only 3 left in existence: Seagate, Western Digital, and Toshiba

If you’ve sworn off Seagate, that means all of your future purchase have to be accommodated by the remaining two. I hope that is enough.

What was Seagate’s excuse for not honoring the warranty when you filed a claim?

My logic was that in 2008 when I bought a brand new seagate hard drive, and it was dead before I plugged it in, they refused to honor their warrenty.

If it was a new drive bought from a retailer, why didn’t you return it to the retailer?

Thats a really harsh description for crypto-bros.

Note to self: Don’t buy a Jeep.

And if the only way you remember that is by a strong hook and bass line, I’ve got you covered.

Would be funny to watch this go through and see how quickly he changes his mind on Open AI’s business model.

He’d be allowed to back out on this one unlike Twitter. He’d use his power with trump to prevent the SEC from forcing the sale to go through like the SEC did with Twitter.

Yikes who would downvote this comment? Pretty gross how many people love cars more than humanity and the planet.

Well, I did, and its not because I love cars and hate humanity/the planet. Its that this is such an irrelevant comment on the topic and is just looking to derail and invite argument that you yourself are perpetuating with your Strawman you posted here. I don’t downvote because I disagree with an opinion. I downvote when the posts are actively working against topical conversation to the thread.

That poster did the equivalent of going into a thread about threats to livestock and said “everyone should be a vegan”.

Oh, I downvoted you too, BTW.
