  • Not within the computer’s lifetime. Consumer-grade SSDs are generally rated for 3000-5000 write cycles or more, and contain some kind of wear levelling mechanism to distribute write operations over the entire physical medium to reduce the chance of individual block failures. The first SSD I ever bought is still going strong as my server’s root filesystem.

    Spez.

    He’s spreading cheeks to the muskrat with both hands, and in the process, “accidentally” banned a ton of NSFW subs. This made at least some people realize that their future is not guaranteed on reddit, that an off-service backup is needed; then a r/piracy post mentioning Lemmy reached the front page.













  • Not useless, but it can go bad much quicker. A few years ago I lost a rotary hoe because the engine had been damaged and the carburetor had gotten clogged. The fuel was less than a year old, but closer in color to cooking oil.

    If gasoline sits in open air or a non-sealed container for a long time, its lighter fractions will eventually evaporate. The heavier fractions can cause blockages and misfires. It can still be used, but you have to dilute it with fresh gasoline. If it happens while inside an engine, the carburetor should be rinsed with fresh gasoline to remove clogs.

    Some, but the output drops significantly. Solar panels like direct sunlight. Even a thin cloud layer can reduce the output just by both blocking and diffusing sunlight.

    (The graphs are just for illustration, I have no context for them)

    A car-sized EV’s convenience is wasteful when energy is scarce and other options are available.


  • Zombie flicks are not exactly known for their strict adherence to realism. Residential power would likely be the first to go, if only to reserve generator capacity and fuel for military, medical, and government facilities, and rich assholes’ mansions.

    Maintaining the electric grid takes an incredible amount of work and the tight cooperation of all of its facilities. If one or several large generator were to shut down, it might cause a cascading collapse. Executing a black start is a massive challenge at the best of times, and probably impossible in a post-collapse society.
