so the solution is not to let markets and wages alone dictate the conditions for decent life.

it just depends on the specifics. a manager (or management team) can theoretically offload administrative stuff in big organizations that would overwhelm everyone at the edge to distribute

for those curious like me, wikipedia says this was a coal/diesel plant

why do these things almost never close properly

slightly eggy as a bonus(?)

i had a lot of problems with my t7 and went through an absolutely excruciating return process. the bad service now makes me think twice about buying samsung products in general, but i had zero issues and was very happy with my samsung memory products before the t7.

i would get great read/write performance, but i think it had some bad blocks or whatever (confirmed but not apparently correctable with samsung magician) that id run into; when that would happen the drive would get a red blinkenlight, my pc would freak out, refuse to dismount the drive, unplugging/replugging was of no use, and the only temporary remedy involved a full reboot.

I guess it could help to talk to someone familiar with it, maybe they would know the lay of the land. Otherwise it’s a matter of deciphering the architecture of the ancients. Your ability to do that entirely depends on how obscure it all is to you. Many software projects have been born out of the incomprehensibility and unmaintainability of older otherwise-perfectly-functional codebases ☺️
