I just rec'd a Schiit email about the Yggdrasil+ and clicked the "Learn More" button. It took me to the regular Yggdrasil page. Nov 9, 2022

        Is this something new and the email beat the website update? Or is this marketing the old?

      new hard drive - box beat to hell from shipping... should I be concerned?

        If it seems fine I wouldn't be TOO concerned. Main concern with impact damage on a hard drive is that the drive heads will make contact with the magnetic platters, and if that didn't happen you should be fine

        In particular heads hitting a spinning platter is very bad, but in an unpowered drive the heads should be "parked" and less sensitive to impact. Also, the packaging has done its job, like the crumple zones on a car, so much better than an impact to a bare HDD. I'd do a scan for bad sectors and check the SMART info before you reshape/rebuild your RAID with it, but probably nothing to worry about.

        Not American, never been there, so hey, probably skip this, but...

        Seems to me that, regardless of the political future, there is currently a job to be done in America. That job requires a guy who reeks of competence and shows up people who don't, skill in oratory and adversarial questioning And reasonable decency. Job requirements. If not fulfilled, job won't be done.

        @Thad E Ginathom ... absolutely correct. And neither of our candidates are even remotely up to the task. TBH, anyone up to the task wouldn't want anything to do with the job given the current political and media (social and otherwise) climate.

        The whole thing just needs rebooted. Give them all an early retirement, send them home and shut down DC.

        Maybe you guys could borrow Britain's Starmer: he's good at handling Yellow Man, he could probably handle Orange Man. But there's a long time before he gets to fight an election. Which his predecessor screwed up completely.
