If it won't line their pockets - politicians won't vote for it.
Numerous studies have linked an increase in traffic deaths to the DST time shift where an hour of sleep is lost.
Politicians don't care - or they'd agree on the simple bill to just Kill DST.
I wonder why more states just don't follow Arizonas lead and lock their clocks.
KerryGold (salted or unsalted), vs Plugra. Neither will disapoint.

I'd prefer two drives for a RAID configuration. That's what I have for a NASW, two drives.
Can't do RAID-5 with less than 3 drives. A 2-drive RAID Mirror protects against a single drive failure at a 100% storage space penalty (2 x 4TB drives = only 4 TB storage space). A 3-drive x 2TB each RAID-5 box gives a 4TB box with a single drive failure recovery. You can get Multi-drive RAID boxes for much less than a NAS.

AI version definitely looks 'photoshopped' as textures and hues don't quite match - - HOWEVER:
IMHO the AI face seems much less abrupt and more appealing than the original.

Great Story - - it's a shame the OP hasn't returned to the thread.
Beautiful puppy - will be yours for life. I suspect OP meant 75 Kg (100#)
Yep - they get big fast, and will eat you out of house and home.
And the Good Lord will be needed for anyone who messes with you.

And of course neither is correct if she is Filipino.
My first was in 1985 - an IBM-PC knock-off made by a company called Corona (I chose an Orange rather than a Green screen). My first upgrade was to add a second 160KB floppy. THEN upgraded to a HUGE 80MB HDD, added an 80286 math co-processor AND put in a Whopping 1MB RAM !! SHAZAM !!

I've had cats and dogs all my life, and they often make me stay where I am rather than getting up and disturbing them.
We have 3 cats - all of which have taken to sharing our bed. Waking up in the morning we frequently find ourselves "catted" and can't move. Oh Well - another hour of sleep

Should one Drive fail I have a backup. I don't think I will ever need a Cloud.
Charles: The problem with your solution is if a virus or some other corrupts your 20TB cluster, BOTH drives will lose their data - for example - ransomware. The SAFEST solution is to have an external back-up solution that ONLY runs after the end of your day when you have no reason to suspect any problems.
I have TWO NAS (both by Q-Nap) one a 12TB RAID-5 (4x4TB) and the other a 24TB RAID-5 (3x12TB). I can access either from anywhere in the world over the Internet with a user ID and password known only to me. I use back-up software by EaseUS (TODO Backup) to do complete backups of my system drive every 2 days, and do a makeshift Grandfather (monthly full)/Father(weekly differential)/Son (daily incremental) backup of my data drive. It's makeshift because the program won't automatically delete the files once they become irrelevant - such as the interrim incrementals after a weekly differential has been done, etc. I have to go delete them manually - usually about once per month.
We have replaceable Varactor based whole-house surge suppression (installed when we put in Solar and Generac). Both NAS are powered by UPS which also have surge suppression.
Cloud-Based backup is NOT a choice for me - as I have over 3.5TB on my data drive and stuff on the cloud is Slow Slow Slow, and more than a couple of hundred MB becomes unwieldy AND Expensive!

I Googled it to see if it was a distro of Linux I hadn’t heard of and you were running Win 11 in a VM.
LOL
Nahhh - I have a habit of naming things so everyone knows Which Thing I'm talking about.
My last 4 computers have been (oldest) Colossus, Lightning, Mjolnir, Thanos (newest).
Cars: Electra (Fusion Plug-in Hybrid), Brutus (Expedition Ltd w/ towing package) and Joulee (Tucson Hybrid).

Water over the dam now - as Win-11 runs fine on Thanos.
Mjolnir is still limping along with Win-10 and occasional BSODs - but I only run some older software on that.
Thanks

you can update a “non compliant” win 10 machine to to win 11 - by adding a few lines to the registry and turning on secure boot in the BIOS
Except when you can't.
I built a machine in 2014/15 running Win-7, later updated to Win-10.
https://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-496767-1.htmlThe Win-11 compliance checker said I didn't have a TPM, so I got one supposedly compatible with my MoBo.
Nope - Win-11 was still a no-go (despite enabling secure boot and tweaking the registry).
Don't really need Win-11 on that machine now as I built a new one that runs Win-11 just fine.
