Well, it came. DAMAGED!!! FML.

The delivery guy from Walmart brought it in, and I saw a huge hole on the side. I told him to take pics because if its damaged, Im not accepting it. He took pics but couldn't wait for me to open it. I opened it and yep... cracked screen.

It was shipped and fulfilled by Walmart (according to the third party seller I spoke to) so I have to go through them, fine. However, they could only return the item and not replace at the price I paid. Its now $2296 now (I paid 1890). Walmart could not, or would not honor a replacement at the same price. WTF!

They have to contact the seller to see if they would honor another. Who knows if they will, but im not holding my breath. They are coming to pick up the damaged unit on Friday.

Any shackers work for Walmart corporate? This is horrible CS.

Make sure to randomize the names of your S3 buckets cuz anyone can keep attempting to write to it and your $$ go up

> One of the popular open-source tools had a default configuration to store their backups in S3. And, as a placeholder for a bucket name, they used the same name that I used for my bucket.

> This meant that every deployment of this tool with default configuration values attempted to store its backups in my S3 bucket!

How Far Trump Would Go

https://time.com/6972021/donald-trump-2024-election-interview/

To carry out a deportation operation designed to remove more than 11 million people from the country, Trump told me, he would be willing to build migrant detention camps and deploy the U.S. military, both at the border and inland. He would let red states monitor women’s pregnancies and prosecute those who violate abortion bans. He would, at his personal discretion, withhold funds appropriated by Congress, according to top advisers. He would be willing to fire a U.S. Attorney who doesn’t carry out his order to prosecute someone, breaking with a tradition of independent law enforcement that dates from America’s founding. He is weighing pardons for every one of his supporters accused of attacking the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, more than 800 of whom have pleaded guilty or been convicted by a jury. He might not come to the aid of an attacked ally in Europe or Asia if he felt that country wasn’t paying enough for its own defense. He would gut the U.S. civil service, deploy the National Guard to American cities as he sees fit, close the White House pandemic-preparedness office, and staff his Administration with acolytes who back his false assertion that the 2020 election was stolen.

Pure insanity that people are on the fence about whether or not to vote against this guy.
