planned obsolescence in computer hard disks.

We recently covered a study by Secure Data Recovery, an HDD, SSD, and RAID data recovery company, of 2,007 defective hard disk drives it received. It found the average time before failure among those drives to be 2 years and 10 months. That seemed like a short life span, but considering the limited sample size and analysis in Secure Data Recovery's report, there was room for skepticism. Today, Backblaze, a backup and cloud storage company with a reputation for detailed HDD and SSD failure analysis, followed up Secure Data Recovery's report with its own research using a much larger data set. Among the 17,155 failed HDDs Backblaze examined, the average age at which the drives failed was 2 years and 6 months.

Backblaze arrived at this age by examining all of its failed drives and their respective power-on hours. The company recorded each drive's failure date, model, serial number, capacity, failure, and SMART raw value. The 17,155 drives examined include 72 different models and does not include failed boot drives, drives that had no SMART raw attribute data, or drives with out-of-bounds data. If Backblaze only looked at drives that it didn't use in its data centers anymore, there would be 3,379 drives across 35 models, and the average age of failure would be a bit longer at 2 years and 7 months. Backblaze said its results thus far “are consistent” with Secure Data Recovery's March findings. This is despite Backblaze currently using HDDs that are older than 2 years and 7 months.

“in time”

The BBC looks at free websites like TimeRepublik, “which describes itself as 'a timebank for the internet era'.” Time banking is in essence a more sophisticated form of bartering. You don't pay someone in money for a job that they do for you. Instead you give that person time credits that they can then use to get a service without financial payment from someone else... A “TimeCoin” credit... accounts to 15 minutes no matter what job you provide, be it cutting the lawn of a neighbour, or maths tuition via a video call. You simply advertise what you are offering and how long it would take in TimeCoins.

“We wanted to distance ourselves from financial transactions and find something that could create relationships between people,” says co-founder Gabriele Donati. “Because we truly believe that only through our relationships, you can gain the trust of another person.” TimeRepublik is today based in both Lugano, Switzerland and New York, and says it has more than 100,000 users around the world. It makes money by selling the service to companies who then offer it to their staff via their internal websites.

The first version of TimeRepublik launched in Switzerland in 2012, according to the BBC, though the site expanded internationally “in the past couple of years.”

One user told the BBC that with monetary expectations out of the way, “you really get to the core of things and you discover something, I think, that's greater and sort of priceless.”

15 minute cities . . . you haven't much time.

You haven't much time to realize that for years we've been warning you about the people that are currently doing this.

What am I to do? I'm too busy! Etc..

Just don't tolerate it. Get creative. Do whatever it takes, to resist and make sure this garbage doesn't continue.

Your time to fight it is literally running out.

Once the razor wire and armed guards are in place, it's over for all of us.

Do not lament.. Do not fear.

To those that are miserable and feel there is no hope,

Put your hope and trust in Yeshua, and our heavenly father.

Do not lament the strife of this world, for it is all temporary, and your soul can be eternal. Wash yourselves clean, repent, atone and apply the full armor of God,and ointment. Eat good food, and do good unto others.

Don't sweat the big stuff, but pray against it, from a fleshy heart, and do your best to remain always in hope, and never in fear.

II Timothy 1,7 7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
