NAND Flash Memory
NAND flash memory is a type of non-volatile storage technology, meaning it retains data even when the power is off.
You can lose your data if it is not used for at least 1 year and you store it poorly (temperature) but the resident idiot believes in the extreme.

Quick one . You have a lot of storage, Have you set up a RAID partition especially on the OS partition.
I always have 2 mirrored disks on servers that are hot swappable and contain the OS
Fir personal ,I don't need much ,my important stuff is on USBs and cloud.
P
Does he know what raid is? He plugs a USB to one of his wireless network they shout he has NAS 😂🤣😂🤣😂

That's one or two hard drive partitioned. For him computer is for play.
Plays games from 2004 😂😂 and he wants me to assume his system is powerful.

Now I know why gloriousgbola was acting like he knows anything about nnpc and why he said they don't employ IT guys 😂

The detainees get due process.
You sound like you don't understand what that means.
More of a win for the Venezuelans than Trump no matter what your degenerate self thinks.

A wanna be immigrant against due process for immigrants.
A nutty world with nutty people.
Two rulings.
Judge had ordered the gang member be brought back by midnight yesterday. Trump appeal was thrown out but SCOTUS CJ stayed the order . A judge demanded with a timeline for the govt to negotiate with a foreign govt . To return a potential criminal back to US soil..

This guy had lost all appeals and finally claimed assylum. Judge only ordered he should not be sent to El Salvador because his life would be in danger

In the second ruling , SCOTUS by 5-4 ruling lifted the Restraining order of using the Invasion Act to deport The court also held that the president can use the Act , but the deportees would have a due process . But they are held in Texas, only a judge in Texas can listen to their pleadings. Not Boasberg in DC , court ruled basically he has no jurisdiction. I'll write more about him and his next step, which should be impeachement, disbarring. Plainly speaking a judge can sit on the runway and ask any Deportees under the act to show their visa as long as the govt can show he was a gang member so prescribed.

It's absurd that anyone can cross the border illegally but To deport him an immigration judge has to Okay it. Joe Biden let in over 5 million ( possibly 12) illegals cross. There are 700 immigration judges to oversee removal of millions . That's a joke. Was a deliberate effort by Biden handlers to ship in illegals. Kamala would have given them citizenship or whatever legal status she could confer including voting rights.
Conclusion. Democrats were importing voters.
America escaped a bullet.

It is statically impossible that the millions of people who took to the streets in all states even red states were all democrats.
Even in the so called red states there are millions who vote for Democrats. There are professional protesters and will always protest since their candidate lost

Before Trump was sworn in they were already protesting. Even in 2016 before he was sworn in people were already protesting

So do you expect people who were already running out of the country, already protesting before he even got official powers to stop when he implemented his policies?

If Trump says today is Tuesday, people will go out to protest

In the UK, the final of a pool tournament featured 2 men who transitioned. That's what democrats will protest Trump for.

The same people who sat down in protest when the mother of a freed hostage was released, sat down in protest when family of victims of violence by illegals were applauded, they protested anything and everything

This is one of their protesters

You just can't have zero tariffs on every product. If the tariffs were fair noone would be cursing Trump for enacting tariffs.
Whether China agrees to remove all taxes, America can't do the same because most of the manufacturing is outside of America and in China specifically . When Trump 1.0 introduced tariffs to China ,a lot of their companies moved to Vietnam. Others set up shop in Canada and Mexico where they could manufacture in China,then assemble in Mexico and send them tarif free to your doorstep.
I don't know why you people are bitter when Trump is basically saying. We are their biggest market ,we need to be able to sell to them too.
China ,and I've posted a long story about them. Won't allow you to operate without local partners . Difference.Once they know how your product is made they open a competitor across the street and compete with you .They will change the brand name so slightly ,a lot of buyers won't know . For instance, Samsung competitor becomes Sansung with exactly the same outward appearance. IOW they don't respect IP,they sort of encourage it

This is what Trump is battling. I want a bully who will stand up to China first.
China is the second largest economy yet WTO ranks it as a developing economy, under GATT they attract lower tariffs .
You made a good point. I also agree that zero tariffs on every product is unrealistic. While tariffs can play a role in addressing trade imbalances, relying on them as the sole solution is misguided. Like you stated many companies have moved manufacturing to countries like Vietnam and Canada, instead of bringing jobs back to the US. Why is that?

I think the focus should be on finding solutions that address the underlying issues prompting companies to manufacture abroad, Instead of resorting to blanket tariffs, which can harm American consumers and businesses.

No one asked for zero tariffs on every single product. You can’t manufacture an argument that no one is making and then start arguing against that. It makes the rest of the stuff you typed below meaningless. Because literally no one said there should be zero tariffs on every single product USA trades with the rest of world. That’s how you guys make up stories. Tariffs are not new. They are used meaningfully when it benefits the country.

The thing is why is he saying zero tariffs on every product as if that’s a legitimate stance that anyone has ever adopted? Let’s not lend credibility to outrageous POVs. Otherwise we’ll be stuck debating things that never happened. You’ll find yourself defending a position you never even adopted to begin with simply because they found a way to work it into the conversation when it wasn’t even part of it to begin with.

The funny thing is that in one post you’re saying Americans are happy with him and in the next post you’re saying millions of Kamala voters are not happy with him. So those millions are not Americans? You can’t have it both ways.

Sounds like your leaders are panicking too. One thing is certain, as ghoulish as they are, they’re not above pretending to care about the economy when it’s their pockets being hit

SENATE
7 GOP senators sign on to bill to check Trump’s trade authority

BY ALEXANDER BOLTON 04/07/25 12:59 PM ET

Seven Republican senators, including Sen. Chuck Grassley (Iowa), the Senate’s president pro tempore, and Sen. Mitch McConnell (Ky.), the former Senate Republican leader, have signed on to a bipartisan bill that would require Congress to approve President Trump’s steep tariffs on trading partners.

Grassley and McConnell have joined five other Republicans — Sens. Jerry Moran (Kan.), Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), Thom Tillis (N.C.), Todd Young (Ind.) and Susan Collins (Maine) — in supporting the Trade Review Act of 2025.


The legislation would limit Trump’s ability to impose unilateral tariffs without the approval of Congress.

It would require the president to notify Congress of the imposition of new tariffs and increased tariffs within 48 hours and provide an explanation of the reasoning for the action.

It would also require the administration to provide an assessment of the potential impact of imposing or increasing the duty on U.S. businesses and consumers.



More critically, it would require that new tariffs sunset after 60 days unless Congress passes a joint resolution approving them.


And it provides a pathway for Congress to cancel tariffs before the 60-day period expires by passing a joint resolution of disapproval.

Trump has already threatened to veto the bill.

As usual you don't get the man talk. If you are rich , they can let you grab them by the pussy. He never said he grabs them He meant some women no matter their status can do anything for men just because he is rich and successful
Find out what acts Tiger Woods was doing to his girlfriends, if he wasn't rich they would have never given him a minute if their time.
What you call "man talk", I call pigs talking. And that's one reason I have no regard for you whatsoever. And I'm concerned what you might be teaching your boys.

Just like Americans voted him in despite the 70M who didn't. there are more people who are in support of him than those who are not

The millions of Americans who check the border and see the lowest numbers of crossings in decades are thankful we have a president that is serious about securing them.
They see a president who is serious about protecting their girls in sport
They see a president who is putting America first in everything.

One of the major reasons companies manufacture abroad is because of cheap labor. Every job done in America can be done for less than 30% of the labor cost outside America. In China 10yr olds can work for 75 cents an hour, This would be illegal in America

So what will be the possible solution to that?

China is actively subsidzing manufacturing to hurt the US as well.

Check out the profit margin of Apple or Nike products. They could have their product produced in the US, pay the wages and still make profit.

It very hard to come up with a clear solution, given the competitive advantage of cheap labor. Maybe offering incentives to companies that commit to domestic production would help encourage businesses to prioritize local manufacturing while still maintaining competitiveness in the market.

As for preventing users from copying data ,that's a hard one. One can use encryption but if the AD database gets corrupt, you sweat bullets.
Always tell staff , everything can be monitored and that's enough for nearly every employee. Locking down USB ports is so 2000. One can still open a document, copy and paste it elsewhere. It's a very tall order to prevent determined employee from siphoning data

Another option is making imported goods as expensive as locally manufactured goods. Which is what every country does to American goods, they make sure its more expensive than their local goods. To encourage local production and more importantly provide jobs to people locally

Business people if they can will use completely cheap foreign staff that includes me because your motives are to make the most profits

As seen during covid, its a national security risk to put all your manufacturing on China. Every day to day item that we use in America could not ship down due to supply chain issues. You are literally betting your entire economy on continued goodwill with China. You have become Chinas bitchh

If there is a war today and China suspends all importation to US what then happens

If there is a legal loophole that you can exploit to make more money, You will take it, I will also take it. Everyone is in business to maximize profits and make more money. So I don't blame Nike or Apple if there is a loophole they can exploit to increase their profits. Its the govt job to close the loophole and if they don't, I wont blame anyone using it

Gradually every job in America is going abroad because there are 5bn people who can do the jobs for cheaper

If you are a Teacher/engineer/Nurse/driver and suddenly Teaching/Engineering/Nursing/driving jobs can be shipped abroad where they will gladly accept $2/hr, Hw long before the American become jobless

When they become jobless, they need more safety nets and unemployment income that would be paid from the taxes of the few working

While it true that Pearl Harbor was a wake-up call for the US, the situation with Iran today is different in several way.

The US of today is more active in diplomacy and intelligence-gathering to monitor threats and prevent nuclear proliferation. This is not 1940, there are more channels to address this issue. Waiting for marked enemies to grow powerful is risky, but so is escalating tensions with an uncertain outcome.

What’s even this guy’s problem?

Surely this is intentional at this point. He has to be trying to sabotage National Security.
The National Security Council (NSC) has clarified reporting about National Security Advisor Michael Waltz and his staffers using personal Gmail accounts for government communications.

A report published by the Washington Post on Tuesday claimed that one of Waltz's senior aides used Gmail "for highly technical conversations with colleagues at other government agencies involving sensitive military positions and powerful weapons systems relating to an ongoing conflict," according to the piece.

"While the NSC official used his Gmail account, his interagency colleagues used government-issued accounts, headers from the email correspondence show," the Post reported.

The piece comes a week after Waltz took responsibility for one of his staffers accidentally adding The Atlantic editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg to a sensitive Signal chat with other officials, including Vice President JD Vance.

Brand and Tate and basilico are spiritual kin: grifters claiming persecution while monetising male resentment and preaching from their digital pulpits. Both found God (different brands, same marketing strategy), both claim to be silenced, and both are loudly defended by men desperate to believe it.
