Yes, HGST drive are the most reliable, but they're also very expensive.
It's ironic that when RAID was invented it stood for Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks. This was later revised to stand for Redundant Array of Independent Disks.
Looking at the "Software announcements" section on that first edition, I notice they list Webalizer. Made me realize how long that has been around. Another nice piece of open source software.
How about, just like when a company is testing the fire alarms in a building, you ANNOUNCE BEFOREHAND that a TEST will be happening that day. You can just as thoroughly test your system without it being a surprise.
Dell will preload the software on new Dell consumer and business PCs.
Oh, great. One more piece of pre-installed software I need to uninstall. Honestly, fire up any new computer from Dell, HP, you name it - the number of programs running in the background before you even start any of your own applications is mind-boggling. It's like if you bought a brand new car and they loaded the trunk full of sand before you left the lot.
I think at one time Alienware was know for not doing this, but they've been purchased by Dell so I don't know if they're any better now.
Internet Explorer back then, locked you into a shit ton of closed source proprietary secret poorly documented stuff (embed OLE objects/ActiveX extensions night mare).
Locked in? As I recall, ActiveX extensions are things you install voluntarily.
These days, "BIOS-level" upgrades ARE "OS-level" upgrades. UEFI even has its own shell.
Case in point:
I recently purchased a Dell PowerEdge server to run VMware's ESXi hypervisor. Before installing ESXi, I wanted to update the BIOS to the most current version. On Dell's site, I could not a "BIOS-level" update package, only "OS-level" ones. I talked to Dell, and to my surprise, the answer was to run their Windows executable from the BIOS shell.
Where did I imply that other PMs were different? My point is that Trudeau is presented as being different, but in reality he's as duplicitous as any other politician.
Trudeau may simply be saying this because he likes to project an image of being technically savvy, such as when he staged an "explanation" of quantum computing a while back.
OpenBSD has promoted this belief for years. The description of their audit process states...
"Another facet of our security auditing process is its proactiveness. In most cases we have found that the determination of exploitability is not an issue. During our ongoing auditing process we find many bugs, and endeavor to fix them even though exploitability is not proven. We fix the bug, and we move on to find other bugs to fix. We have fixed many simple and obvious careless programming errors in code and only months later discovered that the problems were in fact exploitable. (Or, more likely someone on BUGTRAQ would report that other operating systems were vulnerable to a `newly discovered problem', and then it would be discovered that OpenBSD had been fixed in a previous release). In other cases we have been saved from full exploitability of complex step-by-step attacks because we had fixed one of the intermediate steps."

Firstly, what the hell is IFTTT? Secondly, is this some kind of ad?

What they choose, is what they like, modulo what is acceptable.
What the hell does that mean?

Intel Broadwell and Haswell CPUs Experiencing Reboots After Firmware Updates
Let's call it what it is. There's a difference between a reboot and a crash. It sounds to me like users are experiencing the latter.
Intel was knowingly breaking security to make their crap seem faster.
Branch prediction doesn't seem faster. It is faster.

-- a phenomenon President Trump seems a little confused about --
FFS, I'm no Trump defender, but tossing in random, snarky asides in the summary immediately lowers the quality of the discussion.
Good one :)
Could have used a link for the Dunning-Kruger reference. I'd never heard of it before. Now I know how to describe a certain politician.

Make sure to set it on vibrate first.
TFA would come off as more sciencey if artifacts was spelled correctly in the title.
Here is a recent photograph of my naked ass. Please apply lip marks and return it to me for verification.
Seems like the author is conflating auto-complete suggestions with search results.
We may have Net Neutrality, but that doesn't mean providers aren't completely screwing us. :P
I couldn't agree more.

Would not an "Uber Hacker" be German?
Trudeau may simply be saying this because he likes to project an image of being technically savvy, such as when he staged an "explanation" of quantum computing a while back.
He is also not averse to completely reversing promises that he later finds to be inconvenient.
Take whatever our pretty-boy Prime Minister says with a grain of salt.
Canada did nothing to try and occupy the US after the war...
After we burned down the White House there seemed no need to stick around. The point was made.

that the whistle is being blown on man who became famous by blowing a whistle.
It's how the USA (currently) operates.
