Sadly the import taxes from the states would almost double it. I think I can find somewhat cheaper drives in Germany if I looked hard though.

Drives have always been more expensive where I live due to taxes and extra "pirate taxes" they stick on anything you can store data on. But now they are even worse, so sad. $589 for 16TB Toshiba N300 was the cheapest "new" ones I could find at a glance.

Well, Diablo 2 sure has for me.

Synd att undersökningen inte innehöll något om mekaniska hårddiskar, priserna har förvisso inte stuckit så jävla mycket men det har gått upp en del.

This is the reality in some other countries. In Sweden, our "SSN" is our date of birth followed by four numbers that have different meanings depending on when you were born. During the period I was born it was an area code, and a binary of male/female and a control number. This has changed over time to not be exactly the same for newer generations. All of this information is available publicly to search for through our version of the IRS that then trickles out to various private companies that just publish it out right.

I personally have a dislike for this system, as I am a major privacy enjoyer. But people can't really do anything with the information if they had it. If someone looks up my name and SSN, they have it, but can't bring me harm.

"Göteborg 2001, det var det värsta jag sett

Snuten flippa fett, och av makten fick dom rätt

Göran Persson hylla dom och gav dom blommor som tack

Såg allting på TV, jag blev galet lack!

Efteråt en lång debatt, full av skitsnack

Där alla satt och tyckte synd om farbror blå

Ingen av dom var där, men ändå tyckte dom så

Jodå, ni ger dom rätten att slå

Polisen gömmer sig bakom sin kåranda, när dom backar varandra

Ljuger i rätten och skyller på dom andra

Men gör jag samma sak är det mened min vän

Då får jag kanske böter eller fängelse sen

Är det det som är likhet inför lagen?"

Already working on it. Evergrowing collection of media of all sorts. But I've been working on that for decades by now.

You will own nothing and you will be happy. Bezos already laid the ground for this when he mused about everything living in the cloud a while ago. And where things are going with hardware prices, they think they can make it happen sooner rather than later, is my guess.

Daimstrut försvinner? Vad i helvete. :(
