Not saying any of these would cause WW3, but remeber that, depending on who you ask, WW2 started:

• when Germany and Russia invaded Poland in 1939
• when Germany invaded Checkoslovakia in 1938
• when Japan invaded China in 1937

there is no single point of start for a war, just many actions of variable intensity that escalate

Hdd can live a long and happy life, but absolutely don’t trust a single drive ever, independently of how rugged, old or expensive it is.

My main hard drive lasted 5 years with 1 year of power on hours, working fine and suddenly failed. It was a good fail because I was able to get all the data from it, but it took almost one month for how slow it was.

Always assume your data storage is going to die tomorrow and be ready to replace it.

For example?
