That looks like damage to the plastic coating, blast from the past, but you could just throw them in a resurfacer if you can find one, every resurface will be less reliable than the one before it though.
May not be worth it, how old are these? My knowledge is maybe out of date, but if it's a dvd-rw opposed to a generic dvd-r, the usable lifespan used to be pretty limited. In theory, manufacturers claim 10-25 years based on their accelerated testing methods, but in actual lifespan, some data hoarders were seeing numbers average as low as 2 years for large collections. No good studies out there I'm aware of though. I used to have all of my media on dvd-rs and almost all of mine were showing read errors after 5 years, even the ones from the good manufacturer, this was back in... 2010ish.
The money is important, but it isn't the most important part of the equation. The value of having a nearly 100% dependable ally in that region trumps almost every other possible concern from a political perspective.
I kinda feel like voice search is just an inherently bad platform for shopping.
Supposedly... Home & Kitchen is the most popular category on Amazon, consumer choice comes into that so rapidly that it's hard for it to make sense with just audio feedback or even a tiny screen like the show.
No presidential candidate is going to do more than lip service until the situation there changes drastically. From a political standpoint, this is only an issue at all for the under 30 crowd. Even then, it's almost exclusively an issue for the demographics that are going to vote democrat or just stay home, most are smart enough to realize that the other side would be worse. Even if the youth turnout somehow doubled, this probably still wouldn't make up for how deeply deeply unpopular the Palestinian government is with every other demographic. Anyone who is old enough to remember when the current organization in charge first got going is looking at the younger generations like they are insane.
She's much more likely to just be more generically silent and passive on the issue now that her exposure is higher. I would bet she actually dials it back even more than she did on her last speech.
I kinda feel like that's the entirety of good parenting. Some things have higher or lower priorities, but ideally, I want my children to be more competent than me in everything I know how to do and more.
They definitely could, but most cybersecurity departments are paid too much to worry about minor items like that. If HR tells us to look into a specific user and gets the proper approvals so that everything is in compliance, we'll definitely get someone on the team to do it, but otherwise if we happen to see evidence of unapproved usage, we're mostly going to overlook it unless it could lead to something dangerous to your machine or the company as a whole.
EDRs like Crowdstrike can see very very nearly everything you do though, definitely everything you would care about.
Been awhile since we've POCed Crowdstrike, but I don't think you can set the cadence on updates for Crowdstrike. I believe Crowdstrike enforces auto-updates, it was at least the default setting.
I'm still on the Sims 3 because you can get it origin free still, but I feel like the Sims treadmill is just buying mostly the same game over and over. There's a lot of franchises like that, but I feel like it's a lot harder for a game like the Sims with the demographics it serves to keep creating reasons to upgrade.
If you were raised in the south, also that slavery was never really a big deal anyways and it was mostly a deal with the North like just being really unfair and mean.
If you didn't laugh when they came up with the slogan "Together, there are more of us!", then I don't know what's wrong with you.
