Who knows what data type they’re using. Based on the values given, it’s already getting close to 128 bits, and most languages don’t have a data type that large in their standards.

I figure it will be more like “Vasily! Print another page of zeros!”

First episodes almost always don’t count as far as lore goes, even if some things do carry over.

Uh-oh Spagetti-O’s

This is one of the larger plot holes in the 1980s remake of The Fly, in my opinion.

If you have Windows, it might be worth getting it to run Scandisk - or whatever the current equivalent is - on that drive.

That would at least give it less excuse to set problematic bits. In theory there’d be no harm doing this. In practice, well, make sure you have other copies of whatever is on that drive on the off-chance Windows constantly setting that bit is a sign of an underlying problem that Scandisk would make worse (or Windows/the disk decides to mangle files for some other reason.)

I once gave a vegan friend of mine pause for thought when I pointed out that we probably shouldn’t be keeping pets in the first place if those pets aren’t in their natural habitat doing what their species evolved to do. They had cats.
