its pretty rampant these days. My dad had been using a web hosting company since the 90’s, and recently they got bought by some investment bank that just raised prices about 6x with barely any warning. He had to scramble to migrate the bulk of the stuff he had on there to somewhere more sane.
Pressure Cookers are wonderful for beans. Something like the Instant Pot can cook beans for you, as well as a whole bunch of other stuff. If you’re not comfortable with pressure cookers, there’s also slow cookers, tho they’ll take longer than just boiling the beans.

in 3 years PC build guides are gonna be like “You need 3 drives in your gaming PC. One for the OS (this can be small, its not important), at least 2TB for games, and another 1TB for the shaders for those games. Oh and you’ll need a top of the line Nvidia card because even a dumb UE5 asset dump game like Notary Simulator won’t run on a budget card”
