Makes me very fortunate to get both my PC and laptops upgraded before the RAMageddon began...
@stroz@infosec.exchange The "24" series had one season within a 24 hour span (24 episodes to be exact) so the 8th season is month number 8 of the rookie year (1 season = 1 month)
My guess it'll run 12 seasons.
@stroz@infosec.exchange Or maybe this is likely the 8th month...

@CaroltheCrone@mastodon.sdf.org Sadly there won't be with all these cover ups. People have every right to be furious alhtough they're powerless to do anything.
Remember that over half this country voted for this to happen and I'll never forgive them.

@misty@digipres.club Like I said, I can see them not existing in 2-5 years because of other industries are preparing and prepping lawsuits of their own against the IA now and the floodgates have opened due to this. https://mastodon.sdf.org/@joeo10/113080680465983569
