I should say at the outset that this is not cheap. Very not cheap. What you’re looking at is $890’s worth of external drive in the 512GB version I have here, or $500 for the 256GB model. This is not a drive aimed at a consumer wanting a bit of external storage for their movies, but rather a high-performance drive aimed at audiovisual professionals who need an external drive that delivers the kind of speeds in a mobile environment that they are used to from their office setup … The casing...

But you believe you have time to fix it before it spirals beyond your pay grade and into an ether whose gases you don’t breathe....

Of all the pop singers who could be featured in a documentary available for streaming on Netflix, Taylor Swift definitely seemed like the least likely. The star is very private and besides penning songs about her romantic history, she doesn’t give fans all the details that they really want. That’s why the news that Swift would have a documentary was both surprising and exciting. The film is nicely crafted, features a lot of her music, and is an interesting ride for both fans and also those who have heard her hit singles but don’t know much about her....
