ECC and DDR5 2 days ago

ECC is essentially mandatory for ZFS. Assuming that is you prefer your data uncorrupted.

They supplied me with false and misleading information. I'd not call the deceptive and utterly useless talk I got from Meta Verified "support." YMMV

Yes, you read it right. I wrote inelegantly though. There is no actual support provided by the "enhanced support." It's a scam.

I don't think you can assume your identity was compromised. I know the Facebook denial dialog suggests that "unusual activity" was detected and you need to access it via your mobile device. Of course as you know that doesn't help.

I signed on for Meta enhanced support for a month (nb, don't bother doing this, it's a waste of money) and had numerous voice calls with pandering support people who assured me it had nothing to do with identity and everything to do with vague "Community Standards violations" that can't be identified. FWIW the restrictions are indefinite and can't be appealed.

FB is set up like it's based on the film "Brazil" mated with Sartre's "No Exit."

Well it's not all lost otherwise it'd be a stall spin accident caused by performing the maneuver with too little airspeed. And that's hard to do. It's a noisy maneuver, the air slamming against the fuselage makes itself heard. Once performed it's not easily forgotten.

More dangerous than inadvertently spinning with too little airspeed is the possibility of shock cooling when relying on a forward slip for too much altitude loss. It really does need to be well-controlled.
