I've seen this claim twice now in this thread that WD bought Seagate; and I'm not saying you're wrong, bit I legitimately don't see this info anywhere online and I'm pretty sure neither owns the other.
Mind, I'm on mobile so it's hard to verify things but, I suspect there's some confusion here.
My understanding is that it's a relatively recent issue, maybe last 5 or so years? WD is currently leading the pack if I remember correctly.
This is the website im referring to btw. You happened to catch me on my lunch so I could go find it. They have lots of stats, and it's not like it covers 100% of drives but personally I still think it's useful and you can draw some general conclusions from it.

I'm at work so I'm sorry for not being able to provide a source, but there's a website that tracks hard drive failure rates and Seagate is consistently one of the worst brands. So there's some extra facts for you.
Echoing all of this.
I almost never have to deal with angry men, and, when they are frustrated I often get lots of "I'm sorry it's not you, I'm late for work." style comments.
I primarily play runescape as an afk game, so my opinion of sepulchre is "well it's good but requires a lot more focus than I like." OSRS is something of an idle game for me lol.
That being said I definitely think more skills need a sepulchre level of content. I also wish agility had a more chill option than even rooftops.
Primarily working on agility through sepulchre! It's pretty fun honestly, though it requires quite a bit of focus. I'll probably stop after green log.
While I'm not at runefest the livestream was cool, though im a little disappointed I feel like we didn't get too many new reveals.
Fucking same.
I don't want to hate them, but how could I do anything but hate people who voted for the fascist nazi in charge of the US?
Hi! I found it on my lunch. it's definitely not a perfect comparison but I personally think there's enough data to make some useful generalizations.
