Any poor quality connector can affect a sector scan and drive performance. Doesn't matter if it's connected to a corroded usb port or a bent internal sata, at the end of the day if you're getting disk errors it's best to measure using two methodologies/data pathways.

You might consider the Mackie Crx Cubes. They use bmr drivers that allow a wider Soundstage without needing as much physical space and can be had at a pretty reasonable price. Bass is lacking though, so allocate funding for a small woofer if you want the absolute best experience.

Although we don't see it, all of these developments do actually eventually make their way into battery tech. The batteries of today are not the batteries of 2014.

OP, just change your encryption key to whatever you have your password as and set your login to auto login. This will give you the experience you desire as it'll decrypt the disk with your password and log you in automatically once it's decrypted, but if you lock the system (close the lid. Screen lock. Etc) you'll still get a login screen as normal. (Just keep in mind they're technically two separate passwords and will unfortunately need to be changed separately if you do change your password).

Capitalism has scribbled right over the "social good" bits of that. We can pretty much single handedly thank Disney and lobbying.

You're the one with exorbitant usb needs. That means you'll be the one who expansions are made for. I don't have the stats in front of me, but I'd wager the vast vast majority of pc users don't use beyond 4.

They don't brick shit, don't lie. It not booting until you swap the part back to a verified part isn't even remotely close to a full bricking.

If you use iOS (I can't speak for Android) it actually uses the system music apis, so things like the dynamic island, airplay, transmission of Metadata information over Bluetooth to players (name, song, etc), and background play control all work with Finamp where they don't with the regular jellyfin app.

I'm also not sure where they got their idea that cloud is cheaper from. On prem has always been cheaper, I've had to walk through fire and flames to get my company to approve cloud hosting as we simply do not have the capacity to be our own mail host. Goodluck explaining tech debt to upper management though, it's like they're allergic to the idea of understanding it.

Yeah! The practice is called drive shucking (kinda like Oysters) and you just need to be considerate of the limitations. The drives often end up cheaper, but lose warranty support once they're shucked. They'll also occasionally be slower than a normal drive or have an odd connector, but that is rare since it's usually cheaper to go with something 'off the shelf'. If you Google it though you should usually be able to find the handful of drive SKUs they'll use in whatever external you're planning to shuck.

I think it could be viable for a company to release a game with a "5 year FOSS promise" or something similar, but you have to realize that the gaming community would never adequately financially support most development endeavors if the choice was as easy as downloading it from place A vs place B.

The antitrust machine hasn't had its scheduled maintenance for a few generations. It's gonna take a little while to spin up.

Perfect security doesn't exist. If they've got the engineering capital required to design and manufacture key retrieval hardware, you lost the moment they gained physical access to your equipment.

Filtered water will extract less due to a lack of trace minerals.

These batteries are likely far more complex in packaging, design, and thermal management that any consumer electronic cell. They'll likely "fail safely" if/when they do fail.

Thanks 🙂

China is a massive economy and country with some of the most advanced manufacturering and tooling in the entire world. Yes, it could be shoddy, but it's in a ship and is going to be far more regoriously scrutinized by their regulatory bodies than a normal stationary battery would be. I understand the plausiblity of your comment, but it seems to be rooted in prejudice or extreme ignorance.

And if memory recalls the look wasn't so good when the rifles started going off...

Actually just got my $20 for this. Class actions work sometimes I guess. 10 years after the fact.

I'll give that a shot! Thanks.

This is the way

Encoding engine basically requires it, so you'd need to implement a hack or something. https://www.reddit.com/r/IntelArc/comments/189cgsm/intel_arc_h265_encoding_performance_and_resizable/

Printed circuit board.

Probably telemetry software. Basically mandated for any publicly traded software company these days.

Lol what a take.

They'll just buy the entire startups back using their mountain of accumulated wealth and the cycle will repeat.

This comment right here officer. (Fwiw, I up voted)

You bought an exclusive license to play their game, they retain ownership of the digital information and in some cases the actual physical media. Actual ownership has been 'dead' for a long time now. I don't like it. Yes, buy elsewhere if you can but we're already past the point of consumers being able to influence this outcome with companies legally able to redefine "own" and "buy" via their ToS (not really visible to the consumer) to mean whatever best suits them.

You can boot windows from a USB stick if you really want. It's even branded. "Windows to go".

Good old Linus. "If we break userspace or common functionality, we're the problem. "

I'd save a stranger, but between a cat and my enemies I can't say I'd be inclined to go out of my way for either.

It's also worth noting that transport does not have a zero cost on the environment. It's why we did away with glass, it's so heavy it actually becomes carbon intensive to transport. Especially when you account for greater spoilage percentages (due to the glass being mishandled and breaking more often than alternatives). The equation isn't as simple as it would seem. The true solution is less likely single use drink containers of any kind and more likely some sort of reusable bottle you carry around with you and could fill up.

Most brute-force attacks can be hardened against. Again there's no perfect security, just better security.

Indubitably.

Same. Lol

I honestly have no idea. I assume it's some issue with background processing or something at an engine level. Nothing Chromium or webkit based seems to suffer the same issues, but perhaps it's just an issue with my Firefox account or an extension that doesn't behave properly with the browser. 😓

Careful doing just this. They actually track http request headers and look for desktop signifiers, so your best bet is to use a VPN in tandem with whatever setup you go with. (Tried doing this a few years back without the vpn, they sent me some very upset texts.)

Lol your phones charge controller is much smarter than you. Let it regulate the charge. "100%" isn't that anymore.

So wholesome. Now you've gone and got me all emotional, SatansMaggotyCumFart
