It maxes at 4TB, same as my tablet, put the games and programs on the 2TB SSD and drop all the media on the 2TB SD, Kodi picks up the external media fine and moving all my music and videos to the card keeps the internal down.

I do need to dump a lot of stuff to put something new on, pretty much the largest I keep installed is No Man’s Sky, keep wanting to replay BG3 but haven’t because it is over 150 GB all on its own.

Seems the Linux native stuff takes a LOT less space, unless it’s an AppImage or one of those crappy Flatpaks, but even with Linux increasing in popularity not a lot of devs bother with adding a port since “Just run it through Proton” is the accepted answer now.

It still works well enough still from me helping my kid set up theirs, though I do hope they update it again, maybe with a 2280 slot for a larger storage capacity as the 2TB max of a 2230 even when you upgrade it is kinda meh for PC games that can easily break 100GB.

Meanwhile the flipping Deck is still out of stock.

They want all of your data in the cloud so they own it.

They want all their crap on your device, so you pay for it.

Oh, it’s not trusting them to see them relatively better.

Too late, they’re all in on the derp, as well.

I mean how many times is Chat Control going to come up? It’s their own KOSA, some “protect the children” lie by a bunch of Epstein Class pedos who want to track and profile everything about everyone.

They’re always “about to” but never seem to do it.

If one “side” fixed anything they would not only lose the backing of their corporate sponsors, they wouldn’t be able to point to the problem anymore and say they’ll fix it to round up some votes before promptly going back to ignoring or supporting what they campaigned on stopping.

I don’t plan on forgiving Nvidia or Micron or anyone else who sold us out to get in on the debt transfer scam that is propping up the US economy, the bubble will burst, and I hope they all go down in flames with it.

China makes great stuff, we just don’t see it here often, the cheap junk with “Made in China” stamped on it is disposable garbage or scam knock-offs of a better product from somewhere else.

I mean, that could have worked out, but instead they picked a reality TV star whose producers had to redecorate for the show because everything Trump builds looks gaudy and cheap and only knows how to make money by laundering theft and scams through failing businesses before writing them off and running.

Honestly?

I trust China more than I trust the US.

See, that right there.

I used to have a massive F-550, but it was so beat up and had the connections to make use of that towing capacity.

Most of these trucks have never been off the pavement and never hauled more than groceries.

Also, an F-250 now is the size of my F-550 in the 90s.

Okay, how does this explain the Boomers and up who seem to only be capable of using Facebook?

Like, if it’s about adaptation, they had email and SMS long before Meta started their “clean” version of MySpace that has gotten so much worse than what it replaced.

I’m stuck with a yearly Christmas card from a lot of older relatives because they can’t manage to step back an use services they did use before the big tech algorithmic fuckery took over.

All is only the ones they consider to be people.

It evolved, for a while, but is swiftly regressing past where it was at the founding of this nation.

Distros from that joke stuff era are more user friendly than Windows 11.

Oh my god!

They killed Jeeves!

/me snorts at the Montey Python reference.

Sadly, I think we all expect the MAGA Inquisition, though.

You’ve seen what a well oiled machine legislation is, no?

The problem with that is the corporations love to save a penny or two on hardware, no matter how much worse it makes the product, specifying one seems like a good way to make them just use that even if there is something better.

The one they were talking about months ago was specific, not really a fan of C, it’s a much more fragile connection than A. The extra bandwidth isn’t worth how often they fail compared to other connectors.
