Eskating cyclist, gamer and enjoyer of anime. Probably an artist. Also I code sometimes, pretty much just to mod titanfall 2 tho.

Introverted, yet I enjoy discussion to a fault.

  • No, Samsung Isn’t Phasing Out of the Consumer SSD Business as the Korean Giant Denies Ongoing Rumors

    Jump

  • So was and did Crucial.

    There is so much money to be made in AI right now, that it can make sense to ditch an entire perfectly profitable sector because AI companies simply have that much more investor funds to swing around.

  • THIS is a real test of how old you are. If you score 20 your future is short

  • Good.

    But I'm not gonna take their word for it. I'll be happy if sata ssds continue to be available, but I'm also not gonna be suprised if this is a straight up lie.

  • Snowflakes on a bridge

  • Helsinki?

    Edit: No. At least not the bridge I was thinking of.

  • Samsung to halt SATA SSD production, leaker warns of up to 18 months of SSD price pressure, worse than Micron ending consumer RAM

    Jump

  • Did you miss the part where I wrote three additional paragraphs after the first?

    The only reason I mention hard-drives, is to make the point SATA will continue to stick around, to be used in laptops desktops, and especially network storage.

    Plenty of people are gonna want to plug in a SATA SSD into that "slot".

  • Samsung to halt SATA SSD production, leaker warns of up to 18 months of SSD price pressure, worse than Micron ending consumer RAM

    Jump

  • No they're not. SATA isn't going anywhere. Hard drives are still the only option for truly massive amounts of affordable storage, and they won't be fitting into the M.2 form-factor anytime soon.

    If you want the middle ground, fast but not as expensive as NVME, SATA SSDs make perfect sense. Put em in raid and you can get speed, too. Not just size.

    Not to mention that plenty of still perfectly usable motherboards and laptops still only have the one M.2 slot, so if you want more than one drive, any additional ones have to be SATA.

    This WILL reduce supply, which WILL increase prices. For M.2 drives too, because people who could have gone straight for SATA, now have to buy M.2 and put it in an adapter.

  • Fucking great.

    Nevermind that if you want a lot of storage in a ITX machine 2.5" sata drives is the only way to go. I've been wanting a second EVO 870 but the price is almost triple what I paid for the first one.

    THE HORROR (by Kame)

  • What's the advantages/disadvantages to hosting Nextcloud with Docker vs the Package Center on a Synology?

    Jump

  • With nextcloud in particular, nextcloud is not just nextcloud.

    It's a bunch of additional optional services that may or may not work as-is on Synology. And the Synology package won't come with all of them.

    With docker, adding (or removing) additional services, such as Nextcloud Office, is comparatively simple.

  • Installed Linux for the fist time in Feb, I've now started saving ISO's

    Jump

  • I use this one professionally, yet to come across a PC that wouldn't boot from it.

    And yeah, you won't benefit unless the PC also has both fast ports and fast storage.

    But half of the time I'm using it to move files from a customers old PC to their new one, and more aften than not, even the old one has at least one quick usb C port.

  • Installed Linux for the fist time in Feb, I've now started saving ISO's

    Jump

  • Sure.

    But that's limited to SATA 3 speeds. A "mere" 600 MB/s. Not to mention SATA SSDs often can't sustain their theoretical maximums.

    USB3.2x2 can do 2500 MB/s, and with heatsinks on an NVME drive you can actually reach and sustain that transfer speed.

    When you're moving more than 500 gigs of something, or if you move ISO sized things often, it's really nice.

    When I occasionally have to write an ISO to usb for macOS or when ventoy for some reason wont work, I get annoyed at how I actually have to wait a bit, even though my thumbdrives aren't slow.

    They're just not NVME with a heatsink fast. I've gotten used to moving ISOs around like they're text files.

  • Installed Linux for the fist time in Feb, I've now started saving ISO's

    Jump

  • True. But if you have an old one laying around, from a laptop, desktop or whatever, even a low end one will saturate usb while beating 2.5" hdds.

  • Installed Linux for the fist time in Feb, I've now started saving ISO's

    Jump

  • Or if you want to install an entire iso in less than a minute, one of these.

    I really like that one. I can move a terabyte in minutes, and unlike some other M.2 enclosures, this one is a heatsink sandwich, which enables sustained full-speed operation.

  • Baldur's Gate 3's Developers Announce Their Next Game - FullCleared

  • More Divinity.

    And apparently this time they are for the first time thinking it'll be good enough to not need a subtitle. This is going to be the Divinity game.

    I am so ready.

  • What are some lower size games that work well on linux handhelds?

    Jump

  • Not at random.

    But you can definitley find people looking to play via the community, but you won't have much luck just jumping into online.

    Game is still getting updates.

  • Partner thinks baby is fat, body shaming?!?

    Jump

  • That definitely looks fat.

    Normally, the middle should be the thinnest part of the body, with the soulders and hips being the widest. A healthy cat can squeeze through any gap their head can fit through, but your boy looks like that abdomen would stop him.

  • Partner thinks baby is fat, body shaming?!?

    Jump

  • AFAIK, a cat should seem a little skinny by human logic. A vet can tell you more about how to tell, like how you're supposed to be able to clearly feel the ribs.

    If your boy is visibly round, that's not muscle. A healthy cat is a straight line, or even slightly hourglass shaped.

    To be sure, ask a vet. Cats are individuals, so it can vary.
