I think Halo Infinite qualifies, I played the multiplayer waaay back when it released so things may have drastically changed (haven't heard of it being the case);it didn't / doesn't do anything that no other game does, nor did / does it do anything particularly well nor better than its competitors (including every Halo from Bungie).
I did watch a walkthrough of the campaign, and it doesn't look particularly engaging either.
Removable storage isn't NAS, it's just good ol' storage, but a valid backup option nonetheless.Removable HDDs and SSDs tend to be less reliable than their internal counterparts, I don't know to what degree, but if you make backups reasonably frequently, your OS will PROBABLY detect failures and point them out.
If you have extremely important data (like $9B worth of Bitcoin or something) you would need:
more than one off-site backup;
to know how to properly encrypt them and keep them safe;
a more reliable source of advice than some shmuck on Lemmy.
Speaking of encryption: do NOT store unencrypted sensitive data on removable storage.Things like .kdbx files from KeePass should be fine, the application takes care of encryption for you, otherwise you should look for ways to encrypt each file or the storage device itself.
I personally have one 2TB external HDD and a RAID0 pair of 1TB HDDs, which I don't use exclusively as backup, and if an airplane crashes on my house then gg bb; cloud storage solutions are way more reliable than handling storage yourself, but then you'd be entrusting third parties with your stuff.
NAS stands for "Network Attached Storage", basically a computer whose sole purpose is storing and serving files in your home.
RAID stands for "Reduntant Array of Inexpensive Disks", and is broadly a way to merge multiple disks into one.RAID 0 means that files are evenly distributed on all disks, which improves IO speed and extends a file system (≈ a partition) 's capacity, but it's useless against disk failure;RAID 1(mirroring) means that all disks have the same data as a sort of real-time backup, and as long as one disk remains functional, all the other disks can fail without the data becoming inaccessible;other RAID levels use clever math to offer a mix of the first two, spreading files among disks (like RAID 0) but still tolerating failures of a small number of disks (like RAID 1 but way less redundant).
Wikipedia has a less abridged explaination on its RAID page.
But generally they already do hate Linux, we're talking about the demographic that considers webp a bad image format because some Windows default applications don't support it while having no idea what the format is like
Just to be clear: while I've seen ads in one form or another in every (non-LTSC) installation of Windows 10 and 11 I've ever made, I'm not claiming that Windows 11 actually shows unskippable ads (in video format) when using the start menu yet, that was a hyperbole.
Have you had severe fuckups yearly with Windows, or Linux?
I've had bi-yearly severe fuckups with Windows and have yearly (probably more) severe fuckups with Arch;the fix to the latter is a thumb drive away, the fix to the former is an ancient ritual which the FBI is still investigating me for.
