  • Anecdata, but SSDs will last longer than you want to use them in terms of write endurance.

    My NAS OS SSDs are 500gb hynix drives from about 8 years ago, and they're pushing 150 TBW.

    150TB is a LOT of write cycles on a small drive, and they're still reporting 94% endurance remaining.

    The controller will die or I'll upgrade well before that breaks at the rate it's going.

    Also keep in mind that you can read flash all you want and that doesn't wear anything (unlike a HDD, amusingly), so for most consumer use cases, they'll load the drive up with their data, and then only slowly modify or add to it, but have lots and lots of read access.

  • HDDs will draw around 4W idle each, 8W in total

    Whether your drives are idle is also a very use-case specific thing and I wouldn't spend any time trying to generalize based on that math as a "oh this is how it works for everyone".

    In my case, I've got 5 drives all spun up at all times because of torrrent clients, Jellyfin users, and just general media acquisition and public content serving.

    This thing would dramatically reduce my power footprint and save me giant buckets of money over it's lifespan while being smaller/faster IO performance/lower noise.

    (My current nas sucks down about 120-140w 24/7, so....)

  • Post images you like and/or find meaningful to you.

    Took a good picture? Post it.

    Took a bad picture, but it's of your cat? Post it anyway.

  • What exactly do you need from a Discord replacement?

    There's a LOT of options, with varying features so if you don't need certain things it gets a lot easier to suggest what might work.

  • Vance was groomed to lead this movement

    If you want some fun tin-foil conspiracy thing, there's one I heard that I both find entirely plausible AND actually believe.

    Basically, when (not an if) Trump dies or is otherwise removed, Vance will come out as the 'We've had a hard time, what with our last president being a batshit insane rot brained moron. I'm going to undo the worst of his decisions, and get MAGA back on Track'.

    And presto, we now have moved to the competent dear leader part of this whole play, and everyone from creepy neocons to the bleeding heart-ist liberals will applaud and say what a lovely thing this is, and all this change is good!

    Except it's the same shit, just sane washed, because it's not hard to be LESS insane than the Tangerine.

  • Americans tend to buy the most car they think they can afford.

    Hell, Americans buy the most car they can finagle a loan for, independent of if they can or can't actually afford it.

    It wouldn't be surprising to find that a good portion of Tesla buyers are stuck in the trap where they owe so much on it that there's no way they could afford the hit to replace it, because they can barely make their payments now.

  • For real: I'm using a 38" ultra wide, and if you had told child me that a 38" monitor would be the smallest display in the house I'd have told you that you're full of shit.

  • She works at Google, not Yandex.

    Though I'm sure Google could manage something equally mysterious.

  • Yeah it's more hilarious: he's not hooking up with anyone, this is pure turkey baster going on.

  • Not that I disagree, but putting it in the hands of a foundation that's beholden to corporate money isn't exactly going to be the solution to "eventually messing up stuff".

  • Even if he did, how could you tell the difference between the holes dementia has made and the holes a worm would make?

  • You hope, anyways. Given how shit's going, I'd be entirely unsurprised if someone said that and actually meant it.

  • While that's true, "I'm sorry that you got upset at what I did" is in no way actually an apology or an admission that they might have been wrong, so.....

  • Please, this is Windows. That's been sitting in the source code since 1993, but nobody at Microsoft knows why or how to remove it, so they just tell you to not touch the folder.

  • Well, I can kinda answer that: I've got a launch PS4 controller that I mostly use wired on my PC and it's fine.

    If I use it wirelessly, it'll still get about 5-6 hours, which basically means after 13 years it's still right on spec for what it should be able to do.

    Not really something that's probably worth worrying about unless you've got some absolutely shitty batteries.

    (Hell, I've still got some PS3 controllers that'll do 3-4 hours, and they're freaking ancient at this point.)

  • At least: I'm probably at 5x what the guns cost in training, ammo, gear, range fees, gas to and from the range (live in a city, so most local ranges don't exactly let you shoot 5.56) and so on.

    Not the cheapest hobby if you're planning on actually serious about being able to use your guns if something makes that necessary.

  • I'm going go assume from your instance you're not American, but the big flaw in your logic is if you come after me with a pipe, I'm absolutely within my rights to put holes into you until you stop moving.

    Vigalante justice is going to get the people who think they're "doing a good thing" killed, and with zero consequences to the pedos who shoot them.

    Perhaps a more adult, informed, nuanced take is of use here?

  • You have to go at it the other way, now:

    As someone of modest means, I fully support and endorse giving billoinaires more money. After all, if they don't have money, then what will trickle down to me?

    Wait no that's still not funny at all.
