Any poor quality connector can affect a sector scan and drive performance. Doesn’t matter if it’s connected to a corroded usb port or a bent internal sata, at the end of the day if you’re getting disk errors it’s best to measure using two methodologies/data pathways.
You might consider the Mackie Crx Cubes. They use bmr drivers that allow a wider Soundstage without needing as much physical space and can be had at a pretty reasonable price. Bass is lacking though, so allocate funding for a small woofer if you want the absolute best experience.
Not sure what made you assume I was an early adopter. Generally, after the pixel 1, I waited until the first few months passed just to get the discount they always had. You seem to make a ton of assumptions to pave way for some fine cognitive dissonance as they never “sorted out the stuff” in those phone models and if you bothered to research it instead of using your own experience as a defacto account I think you’d see that.
Glad you had a decent experience. That was not the case for me and many documented others. The bluetooth issues are particularly well known and plagued the whole series from 1-4, if you didn’t use Bluetooth much it probably didn’t phase you but holy shit it sucked. As far as nexsus devices go they were a crapshoot. My nexus 6p crashed week 3 and bricked into a boot loop. Google replaced it only for the replacement to do the same damn thing a month later. They had massive QC issues which meant you either got a fine phone or a shit one and a lot of people fell towards the latter.
The newer ones are nice, but as an owner of the first 4 because I need unbloated OSes, they were a complete joke in hardware support and failures. Can’t count the number of times I’ve lost data to my pixel 1 randomly resetting, had bluetooth issues with 1-4, and had a smattering of other nonsense issues with everything up to the 6. Eventually I gave up and hopped over to iOS.
If you specify "against stealing except food in times of starvation or hunger " it replies “utilitarian” instead. Just an FYI.
So wholesome. Now you’ve gone and got me all emotional, SatansMaggotyCumFart
This comment right here officer. (Fwiw, I up voted)
Careful doing just this. They actually track http request headers and look for desktop signifiers, so your best bet is to use a VPN in tandem with whatever setup you go with. (Tried doing this a few years back without the vpn, they sent me some very upset texts.)
Most UPS systems of quality will come with software capabilities. You can leverage this and just use a daemon to check the charge status every minute or so. If it’s ever off AC or reporting charge levels lowering, you can toss the system into a low power profile. This might accomplish what you’re trying to do.
I’m also not sure where they got their idea that cloud is cheaper from. On prem has always been cheaper, I’ve had to walk through fire and flames to get my company to approve cloud hosting as we simply do not have the capacity to be our own mail host. Goodluck explaining tech debt to upper management though, it’s like they’re allergic to the idea of understanding it.
I’d say I’m optimistic, hopeful, and we’ll intentioned but it’s been many a year since I’ve felt “nice”. Something shifted in society during the Covid era and I just feel awful going out of my way for most people these days. Very much in the “every person for themselves” category.
The antitrust machine hasn’t had its scheduled maintenance for a few generations. It’s gonna take a little while to spin up.
Indubitably.
Yeah! The practice is called drive shucking (kinda like Oysters) and you just need to be considerate of the limitations. The drives often end up cheaper, but lose warranty support once they’re shucked. They’ll also occasionally be slower than a normal drive or have an odd connector, but that is rare since it’s usually cheaper to go with something ‘off the shelf’. If you Google it though you should usually be able to find the handful of drive SKUs they’ll use in whatever external you’re planning to shuck.
Heck yeah Sirius!
It’s the same reason many unenforced laws exist. It’s an entrance point. As the saying goes, they didn’t get capone on his gang activity.
We do not break userspace in this household young man.
Nothing is permanent. China started using untold amounts of cfls again and polar ice melts as well as human mining have released massive amounts of ozone destructive methane. There was good evidence of the damage slowing and reversing for a time, but we just kind of stopped caring around the time we had that massive global “climate change isn’t real” psy-op.
