~$2500USD/ea, for anyone else as curious as me

Out of curiosity, what’s wrong with medium? (Serious question)

Redwoods are so freakin’ cool.

That is all!

Fred joins the game and teleports to square 3,3. He has a red aura around him. Nobody’s quite sure what it does, but it probably isn’t good.

Great explanation. Yes - I’ve done this before! Built up a system with a RAID array but then realized I wanted a different boot drive. Didn’t really want to wait for dual 15Tb arrays to rebuild - and luckily for me, I didn’t have to! Because the metadata is saved on the discs themselves. If I had to guess (I could be wrong though) - I believe ‘sudo mdadm —scan —examine’ should probably bring up some info about the discs, or something similar to that command.

Is it a hardware raid or a software raid? If it’s software (not sure abt hardware), the discs themselves should have the array’s metadata on it, and you can just use mdraid & restart the array.

Yeah, what…? My shower uses ~2.5 gallons per minute, and at a cost of $2.55/thousand gallons where I live, that’s a total of ~$0.003 (a third of a cent) to turn it off for 30 seconds while I soap

Congrats! Looking wonderful :)

Good stuff, thank you for being proactive.

I do like that idea. I think Apollo (or one of the Reddit apps) had something that expanded the hit box on links to prevent that as well - that could potentially be useful, too.

I wouldn’t say to disable it - but if there was an option to toggle on/off somewhere, that would be awesome.

These failures don’t have to do with where they’re manufactured - it seems like this is some sort of firmware bug. NAND doesn’t really just choose to wipe itself at random. Actual NAND chip failures are few and far-between, so this is very likely much more than a hardware issue.

That said, I personally have done a lot of testing with WD-manufactured NAND, compared other companies’ NAND - and the WD NAND is pretty crap. I can’t really go into further details than that, though.

Windows on ARM is a steaming pile of garbage

I can’t see the SMART data. May be something in there that gives me more information. Seems odd to me that an SSD would just go bad out of the blue - but if you’ve not turned on the drive or laptop in a while, that could be why. But honestly, it may just be fine after a full drive write - couldn’t hurt to try zeroing it w/ dd.

SSDs don’t like being left unpowered for more than a few months. All flash storage, actually. If you take out an SSD and stick it on a shelf for a few years, it’s unlikely that it’ll lose data - but it’s absolutely technically possible, and many companies won’t cover such data losses by warranty after a specified period of time.

To be fair. Google does own nest. So the nest hub is also a google product. But yes… different products from different entities - not a great comparison

Wowza. That’s terrible. Thank goodness he hasn’t sold out; I love hoverzoom. If only my freaking work’s IT wouldn’t’ve banned extensions 🙃

Best of luck!!

It’s the same sort of awful people that do this shit: https://cycling.today/3-men-arrested-after-stringing-wire-across-bike-path/
