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.

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

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

Everything posted on Lemmy is public though.

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

Because that would take a long time if you deleted a large file in another partition or drive. You could also end up not having enough space to move the file to trash and if the trash directory is on an SSD, it would add a lot of unnecessary wear to it.

Connecting the clip backwards will likely kill the flash chip. As long as it didn’t kill anything else, you can just replace the chip and flash a new image to it.

AMD has the Platform Security Processor. While it supposedly doesn’t have network access, it’s still a block box with full access to all memory.

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

Be absolutely sure that you get the source and destination drives correct. If you get them backwards, it will nuke your data. There is no confirmations, dd will start as soon as you press enter.

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.

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.

To add it to Firefox search, open about:config and add a boolean value browser.urlbar.update2.engineAliasRefresh set to true. This will allow you to manually add search engines. Then open the search settings and click add. Set the URL to https://www.google.com/search?udm=14&q=%s, give it a name and click “Add Engine”.

Someone got Linux to run on an Intel 4004. It does take over a week to boot though. As long as you can connect a sufficient amount of memory to a CPU, it can boot Linux. If the CPU doesn’t support Linux, it can emulate a CPU that does.

I wonder how many issues rewriting everything in another language will create?

That’s why you disable their account before telling them they’re fired.

In Thunderbird you can move the emails to a local folder and they will be fully downloaded.
