I still wonder, what’s stopping vendors from producing “chonk store” devices. Slow, but reliable bulk storage SSDs.
Just in terms of physical space, you could easily fit 200 micro SD cards in a 2.5" drive, have everything replicated five times and end up with a reasonably reliable device (extremely simplified, I know).
I just want something for luke-warm storage that didn’t require a datacenter and/or 500W continuous power draw.
What if, that might overwhelm you, this doesn’t answer the question at all?
You’re simply pushing the question half a millimeter to the side. Nothing more.
That’s what I’m asking myself with pretty much any “sexy” decoration.
Why put a poster of a nude girl in your locker, break room, bedroom, whatever? The only explanation I can find is performative display of (hetero) masculinity.
Because it’s not using hot steam, but vapor, it’s more like sweating.
The heat exchangers are sprayed with misted water, which evaporates and takes away heat. But the resulting vapor is still only slightly above ambient temperature and can’t be reasonably condensated.
And you really think “the elites” are the ones buying and selling here?
Yes, they have a lot of wealth in stocks, but usually they simply own a large chunk of their (or their parents) company and the rest is managed by a fund manager. And if you have millions or billions, you don’t need to think quarter to quarter.
What happened to librem anyway? They used to be all the rage, now it’s nothing.
One part is a reverse game of chicken, buy the dippest dip to realize most profit from less dippy dip buyers.
The other part is the assumption that this means the tariffs will never actually come or at least in a much relaxed form.
It’s not gatekeeping, it’s a medical definition.
What’s so hard to understand about that?
You’re not OCD because you sorted Skittles by color once either.
But trauma, as I understand it, is more like a broken bone
That’s a medical trauma, yes. But the situation described here is a light bruise at best.
Yes, these terms encompass a range of severities, but at some point you have to say “No, Terry, a broken nail is not a trauma, and you can’t go to the emergency room because of it”.
People love the feeling of being super empathetic if they support this language. And others love the feeling of self victimization.
And the actual victims don’t get the attention they need, because Terry cries about having made a bad joke yesterday.
Of course there is. As I wrote above: if everything is a trauma, nothing is.
You can’t just expand the meaning of a well defined word just because you like the vibe of it applying to the victim group of the day.
… And that in turn means the term is practically meaningless - as you can see in the example above.
If everything is a trauma, nothing is.
Not every bad experience is traumatic. Abusing that word devalues the actually traumatizing experiences. Being an outsider in school and being raped by your dad are categorically extremely different experiences. Lumping them into “traumatic” is just not helpful.
Pff, I carve my own CPUs from compacted sand, like real men.
What is the battery situation like?
The older, cheaper devices are obviously, well, older and thus the battery degraded a bit. Linux isn’t exactly optimized for these things either. I would expect less than great battery life.
Hey, that’s not fair! Most of them were not killed, but only mutilated too much to be ableish-bodied enough for the russian army!
(Serious note: this is the casuality number, that includes deaths, but also soldiers with wounds that put them out of service, like lost legs)
One might call me apologetic, but I personally feel like paying taxes is not exactly holocausty.
Then again, I don’t know any rich people, so maybe I’m just biased.
Trump used to be rather transactional, though.
It’s an evil logic, but there was an internal logic behind what he did in his first term. He bullied you into submission, and agreed to a deal if he thought it benefits him (him, not the USA).
Now, he’s just on full autodestruct. There’s zero logic behind it. Not even chaotic franticness like before, just erratic randomness.
Your comments strengthen my conviction that you read a philosophy book and now try to emulate what you think smart people sound like.
I see. We’re at full blown ad hominem and removed even the pretense of argumentative value.
That’s of course a sure sign of maturity.
Maybe all the juniors around you suck, because the good ones don’t need to waste their time with arrogant, abrasive coworkers.
It’s not inherent in terms of “more store=more fast”.
You could absolutely take older, more established production nodes to produce higher quality, longer lasting flash storage. The limitation hardly ever is space, but heat. So putting that kind of flash storage, with intentionally slowed down controllers, into regular 2.5 or even 3.5" form factors should be possible.
Cost could be an issue because the market isn’t seen as very large.
