I'm pretty sure that's only a theory and not something that's ever actually been confirmed. That said people on /r/datahoarder have raved about those drives for 5+ years at this point, and so far all 6 of my drives have been going strong after 6 years of constant abuse.

What standby mode does your laptop use? Classic S3 standby, or S0 standby like most modern laptops are forced into?

Just know that higher RPM doesn't necessarily mean higher noise. In my experience Helium filled drives can be pretty quiet, and basically all really high capacity drives are helium filled.

I have an arm of shucked WD drives and while I can hear them from time to time, they're not bad. Also your case makes a huge difference. Make sure the drives are on rubber isolators, and what they're mounted on can't vibrate to make any noise. The only noise I hear from these drives is when they first spin up after being idled.

Is 5640 RPM acceptable? WD reds are all about 5400rpm and are basically the gold standard for NAS HDDs.

You can shuck them out of WD easy store drives sold at best buy. They're white label drives from WD, but they're all based on the red/red pro drives.

Collections is exactly what I'd love to see added to lemmy. Especially if the collections has the ability to filter out posts cross posed to different communities.

Apple doesn't have a monopoly though, there's still Android. And outside of the US Android is more popular than iOS.

Are there any other virtual stores on the console? There's obviously physical store fronts, but I'm pretty sure there's only the one digitally on console.

Tesla: people really like that you can just order a car online and not have to deal with slimey sales tactics. What can we do to fuck even that up too?

It's not like the frame rate was bad though. Like the video was updating, it was just the scrolling that was jumping. It made 0 science to me how just the scrolling was lagging but not the frame rate. Grated 60fps on a 4090 is abysmal, and this was only a month or two ago.

Is scrolling still janky? I have a 5800x 3D and a 4090 and I’ll get about 60 fps in a fresh city, but scrolling was like 5 fps. The game was still updating, but the scrolling was broken. And the dragging to build streets was janky too.

I returned the game after that. It made me nauseous trying to do just about anything.

Did you expect a doorbell with a camera built into it to not be "smart"?

 

Is anyone aware of any switches (or media converters) with SFP+ ports capable of negotiating 2.5Gbit speeds that don't cost an arm and a leg?

I have the Google Fiber 2 gig plan and I'd like to get rid of the fiber box since they've been extremely unreliable and our 4th one has just died. Unfortunately in order to get the full speeds I need something that can take a 2.5 gig SFP+ connection. 10 gig will not work, and 1 gig obviously only gets me half the speed.

I've found a few Unifi compatible switches, but they're between $600 and $900 which is just insane for all we need.

Media converter wise everything I've found is 2.5gig on the rj45 side and 10 gig only on the SFP.

Something has to exist out there right? It can't only be Google who are the freaks using 2.5 gig SFP modules.
