Put your SSD into this case and enjoy proper CD/DVD/BluRay emulation, multiple VHDs and much more.

EDIT: Not an ad, @Okus@lemmy.dbzer0.com . Just the only case that has all these features. And it's no affiliate link, so I don't even get anything if somebody clicks on it.

What makes you think there's no way of updating the firmware? Also, they could be made so that there's a simple API (like a serial device exposed via USB) and apps for Win/macOS/Linux to update the label. But I guess the demand was never there.

Same here. Like “Cold! Look elsewhere…” 🤣

It’s a shame these never took off. I’d love for my various USB drives to have displays that show their labels and maybe even contents.

Money. It's much better if you can sell the same thing over and over again.

Apart from all the online tools there are also offline website builders like blocs (macOS/iPad - but there are similar tools for Windows as well) that let you design your website and will spit out the files you then just need to upload to any provider of your liking. It's basically a WYSIWYG static site generator.

Sounds like GitHub Pages.

Apart from that, I like GRAV for small website projects. It works completely without a database (or in other words: it uses the filesystem as the database that it basically is) and backups/restores are simple copying everything to the right place.

What's the big selling point compared to ranger, nnn, yazi or broot?

Rather use dd_rescue as it’ll retry if it encounters any reading issue.

Maybe they delete enough code to be able to give us a third “theme”.

YaCy?

There’s also another SearX-like one called websurfx - albeit still in its early days.
