Yes but I was emphasizing the parallels to the USB c problem.
In USBC if you use a 200 watt cable that has 200 watts going through it and then extend it with a 15 watt USB c cable, the 15 watt cable will over heat.
If you plug a 30 amp load into a 30 amp cable and then extend it with a 15 amp extension cord, you will get overheating on the 15 amp extension.
The issue of chaining extension cords is that you can physically plug a 10 amp extension cord into a 30 amp cord. If you don’t know what amps the device will pull, the 10 amp cord can overheat.
It’s an almost identical problem to USB c.
Come on man, everything, and mean everything you said is wrong.
Budget tape backup?
No, you can’t even begin to compare drives to tape. They’re completely different use cases. A hard drive can contain a backup but it’s not physically robust to be unplugged, rotated off site , and put into long term storage like tape. You might as well say a Honda Accord is a budget Semi tractor trailer.
Then you specifically called out personal downloads of anime as a bad use case. That’s absolutely wrong in all cases.
It is absurd to imply that everyone else except for you is less knowledgeable and using a niche case except you.
Because everything he said was wrong?
The fundamental physics of a spinning disc mean that these aren’t a good solution for rapid seeking of specific sectors to read and write and so forth.
It’s no ssd but is no slower than any other 12TB drive. It’s not shingled but HAMR. The sectors are closer together so it has even better seeking speed than a regular 12TB drive.
Not a great solution for all the anime you totally legally obtained on Yahoo.
???
It’s absolutely perfect for that. Even if it was shingled tech, that only slows write speeds. Unless you are editing your own video, write seek times are irrelevant. For media playback use only consistent read speed matters. Not even read seek matters except in extreme conditions like comparing tape seek to drive seek. You cannot measure 10 ms difference between clicking a video and it starting to play because of all the other delays caused by media streaming over a network.
But that’s not even relevant because these have faster read seeking than older drives because sectors are closer together.
They always planned to be for profit. It wasn’t a taste of MS money, it was the plan to sell out from the beginning. Musk got mad because they didn’t sell out to him for pennies.
"OpenAI wrote in the blog that the company and Musk both agreed that a for-profit was the next step for the startup in the fall of 2017. But when Musk failed to win majority equity, OpenAI accused him of walking away and saying the company would “fail.” "
It seems like besides Linux itself, most successful open source projects go for profit. When users don’t like the changes, they fork and keep going.
Like MySQL going for profit with a sell out to Oracle and MariaDB becoming the most popular fork of MySQL.
And fuck OpenAI especially for pretending that wasn’t the case all along
I’m not sure they were ever pretending. I saw another Lemmy post about the Musk-OpenAI email exchanges from 8 years ago.
They seemed very open that the long term plan was to become a for profit company. They said they weren’t ready yet and rejected Elon’s demand to make him majority owner and merge with Tesla.
Isn’t it interesting how they immediately arrested him on a tip and are now building a case. Whereas with Trump, they did nothing for 4 years because, “Procedure dictates we had to build a case before arrest.”
As the article says, the problem was the logic. They had thousands of hours of model checking.
Zuck is a huge open weights proponent.
No he isn’t. It’s a position he holds for the moment to harm competitors. It allows him to take the work of others for his own profit.
The moment his engineers create a competitive improvement, it will be proprietary.
Downside to mini PC is very limited storage room in mini PCs for local Plex content. They typically have 1-2 Nvme slots. You can get a 12TB 3.5" for the price of one 4tb.
As the owner of various cats over 50 years it does nothing to adult cats. It will hurt an adult cat because their weight is too much for the skin to hold. As a kid I tried it many times because I heard the myth and it only made my cat more angry.
I don’t believe kittens are affected other than being physically unable to do anything. Sort of like if you were put in a half-Nelson hold. You wouldn’t be catatonic, just unable to fight back.
Did you read the article you linked?
"More recent research shows that dopamine has less to do with the experience of pleasure and more to do with anticipating or craving something. "
“Create checks and balances for time spent in unhealthy behavior loops (e.g., social media scrolling, online shopping, online gambling).”
I didn’t claim it was pleasure but addiction like gambling.
One difference I see is that unlike before, the older generations are also caught in the attention shortening dopamine trap.
It used to be parents complaining about kids watching TV while reading the newspaper. Now adults are watching 3 minute YouTube videos just like children.

All this talk of entitlement forgets that I paid for my fucking OS.
That doesn’t mean you get patches for the rest of your life. Again you are using a phone that doesn’t give you 10 years of support and you are acting like MS is evil for not giving you more.
Also, finally, if Microsoft really cared about their OS and licensing … so the massgrave exploit would stop working.
MS is evil because they don’t do more to stop piracy? Wtf?
Demand that a Linux developer must add a feature that you personally want and yes you are entitled. “I don’t want to upgrade Mint! Patch the old kernel. I demand it!”
MS is selling a security patch. Buy it or don’t.
Linux is available for free. Install it or don’t.
You don’t have a right to demand either way. It’s especially hypocritical given you spend more time on a phone that doesn’t give you 10 years of support like Windows 10 did.
You expect them to work for you for free? What kind of entitled bullshit is that?
Not paying for the 10 security updates doesn’t hurt MS. They don’t make money from their consumer OS. The money is from Office, Cloud, and corporate contracts. It only leaves your PC open. You don’t have the time to install Linux today but you will make the time to attempt to recover your Windows PC from ransomware because you left it unpatched.
Install Linux today. Stop making excuses.
If you have that lying around, you can still beat a pi 5 by only buying an i5 motherboard instead of an entire pc. As to handling the bloat, it’s faster.
