I was referring to drives like the Seagate 16TB HDD Exos X16. That said there are MDD drives that are apparently cheaper but I haven’t heard of them before.

I wasn’t sure about that considering HAMR and HDMR drives are being developed like Seagate’s Mozaic 3+ which has 30TB.

My stake is really that 30 TB mark. That should be enough to consolidate all my storage conveniently in one spot. I don’t need incredibly fast transfer speeds so I think an HDD would do fine.

In general, technology gets cheaper for better products over time. Short term that’s not always true, but the longer timescales you look, the better is it for consumers.

Yeah that’s why I linked the graph above. I asked here because I thought someone might have looked into this before and have a better insight on it. Maybe they’ve read about foretasted chip shortages or some kind of technological improvement with manufacturing? I am not sure. It’s something I only sporadically see articles about.

A year or two is a long time, and probably worth waiting.

If the price of a HDD on sale this year is equal to the average price of the same tier of HDD two or three years from now I’d probably just pull the trigger now.

Most of their questions relate to network security

Does anyone have recommendations for educational material that is targeted at beginners who simply want to learn more and aren’t planning a career?

There have been a few times acquaintances have asked me what is available for a good introduction and general overview of large concepts but I’ve never had a solid answer. All I did was force myself to read books that yo-yoed above and below my knowledge level. Considering it’s kind of a passing interest that they won’t invest large amounts of time into it would probably be best if it wasn’t overly drawn out but at the same time covered enough to give them a general idea of key concepts and buzzwords they might hear. It might help if it came off as somewhat engaging so it sticks with them.

ThinkPad x200s. I recently did the USB C charging mod and upgraded to WiFi 6E. I’ve had Libreboot installed for a while now.

I do wish I could have more than 8GB of RAM though.

I think so. Installing Linux was a hurdle for a lot of people but having it by default on the Steam Deck was a bit of a game changer. Installing Windows on it versus figuring out how to use something Lutris probably takes a similar amount of effort for average casual user.

I feel like it also helps that Windows isn’t very controller friendly, in my experience, and an increasing amount of people are looking for that for couch gaming and viewing media.

Mostly powering off my system when I shouldn’t have. I believe one time I began the process to format a drive I didn’t mean to and when I saw the process had started I pushed the power button and just made things worse. The other times were when I was updating.

This all happened when I first started using Linux.

Thanks for the links. I’ll check them out

Do you know of any articles that talk about the patent aspect? This is the first I’m hearing of it and I’d be interested to learn more.

Get free books from Gutenberg/Libgen/IRC/Usenet.

I think Anna’s Archive is still pretty popular as well

Some Kindles can be modded to use KO Reader as well.

MobileRead is my place to go for guides on how to jailbreak kindles for those interested. I’d link to the exact tutorial thread but I’m on mobile and can’t seem to find it.

What about the font do you dislike?

And I get what you are saying. I’m not too sure.

I asked a similar question a month ago and it seems like reports go everywhere. I guess it makes sense when instances have different rules and communities might as well

Just wanted to shout out https://osgameclones.com/. It has a pretty decent list of them and source ports.

Doesn’t that require a computer running MacOS to run?

TransMac. It’s a tool to create MacOS install discs and USBs. It works off of a limited time free trial then you are supposed to pay.

It works great but I’d prefer something FOSS.

• the comma button shows a pop up when long pressing for options like ”voice input, undo, redo, one handed mode, access settings…". These can be customised on the keyboard’s settings.

Can’t the top row give you the same options with the > button?

Does anyone know how to remove the number and comma button in the bottom left corner?

It’s kind of redundant with how I want to set things up
