That’s because the new one is just the existing web app that loads inside an Edge instance so they were basically starting from scratch. I realized that when I discovered I couldn’t open the new version on my laptop that I had uninstalled Edge from.

Oh, and MS is killing the old version. Joy.

Absolutely love the name.

I doubt think these are even SATA, anyway. The last WD 2.5" external drive I opened up had its micro USB 3.x connector attached directly to the PCB, right where you’d expect an actual disk controller interface to be.

Second the NUC suggestion. I’ve got a 10th gen i7 model that I use primarily as a media server. It draws <6W at idle so it runs 24/7 and barely makes a blip on my electricity bill. It’s been rebooted exactly twice so far this year after switching from Windows 10 to Arch (BTW), once after a planned upgrade and a second time unexpectedly when my cheap UPS’s battery died. It works fine with the two docking stations I’ve tried and two different USB-C displays. I think my model might need a small adapter to support a third monitor but I’m not sure that’s the case with newer generations, though you may have to look beyond the Intel-branded hardware if you do want a more recent edition since they sold the brand to ASUS.

This is the way.

IDK man, all the way? I don’t think I’m good enough to have actual impostor syndrome like real developers.

Not bad for the switch but seems a little high for shoes.

Link appears to be dead now. What was the price?

You make a good point.

That’s a good idea. Yeah, the trick I discovered in getting them off the mounting bracket without the chrome plating peeling is to grab each end of the bracket with vice grips and/or pliers (after you unscrew it from the drive) and just bend it down and away from the magnet. They usually come off in one piece that way, too.

Thought it was just me. Used to have at least twice this many in my old office:

Fuck that guy.

Which pins go to the motherboard other than power/reset? Is that USB connector just passing through the keyboard and mouse signals?

Maybe, but power consumption can get steep with some server boards/chassis which might tip the balance over time.

Don’t they still make the tall NUC with the 2.5" SATA bay?

Oh that’s right, I always forget my phone can also make phone calls.

I know up to like 2^16 or maybe 2^17 while sufficiently caffeinated. Memorizing up to, or beyond, 2^23 is nerd award worthy.

Must be a technical term.
