I do have radio but I’m lazy and haven’t gone to get a retransmitter. I find the act of burning CD’s kinda fun anyway, and they sound better.

I burned an audio CD just last week. My old Chevy truck has some mid 2000’S radio swapped into it and it doesnt have bluetooth or aux (well, has aux but it’s buried in the back of the dash). So I burn a CD once in a while to pop in and enjoy.

If Java edition “goes away” it will just become a standalone community distributed platform frozen in development time.

that terrible feeling when it’s 95% humidity out and the shower damp just follows you the entire fuggin day

nothing makes you appreciate the engineering of quality connectors like trying to use some cheap garbage ones and having half of them get bad crimps or not stay plugged in

But only if you have alternating current!

Couldn’t have happened to a nicer person

Its like car racing today- sometimes being the best isn’t being technically perfect, but just knowing how close you can push your machine to the brink of failure without actually disabling it.

Self solving problem then

They always look beyond the next quarter. Thata kind of their whole thing actually, finding the leaks risky things to insure so they never have to pay out.

Insurance can look at long term statistics and say if you don’t get the vaccine, your premiums will double.

Those adapters supply 5v power from the USB port, but SATA adapters capable of running hard drives usually have an external 12v power brick, as most full size hard drives need 12v for the drive motor.

Now, that said, I think a lot of 2.5inch hard drives do use 5 volt only and might boot up fine from an SSD SATA adapter. It’s worth trying your existing adapter as is and seeing if it starts and recognizes the drive.

All spaceframes have a limited service life due to the extreme thermal and structural load cycling they experience in earth orbit. The ISS was only meant to last 15 years and its only by happenstance, new modules, and good engineering protocols that its been stretched to 2030.
The alloys of aluminum that make up most of their structure always have a limited load cycle service life. It is never a question of if it will crack, it is when. Reusing ANY part of it for a space station meant to be serviced past 2030 is just a ticking time bomb. Russia is gonna kill their cosmonauts for sure.

Pretty easy, just resize in gimp to something ridiculous like 40000x40000 and save as png.

I hate to be a conspiracy theorist, but…

Barracuda is Seagate’s basic value line so makes sense everything is SMR. Especially since you’re shopping for 2.5" laptop drives.
The ironwolf drives are more enterprise focused so they’re noisier, might be why it’s cheaper. But they’re a good option all around. (Frankly day to day hard drive prices are random anyway…)

No they don’t typically come with any hardware to hook up, it’s assumed you plug it into your computer. However you can get USB to SATA adapters, with an external 12v power brick for mechanical drives, fairly cheap on amazon et al. I have one from U-Green that works fine and is also a USB hub and SD card reader. They’re great to have around just in case.

AMD has, as far as I understand, been outcompeting Nvidia on value for a good while.

And yet their market share doesn’t increase. Because Nvidia holds a stranglehold on both the software (CUDA, RTX support, frame gen, etc) AND sheer brand recognition- gamers always complain about Nvidia and want better AMD cards, but continue to line up in droves to buy Nvidia cards no matter what.

Nvidia knows they can do whatever the fuck they want right now.

AMD is a puppydog that follows Nvidia around on the open market with 10% or less market share. If Nvidia constricts supply and causes a massive price jump and shortages, AMD will just follow the pricing curve and we will still get no GPU’s.

AMD is also 100% reliant on TSMC and VRAM suppliers, the same exact supply pressures causing Nvidia to turn off the consumer tap will come for AMD too.
