I’m pretty sure that’s only a theory and not something that’s ever actually been confirmed. That said people on /r/datahoarder have raved about those drives for 5+ years at this point, and so far all 6 of my drives have been going strong after 6 years of constant abuse.

Just know that higher RPM doesn’t necessarily mean higher noise. In my experience Helium filled drives can be pretty quiet, and basically all really high capacity drives are helium filled.

I have an arm of shucked WD drives and while I can hear them from time to time, they’re not bad. Also your case makes a huge difference. Make sure the drives are on rubber isolators, and what they’re mounted on can’t vibrate to make any noise. The only noise I hear from these drives is when they first spin up after being idled.

Is 5640 RPM acceptable? WD reds are all about 5400rpm and are basically the gold standard for NAS HDDs.

You can shuck them out of WD easy store drives sold at best buy. They’re white label drives from WD, but they’re all based on the red/red pro drives.

Collections is exactly what I’d love to see added to lemmy. Especially if the collections has the ability to filter out posts cross posed to different communities.

It’s not like the frame rate was bad though. Like the video was updating, it was just the scrolling that was jumping. It made 0 science to me how just the scrolling was lagging but not the frame rate. Grated 60fps on a 4090 is abysmal, and this was only a month or two ago.

Is scrolling still janky? I have a 5800x 3D and a 4090 and I’ll get about 60 fps in a fresh city, but scrolling was like 5 fps. The game was still updating, but the scrolling was broken. And the dragging to build streets was janky too.

I returned the game after that. It made me nauseous trying to do just about anything.

That’s not necessarily what a “smart” device is.

Did you expect a doorbell with a camera built into it to not be “smart”?

1 gbit because google fiber is 1gbit but I typically get 1.2 because they overprovision it so much.

I can’t belive Intel even sells these CPUs with thermal paste instead of being soldered. My laptop destroyed it’s thermal paste within 6 months, I can’t imagine a 300+ watt CPU’s paste would survive much longer.

I only use it for stuff for me. If you do a real name it’s more.

Namecheap because I pay 88 cents a year for my domain.

And that’s honestly why I love the iPhone so much. I just realized I stopped caring about doing anything but basic things, and god damn does it do it so well.

You complain of gestures, yet, you’re silent on iOS’s shit notification system?

I have no qualms with iOS’s notifcation system. iOS handles it in app, vs android you’d have to do that in the settings, and not all apps support this. Slack for example does it in app on both iOS and Android. And Discord just doesn’t do either.

latest Pixels have been solid performers for the most part.

The Tensor chips have been hot garbage. There’s a reason I haven’t upgraded my Android phone to one of those. I won’t complain about this pixel performing on par with an iPhone 2 years older than it, and worse than my iPhone 15. But 2 fps in the camera there’s something wrong. And all the stuttering since new just isn’t acceptable. The difference is VERY noticeable when the phone throttles to 10fps in maps. I had to resort to underclocking in order to maintain decent performance longer term at the expense of even worse performance in day to day tasks.

Public companies focus on short term profit to keep share holders happy. Private companies can actually focus on long term profit, especially if it’s at the expense of some short term profit.

30% is more or less the standard. Not just in the games industry, but everywhere.

That has no impact on both of them taking a 30% cut.

Ok so you hate android because you couldn’t stop tinkering with it and it got unstable?

It’s unstable without tinkering with things too. Usually the OS is fine, it’s the individual apps that are the problem, even the built in stuff from Google has problems. My current device isn’t even some shitty Samsung or Motorola phone, it’s a Pixel 4. What’s supposed to be the gold standard.

You must the only one who is actually benefiting from apples anti-consumer practices.

Is preventing users from rooting their phone doing stupid shit and breaking their phone really anti consumer? Anti enthusiast? Yes. Anti consumer? Not so much. And it’s not like you can even do that on all Android phones.

The UI and UX overall are so much nicer on iOS. Especially with gestures, Android’s gesture system is half baked at best.

Sure you can’t rice your phone, but I don’t want to rice my phone. With Android I’m tempted to do stupid shit to my phone because I could, which then causes the phone to be unstable or just not work at all and I have to wipe and reload. With iOS that’s not an option, and honestly I’ve grown past that shit. When Cyanogenmod died all interest I had left in Android died with it. And over the years I’ve found out I wasn’t alone. Root is great, but have you ever just had a phone that works?

Even when I don’t do stupid shit I’ve experienced so many bugs. My camera for example runs at 2fps on my Pixel 4, and I can’t figure out why. UI and UX for apps aren’t as rigidly followed on Android to the experience is a lot less consistent (insert Apple not following their own guidelines meme). And honestly I run into so many more bugs in various apps on Android. In the past year I’ve had maybe 5 app crashes on iOS using it as my main phone. On my Android phone I’ve had at least twice that + at least one full phone crash.

Also the SOCs available on Android phones are garbage. I haven’t looked much into the SD 8 gen2/gen3, but I honestly doubt they’d be as efficient as Apple’s silicon + deep hardware software tie in. (insert iPhone 15 overheating).
