He couldn’t have been arrested for copyright infringement; that offense was perpetrated by the entity that sold the thing to him, not himself.

high resolution, high bitrate video files are pretty large.

Can it actually transfer data fast enough to save or play them back in real-time, though?

That’s a use-case for a fuckton of total capacity, but not necessarily a fuckton of per-drive capacity. I think what the grandparent comment is really trying to say is that the capacity has so vastly outstripped mechanical-disk data transfer speed that it’s hard to actually make use of it all.

For example, let’s say you have these running in a RAID 5 array, and one of the drives fails and you have to swap it out. At 190MB/s max sustained transfer rate (figure for a 28TB Seagate Exos; I assume this new one is similar), you’re talking about over two days just to copy over the parity information and get the array out of degraded mode! At some point these big drives stop being suitable for that use-case just because the vulnerability window is so large that the risk of a second drive failure causing data loss is too great.

Fake: you said yourself that you made it with photoshop in response to the other greentext

Gay: “Femanons?” Female 4chan users? I don’t think they exist.

What does that have to do with anything I wrote?

If boycotts actually worked, we wouldn’t have these sorts of problems in the first place.

“Just don’t buy it” is a cancerous thought-terminating cliche, not a solution!

These product descriptions are likely being generated by the delivery companies themselves without the knowledge or consent of the restaurant owner.

With computer stuff, you can do even better: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literate_programming

TL;DR: your documentation and your shell script (sequence of console commands you run to accomplish the task) can be the same file.

(Dunno what kind of chemistry you do, but you may have already come across this concept in the form of Jupyter notebooks or something like that.)

While I’m at it, I’d also like to mention Ansible and Git, for when you really want to keep good records and have a reproducible setup. Don’t worry about them immediately as it’s probably too overwhelming to learn all at once, but keep 'em in the back of your mind for later.

Honestly, I don’t think it’s possible to get by just trusting any particular guide without developing at least some actual understanding of the concepts underlying what you’re doing. The field is just too wide and rapidly changing for any source of info to be authoritative (and stay authoritative indefinitely after the guide is written), so it’s super important to develop the skill of looking up multiple different and possibly conflicting approaches to the task, thinking critically about them, and then synthesizing your own approach that works for your specific situation.

The Ukraine war started in 2014 with the annexation of Crimea.

Huh. I just kinda assumed Norway would use the Euro, but TIL it’s not even a member of the EU. Weird.

As a DS9 fan, to me that sounds way meaner than you probably intended.

It is good that they are generally nice folks.

It really isn’t, though. There’s nothing I hate worse than polite, evil people who make tone arguments and value appearance over substance. The way they condescend to you just adds insult to injury.

Wow, that’s super-topical in more ways than I had expected. The more I read, the more scarily insightful it gets.

This is a story that’s important, that everybody needs to read.

Considering wiring up something with an arduino and appifying my meat without any proprietary tech.

I had the same thought and went with a HeaterMeter, although I haven’t finished building it yet.

There’s a universe where I attach some electronic controller with a PID loop or something to a smoker, to maintain consistent temperatures via damper control. I’m not buying that off the shelf built into the machine though.

I really ought to finish putting together my HeaterMeter.

Hank is wrong. If all you care about is the “heat,” you might as well go inside and cook on your stove!

Buy military surplus equipment, I guess?

You can download an stl for the battery cover.

The hackability and first-party endorsement thereof was another big underappreciated feature of the Steam Controller.
