I can’t wait to explain my parents and grandparents how to not be tricked into installing some random app that a AI voice on TikTok/Facebook recommends, that is not suspicious at all downloaded from a weird domain.
Good point.
I looked mostly at the spec sheet from the manufacturer and for example the Samsung 870 Evo vs Seagate IronWolf NAS Drive.
Side note, AFAIK NVME drives have a higher power consumption. Especially PCIe 5.0.
My NAS with 2 HDDs from Seagate has a total powerdraw of around 30-40w.
And I don’t spin the drives down.
Latency of accessing files/loading times
Lifespan reduction because of spin up / spin down Head moves (the most common for head crash, as I learned from my Teacher)
Most of the power draw is from the hdds. I have the same issue. If you want less power consumption. Invest in SSD or SSD and HDD hybrid where you store quick access files on SSD and rare access on hdd (then you can spin them down with timeout of , let’s say 30-60 min).
This should save some energy
As you mentioned, 99%
I had in the last month two devices , one from 2014 and one from 2024. The 2014 laptop had minimal missing driver problems on windows 10 that took me a while to find and fix, except for one driver that still is missing.
The 2024 laptop that I wanted to reinstall windows 11, did not like it when you USB boot windows 11. It had missing drivers for everything, Network, GPU, Mouse Trackpad, the installer also prompted for Driver CD input, like , what???
I had to repair the installed windows instead, don’t know why this happened.
For ultimative noops. Fedora Atomic. You can’t do much wrong. Only problem is that adding missing driver need some terminal experience , but tell me where it is easy to add missing driver…without catching a virus
Jokes on you, I have a second phone with revanced. I switched to iOS after being on Android from version 2-11. It just would be nice to have it also on the iPhone. Or I quit YouTube, by the time it should be full with AI videos….
Hello fellow German.
We also got free to use 3D printers in our city.
This is a nice and cheap way for people to start getting creative but don’t have the money for a 1000€ machine.
I started using it a while ago. One big difference between iOS and android version. Android version is published by voodoo.
Also, because of Adblock, I did not know or notice that it has ads.
And my posts are only visible to friends for a day , not strangers for ever.
Do you know anything else , like what data they might collect?
Feddit.org it is.
