  • Any poor quality connector can affect a sector scan and drive performance. Doesn't matter if it's connected to a corroded usb port or a bent internal sata, at the end of the day if you're getting disk errors it's best to measure using two methodologies/data pathways.

  • You might consider the Mackie Crx Cubes. They use bmr drivers that allow a wider Soundstage without needing as much physical space and can be had at a pretty reasonable price. Bass is lacking though, so allocate funding for a small woofer if you want the absolute best experience.

  • That's not accurate. It's far easier to purchase the game currently than it is to pirate it. You get things like automatic updates, server support, verified software, library management, etc with almost every single point of sale where as with piracy you get none of those and likely a little bit of malware as a treat. If you moved games to a completely open source model, you'd see this paradigm shift dramatically with gray markets spinning up seemingly overnight offering similar features.

  • I think it could be viable for a company to release a game with a "5 year FOSS promise" or something similar, but you have to realize that the gaming community would never adequately financially support most development endeavors if the choice was as easy as downloading it from place A vs place B.

  • Careful doing just this. They actually track http request headers and look for desktop signifiers, so your best bet is to use a VPN in tandem with whatever setup you go with. (Tried doing this a few years back without the vpn, they sent me some very upset texts.)

  • I honestly have no idea. I assume it's some issue with background processing or something at an engine level. Nothing Chromium or webkit based seems to suffer the same issues, but perhaps it's just an issue with my Firefox account or an extension that doesn't behave properly with the browser. 😓

  • Firefox has absolutely destroyed the battery of most mobile devices I've tried it with. Any ideas on fixes to get it at least to parity with chrome? In-use power metrics seem fine, but if I let it sit Chrome will allow the system to go into low power/sleep while firefox tends to just keep things running somehow? (Not sure why there's down votes here... I use Firefox by default whenever I'm on desktop and this is a real issue I experience on my mobile systems (M1 pro mac, Intel/Windows laptop, M1 iPad pro, and amd/Linux (steamdeck)). I'm also genuinely interested in solution recommendations... Like I get you love Mozilla and firefox, I do too, but I can't substitute one for the other when it causes a significant shift in my device use paradigm.) (For the continued down votes, 1. You're the reason people don't want to use software you like 2. I've tested this on my machines and it's very real, only occurring when firefox is running and not related to system settings).

  • Most UPS systems of quality will come with software capabilities. You can leverage this and just use a daemon to check the charge status every minute or so. If it's ever off AC or reporting charge levels lowering, you can toss the system into a low power profile. This might accomplish what you're trying to do.

  • I'm also not sure where they got their idea that cloud is cheaper from. On prem has always been cheaper, I've had to walk through fire and flames to get my company to approve cloud hosting as we simply do not have the capacity to be our own mail host. Goodluck explaining tech debt to upper management though, it's like they're allergic to the idea of understanding it.
