SSDs aren't great for long term archival since the nand needs to periodically be refreshed. You can build a better SSD, but that compromises storage capacity. HDDs are better, but they have other issues from sitting around not being used. Disks like these are a pretty good backup method if produced correctly. If is the big key, 100 layers sounds like a lot of layers to manufacture correctly, and you won't know your dat is gone until it's unreadable.

But will it be able to replace tape for long term backup? LTO 9 is supposedly available, and up to 18TB not compressed. LTO-10 is 36, and supposedly LTO-14 is going to be 576 TB but that seems overly ambitious.

No, not really. Generally as a product ages the quality control goes down since demand isn't there. You can make archival grade CDs that will last a life time, it just costs too much money for anyone to want to pay for it. Plus business have tape which is plenty good for long term storage.

At this point it costs more money to make a "dumb" vending machine. The cost of a SBC is nothing, and it has more than enough horsepower to process transactions. All that extra horsepower + a 10 cent camera could be used to generate more money with facial recognition so naturally they're gonna spend the extra 10 cents + cost to drill a hole to do it. It's practically free to do it.

HUDs on cars rely on a screen on the dash that reflects onto the windshield and into your eyeballs. They're good at night, but during the day they can be pretty hard to see unless the screen is absurdly bright. Maybe this wouldn't have that issue?

And a new computer wouldn't have the same upgradeability issues? Batteries don't normally degrade that quickly, at least not the ones in good computers.

There's plenty of 2-3 year old thinkpads or other business machines for nothing out there. Most are upgradeable, and even if they aren't you can just look for one that meets your requirements.

And just because they're open source linux distros are immune to this?

Dell isn’t paying anywhere near $120 for windows. Only end users buying a one off license pay that much.

Why? There are plenty of cheap well built laptops that will easily outlive some new garbage PC.

Oems like dell pay almost nothing for their windows license. Compared to the cost of the laptop it’s negligible.

I mean it's social media, on the internet. Does anyone really have any expectation of privacy?

The modlog only shows removed posts which is probably all OP wants. It doesn't show deleted posts, or edit history which I'd want to see.

I've been running one for the past 6+ months with no issues.

I'm talking about software, not hardware. The pocket is magic because it's open an developers can do whatever they want to it, and there's a bunch of devs supporting it. This device is open source, but is just a fancy GBC, and the review pointed out that it's a bit rough around the edges still.

2 displays means the seam is in the middle of your view.

I've never had a controller with drift problems, and I know how I treat my controllers. I've seen people with controllers that drift all the time, and I've seen how they treat their controllers. There's definitely a link.

That said high quality controllers (like first party ones) generally drift less, but not always (see switch joycons). If OP is killing his controller in months then something is going on.

OP isn't asking for it to decrypt automatically. OP is asking for the entering the decryption password to also log you in. That way you only have to type the password once, instead of twice.

Or even the preview...

Lemmy moment.

Good, fuck the NRA and especially Wayne LaPierre in particular. Unfortunately I don't think anything will change any time soon.
