A simple scan is fine, but to actually image a dying drive for recovery purposes, you should absolutely be doing a direct connection

I’m going through it rn for Proxmox, it’s a pain in the ass.

I think it was better a tad on ESXi, but VMware stuff is a non starter for me at this point.

It’s worthless when you can’t upgrade a damn thing, it’s frankly unacceptable to produce a laptop with soldered RAM and a soldered SSD (with no expansion options)

Apple claims it’s for speed and performance, which is technically true, but you’re not going to notice that 10% difference between a good quality NVMe and some speedy DDR5 RAM

But you will notice when you try to save some money on base RAM and base storage and then realize, you can’t upgrade shit a year or 2 later and your only option is to drop another couple grand for a whole new device

Fuck Apple.

$300k might be worth the sacrifice

Right? I realistically just need 150k/yr to be stable in my area, I could chuck the other 150k/yr into savings and quit after 3 years with 450k in the bank

Because Apple always gotta fuck with and “innovate” perfectly working shit

Windows’s built-in tool can make zips without fucking with shit AND the resulting zip works just fine across systems.

Mac though…Mac produced zips always ALWAYS give me issues when trying to unzip on a non-mac (ESPECIALLY Linux)

Meh it’s a meg, not like it’s the good ol dial up days where you’d sit there and have to wait for a few hundred KBs of a pic to load line by line LMAO

This incident will be reported

Ig we could memes about snap or something lmao

It did more than “a few colors”, compared to today’s fancy modern theming systems it was def rudimentary, but with a single click Win 98 would change colors, the cursor, the entire sound pallette and even button images iirc. I was particularly fond of the Computer theme and the Space theme lol

Thanks, yea it looks like this is gonna be a long game to acquire lmao

How repairable are these things?

I’ve lost count, but upwards of 10,000 Movies/Shows (and ofc each show could have 10, 20 or even 100+ individual files) that only comes to about 100-120TBs

The remaining 150 or so (My usage is 280TBs, I just locked in a limit of 300) is, well, my entire life that isn’t deemed so important as to go to my actual personal GDrive. It’s not just some images, it has every image of every drive and device I’ve ever owned just prior to it being put out of service.

Windows used to actually have cool theming capabilities in Windows 98 (And I think ME/2000) what the hell happened to that LMAO

Well shit, and it even has a pre built magisk module

Aaaand installed lmao

747.41kW, or around six and a quarter NVIDIA GB200 NVL72 racks. Max power consumption was rated for around 1.75MW.

I think my electric company would pay me a visit if I fired that bad boy up in my house lmao, to bad the auction closed already. Oh and it closed at 480k lmfaooo

Especially modern macOS, macOS has become…too distrustful of the user IMO. Maybe even as a pathway to getting their user base used to a locked down OS on a Desktop/Laptop for future expansion of that walled garden.

Sure, windows has system accounts with permissions levels above admin, like SYSTEM or TrustedInstaller, like macOS. But the difference is you can take control of one of these “Uber Admin Accounts”, macOS does not.

SSDs were properly destroyed

I hate when companies do this, SSDs do not need to be shredded, there’s no security benefit whatsoever. You don’t even need to do the whole “write 0s/random data X times” like with HDDs. So damn wasteful ugh.

Windows warning is like the check engine light in your car, ignore till it starts being a problem lmao

The Coderator 4000!

Pfft as if, P&F would write Linux entirely from scratch for “reasons” making it the best version of Linux ever seen and the proceed to take over the entire OS landscape in a matter of hours

They’re a user around here that has the username onlinepersona [And something else I think], they’ve been doing the same thing since…before the reddit exodus I think, so that’s probably who you picked it up from

Now that I think about it I don’t think I’ve seen him in awhile now
