  • I have a dual NVMe USB3 caddy that’s smaller than most 2.5 HDD housings with currently 2 2TB drives, you can buy 4 and 8TB nvme drives these days too. I can throw that thing out a car and it won’t care.

    And the drives are easily swappable and so are the electronics in the casing.

    So no, 2.5" HDD’s still are an utterly dead end of technology.

    Especially with these and some other vendors, the USB interface is part of the drive (there’s no SATA port on them), so you can’t swap them or take them out for data recovery. They are HDD tech, which doesn’t do shocks or any other sort of roughhousing, they are slow as shit and use far more power than any NVMe drive.










  • You need both.

    Some people won’t ever hear anything about the issues until they see some weird kid do these stunts or see that someone their age can have a word in the discussion too.

    Others are more likely to pay attention to scientists, the type that read more intellectual literature.

    And then there’s those who won’t ever change their mind because they’ve been spoonfed corporate propaganda and thanks to religion and just generally being dumbasses, are perfectly primed to be managed in this way.



  • The chokehold Israeli Intelligence / Propaganda wing has on reddits worldnews subreddit is freakin depressing (and scary in how total it is).

    Post anything even remotely critical to anything Israel did and within minutes you’ll have a dozen downvotes and people outright warping reality in their response to you, all on relatively recent accounts that only ever respond to posts related to Israel. They aren’t subtle about it in the slightest.

    And stories like them murdering foreign aid workers on purpose just get magicked away.





  • This “smart” tv shite is getting so goddamn out of hand.

    In the past 3 months, my dads TV had to be replaced because the module that runs Google TV shite broke, causing the TV to get stuck with an error message on screen, this was more of an annoyance than a big issue, as you could still watch TV, just with the error message displaying.

    Then a few weeks after that it had to be replaced because at first I thought the backlight was dead (nothing but a feint glow on screen while having audio) as this happened even from a cold boot, but turned out that the Bravia module would run into a hung/frozen state right after it booted.

    So, ya think that would be it right?

    Nope, a good month after that, the TV would constantly log my parents out of Bravia, Google TV and any apps they had installed (indicating to me there was as storage issue).

    The store they got the thing from were sure they must be doing something wrong, so sent someone out who spent a good 4 hours repeatedly factory resetting the TV, relogging them in to then be surprised the issue was exactly as we described.

    So, 3 months, TV replaced 3 times, all due to issues with the goddamn Smart TV shite they shove into everything.

    And you have to know, here there’s nothing on cable or air you don’t have on digital, your internet provider gives you a decoder for digital TV and all your TV really needs to do is accept a HDMI signal and you should be set to watch whatever you want, as Netflix and some other streaming services are integrated into their decoder to begin with.

    But it’s almost impossible to find any TVs without several layers of this smart tv shite integrated into them.


  • Everyone has “cancer or whatever” resistance. That’s why DNA works, it has repair mechanisms.

    Getting cancer is when that mechanism either fails or isn’t good enough to repair the damage.

    Abnormal radiation levels can cause an excess of damage or different type of damage than what your natural mechanism is capable of fixing.

    We’re constantly being radiated, we’re constantly employing our resistances and defenses against radiation.

    We float around on a rock in a sea of radiation and even we ourselves emit low levels of (mostly harmless) radiation.
