well yeah, you can’t just try, you need to actually do it.

Stupid title, grammatically at least.

that would most certainly make for an interesting experience.

nice instance btw

High capacity SMR drives are already a special hell, those wont get much market share for the average HDD use case outside of archival usage, which might be the intent to begin with lol. I believe SMR drives are already cheaper anyway, not sure how much that is due to R&D and production or just existing in a special market space right now, but it’s one of them.

uh no, i think the point would be that it’s a scary game. This isn’t a fucking beavis bacon teaches you typing simulator game.

that’s possible, but idk. I don’t really see why i would want an 8TB ssd that can run at 4GB/s unless im literally a data center, so i think at some point the higher capacity ones are just going to have to be cheaper and more affordable. I.E. probably slower.

it’ll be interesting to see what happens, but i’ve been hoping that at some point SSDs will simply hit a cost point that is lower, whereas HDDs won’t be able to go below that (due to physical tolerancing and complicated manufacturing) whereas with an SSD it’s literally just chips on a board. You put more of them on the board it has more storage, simple as that.

Although i think before that, HDDs would likely become extremely competitive since they would actually be forced to lower cost some substantial amount.

doubt it would matter much, if you need long term storage you’re using LSO tapes anyway.

HDD might be nice for a bulk backup or just mass storage, but i think the primary driving factor for them is going to be cost.

oh shit, you might be right, this might actually make HDDs more affordable as flash starts to catch up.

and we love them like brothers and sisters.

And we also treat them like such, lol.

Together we can create a dysfunctional OS user base, and this is what we’re missing.

are HDDs finally dying?

i have no clue, but i would assume it’s native to twitter if they’re pushing it that hard, either that or someone is paying a lot of money for that captcha access lol.

i love when websites (twitter is a really bad example) hit me with like 8 captchas, and then if i get my username/password wrong i have to do another 8. It’s just so obviously gaming for training data on shit lmao.

the new ones suck so fucking much though

that’s great, how long until you think youtube makes a new premium tier that starts showing ads?

Or that one notable bug where premium shows you ads.

my point is that there is no guarantee in the quality of the service, they have no legal requirements for it (here in murica at least)

hence the until it stops working, but even then it will likely get worked around for the most part.

legally that’s the same as far as courts care.

The only thing that would change this is a ruling on advertiser responsibility. Or something tangentially related that would force them to properly regulate ads for example.

Ultimately i’m guessing unless youtube rolls their own in home ads, instead of allowing other advertising agencies to run their ads on youtube, it simply wouldn’t apply here.

check out the megathread for generic info and recommendations.

https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/30062 specific thread for i2p, there’s plenty more information out there, you can also ask me about a few things as well.

the TL;DR for doing it without ur isp bonking u is to use a VPN, or a seedbox, which are options. Though you’ll ideally want to use anonymous payment services like monero instead of something else, if you really want to be secure.

from what i understand, private trackers are generally fine and secure, aside from the fact that ur isp might not like the traffic, but that’s a fault of the ISP, not the law. torrenting is perfectly legal. Though using a VPN is probably still recommended anyway.

navigating malicious software is kind of hit or miss now, but it’s more likely you’ll find them on bigger reaching platforms, and in actual software, rather than like, mp3s or movies. That’s just basic opsec though. (again private trackers are beneficial for this reason, they have better QA and vetting)

yeah, if you want to charge me on a per packet basis, fucking charge me on a per packet basis.

don’t play this bullshit of “unlimited bandwidth” but actually it’s 1gbs so it’s not unlimited but actually very specifically limited to one specific amount, and nothing more, because it’s physically impossible for it to be higher.

They’re not getting it for free. They pay video creators. And they know that the more they can pay them, the more and better content they will get.

barely, most of that payment is from premium subscribers and memberships, people who spend their own money on this, youtube gives them a share of the ads, sure, but ads are basically a fraction of the majority of most youtuber incomes these days.

I can point you to some people who need your money more than you do. Are you going to give it to them? Why not?? Doesn’t money flow to those who need it??? Isn’t that how this works???

i can point you to the basic fact that if i just keep my money, i can very well do more work with that money that i keep, rather than just giving it away to other people.

Money doesn’t flow to those who need it, money flows to those who get it through commerce most effectively.
