I’ve become much more selective with my video quality. I’ve found that 480p encoded from a raw source produces pretty acceptable quality, anything that isn’t made to be eye candy I’ll encode myself from a raw file down to 480p. There have been many things that have been very hard to find, so I feel it’s more important that they exist, rather than be in the highest definition possible. Quality of pixels is more important that quantity of pixels.

Same. I use these drives in a mirrored setup or to hold data that’s replaceable. If they make it a few months without showing errors they might get entrusted to something more important. I’ll shell out for a new drive for my constantly in use drives, luckily I read the warning signs and bought a few 20tb HDDs when ram and SSDs started skyrocketing. I’m kicking myself for not grabbing a few backup m.2 nvme and 2.5" SSDs, because I’m already doing the hardrive shuffle in my mini PCs. I’m fine living life with networked rusty spinners, but I really really don’t want to go back to spinny boot/high throughput drives.
Have you ever made lemonade?
“Clockwise” is universally known by all cultures, reading order varies.
So when translating to a different language, you can’t just say reading order, you have to change the article instead of just translating

Technology@lemmy.world•USA: Slate's New Electric Truck Will Cost Slightly More Than $24,950English
0·9 days agoWhile this is true in theory, in practice it rarely shows up. If these trucks do deliver a good, simple experience at $25K, others would not be able to just copy it and catch up. It would be easier for any of the big guys to just buy the company.
I agree, but without the complications of a combustion engine, it makes it a lot easier. You can buy ev conversion kits for around $15k, so there’s also an “I’ll make my own, with blackjack, and hookers” option.

Technology@lemmy.world•USA: Slate's New Electric Truck Will Cost Slightly More Than $24,950English
0·10 days agoI would truly not be surprised that this would be an attempt to take over there ev truck market, but manufacturers should have been paying attention. There’s a huge market for small ass trucks, no one is catering to it
While I’m sure they’ll try to enshittify, the downside to that plan is that they need to make sure no one takes their place and they need to have something people want that they can enshittify. The benefit of simplicity is that it makes it simpler for another manufacturer to pick up the slack.
Nextcloud has worked wonderfully for pretty much everything except for the office suite, which almost never works, I’ve heard AIO runs it fine. I’ve just had more useful luck with collabora on my phone and libreoffice on desktop that I’m not willing to fuss about to try and get it to work for the fifth time just for it to break again.
As for installation, I went the nextcloudpi route on a normal PC and haven’t really had any issues that weren’t my own fault. The biggest struggle I had was figuring out what packages I needed to install on a minimal Debian install before I could successfully run the installer.
I did spin up a nextcloudpi lxc container on proxmox since I’m expecting to containerize it in the future and it just started up perfectly along with the normal office suite issues.

News@lemmy.world•Trump may be mystery patient in odd case of 79yo getting experimental obesity drugEnglish
0·10 days ago“Name not given” applies to every person alive, and “only one person” also applies to everyone alive. Therefore the only link to Trump is “79-year old”, and I suppose “obese”, but the nature of the treatment and approval says to me that it rules him out instead of includes him.
As far as investigating abusing his office for personal gain, this is like saying Dahmer is murderer because he stepped on a bug. Maybe investigate the bodies instead.

0·10 days agoStat reporter Lizzy Lawrence replied, saying, “I asked you, the FDA, and HHS multiple times yesterday whether this application was for the President. No one answered my question directly.” Desai then seemed to confirm that no one had answered the question, calling it an “idiotic question.”
I’m gonna have to agree with Desai here. It’s a stupid fucking question. As much as I hate the guy, the only link is a 79 year old. This is national enquirer level of reporting.

Technology@lemmy.world•Tested: Microsoft just debloated Windows 11 Search without Bing, and it's crazy fastEnglish
0·11 days agoI put an ssd in a laptop from 2003, it boots to desktop on antix just as fast as my T14 running opensuse.
When this laptop was running XP spinning rust, it took 5 minutes to get to desktop, 10 minutes to do anything useful. SSDs have made that possible, pretty much nothing to do with anything else.
My dad had a C64 that I’d play around with, and I can confirm, it booted in seconds. Loading a program was a different matter.

Technology@lemmy.world•Louis Rossmann is suing Samsung after firm offers $330 refund for defective SSD while selling the drives on Amazon for $949 — spat over 4TB 990 Pro SSD is headed to courtEnglish
0·22 days agoSamsung’s costs haven’t inflated 3x, and they’re the fab, therefore there’s a real strong argument that they should replace rather than refund. The error in your argument is it being cheaper, it’s instead less profitable for Samsung to give refunds at the new purchase price.
I would be willing to bet that a letter from a lawyer along the lines of “refund at purchase price or send replacement, otherwise meet us in court and incur lawyer fees” will get a replacement sent. They’re chasing profits, paying lawyers hurt profits, especially since a single lawyer for a day just to review the situation probably costs them more than their current profits.
