Gues why: Ultra cheap labor.
And probably not 100% voluntary.

Reason why I only buy at AliExpress and only stuff I don’t ingest or wear on me for longer times.

Don’t forgrt HL2 RTX coming up.

Had (and probably have it somewhere) a 2TB Toshiba drive for +5 years in my desktop as a games and programs data grave. Never once had an issue.
My current NAS drives are also Toshiba helium filled drives and though loud are okayish under light read operations.

Usually you see this for creators like vtubers.
I like them but I will never consider memberships. At best I will sub to an actual service like floatplane or nebula

How much storage are you using and how much does it cost per month/year?

The controller is about 3-4 years old if I remember correctly with moderate use.
But I also use fluid soap. Afaik that may leave residues on equipment?

I wash my hands after eating if I use my controller (else it depends if they feel dirty).
Even doing that the thumbsticks (of my Shock Blue xbox series controller) are still are a bit discolored.

The US (which is usally a majority as it was for Reddit) just hasnt woken up yet /s

Disable the Windows Update service?

Im actually surprised that FR is so much higher. Really unexpected.

Thank you very much for the work. I pondered a few times how I could do that safely as I don’t feel like hosting it that publicly.
I run Jellyfin publicly behind Authelia but there arent any personal files inside so if they breach it, it would give them only movies, music and tv shows…

Couldnt this in theory also be handled by using cloudflares WAF and disallowing every entry to protected end-points?

Lol we have 50 mbps/6MBs down right now with DSL.
In theory we could go higher but the allocation is already exhausted for the provider and we don’t feel like changing.

Probably because they don’t need to as we are used to it and also more bandwidth to multiplex for other residens/clients to offer.

As if the US and a whole lot other countries are not doing Psy-Ops and other behind the scenes actions. pulling strings on the world stage.

Doesnt Germany also produce a whole lot while their own army is rotting away?

Laughs in uGreen NAS with TrueNAS.

Too bad if you consider yourself more a lurker than a submitter.

Too bad I like to use it during lunch break. :(
