I hate how people mix up correlation and causation with JC Penney and it’s couponless trial. The company was ALREADY very much on a fast track to bankruptcy when it decided to try removing coupons - that’s why they tried it. It didn’t make enough of a difference to pull them out of the nosedive they were in.

It’s not that not doing coupons doesn’t work, it just didn’t save a failing business.

This has been the case since SATA revision 3.3, released Feb 2016. So while I may have exaggerated with “ancient”, a brand new PSU certainly shouldn’t still be feeding 3.3v to that pin.

I have done this with dozens of drives and have never had to do any pin blocking. You only need to do that if you’re using an absolutely ancient sata power cable that doesn’t know about the spinup pin change

It certainly is. ISO 27001 is a framework, not very prescriptive at all. Basically an auditor will ask “how do you ensure data isn’t leaving your facility in the form of discarded hardware?” If you say “here’s a link to our media destruction policy. It says all drives are wiped according to NIST 800-88 cryptographic erasure. If that is not possible or not applicable, the drive is destroyed. Here’s our log of decomissioned equipment” chances are very good they’ll say “OK great let’s move on to the next one” with only minor followup questions.

Just more nonsense showing how broken modern copyright is. It’s too hard to write weasely legalese to just say you have the right to reproduce content submitted to your website, you have to own it entirely. And if you own it, why not sell it?

“Responsible reporting” is for security vulnerabilities… It’s extremely hard for me to believe that jailbreaks like this should be considered security vulnerabilities, especially if it’s something local-only or otherwise limited to something only the owner of the device would feasibly be able to do.

Does anyone believe the portable is actually a more secure device now than it was before this patch?

Op said they tried without the firewall connected and had the same results

I’m kind of surprised RED is still small enough and Nikon is still big enough for this to happen. In my mind I expected them to have a thousand+employees

1. Nintendo online is a lot like Xbox live. You can play single player without it (generally) but have to pay to get online/multiplayer

2. yes, you can have multiple accounts on the switch each with their own save, without paying for online for all/any of them.

3. I don’t know if I’d guarantee that. Who knows what dumb services things rely on. If you want something that’ll work maybe consider a more open ecosystem like that of the steam deck or its competitors

1. RAID for uptime, backups for data you care about. RAID(1+) will keep your data online when a disk fails, but backups are the real way to keep data around if shit hits the fan. For a personal media collection, you might be better served with a non resilient RAID0 (total failure if one drive fails) with a backup around to recover from when that happens. If you do e.g. a raid5 you lose 1 disk of capacity in exchange for 1 disk of resiliency, raid6 same but 2 disks. That gives you some safety but there are a lot of instances where those raids don’t save you from losing all your data. If you buy 4x 18TB drives, you could have 36TB from the 1st two drives and then backup to the other two drives.

2. There’s no specific type of drive to worry about unless you’re doing RAIDs especially with ZFS. Search shingle RAID rebuild for the biggest thing to worry about there.

3. Almost always, yes. Slow drives throttle the rest.

4. I’ve never used them but people say good things about synology most of the time. Everything comes with a cost and it’s hard to make any sensible recommendations without knowing your constraints; primarily your budget.

Aussies really have trouble with spelling, huh?

Fucking exactly. “Welp I can’t find what I need here anymore, guess I’ll go somewhere else”

In a way I agree, there has to be a major deterrent for this level of negligence. That said, “ruin their life” isn’t IMHO the right way to go. I’d be happier if they kept living a productive life, but they’d better be supporting the people who depend on me.

You want them to learn their lesson but how do you do that without ruining lives? How do you do it before they kill two people? I think that level of change has to be governmental and even cultural. Reducing dependence on cars, increasing how seriously driving is taken, etc

Suing Tesla seems a little dumb to me. Sue the DMV that’s giving people like this licenses

I get that’s the nature of searching for something I want to purchase

God damn it I hate the modern reality of online shopping. Make searching actually worth a damn again ffs

They mean take your cell phone/tablet/laptop and walk to another room so you get stronger WiFi, not change your address, as can be seen by the context in the next statement “or try with a wired connection”

There’s a lot of aqara “zigbee” stuff that just doesn’t work properly, even though it’s the same protocol. Also smart electric meters that have zigbee but not in a way that’s useful, just as another example

Personal preference: Jellyfin instead of plex

Some that I run that you don’t seem to have anything for:

• Lancache (if you have several gaming PCs on the network or host any kind of lan party)
• surveillance camera software e.g. shinobi
• I see grafana, but other monitoring services like icinga, librenms, etc
• Mayan EDMS - I’ve found this really helpful as anything I get in the mail, I scan in, and this makes it all searchable and retrievable.
• There’s a whole hole you could dig if you start getting into home automation (I use home assistant)
