I’ve got Durock T1 switches with I believe 67 gram springs.

At least you could disable S mode

Um, should I stop using Brave?

I’m not sure if SSDs were really cheaper before. RIght now, I’m seeing about $0.043-$0.05/GB. From what I recall, that’s about the same or a little better than what we had in 2023.

However, I very much agree that prices should have decreased much further in that time.

There are several options here below $90 (including a couple nvme ones), and a couple at or below $85: https://pcpartpicker.com/products/internal-hard-drive/#t=0&sort=price&page=1&A=1600000000000,24000000000000

SSDs have gotten much cheaper. 10 years ago, they were over $0.50/GB, now they’re just over $0.04/GB That’s over 12 times cheaper.

You can get a 2tb ssd for $85. 10 years ago a 2tb ssd would’ve been super expensive and very boogie.

Many Microsoft employees are on Visas. So they can’t really risk losing their jobs as they’d risk deportation. I suspect this is one of the reasons why big tech companies hire so many workers on visas tbh.

While I do love oled and have an oled display myself, an ips display shouldn’t have such bad viewing angles that you notice issues when looking at it straight.

I largely agree with everything you said. One minor correction, algorithms and AI are not the same thing.

For a privacy focused search engine. At least the option would be nice. I personally just use my PC and phone, so I’d only need to set it up twice. Additionally, I imagine an export/import function wouldn’t be too hard to set up.

Ooo, I hope this would come to pc too. Also, hopefully it’d include GoW: Ascension as well.

Not op, but I have the galaxy fold 3 and it’s amazing. I’ve had it for 3 years and I can’t go back to normal phones. And I’ve heard the same from many others that got their first foldable.

Oh, yes. In fact, I think it was a crime that the ps4 pro was not 4k.

And you can add the ps5 pro to that list now

Another big problem imo is also that you effectively lose ownership of your games. Inevitably, servers would be shut down and you wouldn’t be able to download the games that you own. And that’s if things go well. Some games could always just go away earlier as we’ve seen on other platforms. However, if you own the disk, then that’s that, you can play the game forever.

On steam, the same problem could technically happen, but I trust Steam significantly more. It’s very much in their best interest to keep growing their library of games and not stop supporting them. I still have games from 10+ years ago on it and I expect to keep them 10+ years from now.

It’s def a blu-ray player. In fact it’s not just that, it’s a 4k blu-ray player.

So, Bluesky?

But it’ll also allow you to just carry 2 batteries and swap if needed. Even if you don’t want to do that, when your battery ages enough that you can’t at all go through a typical day, you can easily change it out yourself to a fresh one to refresh your phone.

You can get an add-on for the genesis mini that adds this: https://www.play-asia.com/mega-drive-mini-tower/13/70crmd?srsltid=AfmBOoqh0S4UQSdFVd2A8NocnB1SHu7dy_r9C0IkuuYy_W-ajJAOhooY

It’s not functional though.

Actually, I managed to fix the issue. Tbh, idk why/how this fixed it and perhaps I should’ve mentioned this as well, but I have tailscale set up on my server to allow remote connections. I was connecting to the server through tailscale even though I’m in the local network. This should work just fine and has in the past, but perhaps it doesn’t when first signing into a fresh install. I disabled tailscale on my client and retried and that worked. I was able to reattempt the install wizard, completed it, and now have a working server once again.

I haven’t yet validated playback as my library is being rescanned now, but I’m at least able to navigate. I’m also unsure why I was able to attempt the wizard before just for it to get stuck…

Thanks for the help! Your swift responses have been appreciated and I learned a good bit :)
