Right? It's off now? Yes?

Lost time for being sick.
Lost time for commuting, what is it? Bare minimum 30 minutes a day per staff member but *probably* something more like 90 minutes a day average.

I would GLADLY sign legal documentation offering 30 minutes extra work a day MININUM to avoid coming in to the god damned office.

So wasteful.

This has been around at least a decade, there's a linux port / fork or some such.
Writes data to every byte, reads it back to confirm it's good.

Takes a while, you should do this to any disk, INCLUDING hard drives if you've paid a lot for them. I just did it to 8x16TB Exos drives (and found a faulty, thanks to it)

Worth using so you know you can (probably) rely on the media even as it fills up.

Could you provide more information?

I've been following this thread on Bugzilla for years.

They're probably offended by the term "pies" they aren't even close to pies and makes zero sense.

The closest thing to a pie in the pizza family is the Chicago deep dish and it doesn't have a lid, so it's really more of a tart.

> "Samsung does this already. Popular phone models like Galaxy have entirely different CPU and video SOCs for the North American market (Snapdragon/Adreno) and the Euro/Asian (Exynos/Mali) markets."

blows my mind, they still do this.

Boy do I not miss Samsung.

Just do the one and be done with it, fools.

The crazy thing is people are upvoting you for a post of complete bullshit.

In most instances a SATA 3 SSD will perform 99% as well as an NVMe drive for general Windows use.

There's an almost endless plethora of articles covering this. If you got more than 25% I'd be astounded, more like 5%

There are 2.5" drives up to 5TB - don't know if there's 3's but def 4 and 5.

Heighwise however, I'm unsure if they've retained the correct height.

I believe some laptops will accomodate the 9mm drives (7mm being ultra slim) but I think the 4 and 5 are extra high, fairly sure of it.

As much as it's wildly expensive, a "cheapo" 4TB SSD might be the go here.

The PS2 could output at 1080i but virtually nothing was able to run at that resolution.

the PS3 and Xbox 360 could output at 1080p, but virtually nothing actually ran at that resolution.

The PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series systems can output at 4k, but virtually nothing, even now, runs at full 4k, all the time. They might output at it but they are upscaling 1440p for example.

Has anyone actually sat in front of a 4k display at the average viewing distance your typical dummy sits from such a display?

We don't need 8k, not for a very, very long time, not unless we're moving to 120" + televisions any time soon (and still sitting fairly close)

Let's get games actually running at 4k, properly first.

SteamDeck and SteamOS appear to be fantastic products and they should be proud of them. Love them and the concept.

But, if I recall, they were going to release SteamOS 3.0 shortly after the deck. It's been like 2 or near 3 months now, it's kind of time to ship this thing.

Thank you.

I'm sick of posting this myself! I generally have a rule of dividing wifi claims by a factor of 5 or more (after dividing by 8 for bytes!) Just to get even close to real world results.

Not really. Some of us closely follows codecs. Especially open ones which is good for everyone.

We should all want av1 to succeed

We've reached the point in the pandemic that the business and govt employers, are forcefully desperately and damn near violently pulling people back in to the office, trying to claw back control and drag us into the office.

If you're not "one of the chosen" (management layer or close to it) or highly skilled, you're about to get shafted.

Thought you could do your job at home? Well you could, but magically right now it's IMPERATIVE you get back in the office, apparently.

Seeing articles across the web, across many countries, including my own. Just come back to the office now, come back or you're fired.

Many many agreements of perm WFH, proven to be lies. 3/2 split of days? Ooops nope that's 5 days now, despite how we advertised the job.

Etc

Not happy

Australia in particular, we were always backwards.

Plethora of people are talking about being dragged back into the office here in Aus, many of which could work from home indefinitely.

Some 5 days, some 3, very few, 2 or less.

They want their money churning through the cities again.
Unless people say "no" or in the very least "why?" they'll keep doing it.

You need to start quitting, you need to start saying no, or they'll unwind the whole damn thing.

I'm hearing return to the office across basically the whole planet right now, every type of job, every business, many cities. Frustrated people are being pulled in to sit in traffic or on trains for hours at a time for little to no value at all.

Going to have to agree with this luddite right here.

Never once, have I thought 4G is too slow for me. I still see speeds ranging from 20, to 150Mbit depending on location and I've heard of higher.

I'm sure 5G is good but 4G seems to have proven good enough for a while.

2G was AWFUL, (dialup) 3G was ok (ADSL1) - but 4G feels like a true high broadband link and I can't see me complaining "man, it's just too slow" - not even once.

Not reliable enough? Not smooth enough pings? Maybe but never "this is clearly not enough bandwidth" - maybe in 10 years?
