I’m pretty sure that’s only a theory and not something that’s ever actually been confirmed. That said people on /r/datahoarder have raved about those drives for 5+ years at this point, and so far all 6 of my drives have been going strong after 6 years of constant abuse.

What standby mode does your laptop use? Classic S3 standby, or S0 standby like most modern laptops are forced into?

Just know that higher RPM doesn’t necessarily mean higher noise. In my experience Helium filled drives can be pretty quiet, and basically all really high capacity drives are helium filled.

I have an arm of shucked WD drives and while I can hear them from time to time, they’re not bad. Also your case makes a huge difference. Make sure the drives are on rubber isolators, and what they’re mounted on can’t vibrate to make any noise. The only noise I hear from these drives is when they first spin up after being idled.

Is 5640 RPM acceptable? WD reds are all about 5400rpm and are basically the gold standard for NAS HDDs.

You can shuck them out of WD easy store drives sold at best buy. They’re white label drives from WD, but they’re all based on the red/red pro drives.

Apple doesn’t have a monopoly though, there’s still Android. And outside of the US Android is more popular than iOS.

Are there any other virtual stores on the console? There’s obviously physical store fronts, but I’m pretty sure there’s only the one digitally on console.

That’s not necessarily what a “smart” device is.

Did you expect a doorbell with a camera built into it to not be “smart”?

Odds are your Linux install overwrote OCLP. You’d need to install OCLP again and configure it to boot from either Mac OS or your Linux install.

And with GPT partition you can have 128 partitions so ~120 different OSes easily on a single drive.

OP is using OpenCore Legacy Patcher to run an newer OS on an unsupported machine. The option boot menu won’t work, they’d need to get back to the OCLP menu to boot Mac OS.

Onstar has existed since 1996. Cars have been doing this for a long time and it’s not new.

Cisc was never adopted. It all started out basic, then they gradually added more and more shit until you had a complex CPU.

Without the concept of risc there wouldn’t be a cisc.

Ah yes, nothing about your entire existence matters if the way you died wasn’t in an approved fashion.

Shit even if you just look at it in terms of the quality of the meat a stress free well fed animal will taste so much better than one that’s been stressed out its entire life fed literal garbage.

Teslas and Bentleys aren’t even comparable cars.

The Model S has the interior of a nice Camry, but with an iPad strapped on. Bentleys are legitimate ultra luxury cars with absurd interior quality.

Ya know, I wish I could at least say something about being european and using commas instead of periods for decimal points, but I can’t even say that. Still 6MB fully installed is nothing these days.

But you haven’t reported it to authorities?

Yeah, you seem like you really care about gun laws and take this seriously.

All gun laws are unconstitutional.

Guess I should pay more attention to usernames and listen to what people are telling me.

Ah yes, ad hominem attacks based off of a username of all things.

Yes I’ve done many background checks in the past. No I don’t care about giving that info to an individual who I’m buying a firearm from. I would trust the individual more with this information than any business. I don’t buy guns the same way I buy an xbox off of Facebook Marketplace.

Side note: The last few times I’ve been they’ve actually encouraged me to lie when filling out the form. So it’s not even like they give two shits. And ironically they’re right next door to a homeland security office.

Does the seller get the private information of the buyer and run it?

Businesses are free to steal that information but your average Joe can’t?

Does the buyer just show up with a printout and a matching ID and we pretend that can’t be faked?

Why couldn’t they fake that at the gun store?

Oh, so you hate small businesses?

Please don’t start things with bad faith arguments.

Does the size of a 6kb program really make that much of a difference?

Side note: If I’m reading this right (ignoring dependencies) sudo is 6kb while doas is 14kb.

Modern gaming laptops with Advanced Optimus are switching back to a mux for everything.
