Why is it always that same photo?

US public education has been defunded, chastised , beaten and picked clean for decades by republicans & religious right and failing exactly as designed.

Some of my most intense, fun and vivid memories are seeing live music with friends/ family.

I know it’s not as cheap or accessible as it used to be and that adds to the frustration. But If music is something you’re passionate about, I would highly recommend doing it while the bands you like are still around and you are still able.

If you generally don’t like concerts then you do you and that’s fair.

The right thing to do is offer a program to replace the battery.

Who currently offers this?

Even more right would be not designing anti-repairability into your products.

Who currently offers this?

I don’t need pubic hair in my face. I’ll start from the top and work down. Not sure why people are so compelled to argue.

If you feel the need to floss your ass then hit your face, by all means you do you.

But we aren’t talking about “people”, we are specifically talking about Trump. Trump didn’t “evolve”, he’s a swindler who will say whatever to whoever when it benefits him.

So let’s not take normal people finding out more info on a topic and pretend like that has anything to do with nonsense he happened to say one day or another.

Mastodon.social is the address to that specific Mastodon instance. Take a look at this site for more info.

why not make everything (instance).com?

I’m not exactly sure what you mean by that? Are you suggesting everyone to use a ().com? If so, because they are rarely available and if they are, quite expensive.

Texas reeks of freedom.

Wow. Good luck with life bro.

Man you’re slow.

I don’t need to think about anything. I’ve built out millions upon millions of dollars worth of infrastructure over the past 20 years. I understand the options.

I answered the question asked. Others hinted at raid solutions. OP went out of his way to let us know how he’s a newb so good luck with that.

Long term solution is 100% setting up a raid.

Ask OP

Yeah, of course it is. Because that’s what OP asked for. I don’t see ( use it for a bit first and then automatically copy it over ).

I see:

Is it possible to use SSD drive as a catch drive for 12 TB HDD so it uses SSD speeds when downloading and moves files to HDD later on?

I assumed OP wanted Faster Download Speeds > Time to Access File

You know what. I don’t care. This whole post is ridiculous.

Of course it’s an additional step. But it will download faster. Which was what you asked for, specifically in your post above.

If you write directly to your HDD it will take longer to download. If you write to your ( faster?) SSD the download will be faster but yeah, processing has another step of copying.

I’m sorry, but I have no idea what you’re asking.

Best of luck.

Yes, if the temporary directory where the files are being downloaded (incomplete folder) is on the SSD, then it will be faster, especially if you’ve identified a cheap HDD as your bottleneck.

Unless you are incorrect about the HDD being the bottleneck.

Yes. It’s part of the application and well documented. What did you try and not work?

It would be highly uncharacteristic of Microsoft not to try competing with the Valve.

They had years of opportunity to provide better gaming hardware and software for their customers, but they didn’t. Now that the SteamDeck has gained popularity, they’ve realized the need refresh the lXbox”, likely with an emphasis on Gaming as a Service (Game Pass) and a strong push into streaming games. What they’ve been doing which is basically anything to get people to subscribe.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they released new features or hardware requirements that hinder the SteamDeck’s ability to play newer Microsoft game releases. It wouldn’t be too difficult for them, considering they’ve purchased a significant portion of the gaming market. One thing is certain—there will be zero innovation.

One more thought…

I used to kind of enjoy them until one of them hit on a subject I had just researched and knew immediately how they were spinning it. I can’t stand them now.

That’s a fair point.

My personal opinion:

With that mindset, I imagine you’ve written off all of the news? Or no? Because no one has a perfect record. No one.

Over the years, I’ve learned to always keep the big picture in mind. While these comedy shows often bend things for the sake of humor, they’ve still provided me with valuable perspectives, ideas, and information on topics I wasn’t previously aware of. As an adult, these shows often serve as a starting point or introduction to subjects that I then research further on my own. It’s funny how we hold these comedians and writers to a higher bar than news stations.

Definitely. I completely agree. Which is why I mentioned it at the end of my comment.

One thing I will say though, as an adult, watching those comedy shows, I’m aware it’s a comedy show. Some shows are better than others reporting accurately. But it’s still a comedy show and advertised as such. Yet they have never reached even remotely the level of nonsense presented HOURLY of TV News Networks like OAN and Fox News.
