Yup, 60W.

More than enough to power one or two drives but when 3+ were writing I’d have a random disconnect.

Tried different hubs, of increasing power. Same thing.

How do you keep it properly powered? When I tried something similar, some drives would randomly vanish because the peak power demand exceeded the supply of the hub.

To me, yellowed plastic is a badge of honor. Old age comes for us all.

I’m surprised this video is still up, since the entire premise is false. They are bootlegs he bought off ebay, not official releases.

Burned optical media shelf life can be as little as 5 years, so I don’t think it should be recommended for long-term storage.

I don’t know about this agreement, but of the ones I read: They also have a mass arbitration clause, where if a threshold of people arbitrate you automatically get grouped into a class so the company doesn’t have to pay nearly as much.

I get my media from the local library and buy the ones I enjoy.

This combo even got rid of something that was ADB blocked in Android 14.

This is such bad news. I’m sympathetic to content creators who have to step on eggshells to please the algorithm/advertisers… But this?

Yeah, this is not that. We all know who this is for.

That’s the fun part. They come preinstalled!

you made me picture a Back to the Future remake with a Tesla Truck as the time machine…

I’m afraid to find out how many people are still downloading OpenOffice, thinking it’s the same software they heard about back in 2010.

fair point, even the MicroSD market would target the mobile user and not so much a desktop.

I refuse to believe there isn’t much demand for it when we have MicroSD cards approaching 2TB.

I just want bigger drives… I feel like we’ve been stuck at 1TB for at least a decade.

I looked at the terms of service and noticed that they bind you into arbitration, limit your terms to $100, mandate you to travel to Delaware for dispute, and force you into mass arbitration if your dispute is similar to others.

Pass

I love how the arstechnica article words it like you will never need FAT32 and it’s silly to consider it.

I had to download fat32format I don’t know how many times because I needed to format an extra large SD Card or USB drive for some device. Microsoft really shafted exFAT’s adoption with their licensing.
