The problem is that USB flash drives don’t keep their data intact for very long when they’re powered down. It lasts long enough for everyday use, but not even as long as a hard disk for archival.
USB sticks and SSDs are no good for long-term storage. The data on them degrades rapidly if they’re not powered up. Spinning disks last longer. So your process would be better done with those.
Huh? USB is a connector, not an archival format.
It’s a shame their capacity lags so far behind current hard drives. And not many drives for these discs are still made, so what are the chances of them becoming unreadable just because no one has equipment to read them?
I once accidentally ate dog shit when I was a kid. Even this lunch tasted better than that. But, as you can see, my standards haven’t changed that much.
Yeah it’s fake meat. Not classy or healthy or anything. Just brown.
$20 per month would be enough to discourage me. It’s another relatively costly computer-related subscription and I already feel like I’m losing a battle to keep those minimal. There would have to be some very clear benefits for that price.
Every device I have just has a couple of blue ones and a couple of black ones, perhaps some orange ones and some USB-C ports, and good luck figuring out what they all can do. No symbols anywhere.
But it’s glitchy, the numbers don’t work, and you’ll notice the player never looks behind them.
I watched the video and there are two scenes where the player turns to look directly back where they just came from.
Every company is still doing this even though studies have shown it puts customers off.
If it works like most AI ad engines, it will keep advertising more of the same Ford car you just bought.
As I understand it, that project spanned several planned generations of chips and this was to be the first of them. So yes, this is part of the cancellation of his whole project.
Shed a tear, if you wish, for Nvidia founder and Chief Executive Jenson Huang, whose fortune (on paper) fell by almost $10 billion that day.
Thanks, but I think I’ll pass.
I suspect it’s not an optimization to make every post you see interesting. For one thing, we tend to find intermittent rewards more fascinating and addictive than reliable ones. For another, if you have to scroll further you’ll see more ads. But if you make it too boring people won’t scroll at all. So the algorithm probably tries to make it just interesting enough to keep people scrolling, but no more.
A feature that has been shown to actively put people off your product. But in the end these companies would rather have investors than users, and it’s the investors they’re marketing to.
I’m in the same position. I prefer free software but there is none that does what Affinity does. If it goes subscription-only and they shut down the bought versions, it will have to be piracy time.
Are they? When they bought it they explicitly promised that they would not change the licensing. And no one believed them. Affinity was the only true competitor to Adobe products with equivalent functionality for a reasonable one-off payment instead of an extortionate subscription. I was so happy to find it - software that actually feels good to buy and use, Of course they’re going to ruin it.
If that happens, no point making anything, since your stuff will get stolen anyway
From a capitalist’s point of view, yes, but we need a society that enables people to act from other incentives than making money. And there are plenty of other reasons to make things.
Do SSDs do that automatically in the background, or is all the data I’m not actively refreshing gradually rotting away?
