Movies are not sold on recordable media, they are sold on pressed discs. There are a lot more manufacturers than just Sony too.

You would use a large cluster of servers all stuffed full of enterprise grade SSDs if you need that kind of write speed.

It seems like they need to put a motor in the dragon trunk to perform a deorbit burn after it's detached.

I see an LG WH14NS40 on amazon for $55 US that will write triple layer discs. Where are you finding $130 drives?

Blurays will be much more reliable and will write much faster than cheap flash drives. A double layer disc only holds 46.5 GiB though and triple layer discs are still somewhat expensive.

How much success have you had with modded Skyrim specifically? in c/linux_gaming@lemmy.world

[-] cmnybo@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 days ago

Skyrim and Fallout 4 really need a CPU with very good single threaded performance. If you have a lot of cores, make sure nothing is running in the background so you can get a higher boost speed on the cores the game is using.

I've never had any issues with the speed or storage capacity of the SIM card in any of my phones.

What benefit will the average user see from a faster SIM card?

I picked this little scope up from the Seapac swap meet a week and a half ago for $3. It turns out that all it needed was some contact cleaner to get it working again.

This is a portable scope that can run from 12V DC as well as an internal battery. I don't have the battery for it, but I could probably put some 18650's in there if I disable the built in charger.
