Nobody is doubting the growth potential of "BICS" (if you will), countries which aren't currently spending heaps on destruction. China is making one hell of a bargain at Russia's expense too.
But I do envy the person that is able to see potential in a country that needs to contract North Korean soldiers for its war efforts.
Let's hope so. With every passing day this situation is more likely to become a mixture of East Germany and North Korea. Whether the West recognizes eastern Ukraine as Russian or not will be irrelevant. The only "upside" is that Putin's Russia doesn't look like it will be able to sustain itself for as long as the Soviet Union could after WW2.
If that handoff from internal audio hardware to the AUX jack is done in firmware (which is pretty common these days) you're probably SoL. Seems like a first generation oversight. There is no reason why the internal mic couldn't be used. The isolation from the game audio is even better than when the internal speakers are playing the sound.
Mark my words. Don't ever use SATA to USB for anything other than (temporary) access to non critical preexisting data. I swear to god if I had a dollar for every time USB has screwed me over trying to simplify working with customers' (and my own) drives. Whenever it comes to anything more advanced than data level access USB just doesn't seem to offer the necessary utilities. Whether this is rooted in software, hardware or both I don't know.
All I know is that you cannot realistically use USB to for example carbon copy one drive to another. It may end up working, it may throw errors letting you know that it failed, it may only seem to have worked in the end. It's hard for me to imagine that with all the individual devices I've gone through that this is somehow down to the parts and that somewhere out there would be something better that actually makes this work. It really does feel like whoever came up with the controlling circuits used for USB to SATA conversion industry-wide just didn't do a good enough job to implement everything in a way that makes it wholly transparent from the view of the operating system.
TL;DR If you want to use SATA as intended you need SATA all the way to the motherboard.
tbh I often ask myself why eSATA fell by the wayside. USB just isn't up to these tasks in my experience.
The best kinds of cults are the ones revolving around a single person. /s
I mean yea sure, those are the 2 most relevant data collectors to most people. But as much as you can say about Apple's anti-consumer practices, spying on its customers or letting anyone else spy on their customers isn't something they can be accused of.
It's still a closed source ecosystem so you have to take their word for it, and you better assume that their analytics game is the best in the business so you are definitely feeding them (anonymized) research data there.
However the point I'm trying to make is that if you aren't a tech-savvy user (of which there are many) who just wants a solution that works then there isn't really another option if you want your privacy respected. Google don't respect your privacy and Microsoft can't offer big picture solutions that just work with no fuss.
Couple Z brains just got an aneurysm from logic overload.
It's understandable that you want to take your virtualization-capabilities to the next level but I also don't see the appeal of containerizing unraid like many others here. I started using unraid last autumn and to me it really is about being able to mix drive sizes. It's a backup to my main server's ZFS pool so (fingers crossed) I don't even really worry about drive failures on unraid. (I have double parity on ZFS and single parity on unraid.)
Anyways my point is I started out with 8 SATA slots plus an old USB-based enclosure with i set to JBOD mode and that was a pretty stupid idea. unraid couldn't read SMART data from those USB drives. Every once in a while one of the drives would suddenly show up as having an unsupported partition layout. Couple weeks ago all 5 drives in the enclosure started showing up as unusable. So as you can imagine I dropped that enclosure and now am working solely off the 8 internal slots. I'd imagine that virtualizing unraid's disk access might potentially yield similar issues. At least the comments of people here remind me of my own janky setup.
tbh I've had almost exclusively hostile(-ish) exchanges on lemmy as well, but obviously going back to that morally bankrupt place isn't gonna be the answer.
yea imagine if 0 was worth 1 all of a sudden
Must be why he's not on the ballot and imprisoned instead.
Will definitely check to see if I can work OpenSuperClone into my workflows. Haven't had failing drives drop out like that before so I can't speak to that scenario. I imagine if it drops out why would that software have a harder time to recover under SATA?
