Who do you like instead?

Thats the old standard.

If you want to, you can get an adapter that will allow you to use the newer lithium batteries on the older tools.

Rock guy is the wildcard fun guy.

Bottle guy is the liability guy.

I had a rule where I wasnt allowed to use a gameshark until I had already beaten the story mode.

So I guess the analogy there would be learn how to do the thing the old fashioned way and then only use AI as a tool to do it better.

Is that Oh-rye-un or oh-ree-yon?

USB ssds seem to have a lot of weird issues being used for a nas drive. Sometimes its a power management thing on the SSD itself, sometimes its something odd with the USB controller on the host. Occasionally the power supply of the sff pc doesnt have enough amps for all of the peripherals. Using an intermediary like a usb hub makes all of these issues worse since you add another device with its own potential conflicts.

Not to say its not possible to do, but USB drives and NAS's rarely play nice together.

Does anyone know if there are any plans to port this to raspberry pi?

Been there. Reason I didnt is because other people would bear the shit if I did. Im in a much better place at the moment but I felt exactly the way ypu do about the world.

There is a fuckload of propaganda, and a lot of it is meant to make you lose hope at ever seeing the system change. That makes the opinion that things can and might improve and you are going to be a part of it, no matter how small the most radical thing of all.

Genuinely what helped me through it was volunteering. Everything is shit wall to wall BUT this one tiny thing is better than it was because of me. Its a sustaining feeling for sure.

Keep hanging in there for the ones you love, and the ones that love you.

Its sort of related to the reason that Sharknado isnt a good movie but The Room is even though they both objectively suck.

A genuine but shitty attempt at art will always be more valuable and interesting than a soulless replication of the thing its trying to emulate.

The main point is that the disk controller gets exponentially more complicated as capacity increases and that the problem isnt with space for the nand chips bit that the controller would be too power hungry or expensive to manufacture for disks bigger than around 4tb.

Relevant video about the problems with high capacity ssds.
