Though not every fail state is going to show up. If you start seeing weird intermittent behaviour from a drive, for goodness sake find a way to back it up immediately.

My mum’s new nuc started having some issues, SMART showed perfect drive health. After trying a few things to diagnose, I rebooted to run memtest and check for bad ram, and that was the last time it ever booted into windows. Controller or something on the nvme ssd died. Far too expensive to try and repair for data recovery. Thankfully had a… Somewhat recent backup. Not as recent as we would have liked.

Honestly I kind of like that lemmy has less content at the moment. When I’ve seen everything I’m interested in I close it and do something else, rather than doing nothing but scroll.

Though I do miss the long format text stuff a bit.

The redesign was garbage ux from the start and they ignored absolutely all feedback for years. It was fundamentally flawed from the very beginning and they buried their heads in the sand because they knew most people would still use it.

Most people seemed to use the official app anyway, which is even worse, so I don’t see many people changing over this. I was one of the people who said when old Reddit was gone so was I, I just didn’t expect them to do something worse before that time came.

Holy hell, that’s cheap. I’ll have to look into grabbing one to play around with.

I’ve said it for years on Reddit and I will continue saying it here on lemmy. I miss Pebble.

I use a galaxy watch 4 now but while it can do some more thing it still doesn’t fully match the functionality of my pebble time. So many stupid software limitations that shouldn’t exist.

If the battery hadn’t degraded I’d still be using it.

I’ve looked at fossil multiple times and they’ve never matched the functionality I need. No current watches really do.

I’ve warned basically everyone to temper their expectations with palword cause I played their previous game which absolutely is just a janky ass asset flip, but palworld is actually slightly more competent and has been a bit enjoyable. Despite the crap with the differences between steam and game pass versions, I mean.

The discourse around the game has been baffling. First of all, anyone bringing up AI… Like… What? I’m not sure what they think current AI models do. And even the criticisms I agree with - some of the designs are straight up just the bottom half of one pokemon with the top half of another - are absolutely demented. I saw a long thread talking about certain pals and what pokemon they were ripping off and a good portion of them were wrong (it was ripping off a totally different pokemon) or not knowing about the base (usually Japanese) thing that both designs were based off of. Some people have just gone absolutely fucking rabid. I don’t understand how they live like this.

Yeah, I use their OBS version since I had a few issues with OBS and the normal one. My cat likes to sleep on my computer and I needed another camera to point at her when streaming… And then I realised I didn’t need to buy one because I had old phones with good cameras in my desk drawer. Just got a cheap mount to hold my old xiaomi mi 9 SE. Looks fantastic, works well.

They have these on bluesky. You can subscribe to them. I mostly use them for blocking niche content I’m not interested in… That and the susprising amount of dick pics.

You’re right, we should let these vile scammers prey on vulnerable people when they’re at their most hopeless. They don’t deserve their money! They won’t have any use for it!

Yeah, but I use YouTube a hell of a lot more, and also I don’t pay in USD.

I was planning to change my sub recently with a VPN but then I realised I already have YouTube premium and YouTube music already has everything I listen to, so I just cancelled.

Nice of them to fully cement my decision.

Not at the moment. I would love to run lineageOS, etc, but I keep buying phones they don’t support, and at this stage, most of the things I used to need rooting for are no longer as necessary for me.
