gosh I really want Windows 10 LTSC ever since learning about it EOL 2032-01 (that's right 2032, not 2023) wish there was a legal way to own it ps. if you read the whole SD thread, apparently Woot can indeed sell illegitimate keys sounds like an "amazon warehouse deals" where some seller...

is there ever a deal on ESPNplus?

ah only 2 monitors, I am not a gamer but I need something cheap that supports a dual-link plus two hdmi for text price was right oh well

It's going to be a nightmare when people can't read these monster sized drives at the end of the decade because all the helium has leaked out since the atoms are so tiny and slip through everything else Are older drives like 4TB blues still "air" ? Are 6TB still air?

So I have decade-old 1TB and 500GB drives I can still fire up to check for stuff or old backups. When the helium slowly leaks out of these over a decade, are they basically going to be dead then? (helium atoms leaks through everything and anything, ultra small compared to anything they are...

microcenter has had that deal everyday for awhile https://www.amazon.com/SuperSpeed-128GB-USB-3-0-Storage/dp/B07T5XGWZY

10TB for $152 at amazon but ending in the next hour or two I think https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07G3QMPB5/

always check shucks .top first, not sure who made that site but darn handy price unfortunately is not hot compared to pre-covid days, we should be sub $15 by now, especially at that size, I'd be scared to not mirror/raid that large

Thanks for that - in all seriousness if anyone knows of a deal on UV-C bulbs/lamps that would be super awesome right about now as apparently it is known to kill covid19 with enough exposure, there are instructions on building a lightbox for sanitation.

are there any trustworthy microsd deals on ebay? lots and lots of fake chips out there I'm hoping with the code maybe a 32gb for a couple dollars?

I love how we're in an age now where anyone selling something can just openly lie because truth is just accepted as always fuzzy and the sellers realize there's no penalty for just outright lying, I mean what are you going to do about it? the 100s of these on ebay under $9 listed as...

the 6 is air rather than helium like the 8 right? wish I had gotten that instead of the $130 8tb but way too late same $$ per gig but won't stop working when the helium leaks out eventually

my first job as a tech was installing these new fangeled FIVE (5) MB drives, full height 5.25" heavy as a cinder block, they replaced a full height 5.25" single sided floppy drive the controller card was full length double wide and got rather warm, wide bulky cables a few years later when...

you've never owned a helium filled drive in 27 years, certainly not longer than a year every hard drive you've owned has been exposed to regular air with filtered breathing holes for pressure changes there is near zero long term consumer experience with helium filled drives and what actually...
