    Massive 12-terabyte archive of Steam data leaks online

    No I meant 12TB in 2003 would have been a rediculous amount of storage. To a person back then using a 56K baud modem, it would take 60 years to download that.

    I got them more for the utility of multiple USB outlets and styles. When it comes to charging laptops and high power I stick with name brands like Anker and usually try to get ones that use GaN technology. For these I got 2 and stuck them on the backups for my servers. Then if I need to power a...

    Apple's Mac mini M6, Mac Studio M5 Ultra are pitched as better for AI and graphics

    While I do have a nice Macbook Pro, I vastly prefer to use my M1 Macbook Air because it's very lightweight and the battery life is excellent. I use it about an hour day and only charge it once or twice a month. And I never shut it down, just close the lid. It's never felt underpowered to me. If...

    Apple's Mac mini M6, Mac Studio M5 Ultra are pitched as better for AI and graphics

    I know I'm one of the few on here that will still give Apple products a fair take. The hardware is quality has long been great. But I feel like they are spending so much energy focusing on hardware advancements that they are neglecting the software side. Some of their most core softwares are...

    SAS Drive Converter

    SAS drives are exactly the same as SATA from a user perspective. They are usually considered more dependable because they are sold as enterprise solutions. But that means they often use a little more power and are a little louder because server rooms don't care about quality of life. I...

    SAS Drive Converter

    Just make sure the docks specifically say SAS compatible for the model you are looking at. I think JONSBO offers several high capacity cases that have SAS compatible backplanes. The other evil trick with SAS drives is the 3.3v orange wire on modern SATA power connectors. You will likely have...

    Valve was founded 30 years ago today — changed PC gaming forever with Half-Life, then Steam

    Meta has basically abandoned Oculus running on the PC. But it still works great with Steam.

    SAS Drive Converter

    This is easiest way to do it. It's messy with all the cables, but works rock solid. Probably the most important thing to focus on is the "IT Mode", it means the drives just show up in the operating system the same as if they were plugged into SATA ports on the motherboard. You can take your...
