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

phone gps is actually not very good but there is a new chip that does L5 GPS and is in a few phones and that gives it 1 meter accuracy which will blow away any older device very few phones right now though and no official list of them either Google Pixel 4 and 4XL Google Pixel 5 Samsung...

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...

the problem is we don't truly know the failure rate on these drives yet $130 for 8TB is awesome, unless it only last 3 years and has sudden failure where you lose everything it's not like these companies are worried about their reputation, only getting past warranty dates

argh why not on google express

weird question but are these practical as a backup solution to clone a primary ssd? is the write rate fast enough?

yeah that was a weird, very wrong leak, won't trust them anymore, glad I got what I needed yesterday wonder if we'll see anything at the end of the month/year, maybe

do you think they will also do the same deal tomorrow? weird

sorry for a dumb question but computer parts is under electronics right? ie. hard drives

10TB is back for today only at 180 https://www.bestbuy.com/site//6290669.p?skuId=6290669

ooooh - it only works on items from sellers who have stopped accepting paypal and only take ebay's new payment service wow shady move ebay really regret not using that last 15%, there may never be another now

isn't the free year from sprint still going on? at $7/mo you could also do redpocket

dead everywhere now until maybe post-xmas end-of-year clearance but 8tb/10tb isn't actually clearance stuff

oh this is interesting, re: /r/datahorder Elements and Easystore have WD100EMAZ which are helium filled My Book has WD100EZAZ which is air filled

ooh no sales tax but also no googleexpress 20% off also 8TB mybook with 3yr warranty https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822235160

the mybook 8tb is $140 today at newegg, basically buying a 3rd year warranty for $10? https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822235160

helium? I'm waiting for it to hit their ebay store and 15% to negate sales tax or maybe newegg will pricematch on a mybook etc.

can someone enlighten me as to the difference between WD "my book" "elements" and "easystore" branding?

helium not only slowly escapes from metal canisters there is also something called helium (and hydrogen) embrittlement where the particles slide through the metal molecules and fracture them because they are so small compared to other atoms so I have 500gb drives that are a decade old and I can...

yeah no. I'm still not buying a helium drive if that's what these are, I'll wait for the 8TB again btw the 10TB deal is live again as of 1pm EST 11/22

these aren't really helium drives like a couple mentioned right? because helium are guaranteed to fail in 3-5 years, the atoms are so small compared to oxygen they slowly leak out

and best buy mysteriously pulls the easystore 8tb from ebay...

so chrome is now sandboxing every website/tab to help protect against this does firefox have any similar abilities? the zero days are going to be a slaughter

there's an XKCD for this https://xkcd.com/678/

hopefully redundant computers on board to prevent you from making fatal moves wonder if this can even deal with a double-digit breeze but imagine what's going to happen when battery and motor power starts to evolve stronger and stronger

and somewhere a general has decided he wants to monitor icbm launch status via his smartphone so he has ordered a computer setup on the internet to do that and it's on a router with default password, and external web access enabled why is ANY of this on any computer attached to the internet in...

I vaguely remember adata also makes a true 1tb drive not much more last sale edit it's here but sold out https://www.rakuten.com/shop/adata/product/ASU800SS-1TT-C/ but I'm not buying adata, this is just a sign ssd prices are finally getting to reality so there will be other sales
