Don't sweat it.

I remember looking into this as well like a year ago. I also found the same info and started to look into ssds, consumer and enterprise grade and after all that I realised that most of it is just useless fuzzing about. Yes it is an interesting rabbit hole in which I spent a week probably. In the end one simple thing nullifies most of this: you can track writes per day and SSD health. It is not like you need to somehow made a guess when the drives fail. You do not. Keep track of the health and writes per day and you will get a good sense of how your system behaves. Run that for 6 months and you are infinitely wiser when it comes to this stuff.

I'm confused. The article states that the monthly feed is to remove ad targeting, which I assume means no ads. It does NOT say that they won't collect data on you, just literally that they won't use the data they collect to give you ads.

So this has nothing to do with opting out of data collection, just opting out of ads? That's the feeling I get from the article.

Edit. Well I guess I'm not confused, this is also the wording the Meta's post uses and definitely says nothing about opting out of data collection.

Probably working for some random company doing RnD, or at university. Kinda hoping I'd have phd by then but its not likely, contract is ending soon and I'll probably just find a job and never finish my thesis. Probably married as well, assuming fiancee keeps getting healthier. Third cat + dog is quite likely at that point. No kiddos tho.

I had one before but the light was so weak and if you were sleeping on the side with the back of your head towards it, it did nothing. Though to be fair I do have a smart light in my nightstand lamp to do the same, but it is more like extra.

Man, this made me remember that the win+period -window used to have a search bar in it. Loved it. Then suddenly I guess Microsoft thought that it was too convenient because it vanished.

Never used it but I can imagine it being better. Discord is annoying as hell. Point was that the commenter seemed to argue that you should not accept any compromises, which seems silly to me.

Lmao that website is terrible. Doesn't even tell anything what the app does just gives a link to apk in github. Also github page doesn't explain anything.

Is that weird somehow? You like a thing. Then the thing changes into something worse but there is a paid version of the thing which is still good. You decide whether you liked the thing enough to spend x amount of money on it.

... with a toothbrush?

You know you're not supposed to use steel wool as a toothbrush?

Smart lights to wake you up in the morning. Vastly prefer it to a normal alarm clock.
