The alternative is to just keep getting fucked by Microsoft...

The communities are very small on Lemmy, I gave search terms to use here and elsewhere instead. Also I just can't be assed to link them.

It's such bullshit too because drastically changing someone's working conditions is clearly a constructive dismissal and should lead to severance payments.

Sounds like you want smart devices, wearables, DIY electronics, home assistant, etc.. "Technology" communities are pretty much always about the tech community and not the actual tech itself.

Yeah Intel really needs to recall these things. This shit isn't right.

Those are tough requirements to meet, I'm not sure there is a low power CPU that can do it all. You would likely need to cluster some devices but that means you need a separate NAS anyway and that kind of defeats the purpose for your case.

It will put it into "safe" parameters, but I mean you should give it an additional undervolt to increase its longevity.

Man so many SBCs come so close to what you're looking for but no one has that level of I/O. I was just looking at the ZimaBlade / ZimaBoard and they don't quite get there either: 2 x SATA and a PCIe 2.0 x4. ZimaBlade has Thunderbolt 4, maybe you can squeeze a few more drives in there with a separate power supply? Seems mildly annoying but on the other hand, their SBCs only draw like 10 watts.

Not sure what your application is but if you're open to clustering them that could be an option.

I ran an AMD Phenom II x4 955 Black Edition for ~5 years, then gave it to a friend who ran it for another 5 years. We overclocked the hell out of it up to 4ghz, and there is no way you were getting gaming performance that good from Intel dollar-for-dollar, so no AMD did not suck from Core 2 on. You need to shift that timeframe up to Bulldozer, and even then Bulldozer and the other FX CPUs ended up aging better than their Intel counterparts, and at their adjusted prices were at least reasonable products.

Doesn't change the fact AMD lied about Bulldozer, nor does it change Intel using its market leader position to release single-digit performance increases for a decade and strip everything i5 and lower down to artificially make i7 more valuable. Funny how easy it is to forget how shit it was to be a PC gamer then after two crypto booms.

You're in it. Get those bios updates and look into undervolting your CPU ASAP.

Same. I always wondered how ideas like giving what you can, loving thy neighbour, and forgiveness to the extreme somehow results in Supply Side Jesus, "Protestant work ethic", jail time for addictions, "law and order" politics, etc..

These people have strayed so far from the teachings and I'm not sure how they can claim to follow them and then blame homeless people for being homeless.
