It refuses to answer that question for me lol

Does Cromite have support for auto-filling from 3rd party password managers? When I last used Bromite, it couldn't so I never ended up using it as my main browser

What’s your use case? The majority of people will be fine without it so I was just curious if you were doing something interesting with it

I upgraded to the Pi4 but I use this case. It has a daughter board that lets me use an m.2 SATA SSD over USB. But any USB to SATA adapter should work fine

I’d bet $1 it’s the SD card. My 3B+ used to have the same problem. Been running pis off some sort of SSD ever since, no issues.

He posts infrequently but Sean Hodgins videos keep getting better. Don't let the thumbnails fool you, he puts a ton of work into them. It's hard to describe, it's mostly him showing off his projects but they have an analogue/80s cyberpunk feel in the way he tells his story, the music that's played, and how he edits the videos together.

In the US, corporations are people

I don’t know how to fix your problem but I am curious about it.

I assume you have an old iPhone tied to your iCloud account. What happens if you untie that phone and wait like a day (some iCloud stuff is weird and can take about 24 hours to update server side info)

Pretty sure you don’t need one. I’ll look into it later tonight and get back to you though

Edit: tried resetting my Apple TV with a throw away account not linked to other Apple devices. Worked fine

For all of Apple’s faults, their Apple TV is pretty decent. A home screen with apps on them; no ads. It’s great

Anti-cheat is still a major issue. Even in a VM with GPU pass-through, anti-cheat will still prevent some popular games from running.

 

I've been interested in building a DIY NAS out of an SBC for a while now. Not as my main NAS but as a backup I can store offsite at a friend or relative's house. I know any old x86 box will probably do better, this project is just for the fun of it.

The Orange Pi 5 looks pretty decent with its RK3588 chip and M.2 PCIe 3.0 x4 connector. I've seen some adapters that can turn that M.2 slot into a few SATA ports or even a full x16 slot which might let me use an HBA.

Anyway, my question is, assuming the CPU isn't a bottle neck, how do I figure out what kind of throughput this setup could theoretically give me?

After a few google searches:

  • PCIe Gen 3 x4 should give me 4 GB/s throughput
  • that M.2 to SATA adapter claims 6 ~~GB/s~~ Gb/s throughput
  • a single 7200rpm hard drive should give about 80-160MB/s throughput

My guess is that ultimately, I'm limited by that 4GB/s throughput on the PCIe Gen 3 x4 slot but since I'm using hard drives, I'd never get close to saturating that bandwidth. Even if I was using 4 hard drives in a RAID 0 config (which I wouldn't do), I still wouldn't come close. Am I understanding that correctly; is it really that simple?
