Fucking exactly this. We have levels of corruption, inequality, poverty, etc on par with countries like Brazil but our violence stats are compared with countries like Norway.

Nobody should be okay with taking away personal defense options when every day we see corrupt, inept, and abusive police officers with guns that we should apparently depend on instead of ourselves with guns. It's absurd.

  1. Nintendo online is a lot like Xbox live. You can play single player without it (generally) but have to pay to get online/multiplayer

  2. yes, you can have multiple accounts on the switch each with their own save, without paying for online for all/any of them.

  3. I don't know if I'd guarantee that. Who knows what dumb services things rely on. If you want something that'll work maybe consider a more open ecosystem like that of the steam deck or its competitors

Lmao idk if "most" even holds up in fiction. Even the "good" cops in fiction tend to perform illegal searches, abuse suspects, break the law in countless ways to get the bad guys. How many times have we seen the "good guys" stymied by their inability to search a home but one turns to the other and sarcastically says "oh I think I heard someone scream for help lol" kicks down the door?

Sometimes they have a conscience but I'd call very few fictional cops "good"

  1. RAID for uptime, backups for data you care about. RAID(1+) will keep your data online when a disk fails, but backups are the real way to keep data around if shit hits the fan. For a personal media collection, you might be better served with a non resilient RAID0 (total failure if one drive fails) with a backup around to recover from when that happens. If you do e.g. a raid5 you lose 1 disk of capacity in exchange for 1 disk of resiliency, raid6 same but 2 disks. That gives you some safety but there are a lot of instances where those raids don't save you from losing all your data. If you buy 4x 18TB drives, you could have 36TB from the 1st two drives and then backup to the other two drives.

  2. There's no specific type of drive to worry about unless you're doing RAIDs especially with ZFS. Search shingle RAID rebuild for the biggest thing to worry about there.

  3. Almost always, yes. Slow drives throttle the rest.

  4. I've never used them but people say good things about synology most of the time. Everything comes with a cost and it's hard to make any sensible recommendations without knowing your constraints; primarily your budget.

Lmao holding deep fried scraps up as a shining achievement in cuisine is NOT helping your case

I'm not convinced many of the grips pictured actually work to pick things up with the chopsticks, much less grip something weighty with them

Seems like it'll be cold

In a way I agree, there has to be a major deterrent for this level of negligence. That said, "ruin their life" isn't IMHO the right way to go. I'd be happier if they kept living a productive life, but they'd better be supporting the people who depend on me.

You want them to learn their lesson but how do you do that without ruining lives? How do you do it before they kill two people? I think that level of change has to be governmental and even cultural. Reducing dependence on cars, increasing how seriously driving is taken, etc

They're weight-limited rather than space-limited

Driving two 4k monitors at 10b120hz is pretty overkill to use thunderbolt for, is kind of my point. Is anyone actually being limited by that?

Even with cameras, the storage generally isn't that fast. CFexpress cards cant generally break 2GB/s, and even 8+k cameras generally record to that or maybe USB-C (and if you're recording to a USBC device you're probably just gonna use USBC instead of thunderbolt).

NVMe that can do sustained write speeds like that will be full in a few minutes, unless you're offloading to a massive high speed array over 10+gbit networking it just kind of seems like why bother?

Don't get me wrong, I like the idea of going to faster interfaces for the sake of speed, but I have experienced almost zero real use of thunderbolt in real life, and I usually keep a pretty good eye out. My real question was mostly focused on whether there are people actually using thunderbolt and if they're actually limited by 40gbps and I'm kinda just bitching at this point
