that is also a really cool knife, better than mine again. I got a Dewalt switch blade, nothing fancying but it is sharp and it comes out of fast. Yours is sick though. You can tell yours is better quality. Still I like mine even though it’s not as expensive and fancy. Lrl
on another note I am going to buy a ring today. This is it:
When I get it I will post picutres. It’s cheap but I owned it before (lost mine when I was staying at a hospital) and looks pretty expensive/nice in real life. I will post picz when I get it. I liked this ring a lot. I am not/never have been married and single but it did look cool.
I can’t remeber my ring size either so I am going to the mall here locally in west Michigan to get my finger fitted in the mall later today.
Since we are talking about sharp blades here’s my machete as well:
All manufactured goods have failure rates. . . . some are inherently due to piss poor quality control and manufacturer screw-ups. If it’s too expensive to rework the finished product you ship it out the door anyways. This is what I’ve seen from prior experience in electronics. If you can’t fix the problem on the line and it’s too late to shut down the line. . . guess who buys the crap. . . you and I. I’ve had issues with Western Digital many years ago with hard-drives. Their solution to you was to RMA the old one and ship you out a ‘new’ defective one in it’s place. This happened to me 3 times. . . . I have never forgotten this. . . . just saying.
It takes one defective component on your motherboard to end it’s life. I’m still amazed that computers really work.
Well all i can say is that I’ve not seen that many issues with western digital drives that i have used in my own systems or any that i have built for others in decades of using their products.
Over time manufacturers fix their problems or eventually go out of business. . . Manufacturing and quality control is certainly better since those early days dealing with multiple ‘vendors’ that make your components for your finished products.
I’ll reply to this little topic since I go through drives like some change underwear.
I was a fan of WD’s for YEARS. The last ~5 years, many of the SSD’s they’ve released have, to an extent at least, changed my mind.
The WD Black SN750 was the most underwhelming SSD for high end pricing ever. Ran warm unless you put a heatspreader on it, was one of the most expensive, and even with a heatspreader, performance was BARELY classifiable as high end. My ultra-ultra-ultra-ultra budget Kingston NV2 (IYKYK) keeps up with the SN750 in reads, and is only a couple hundred MBps behind in writes. And this is not based on a sample size of 1 (well, the NV2 is). Not impressive in the least.
SN740/SN770 (2230). Same drive, just the OEM/Retail versions. Good performance for a (necessarily) dramless 2230 SSD. But hot and inefficient. Like, of all the 2230 “Gen4” drives available, it’s the WORST efficiency I’ve ever seen. Worse efficiency than some 2280 drives that have dram.
And the one I REALLY liked (SN810) as it delivered really good performance with excellent efficiency, is basically impossible to find actually for sale.
However, while WD is never a company that would be my first choice to purchase anymore, they’re still a reliable company, and the SN750’s replacement (SN850x) is a MASSIVE improvement in comparison to it’s competition, with FANTASTIC performance, and while not class leading efficiency, it’s in the upper echelons of it’s class for efficiency despite it’s incredible performance.
Actually I kinda have to agree with @LuigiP mate, WD has been sucking quite a bit lately, especially after those controversies where they were intentionally labeling their hhds wrong and stuff(think they even got sued for it), neah, I won’t touch them anymore, sorry. Lost all trust in that company.
I heard rumors that Rasberry Pi 5 was going to be introduced with 16 GB RAM. Evidently that was true. Also how do you like the Argon One V3 NVME case. Does it support M.2 NVME or just NVME SSD? EDIT: Just reread your post and saw #2 answered this END EDIT: Does it keep everything cool?
The case itself isn’t bad. However, neither the fan control script nor the script to make use of the power button work on Arch-based distros. So, for now, a physical jumper is set to keep it powered on at all times. To be fair, it’s supposed to be a server anyway, so this is fine. I’m not sure whether the fan has some residual functionality outside of using the fan control setup script. It sounds like it’s running constantly at a very slow speed. I haven’t tested it yet to see if it spins up under load. Temps are cool enough while idle. Around 35°C to 40°C.
Well, there was no infection at least yet. There was some sort of obstruction in the tract that vet had to remove with catecthre.
Of course cat had to be tranquilized which was quite a challenge (they had to put cat to this specific cage so they could give tranquilizer).
Since this was second time this happened (if you want to shock yourself with last bill, I have posted it here earlier) vet recommended special food that should prevent this kind of situation from happening again.
I’m going to go and get the food today, so be prepared for vailing song about the price of it…
