I picked up an old Dell server some time ago and wound up finding firmware that made the RAID card passthrough so that TrueNAS could have direct access to disks for ZFS
That server was all SATA based so I’m not sure what options you’ll have, but it’s worth looking into.
Ultimately, my thinking is that just because there’s something “better” out there doesn’t mean you shouldn’t work with what you have.
I’m also white and have also technically benefited from colonialism, lol.
The problem with yours and @fishos@lemmy.world line of thinking is that you are looking at that 90USD / 30USD through the lens of your own earning and buying power.
For someone in your hypothetical “poor African country”, that may well be days or weeks of income.
Both of you seem to be having a strong reaction to that statement, I get the impression I’ve struck a nerve and that you might be facing (and rejecting) an inconvenient truth.
I’m sorry if it came across as an ‘attack’, that was not my intention. I’m not here to massage anyone’s feelings, and hopefully you’ll be able to take some time for reflection and personal growth.
Ultimately, y’all in here simping for corps by excusing 100GB of inefficiency while getting down on “the poors” and it’s not a pretty look.
don’t shit on those of use who actually put effort into our hobby
A 1tb SSD is ~$90. It’s not some crazy ask
This take is very telling of the privileged economic background you come from. Totally out of touch with the reality most of your fellow humans live in.
I’ll be very surprised if you aren’t some white colonialist nepo-baby
When I looked into this I found that, for TrueNAS, using ZFS with RAW disks is generally preferable.
I wound up writing custom firmware to my hardware RAID card so that it would be effectively “transparent” and yield direct hardware access to the disks.
Kinda like medical equipment 👀
If there’s a 3D model / printable replacement, might be able to modify it with a bit of texture and have someone with a CNC mill it from aluminum
It’s probably better for the easily replaceable stick to be the “wear and tear” part rather than the soldered stick module underneath
That is wild, I don’t even recall anything using bluetooth that long ago. At the time, was this fairly niche tech for people who had palm pilots?
disingenuous for the developer to pretend this was a surprise
Given that the game is going to release on Epic Games Store, GOG, and Humble Store, I actually do find it surprising.
Steam / Valve seems to be the outlier here.
The description of the scene that got the game banned is not even remotely sexual, just a bit weird / uncomfortable which is the entire point they’re trying to make. And that scene is not even in the game anymore.
The KB5066835 Windows Update, left untreated, sliced AC Shadows frame-rates from 33 percent to over 50 percent. Determining exactly which other games have been affected is not easy or obvious, mostly because Nvidia has opted not to broadcast its own findings for us to test and confirm
But this scenario certainly has us scratching our heads as far as what kind of testing regimen and communication with GPU makers take place on at Microsoft these days. Did Microsoft’s October update expose a huge flaw in GPU drivers that OEMs needed to fix? If so, why was Microsoft unable to steward that information more responsibly to companies like AMD and Nvidia with weeks of woeful performance existing in the wild?
It doesn’t seem realistic to me for testing to include every possible hardware configuration with every single piece software in existence, let alone varying levels of function within those software.

Is it possible that their review form functions on some kind of script language that is commonly filtered by ad blockers?
Browsing the site on mobile / without an Ad Blocker, I’m not seeing any ads. Might just need to reduce the filtering level.
I seem to recall one of the early cross-platform competitive multiplayer games having full controller aim assist on PC, they had to dial it back because players were figuring out how to combine it with mouse input and ending up with such a massive advantage that console players were disabling crossplay.
My line of thinking is that games optimized for controllers will usually have sticky aim or aim assist, whereas those that maybe lack controller support won’t necessarily have those features.
Gyro adds that last little bit of precision that could potentially bridge the gap
Maybe you need a controller with motion / tilt support?
That’s quite a headline they’ve got there!
After provisioning a PC with a Windows 11, version 24H2 monthly cumulative update released on or after July 2025 [KB5062553], various apps such as StartMenuExperiencehost, Search, SystemSettings, Taskbar or Explorer might experience difficulties.
This will occur for the following: First time user logon after a cumulative update was applied. All user logons to a non-persistent OS installation such as a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) or equivalent as application packages must be installed each logon in such scenarios.
If you are wondering, provisioning essentially is the way admins configure devices as they automatically deploy various settings and policies on a client PC. So while the issue is in office PCs, considering a huge number of enterprise PCs are Windows, this is probably a very big problem.
I don’t see that very often in general, and it’s not that I don’t notice them because they do tend to stand out to me when they’re present.
I wouldn’t necessarily correlate that with a specific manufacturer, afaik the only laptop manufacturers that also make their own screen panels are Samsung and LG. Rest are using screens made by a small variety of other OEMs.

Between the three issues you mentioned, charge port are the most common I see with Acer whereas hinge issues are actually on the rarer side compared to other manufacturers.
With Acer, charge ports are pretty memorable since they’re soldered to the mainboard rather than being on an easy to replace daughterboard or cable.
Ultimately, charge ports issues are usually a user problem rather than a quality issue. There should always be extra slack on the cable when charging, the systems should be on a flat level surface, and the device should never be transported with the charger connected to the port.
Someone who has had repeat problems related to their laptop’s charge port is going to have a real bad time if they switch to a system that uses Type C ports.

This is not a typical experience, you have some kind of hardware issue or corruption / incongruities in your OS deployment.
Well, I stand corrected, I hadn’t been in the loop as to how deep this really ran.
They probably would have saved a ton of money and bad PR by just paying ANTIREAL for this work.
Just what community do you think this is?! I don’t come here for interesting, quality content and the wikipedia article doesn’t even mention anything about him shitting on a post!
