Dell Boss N1 questions
  • From what I can tell this isn't going to function, mainly just due to the additional proprietary connectors on that Dell card. I imagine there's some sort of firmware integration as well though since it's got a data line coming off it too. Quick side question, is there any reason you're not just picking up some N95 boxes off Amazon? They're so cheap you'd pay for them in power savings vs this box alone and you could essentially treat it as a Raid 1 of the entire system with a handful of backup scripts.

  • Can we not do politics? I generally like the comics sub, but my exposure to politics on lemmy, social media, wherever is at such all time peak nonsensical levels that I just block all politic related subs, and would like this not to be one of them.

  • This comment is showing it's age haha. The civics that were built rock solid are not the civics of this generation, those aged out. Modern civics suffered from a range of issues that led to a good amount of them being retired. Ever increasing environmental standards and economic decisions impacted modern sedans reliability hard.

  • Maximum Yearly Extent of the Ozone Hole since 1979
  • Nothing is permanent. China started using untold amounts of cfls again and polar ice melts as well as human mining have released massive amounts of ozone destructive methane. There was good evidence of the damage slowing and reversing for a time, but we just kind of stopped caring around the time we had that massive global "climate change isn't real" psy-op.

  • Can the SATA-to-USB adapter affect the result of the bad sectors scan?
  • Any poor quality connector can affect a sector scan and drive performance. Doesn't matter if it's connected to a corroded usb port or a bent internal sata, at the end of the day if you're getting disk errors it's best to measure using two methodologies/data pathways.

  • Eat shit Spotify.
  • Due to the uniquely fucked up way music licensing works, it's likely they license the lyrics through a separate company than the music and probably don't even directly license it themselves (Tidal for example uses Musicmatch's lyric library and api). There's a cost associated with this that is likely outside their control. It's shitty, but it is plalusibly reasonable they implemented this as a cost savings measure.

  • Begging for all the Lemmy Audiophiles recommendations on computer speakers!
  • You might consider the Mackie Crx Cubes. They use bmr drivers that allow a wider Soundstage without needing as much physical space and can be had at a pretty reasonable price. Bass is lacking though, so allocate funding for a small woofer if you want the absolute best experience.

  • Anon thinks about Google
  • Not sure what made you assume I was an early adopter. Generally, after the pixel 1, I waited until the first few months passed just to get the discount they always had. You seem to make a ton of assumptions to pave way for some fine cognitive dissonance as they never "sorted out the stuff" in those phone models and if you bothered to research it instead of using your own experience as a defacto account I think you'd see that.

  • Glad you had a decent experience. That was not the case for me and many documented others. The bluetooth issues are particularly well known and plagued the whole series from 1-4, if you didn't use Bluetooth much it probably didn't phase you but holy shit it sucked. As far as nexsus devices go they were a crapshoot. My nexus 6p crashed week 3 and bricked into a boot loop. Google replaced it only for the replacement to do the same damn thing a month later. They had massive QC issues which meant you either got a fine phone or a shit one and a lot of people fell towards the latter.
