Do you still use regular HDD's? Why and what for?
  • @datawraith I haven't used disks in anything other than a NAS for 12 years now. Even now I'm replacing ones that fail and rebuildiing the array with a new one, just a couple months ago. Another generation of SSDs and I think I'll be able to finally retire my NAS and move all my storage to SSD, which will be a relief tbh.

  • YouTube is testing a more aggressive approach against ad blockers
  • Honestly if I had to sit thru ads to watch youtube videos I'd stop watching. I have 300+ subscriptions and after 15 years, can barely stand to watch more than a couple of them anymore. It's just not that interesting anymore.

  • Nikon announces Z 180-600mm F5.6-6.3 VR and Z 70-180mm F2.8
  • Interesting that at no point that he mentions the sony 200-600. It seems to me like they're very similar, would love to see a comparison.

  • What's the age cut off for socially acceptable gaming
  • 53 here, not playing online multiplayer anymore (frustrated with being unable to compete at the same level due to work stress, and time commitments in general), but I do have 4 digit hours of Civilization. Thinking back, almost 20 years ago I got anti-gaming vibes from my peer group. Fuck 'em, do what you want.

  • What will you do if reddit undoes API changes?
  • I've had my account on reddit for well over 17 years, was in the first 1000 users to register, but regardless of what they do I'm mentally working thru deleting it. I will soon.

    Reddit in 2005/6 felt much like this place is now.

  • What mobile games are keeping your attention these days? (Preferably iOS compatible)
  • Shattered Pixel Dungeon. Turn based so you can pick it up and put it down. A lot of depth and learning how to exploit the items to best effect. Random level generation, so good replay ability. Fixed price, no monetization.

  • Techradar Just Shouted Out Beehaw!
  • Slashdot is the pre-cursor to digg and reddit in a lot of ways. It's problem was people wanted freedom to create communities and submit posts whereas /. wanted to be able to control what appeared on their site. Both digg and reddit were responses to that aspect of slashdot. That, and their moderation system tried to be democratic, sharing the load amongst users, rather than installing mods (which ultimately was a failure imo).
