I'm not in any way, shape, or form an engineer so I don't really understand the exact details of your post.
However, you post reminded me of a really good episode of a podcast called Hidden Brain. In it the host, discusses the topic of knowledge with a cognitive scientist.
At one point, they talk about how sophisticated technology has gotten that people don't know how to solve problems if that technology brakes, especially since technology is getting so good that it makes fewer mistakes. They use an airplane as an example in which an experienced pilot forgot how to get out of a nosedive and crashed the plane. On a smaller scale, the host mentioned that he has a hard time navigating if his phone's GPS doesn't work.
Its a really interesting listen if you have the chance.
Add the fact that he becomes a decent family man and you have one heck of an arc.
There's a hilarious canon scene where Vegeta proves to be a better dad than Goku (granted that doesn't take much)
Everything All at Once by Bill Nye. It's a great guide on how to make a positive change in the world from a scientific perspective.
Though it was written in 2017, I'd say it is more relevant now than ever.
Thanks for sharing! It looks like I'm going to need to avoid the Exos drives then
Oh I see. I hadn't thought that would be a problem but it makes some sense that home servers would differ from actual professional grade ones thus making the drives very different.
I had not heard of that. Thanks for the tip. Does it make them quieter?
Do you have the Ultrastar models that were made by WD? Or the ones before they were acquired by WD?
I was considering the Ultrastar line too but read they also cna be loud since they're meant for servers
Thanks for sharing your experience. And yeah, I forgot that reviews tend to be negative. I just figured since it's WD's own website they'd try to skew it to be more favorable.
Oh wow that sounds awful. I wasn't expecting it to be that bad. Thanks for the tip! I hadn't considered checking YouTube for sound tests.
Looking to upgrade my NAS hard drives. Currently have two 4TB WD Red Plus hard drives but I wanted to get some large capacity drives. Was looking into getting 16 or 18TB drives. My current drives are basically whisper quiet and have been running great since 2019 but I feel like it's time to upgrade the capacity.
The NAS is currently on a desk beside my computer. I don't have any cabinets to place it in and would prefer not to connect to it through Wi-Fi. Hence why I'd like for the drives to be as quiet as possible.
I was considering getting a Seagate Exos or Ironwolf (and buying used for the great price) but I've read users online saying they regret buying those models because of their noise. I was also looking at the WD Red Pro but WD's own website only rates them at 3.6/5 with most of the negative complaints about dead on arrival drives. Additionally 25% of all reviews are 1 star; both of which don't fill me with much confidence.
TLDR: What's a quiet and reliable hard drive recommendation for a NAS?
Would it be better just to go with the WD Red Plus at a lower capacity?
One Liter of Tears fits the bill.
It portrays the life of a real girl named Aya Kitou who develops a neuromuscular disease as a teen. It's an old film but great for making you think about the value and beauty of life.
There is a JDrama with the same name. The show takes some artistic liberties with the real story but since it has a longer run time it goes more in depth about the family dynamics and explores other plot lines.

You could just buy ice cream and cones separately and put them together whenever you want to eat one
Not exactly what you're looking for but it's also helpful to exclude results. You can do this by having a "-" with no space before a term you want to exclude.
For example, if I want to search for pictures of the dish "ratatouille" and not screenshots of the Disney movie, I would type "ratatouille - movie -Disney"
Edit: not sure why there's a space after my hyphens in the post. They're not there when writing.
Wasn't planning on reading since I don't care about Stellar Blade but thanks for the heads up. Article is hilarious.
Just a small note, you forgot to include quotes in your comment. Didn't realize you were quoting the article until I read it.
Leftover fries can be either air fried gain (but you'll need to flip them half way) or pan fried in neutral oil (tastier but less healthy).
Can't help with the other three problems.
I completely forgot about this video. Thank you!
What a fun question. Made me nostalgic for early social media days.

I purchased a 2022 ROG Zephyrus G14 around Christmas 2023. It had some issues with the screen being blank on boot but rebooting it once or twice did the trick. I should have known that was a bad sign.
After less than 1.5 years, it got stuck in a boot loop after trying to update the graphics driver. After unsuccessfully trying to restore it to factory settings, I took it to my local Microcenter for diagnosis. They're listed by Asus as the only certified repair shop in my area.
It seems the motherboard has died and would cost more than what I paid for it to replace. The tech also said this is a common issue with this model. A quick search online shows I'm not the only one with this problem.
TLDR: A bad experience with the 2022 G14 makes me want to avoid ROG and Asus for a while. Any recommendations for a similarly sized gaming laptop? I like the Legion 5 Slim 14. 5" laptop but can't find it anywhere outside ebay and with this experience, I'd prefer something with a warranty.
I had some memory foam earbud tips from Comply for my IEMs but I found that they would become too squishy or fall off the casing too easily. Which was a shame because brand new they feel amazing.
What are some of your favorite tips for IEMs? Looking to purchase some higher quality cushions.
Tried updating the voyager app on Android but I get this error message. Going from 2.24.0 to 2.24.1
Any help is appreciated!

Wanted to give my cousin (11) a handheld since he's never had a game console.
He saw my stepsister's PSP and was interested in it but she wanted to keep it.
Would like the system to be as simple as possible since he's not very tech savvy but also be able to play some PSP games since that's what piqued his interest.
Budget under $100 just in case he doesn't like retro games
I've got a lot of devices that need to plug into an outlet at my desk. Right now, I have 2 surge protectors completely full.
I wanted to get a smart surge protector to auto turn off/on devices I don't want left on all the time (ex: speakers, monitor, DAC/AMP, printer). But the smart surge protectors have fewer outlets than my current one.
My question is, how do you manage your outlets when you have a lot of devices that need to be plugged in? I don't want to have 3 surge protectors plugged into the wall. I'm already drawing a lot of power in my home office with my mini fridge also plugged in (on the opposite side of the room).
I've also heard of something called UPS. Would that be better than plugging it into a surge protector?
For those curios, the devices I have are:
- Two monitors
- Speakers
- DAC/AMP
- Router
- Modem
- Printer
- Ethernet Switch
- PiHole
- Solar panel monitor
- NAS
- Landline phone
- Backup external hard drive
I'm looking to replace my old Netgear Nighthawk with a new router. Currently my house does have some dead zones which we make up for using a powerline. But the powerline isn't always stable and we have to switch wifi networks depending on where we are in the house.
My question is, is it better to get a mesh network or a standard router with either range extenders (ex: TP-Link OneMesh) or mesh features (ex: Asus AiMesh)? I couldn't really find any article that listed the differences between mesh routers and standard routers with extendable features. They only compare mesh routers with standard routers.
More info:
Preferably, I would like to go with the standard router for the higher speeds and extra ports but I'm afraid that won't solve our dead zone issues. Also, buying two or three standard routers is way more expensive than a mesh network with multiple satellites.
Speed and signal strength are important for me since both I and my brother WFH and do online gaming. Unfortunately, the home office (where the router is) and bedrooms (where we game and where my brother works) are on opposite sides of the house. Another note is that when the garage opens, my brother loses signal in his room for some reason. I haven't experienced that despite being closer to the garage than him
I wanted to get my mom YouTube Premium for her birthday but don't want to pay the ridiculous annual price for my country (especially since she mostly just watches YouTube shorts). She uses an iPhone so trying to get adblocker would be too much of a hassle, especially if it stops working. She won't be able to figure out how to fix it.
I've tried using account sellers in the past but the last one I used had some issues and now I can't add my mom's YouTube account to a different family account for another year.
I am able to use a VPN to buy premium for cheaper from a different country but they require a credit card for that country. Is it possible to get a virtual debit/credit card for different countries?
