linuxPIPEpower, to linux in How to speed up accessing lots of files on another computer? Some kind of local cache?

Do you mean take the board out of this case and put it in another, bigger one?

I actually do have a larger, older tower that I fished out of the trash. Came with a 56k modem! But I don’t know if they would fit together. I also don’t notice anywhere particularly suitable to holding a bunch of storage; I guess I would have to buy (or make?) some pieces.

Here is the board configuration for the Small Form Factor:

I did try using #9 and for storage and I seem to recall it kind of worked but didn’t totally work but not sure of the details. But hey, at least I can use a CD drive and a floppy drive at the same time!

I’m a millennial, I don’t really recall phillips screws getting universally worse over my lifetime. I’ve torn the drive out of a LOT of them over the last three decades.

What I have seen is Phillips holding still while the rest of screwology improves around them. Take an impact driver and blast in a few 3.5" Torx deck screws, then try to install a Phillips head screw and see if you can keep the word “bullshit” from coming out of your mouth.

There’s also the issues of Pozidriv and JIS, which both superficially resemble Phillips but are different and work VERY poorly if turned with a Phillips driver.

Home appliance enshittification is real though. I’m running my Kenmore 80 series for as long as I can.

ICastFist, to games in No Man's Sky Orbital Update brings full ship customisation and a complete space station overhaul

probably one of the best space games ever made

Don’t stretch it. Maybe it could be in a top 10, but when you have the likes of Elite Dangerous, Space Engineers, X4, Freelancer, plus little known indies like Empyrion Galactic Survival and Evochron Legends, it’ll hardly be anyone’s top choice.

laverabe, to world in China is building its military on a 'scale not seen since WWII' and is on track to be able to invade Taiwan by 2027: US admiral

All of those problems are because of political corruption, not raw money in/out. The US spends 3.5% of GDP on military, a lot, but not the most. Ranked globally for military spending per GDP. Russia spends more than the US.

US is not Rome, at least not yet, or anytime in the immediate future.

Revan343, (edited ) to canada in 'Plan in advance': Eclipse glasses are hot sellers ahead of rare celestial event

Yes, I read the article.

Most welding glass will not be or . If it’s meant for stick welding, it’ll be [Edit to add, #7 was still common when I was welding stick, but is not recommended even for that, it was old-timers who were used to 6011 rods] #9 or at the darkest, far too light. If for MIG it will be darker, -13; I set my shield to . TIG glass will be the darkest, and ideal.

Oxyacetylene cutting masks will be between a #4 and #6. Don’t watch the eclipse with those. Plenty of people will though.

Sunglasses, for reference, are typically going to be between a #1 and #3 shade. Definitely don’t stare at the sun through those

Starfield design lead says players are "disconnected" from how games are actually made: "Don't fool yourself into thinking you know why it is the way it is" (www.gamesradar.com)

apparently this is in response to a few threads on Reddit flaming Starfield—in general, it’s been rather interesting to see Bethesda take what i can only describe as a “try to debate Starfield to popularity” approach with the game’s skeptics in the past month or two. not entirely sure it’s a winning strategy,...

DonnieDarkmode, to gaming in Starfield design lead says players are "disconnected" from how games are actually made: "Don't fool yourself into thinking you know why it is the way it is"

I genuinely wonder how much it matters though. From online discussions you’ll see that Baldur’s Gate 3 is beloved by fans and held up as a benchmark for community engagement and listening to player feedback. It won GotY, had a launch far beyond anything the devs expected, and got incredible rave reviews.

But if you look at the top 20 best-selling games of the year, Starfield is despite a lukewarm reception, numerous issues, and being accessible via Xbox Gamepass, while BG3 isn’t even on the list.

I think it really brings into perspective just how small a minority the people who post online about these things are, regardless of platform. Maybe the Gamers don’t know jack about your job, or maybe all their criticisms are 100% right. If it sells millions of copies either way, who cares?

The occasional salty dev, I guess
