"So it's like a pyramid, but upside down"
ZFS doesn't have fsck because it already does the equivalent during import, reads and scrubs. Since it's CoW and transaction based, it can rollback to a good state after power loss. So not only does it automatically check and fix things, it's less likely to have a problem from power loss in the first place. I've used it on a home NAS for 10 years, survived many power outages without a UPS. Of course things can go terribly wrong and you end up with an unrecoverable dataset, and a UPS isn't a bad idea for any computer if you want reliability.
Totally agree about mainline kernel inclusion, just makes everything easier and ZFS will always be a weird add-on in Linux.
Thank god we have crypto bros like Sigma G and Sina_21st to get the inside scoop on the Chinese rural bank loan crisis.
I've been using my Sennheiser HD 598 s for over 10 years. I'd recommend anything the same shape/size: being large over ears means it doesn't touch or squeeze your ears at all. Being open backed and velvet padded stop my ears getting hot and sweaty. Being wired saves weight, prevents lag/quality concerns and isn't too big a deal in a stationary gaming situation.
I do need to use an external mic for chatting, which is not ideal if you're gonna be always in voice chats when gaming. Dedicated gaming headsets tend to not sound as good for the same price, but can't deny the convenience.
Here is a recent rundown of recommendations by audiophile youtubers for gaming headphones might be worth watching. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UIwgVzSiZ68
I've dabbled in a couple recently, xTTS v2 in Coqui sounds pretty good and is pretty quick. Especially if you use one of the built in voices. Has a weird "only for non commercial use" licence if that bothers you.
Telcos are acting like switching off 3G is no big deal, since LTE has been around since 2012, get with the times! VoLTE has only been around since 2016, and even then, was limited to approved models. And only worked if you bought the phone directly from the telco. And only if you had postpaid plan. And only if your account had a “VoLTE enable” flag set by calling them.
To this day, when it doesn’t work phone makers and telcos will point the finger at each other, leaving customers with no clue who to chase for a solution. All parties still act like VoLTE is a nice to have and not a requirement. I really believe the rush to deploy 5G was to have the pretence to shut off 3G and force customers to buy new phones.
I had to root my phone, then use diagnostic serial access to the Qualcomm modem and Russian software to make VoLTE work on my 5G 2020 phone. I fear BYO mobile plans are dead now, buying direct from telcos is the only way they'll help you be able to make calls on your phone.
A lot of desktop motherboards have a slot for a M.2 WiFi card like that AX200. Usually though they already come with a card anyway. You can often also use the same ssd/HDDs going from laptop to desktop. CPU, RAM, and GPUs are different sizes and connectors though, and won't be transferrable.
Main thing for choosing a mac is the personal preference for the OS / interface. Its not totally better than Windows, there's pros and cons. You have to really want it to pay for the overpriced hardware. Even second hand they retain a lot resale value.
Fair phone is awesome but keep in mind it uses a very slow IoT CPU, the Qualcomm QCM6490. I don't know how intense MTG arena is but check reviews for comparisons before buying if that's a big part of your phone needs.
They can be a bit finicky. Make sure they are lined up then use a bit of pressure to click in. Careful they don't move out of alignment when pressing down. People sometimes rip the sockets off when detaching, it's quite a snug fit.
I found it easier to connect them on a flat table before screwing in the card.
Main thing is the lug width. You could get a few straps on the smaller side and they'll fit inside bigger lugs, just not look ideal.
Something that can be worth buying in person, even a mall key/watch repair stall would have a variety of types and sizes on hand and can find you something suitable on the spot.
I didn't know about Until the End of the World (1991) till recently. Can't say it was worth watching, but bounty bear was amazing.
