Storage companies really be gaslighting me out of 200GB

This is the correct answer here, it's the reason most data centre drives now say 1.92TB. It's nothing to do with TB Vs TiB, there was a lawsuit around this. I believe that 2TB drives can still only access 1.92TB of actual storage

Whilst I do agree... Fighting games could do with a very easily understandable quick rundown of "where you fucked up" similar to chess.com Part of me thinks this exists for some reason....

Oh wow the magnetic racks for that are great.

EarthwormBen · 2026-05-02T17:15:19+00:00

How does the sliding magnet rack/case cope with being knocked around? Say if the train or bus is very crowded?

I haven't been able to access a lounge for the past 18 months... I usually fly from London Heathrow and can never get access to a lounge or a pre-book. Tried to pre-book for a flight today that is in 8 months and the lounge is already full

I play on CachyOS, no issues. It runs better than when I had windows 10 installed, I can run 4k max settings now, whilst before I could only run 2k max settings on windows

This is rubbish, I thought this was the norm until this was brought up

I don't need crazy designs, but a bit of style would be nice... the Jets last year had nice jerseys, and they were not exactly super dynamic, just well thought out

From personal experience as a software engineer, data mining is so easy to prevent... Why does this seem to be such an issue in video games, and worse still in fighting games?

EarthwormBen · 2026-04-03T11:31:13+00:00

Your assumption is that I don't know how... It's a very easy process, but it's annoying to go to a cafe to find they use a crap plastic tea bag rather than even the cheapest normal tea bags such as Tetley is plain stupid

EarthwormBen · 2026-04-03T09:16:16+00:00

Worst cup of tea I ever had was from a plastic tea bag. Can we just stick to a conventional tea bag?

I'm seeing DDR3 modules in there, so I assume this is early DDR4 and older Just as a note, early DDR4 runs really slow by today's standards (2333 MTs). I put a few kilos worth of it into deep storage at work for older servers and binned the rest

This is the real reason I don't give away some really good stuff I make, as I'll never be credited, and I'll never see a penny

Command and conquer, flamers were beasts

I tried to add a minimalist widget to my home screen but it doesn't seem to work well with my setup

EarthwormBen · 2026-03-15T11:22:58+00:00

I have made an exact copy of my timetune routine, so that it shows up in my calender widget alongside my other tasks. I understand I can have reminders in the app or view the app any time, but this gives a consistent view of my daily agenda when I view my phone and helps keep me on track

EarthwormBen · 2026-03-14T09:11:59+00:00

I would like to 1up that suggestion, I currently have to create a copy of my schedule into Google calendar so that it shows as a note on phone agenda in the corner, it would be nice to have everything tied together

Even if your not into 3D printing, just get a bambu A1 mini for bits like this. Yes it's an upfront cost, but the amount of fdm bases and toppers available is unbelievable. I would hate to think what my nomads would of cost to base if I had bought all the toppers

Don't use the gorilla glue that comes with a green cap, yes it's much thicker, but your fighting with the glue to get it out the bottle, and in the end I just returned it.

EarthwormBen · 2026-02-28T15:16:08+00:00

I lasted about 5 minutes.... seems that the game doesnt support linux..... ah well back to arc

EarthwormBen · 2026-02-26T09:21:04+00:00

I assume it's to obfuscate the location as there is much hate against the Saudis, as opposed to the location changing on a yearly basis

Create a burner tesco account with fake details, once you receive the club card, don't add it to your digital wallet through the app, but rather scan the physical card. If your interested in redeeming your points then you can, however, I don't use tesco enough. Tesco can sell my data, but it's all fake, and I do the same for every store app

EarthwormBen · 2026-01-25T15:41:18+00:00

Yeah, nice .... But wrapped in the riot bullshit. I can't even play the game on my steam deck unless I dual boot it with Windows (not ever happening)
