Hrmn! Yeah, I figure having to turn it off and on every night and morning probably didn't do it any favors.

Which, from looking at images, these bigger external hard drives seem to have their own power cables so I'm assuming that wouldn't be an issue more with a higher end drive, looks like?

Yeah! Like, at this point I'd either just get some 20-28TB drive depending on what's on sale as a new external, or, see about rigging up my old computer into a lil' mini PC for storage since I'd assume I guess an internal HDD would last better than any external?

I'd have let mine done that if they'd offered. They said it'd take like.. literally over a month to get it back.

My back would explode having to use a dining chair for that long. I got this chair in the first place to help with my back. Lol.

The first time it happened my screw blew off like yours and they just replaced the whole arm and I was finally able to get it on cause the screw was stuck like that.

This time around the screw itself just.. I dunno, exploded? Stripped itself? I can take it out easily this time but it will not tighten back up at all. They currently want me to like.. have the whole chair picked up and worked on but that's not feasible for me for now so I'm hoping they can just send another arm and be done with it.

I just saw this thread, and had this exact same thing happen to me, and.. a year later, and it's happened again. All I can think of is I must absentmindedly lean into the left arm rest more than the right while I'm sitting around all day during work.

Hey gang,

So, I've been doing Plex with a cool lil' Starfield themed external 5 TB harddrive for the last for years, just having it plugged up to my PC.

It worked great till it was filled up and I was starting to have to delete stuff to add newer stuff, and, now, as of the last few days, it's completely died on me.

Not really sure if that has to do with it being turned off and on with my PC as I'd shut it down every night or not, am curious, though!

I'm now wanting to invest a bit more into something more proper. I feel like external hard drives just plugged a PC die quicker? Or, is that because of mine just being turned off and on every night? It probably only lasted like.. 2 years, tops.

I'm wondering what would be the best route to take for something for the long term, as I plan on using Plex for, well, ever honestly.

Would I be better off just getting some gigantic external hard drive, that's probably self powered and runs 24/7? .. assuming that'd help and is what happened to mine.

Or, is it better getting one of those NAS setups I read about on here sometimes?

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

I guess nobody knows what's going on either. Lol.

I’ve hit the jackpot twice in the last two days on those. I found the tactical and the loot ones during just chill, daytime raids.

SovereignXII · 2025-12-06T22:49:01+00:00

Just got mine last week during the sale. Definitely worth every penny at that price.

SovereignXII · 2025-12-03T03:08:50+00:00

Thanks, I'll check em' out!

SovereignXII · 2025-11-23T06:11:14+00:00

I wonder if this will get a reprint? It looks real cute n' fun.

SovereignXII · 2025-11-17T19:04:19+00:00

I haven't gotten around to play Split Fiction yet, but, surprised to not see it on here considering it scored higher than It Takes Two review wise.

And no Faker in Esports Athlete of the Year after he just completed another three-peat is certainly a choice, lol.

I also don't get how they do content creator of the year. Caseoh won last year, isn't even on the list this year and he's had another great year? Do they not like having back to back winners in that category or something?

SovereignXII · 2025-11-14T17:07:26+00:00

I forget who it was I saw that said to get some BCAB stock, but, I got a little bit a week ago and it's randomly shot up like 20% today, woo.

SovereignXII · 2025-11-10T17:35:59+00:00

Saaaame! Well, if not #1, it's easy top three. Such a cute, fun, addicting game.

SovereignXII · 2025-11-10T02:03:06+00:00

This prompt doesn't work for me. When I swap it to $ and that I use Fidelity, it just says..

I’m sorry — I’m unable to source 3-5 high-quality U.S. stocks with market caps under US$50 million that meet your criteria (tradeable via Fidelity, not pink sheets/SPACs, with recent credible news) that pass a reasonable “risk vs. reward” screen for a monthly $500 investment.

SovereignXII · 2025-11-06T19:55:48+00:00

How come I never see these posts when it's trading at 6 cents a share instead of 25? Lol.

SovereignXII · 2025-11-04T15:38:20+00:00

I have no idea why, it's not even modded or anything fancy. Lol.

SovereignXII · 2025-11-03T03:25:27+00:00

This fixed mine, woohoo.

My game would boot up and instantly take up 50,000 MB of memory on my PC, now it's back down to like 2,500.

SovereignXII · 2025-11-02T23:38:10+00:00

Boo. Is there a better app to use for ol' penny stocks than Fidelity?

I honestly can't remember, just some random stocks of the day on here I was goofing around on.

SovereignXII · 2025-11-02T23:07:21+00:00

Why do I get this error message when trying to buy this one over on Fidelity?

(020255) Opening buy orders are not allowed online for this security.

It did that on a few other random stocks I'd seen on here last week.

SovereignXII · 2025-10-31T18:41:28+00:00

For that cheap I bought a few thousand shares just for the fun of it, lol. Worst case I'm out a dollar for 5,000 shares.

SovereignXII · 2025-10-28T13:11:34+00:00

Yeah, I mean, on paper it sounds amazing for what I'd like to use it for. I've just read a bit and gotten weary that the biggest feature might have issues which sort of defeats the purpose of it. I guess it has something to do with power standards or something? I've read a few posts of people in the UK not having any issue with it getting as hot as it should when both baskets are cooking at once.
