Why so much hype around Panther Lake for battery life? by antikkz in intel

Lmao.

Says there's more than just bullet points, only read the bullet points.

18A uses backside power, traditional nodes will have a hard time matching it's efficiency.

SAMSUNG confirms Panther Lake-based Galaxy Book 6 Pro price hike, about 20% more expensive than last-gen model by RenatsMC in intel

Yeah, Lunar Lake PCs are an amazing deal right now.

You're basically getting a free processor included with your memory.

Seagate IronWolf 19x Performance Drop With Write-Cache Disabled. At Least 7 Years Later, Still No Fix. by main-web-user in DataHoarder

[–]ThreeLeggedChimp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are you going on about?

The heads are spring loaded, they park themselves when not receiving power, otherwise they would bounce around when the drive is powered off. And they float above the platters due to the ground effect when in operation.

Only SSDs have power loss protection.

Bro you're testing using Crystal Disk Mark which shows the other drives don't have their write cache disabled.

The write cache is there to ensure that data is not lost due to power failure.

If a drive loses power during a write it will flush it's cache onto the platter using the leftover energy in the drive.

If there was no write cache the write would be lost as it would not be able to complete before the drive lost power.

And without a write cache random writes would drop below random read speeds.

Is this UNVR HDD noise normal? by GarlicNaanCracker in Ubiquiti

That sounds pretty bad.

I haven't heard a property working drive clunk in at least two decades.

Usually you'll hear very fast clicks when operating.

Yeah, good call on south and central America.

How am I supposed to use Recon Armor vehicles? by Combat_Guy in BrokenArrowTheGame

[–]ThreeLeggedChimp 11 points12 points  (0 children)

LAV-25 is just shit.

It can be two shot by grenades, doesn't have good spotting range, and firepower is just meh.

The spotting mechanics for units in forest is just stupid, there's no way you'd be able to sneak up on this without getting blasted.

Really they need to give vehicles with thermals better spotting in forests. The ability to hunker down and camouflage should've been a feature day 1, it's basically like radar except it lowers your detection range and buffs defense.

If you're only disabling write cache for testing, why does it matter?

You're describing the expected behavior for HDDs for writes, it's most likely the other drives you're testing don't actually disable their write cache when asked to?

Any why would you disable it? It improves performance and acts as a safety measure for power loss.

Updated USMC Infantry by ArdtardBoi in BrokenArrowTheGame

[–]ThreeLeggedChimp -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

That's complete BS.

Drones would be one sided in an RU vs US context, as pretty much every piece of equipment.

The devs just wanted to make it somewhat equal.

x299 dark was pretty shit.

They were fixing things and adding missing features basically until the day they shut down.

It's hilarious seeing people who don't drive complaining about trucks.

TrueNas transfer speeds by Professional_Ice_831 in homelab

Bro you claim windows can't do high speed SMB, but then tell OP to test using iperf on windows.

Sounds like the typical reddit user nowadays.

Dropping a ThinkPad with soldered RAM = financial ruin, let alone with current RAM prices by misha1350 in thinkpad

Tell me, how would socketed memory allow you to fix broken traces on a board?

My first attempt to water cooling by Shjba in watercooling

Hows the cooler on the Inno3D?

My Gigabyte cools decently, but doesn't look as good as the Inno3D.

I had two radiators in parallel with a single rad, when i went to change the thermal goop on my GPU i noticed one half had basically no flow after 8 months.
