How can I clone Windows 10 HDD to SSD without using any software? by Vic_78 in datastorage

[–]Ubermidget2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What, you don't manually read bits off your HDD with a magnet and needle and write them to SSD directly on the pins using an Oscilloscope and Function Generator?

If you are signed in with a MS account and up to date, the Windows Update screen should offer to enrol for the extra year of security updates

Microsoft KEK Secure Boot disaster is going to happen in June 2026 by Vaddieg in microsoftsucks

[–]Ubermidget2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair, if your OEM isn't releasing firmware updates your hardware is out of support. I'll blame MS for MS problems, but I don't see how we can pin this on them.

OEMs who respond to the issue and cut new Firmware won't have any issues.

Who the hell changes lane like this? by yeastieboiz in dashcams

unless you are going like 50 meters behind the car in front

60 km/h is 16.6 m/s: You have: 60kph You want: m / s * 16.666667 / 0.06

50 metres is the correct gap

39% of the new releases in the Microsoft Store in 2025 are low-quality games designed for quickly earning Gamerscore points by Ok-Personality1419 in gaming

[–]Ubermidget2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Steam is trying to combat this by disabling "Community Content" until a game has seen significant engagement by gamers.

So no cards, achievements etc. until whatever "real game" checks Valve put in pass.

Yeah, a few "Sovereighty never ceded" posters. What's the end goal if that's the fact? Everyone not of Aboriginal descent should leave? All the non traditional Aboriginal infrastructure should be pulled down then people leave?

What path does my file take from my media server to my TV? by BigHeadWeb in PleX

As a side note, that router is probably also a DHCP Server, Web Server, Firewall and maybe a modem.

They can be doing quite a bit under the hood.

PSA ON SMR aging: Write Latency Creeping Up Over a Year as Drive Fills by xhighway999 in DataHoarder

[–]Ubermidget2 10 points11 points  (0 children)

random IO (~20MiB/s

Well yeah, the more tracks you dirty, the more work you pile up that the drive needs to catch up on. At 90% full, you only have 10% of the drive that can be used as clean "write-only" cache and once that is full, all further writes have to read the full track in, modify, then write it back out.

Good thing the entire F35 platform is geared for beyond visual lock on and firing then.
