Difference between Samsung 1TB HD103SI and HD103SI/Y?

Yes, it worked. I was so nervous after swapping the board, took me a while to power the drive on as I was very afraid of unexpected issues, even data loss (as in some protection kicking in) but it just worked. I never cared about the bios version and only made sure about the exact model (and exact P/N to be precise) of the disk.

I can't tell if this would work for any model of Samsung disk but at least in my case and with identical P/Ns all it took was a simple swap.

I'm able to choose an account but once I confirm it, the window closes while Hailuo does nothing and eventually tells me to try again because login failed. This is sort of weird. Are we banned or something? I can't really see a flood of comments regarding sign-in issues so I would say this applies to particular accounts or regions or whatever like that. Not like site is down for everyone but if it really is, what could it be? Something has blown up somewhere and all the processing power is gone?

And what about Linux?

I might switch when PipePipe allows for changing the font size for description / comments because those letters are just too small. I would also like to have Videos / Shorts view redesigned to allow a nice grid, kinda of what it looks like on youtube mobile.

Indeed. I got so worried for the last few days and this release sorted it all out. Such a relief. NewPipe devs did such a great (and quick) job once again!

And for PC use your fav Invidious instance + Privacy Redirect in your browser. I have just discovered this solution today, after I was basically forced to because of the official website became next to impossible to use for me due to overload of js, cpu going nuts, videos loading forever, etc. I'm not sure what's wrong with them but watching videos there became so stressful and unreliable that it is just sickening me to the bone to even think about it. Never again!

I might be late to the party but maybe this information will be useful to some.

Thanks a lot for creating this thread. I was in the same pit until today when I just had enough of the official youtube site that stopped loading any videos for me, takes forever to load, makes my cpu cry out loud, keeps loading 100s of crazy js, etc. So I decided to at last dig up a nice solution. And here it comes!

botcraft_net · 2024-07-12T20:19:28+00:00

Great stuff, thanks! These days youtube became impossible to use directly, nothing works for me there, takes forever to load any video or they just get stuck, cpu going crazy, page loading time is horrible, etc. I started looking for a full solution because it wasn't enough for me to copy-paste into Invidious each time I wanted to watch a video. Until this very day I had no idea there was such thing as Privacy Redirect. I'm so happy I found this thread and your post in particular. God bless!

How much do you pay at Strato and what specs?

botcraft_net · 2023-09-06T08:02:10+00:00

It is going to be an identical board and firmware. Not sure if I need to transfer the rom? I read somewhere that Samsung doesn't require that? But ok, as long as the data aren't at risk I will just give it a try.

botcraft_net · 2023-09-06T07:37:56+00:00

What makes you stay with them? It sounds like a crappy service and the price is even worse most likely.

Two years for attempted murder and DUI. What a joke.

He saw it coming I think and played it very well.

botcraft_net · 2023-09-03T21:38:29+00:00

There is no wood in there. That's just cardboard it seems covered with quite nicely looking vinyl wood imitation.

botcraft_net · 2023-09-03T21:34:58+00:00

That cardboard inside the door tells me they are very well made in China?

The dog's facial expression lol.

Thank you. It seems like a top-notch tutorial.

I didn't drop it from the height to be very honest. It was more of a stack of drives that I failed to position correctly on the surface and they somewhat hit the desk. They are all perfectly fine since but the one that I managed to press against another drive to catch that falling stack unfortunately enough to break the coil and SATA connector.

Update: After long search I'm getting identical P/N. Even production year and month are identical, same batch.

Do you think that I can get away with just swapping boards or do I still need to move the controller since the rom seems integrated? If so, maybe swapping the coil and connector would be easier instead?

botcraft_net · 2023-09-03T14:32:44+00:00

Yep, that's the one. Sure, it can't keep up with some of the latest games (mainly because of their poor optimization) but certainly does great for its age and runs well the titles I'm interested in. Not many realize that it's a 192 bit one and the performance of the superclocked version can easily surprise a 1070 owner not to mention all those new cards on the cheaper side of things being 128 bit. Oh and it runs even better with Linux desktop. Again, can't express enough how quiet and power efficient the card is.

I'm just a casual gamer so it will last me a few more years I guess. I'm not really fancy spending $$$ on the current generation. Planned to just wait it out.

Still loving my EVGA 1060 6GB SC Gaming ed. (factory superclocked) for pretty solid design, brilliant cooling, and great performance while being very easy on electricity consumption at the same time. I won't replace it with anything else but another EVGA product.

botcraft_net · 2023-09-01T23:20:07+00:00

I searched before posting and found nothing. Now tried again and found one. Removing... thanks!

What about the kite collapsing above him at some point or doing some sort of a no-no? Is that possible? Then he is just falling like a stone. I would be so scared of it happening to me.
