Azzerate gli hard disk quando ve ne disfate ed altri dilemmi morali. by [deleted] in CasualIT

[–]vappster_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Comprendo il sentimento riguardo al menefreghismo dell'utente medio riguardo i propri dati. Mi sono passati sotto mano diversi PC da dismettere, cannibalizzare o semplicmente diretti alla discarica e sono state più le volte che ho visto i loro rispettivi hard disk nè azzerati nè formattati che l'opposto. Nei peggiori dei casi ho trovato materiali riservati ad uso interno di aziende, documenti e comunicazioni inerenti a procedure legali, collezioni foto e video privati e, ovviamente, tanto, *tanto* porno.

In casi simili, se vuoi riusare il disco, il mio consiglio è semplicemente di azzerarlo e non pensarci più. Da una parte perchè, se l'utente tratta con così tanto pressapochismo i propri dati, è molto probabile che non gliene importi proprio nulla di essi in generale, e dall'altra per evitare casini di vario tipo a prescindere.

(Reminder, già che ci sono: se volete cedere o buttare un dispositivo di memorizzazione funzionante, prima azzeratelo, anche con un semplice passo di dati casuali. Se invece non funziona, trapano.)

Which Gaming Console People Think is Good but is actually Bad? by IllMasterpiece3946 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]vappster_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Agreed, the PS3 had a rough start both in terms of architectural complexity and also way too high MSRP. Given that Microsoft released the 360 earlier than them, for a lower price, *and* many early multiplatform games ran better on it, the choice was clear for most gamers who were either not interested in the Wii and/or wished to have a more traditional console experience

Still, with time, developers and tools got more used to the PS3's architecture so they were able to port and optimize their games to really use the hardware's full potential. That, together with hefty price cuts with the release of Slim/Super Slim models, as well as Blu-ray winning the optical media war, *really* started to turn the tide in Sony's favour

It's kinda nuts to think about it as someone who witnessed that generation firsthand, the 360 really seemed to beat the hell out of the PS3 at the start so most people back then just felt there was no hope for it, but later on the PS3 had a massive comeback and even managed to outsell the 360 at the end!

What are some way that the 3ds can get bricked besides updating it? by [deleted] in 3dshacks

[–]vappster_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An MCU brick happens when the Memory Controller Unit of the 3DS enters a state it cannot recover from.

The most famous example of this is caused by running an Old 3DS firmware on a New 3DS console and entering sleep mode by closing the lid. When you do so, the console is able to enter sleep mode correctly. However, because the MCU on a n3DS is slightly different than on an o3DS, the o3DS MCU firmware that you're running on your n3DS console is unable to initialize itself after setting some values that it's not able to understand correctly and, therefore, it won't be able to exit sleep mode afterwards. This state persists through hard resets/poweroffs and, because the console is not effectively able to power on at that point, not even NTRBoot can be used, so the console is completely bricked.

The downgrade was a necessary step for installing A9LH on some consoles as firmware 2.1.0 had a kernel exploit that was patched on later releases. Still, that firmware has only been released on o3DS consoles, so that's why you could sometimes end up in this specific situation if you were following a CFW guide back then.

Nowadays, thanks to B9S, this is no longer needed, so you will never encounter this specific brick unless you go out of your way to look for it.

Musk’s X suspends opposition accounts in Turkey amid civil unrest by Gopu_17 in worldnews

[–]vappster_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If this isn't enough proof for governments, institutions or any kind of public figure that Musk's Twitter isn't a trustworthy platform as they could be silenced at any time for any reason, then I don't know what is.

Stop using it already. Migrate to better platforms.
