No USB cable has “gigabit speed”. It probably has 480 Mbps (USB 2.0 standard).
Maybe he meant a 5 Gbps Gen1 cable. That would be “gigabit speed” but still rather slow by today’s standards and won’t support DP. They are pretty cheap these days, so wouldn’t be suprising to see left over stocks being sold as charging cables.
That sounds like a dedicated charging cable. So yeah, they will (if at all) only transfer data slowly and not support any extras features like displayport.
You won’t find these symbols on most devices though (certainly not on any macbook as the picture suggests).
Dumb monitor > smart TV.
I grew up with rechargable AA and AAA batteries. They were great at the the time. But I only have one device left that uses them, some at least 12 year old logitech keyboard.
Just recently bought a fan with a remote control (Don’t have an AC, so you really need at least that). I had to buy some AAA batteries for the remote. Haven’t used those in close to a decade.
Ok, I’ll bite.
Now I’m not an apple fanboy, I have a macbook and this mouse, but no iPhone, iPad or even an apple ID. I’m also not claiming that this is good design.
But there is also nothing wrong with that mouse. The previous model used two AA batteries, which I think is worse. I do still have some of them around, but I use them rarley and sometimes forget to restock. So with it being rechargeable, at least for me, there is less risk of ever running out of battery. And the battery lasts like 3 months on a full charge. It also charges quite fast so it’s really hard to get that thing depeleted. Just plug it in everytime you take a shit and you’re good. You can charge it for like 2 minutes and you’re good for 2 days. The issue is a meme only.
The only real problem I have with it is that it uses the stupid lightning port. If they’d just make it USB-C then I could ditch my lighting cable all together.
The reasoning is that drives are produced and shipped in batches and if you order multiple at onces there is a higher chance you’ll get drives from the same batch. If that batch had some fault during production or it was damaged during shipping, all your drives might be affected.
I don’t have a source, but it’s something multiple expirenced people have mentioned to me.
Ah, my bad.
I’m using Synology/DMS and there you have a pretty neat GUI that lists newly detected drives and let’s you assign them to your storage pool and rebuild the raid. I’d expect it to be quite similar on software like TrueNAS Rockstor.
My first question is about different drives. Could I purchase two different brand drives and use them with btrfs? (I assume yes)
You can.
2nd question: how does the replacement process go? Like if drive A died, so I remove it, and put a brand new replacement in. What do I have to do with btrfs to get the raid 1 back going? Any links or guides would be amazing.
Depends on what NAS/Software you have. If your NAS supports hot-swaps you can just pull out the defective drive and plug in another. Otherwise you’ll have to shut it down, swap the drive and turn it back on.
If you have already have the spare drive ready and you have slots availible, you can run a “hot spare”. This way you can even start the raid rebuild if you’re not physically near your NAS (like when a drive fails while you’re on holiday or sm).
All of that can be achieved with digital media.
Not an American. I just remember them from the South Park episode that made fun of them and Blockbusters in 2012.
Wait, they still existed to this day? That’s impressive.
I’m running a plex server on my NAS and use plexamp to stream music.
I payed about $350 for my 20TB drives, which at the rate offered here would pay of in less then 3 months. Add some overhead in for a NAS and some extra drives for a raid and it still easily pays of in half a year.
Shitty deal.
I’m pretty sure my macbook is an apple device.
edit: Found it!
option + shift + “+”.
Doesn’t work, just makes a “ˆ” for me.
I don’t use the app store, so Apple doesn’t really have a say.
Imagine caring about the colour of speech bubbles and calling it “bullying”. Some people can’t be helped.
I meant that no USB standard actually has exactly 1 Gbit/s. I even mention that next one if 5Gbit/s. Just a misunderstanding I think.
