Less than it would be if they expected you to go full ham 24/7.

Unlimited data for your phone, not your computer.

The carrier who’s paying for your traffic. You’re most likely going to use a lot more data on a computer than actually on your phone.

I’m pretty sure that’s only a theory and not something that’s ever actually been confirmed. That said people on /r/datahoarder have raved about those drives for 5+ years at this point, and so far all 6 of my drives have been going strong after 6 years of constant abuse.

What standby mode does your laptop use? Classic S3 standby, or S0 standby like most modern laptops are forced into?

Just know that higher RPM doesn’t necessarily mean higher noise. In my experience Helium filled drives can be pretty quiet, and basically all really high capacity drives are helium filled.

I have an arm of shucked WD drives and while I can hear them from time to time, they’re not bad. Also your case makes a huge difference. Make sure the drives are on rubber isolators, and what they’re mounted on can’t vibrate to make any noise. The only noise I hear from these drives is when they first spin up after being idled.

Is 5640 RPM acceptable? WD reds are all about 5400rpm and are basically the gold standard for NAS HDDs.

You can shuck them out of WD easy store drives sold at best buy. They’re white label drives from WD, but they’re all based on the red/red pro drives.

Not needing to pay money just to add some text to a PDF is a very nice feature. Especially since PDFs already open in Firefox by default.

Apple doesn’t have a monopoly though, there’s still Android. And outside of the US Android is more popular than iOS.

Are there any other virtual stores on the console? There’s obviously physical store fronts, but I’m pretty sure there’s only the one digitally on console.

That’s not necessarily what a “smart” device is.

Did you expect a doorbell with a camera built into it to not be “smart”?

Odds are your Linux install overwrote OCLP. You’d need to install OCLP again and configure it to boot from either Mac OS or your Linux install.

And with GPT partition you can have 128 partitions so ~120 different OSes easily on a single drive.

OP is using OpenCore Legacy Patcher to run an newer OS on an unsupported machine. The option boot menu won’t work, they’d need to get back to the OCLP menu to boot Mac OS.

Something along the lines of this

Supposedly easybcd supports efi now so you should be able to use that to do all the config.

Windows has a lovely “feature” where it installs the bootloader on a secondary drive if there’s one connected. It doesn’t install it on drive 1 and drive 2, just drive 2. I always disconnect all secondary drives before installing windows for this very reason.

That said you can configure the windows bootloader to recognize your Linux (or grub) and just use that to manage booting two OSes and it’s less likely to not destroy things.

Ryzen 5000 series chips are getting really cheap. 5950 may hold a premium. But Im you could find a 5900 for nothing soon and get 2x the CPU.

Ya know, I wish I could at least say something about being european and using commas instead of periods for decimal points, but I can’t even say that. Still 6MB fully installed is nothing these days.

Does the size of a 6kb program really make that much of a difference?

Side note: If I’m reading this right (ignoring dependencies) sudo is 6kb while doas is 14kb.

Modern gaming laptops with Advanced Optimus are switching back to a mux for everything.
