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.

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.

I don’t even know what you could do to make the battery that awful that quickly and not be physically damaged. Like I’m legitimately baffled.

Maybe someone left it baking in the sun it’s entire life? I’ve never tried leaving batteries at like 140f (60c) all day. Honestly I’d really like to know how it’s physically possible.

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

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

32% battery health is impressive. I have phones that have kept on a charger for 4 years straight with better battery health. How the hell did they manage that?

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.

Also replacement OEM batteries have always been stupid expensive. User replaceable or not. And 3rd party ones have always been garbage with very few exceptions (RIP zero lemon 10,000mah battery for my note 3).

They deliberately slowed down phones with defective batteries to prevent them from randomly crashing. Which would cause a lot more people to complain than the phone being slower, but not turning off at 30%.

I only use it for stuff for me. If you do a real name it’s more.

Namecheap because I pay 88 cents a year for my domain.

POST is supposed to check all CPU cores and all RAM. It’s check isn’t perfect, but it does check them all.

It’s not even machine specific. UEFI vs legacy bios boot mode is universally supported in all but the latest systems. If OP had to switch to legacy boot mode then they probably made the USB “incorrectly”. You’d run into the same issue on windows if you made the USB boot drive for legacy bios mode.

OP isn’t asking for it to decrypt automatically. OP is asking for the entering the decryption password to also log you in. That way you only have to type the password once, instead of twice.

If someone with no experience installs Linux on their machine, and has to spend 20 hours fixing all of the problems they’re not going to stick with Linux. It doesn’t matter which distro it is, they’re just going to say Linux sucks and never use it again.

There’s a pretty big difference between trying to run software for X OS on Y OS, and trying to just make your computer do basic tasks. The average person doesn’t know that Nvidia are a bunch of assholes, nor do they care.
