  • I’ve had “trash controllers” in Orico units which rewite the drive details which makes them annoying to work with but I’ve never heard of

    your drives will vanish in the middle of a write, and corrupt themselves

    That sounds likes its underpowered and when the draw is up the supply can’t handle it, which could happen for internal drives if your supply isn’t up to powering enough drives.

    Use a reputable brand like TerraMaster and you’ll not have those sorts of problems.



  • The plans come as low wind and solar power generation forced Britain to rely heavily on burning gas and wood pellets. As of Thursday, about 65% of Britain’s electricity was being generated from gas and biomass, with only 5.3% coming from wind.

    Is that because although we have built “a lot” its still not much, or has wind just generally been down and we should be over-provisioning to make up for these times?

    I thought that we’ve had a lot of wind recently, at least around here or is this a manipulation of stats because last Thursday was a low day and it helps set a narrative?

    I tried to follow the link but it was shit on mobile.






  • Yep, completely agree that its an Intel limitation.

    I didn’t see that about USB3 (my Intel system provides USB 3, and still has the 50 endpoint/25 device limit), I’ll take a look, however it sounds like AMD is just generally better.

    It’ll be a shame to lose Quick Sync, but it’ll probably be worth it.

    However this reiterates my thoughts about USB4, since it is a Thunderbolt derivative, and as mentioned in your link Thunderbolt doesn’t have these same limitations.
