Well I can probably get the Google APK one way or another. I’m just slightly afraid to install it.

Any trouble with or from the web view update itself?

The play store says it was just updated a few days ago. The comments are scary though. Yikes.

Only living people can win the prize. If they die between the announcement and the ceremony they still get it posthumously. I’m pretty sure that has happened now and then.

A lot are trekkers rather than climbers if that helps. Their environmental footprint is much smaller.

Yeah I’ve noticed that too and it’s annoying. I just delete the saved text and start again.

Meh. I’m holding out for wretched hive of scum and villainy.

You really have to see what the db is doing to understand where the bottlenecks are, i.e. find the query plans. It’s ok if it’s just single selects. Look for stuff like table scans that shouldn’t happen. How many queries per second are there? Remember that SSD’s have been a common thing for maybe 10 years. Before that it was HDD’s everywhere, and people still ran systems with very high throughput. They had much less ram then than now too.

Sounds like it would be nice if Savannah offered Forgejo hosting.

At least here in the US, lots of mobile phone plans have free or cheap international calls, depending on the countries involved. Example. Some home landline plans also have that. So far that has been enough for me on the few occasions when I’ve wanted to make an international call. If more frequent, I’d use a VOIP provider, maybe Twilio (I’m sure there are others too, but I know Twilio supports this and has a decent API).

VOIP providers will often also sell you inbound phone numbers in the destination country, if you want the other person to be able to call you from their landline without it getting rung up as an international call for them. Those aren’t always so cheap, but there are obvious use cases.

Oh I see. Yeah DVD drives generally use the same SATA interface as hard drives.

If you mean a 2.5" drive (laptop sized) then yes you can generally do that. 3.5" drives are usually 1" thick and won’t fit in a slim DVD drive slot.

Yeah I’m interested in the topic but am not up for watching an almost 2 hour documentary.

Hope they are vegan zombies.

Newegg doesn’t seem to sell the Crucial MX500 any more*, only the BX500. But if the 870 evo is comparable, I might get that, since I have a couple of MX500s now and am happy with them. I hadn’t realized that Team Group was legit at all! I’ll keep that in mind. Thanks!

*Note: The MX500 appears on Newegg’s web site, but the actual sellers are “Newegg Marketplace” randos rather than Newegg itself, and I prefer to buy directly from Newegg when possible.

I don’t think I can use NVMe in my old laptop but yes, otherwise I’d do so. ;)

Thanks, I think you have it right and that it’s not worth messing with adapters. The adapter was never about performance from my perspective though. It was about being able to keep using the drive if I eventually moved to a laptop with an M.2 slot.

QVO is QLC flash which has worse durability. I’m trying to stay away from it though maybe it works better now than it originally did. Hmm, I had thought that the drive I looked at a while back had HMB but was not NVMe. Maybe you are right and I didn’t look closely enough. I believe those SATA shells don’t work with NVMe drives.

The purpose of the cache is to improve latency and save SSD wear. It doesn’t help much with throughput as far as I know. Although if it’s on the host side, maybe it does.
