The Constellations were SAS Enterprise drives. They had a higher failure rate than the shucked WD consumer SATA drives in the same chassis.

Huh. Didn't expect to see this in my feed. Ended up buying a glass mat. The wheels were a minor improvement, but not good enough to actually roll the chair while I was sitting in it. Glass mat + wheel review? Slick as snot. It's like going from a ball mouse to a teflon-footed laser mouse on a...

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1063420/Void_Crew/ Most fun I've had in a Co-Op space game. Not sure if it's a game I'll get 100+ hours out of, but it's certainly worth the $20 or so they're asking. The most recent update makes playing solo possible to a degree, but the good times are...

I grabbed a 16TB WD drive to shuck from Amazon during Black Friday. One of the disks in my NAS had failed, figured might as well upgrade. <12 hours between ordering and having it on my doorstep. ...Yeah. Before I even got the package opened, another disk had been marked degraded and one file had...

After pulling a 5" splinter out of my foot from the wooden mat I spent WAY too much money on, I've decided to give this a shot. If it doesn't work well enough, I may end up picking up a glass mat. edit: Update: They are better than stock rollers, but still suck. You have to basically lift...

The linked item's idea of "carpet":

Just finished building a new SFF setup. 4080 FE, 7950X3D, AXP90-X47 Full Copper (with Noctua NF-A9 25mm fan sub), in a Fractal Design Terra. I'm running Prime95 right now to ensure that the cooler can handle the load. So far, it's hit 90*C and is doing it's thermal throttle thing, but not all...

Bought. Installed. Started playing. So far, it's Divinity meets Drizzt. And that's not a bad thing. I made the mistake of transferring a character from a tabletop D&D game I've been playing, and... Holy shit, SKILL CHECKS ARE EVERYWHERE. And important. I'm loving it.

That is too freakin' cool. Is there a model like that of an ICBM or hypersonic glide vehicle? (Any country's.) I'd love to print one off for my desk. I threw together a quick stand for a large heavy picture my wife would like on the dresser instead of the wall.

American McGee's Alice was the bomb diggity back at the turn of the millennium and was mentioned in the same breath as Baldur's Gate II, Diablo II, Perfect Dark... It was a BIG deal.

boot? They were one of my favorites growing up.

Panorama, Hagerty Driver's Club, 2600, the GCA Journal, and the ARRL stuff.

Plus you can drill some holes in it and add zip ties to keep your cables from danglin'.

2019 Mac Pro + Samsung G9 Neo. It's a little sad that it's almost 2023, and Apple still doesn't support ultra wide resolutions. I used to use SwitchResX, but it is causing lockups since the latest Ventura patch.

I kinda want a case now where the exterior of the GPU IS the top of the case. I see no reason this isn't a viable case design:
