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.

Is there any HDD over 8TB using 5400RPM ? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

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.

Considering it's emulating the code, not directly running it that's not bad.

My M1 MBP gets about 80% CPU usage trying to run an old ass version of world of warcraft in a VM. GPU usage is high, but it definitely is choking on the CPU side of things more than GPU, and I assume this is going to be the same bottleneck.

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.

starting in lemmy 0.19: (username in top right) > settings > Import/Export Settings > export

Then import on your new community and all of your subscriptions, settings, etc will be migrated over. Comments/posts won't migrate over, but besides basic user settings followed_communities, saved_posts, saved_comments, blocked_communities, blocked_users, and blocked_instances get copied over. It's not instantly after it loads. I just tested it and it's taken about 5 minutes now and it's still going through my subscriptions (maybe 50/360) and then blocked instances are next and it should be done.

Double checked and it's done done now about 13 mintues after I made the comment. So maybe 20 minutes to impot a profile with a large number of subscriptions.

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.

Publishers Not Sure If They Should Keep Making Xbox Games in c/xbox@lemmy.world

If there was no S then all games would have been optimized to the Xs level. Instead the S is compare able to the older Series X. The smaller form factor vs the mini fridge is basically the only thing going for it.

X1 Carbon Gen 2 (touchbar) Windows 7 Recovery Media (lemmy.world)
 

Does anyone have a copy of the original Windows 7 recovery media for the X1 Carbon Gen 2? I can find gen 1, and most other later gens. But not this machine. Currently it's running it's factory install, but it's horrendously slow and I'm not fully sure why. And sadly the built in create recovery media option says there's nothing to be found.

Does anyone else have any experience with these machines? Were their SSDs always so horribly slow? 550mbps read is good, but 100mbps writes is bad even by 2013 standards. The touchbar takes what feels like ages to respond, and with age has discolored in a really gross way. Overall it seems like a pretty well built machine. But man, what was Lenovo thinking?

T14 Gen 1 Intel heatsink upgrade (lemmy.world)
 

I have a BASE model T14 gen 1 (1366x768 screen, lowest end i5, base ssd etc) and I was wanting to eek out a bit more performance out of this machine. It's quite thermally constrained with longer loads despite being the base model, and it's fan seems to barely move any air at all.

I know along with other T series you can install the heatsink from the higher end models with dGPUs and get much better cooling. Has anyone here done the same and can report back on performance differences?

Part No 5H40W36701 is the heatsink I have. Part No 5H40W36700 appears to be the model for the dGPU macines. Lenovo lists it as $61.16 for this part, but ebay has them for a little over $30. So the next question is it enough of a difference to justify it?

2.5g capable SFP+ switch or media converters (lemmy.world)
 

Is anyone aware of any switches (or media converters) with SFP+ ports capable of negotiating 2.5Gbit speeds that don't cost an arm and a leg?

I have the Google Fiber 2 gig plan and I'd like to get rid of the fiber box since they've been extremely unreliable and our 4th one has just died. Unfortunately in order to get the full speeds I need something that can take a 2.5 gig SFP+ connection. 10 gig will not work, and 1 gig obviously only gets me half the speed.

I've found a few Unifi compatible switches, but they're between $600 and $900 which is just insane for all we need.

Media converter wise everything I've found is 2.5gig on the rj45 side and 10 gig only on the SFP.

Something has to exist out there right? It can't only be Google who are the freaks using 2.5 gig SFP modules.

Changing the Windows 11 "Power Mode" via command line (lemmy.world)
 

I was wondering if it's possible to change Windows 10/11s Power Mode via the command line instead of the UI. See attached screenshot. Windows 10 had a nice slider when you click the battery icon, but that's missing from 11 and you have to click a few more buttons to change it.

When I look up how to change the power mode everything is talking about using the legacy power plans found in control panel, but the power mode doesn't stick with the power plan, and I'm looking to automate changing that via a script.

Specs at the moment: Intel T14 gen 1 i5 10210u 16 GB ram Stock 256GB SSD GPU: Radeon RX 56 Enclosure: Razer Core X Chroma

I use this setup to play around with all sorts of GPUs. Anything with a PCIe interface and windows 10 drivers and I'll try to run it. I don't do any serious work on this machine for the most part.
