  • Throwing another tantrum with another alt account?

    And you’re accusing me of being a “little bitch”?

    Lol

    How sad that “tell the truth” and “be a decent person“ send you into such a tailspin. Perhaps when you master those two things, you’ll understand the rest.

    And, of course, you’re blocked

    How many more alt accounts must you manufacture before you understand that you’re a piece of shit and I don’t wanna hear from you again?

    Because I’ll just keep telling all of your alt accounts the same thing, forever:

    You suck, and so do your opinions.




  • “I ain’t got no crystal ball”

    It gets a lot worse when you saw those fuckers live in concert more than once, and now you’re wondering what that means about how old you are now…

    Edit: I already went through a solid 10 years of trying to reconcile Bradley and the bands affect and influence on my personal heroin addiction. I think I finally came to terms with that around 2007 or so, a few years after I finally kicked

    I took all of that very personally








  • No doubt! The Original iPod was the consumer breakthrough for FireWire 400 – unless you count the MiniDisc players, but few people outside Japan cared about those (except me, wee!). I never gave up my NetMD player/recorder-- it was stolen!

    But Apple (like Sony and Intel) were heavily invested in FireWire, and the iPod seemed like the perfect kickoff, especially since USB 2.0 wasn’t ready when the 1st-Gen iPod premiered.


  • FireWire/Thunderbolt is the best interconnect protocol. Unlike usb, it is constant bitrate. USB is variable bitrate, so its throughput speed is not guaranteed. but with FireWire/Thunderbolt, you always knew how fast it was going. That’s why it was always extremely good for, in your case, scientific equipment, cameras, video editing, large, external data storage devices, etc… and the data transfer is symmetrical rather than unidirectional like USB.

    Thunderbolt is fucking awesome. My buddy just built out a new Plex server, and his 50 TB external storage box is running at thunderbolt 4. He can stream out multiple remote 4K streams, and his gigabit Internet connection AND his local network will both be bottlenecks far before his storage device throughput will be.

    Edit: my buddies box could host 6 remote 4K streams, 12 local 4K streams, and he could edit 4 remote (local 10Gb/80Gb cached network) 8K edits in Adobe Premiere before he’d hit a single frame jitter.

    system76 makes some nice boxes.
