- Comment on Twenty percent of hard drives used for long-term music storage in the 90s have failed 2 months ago:
Drive failure in the 00s was really common. I lost 2 or 3 separate drives from different mfg over the course of a couple years. Newer drives are better but even in modern nas setups, I planned on losing at least 1 drive per year on a 4 drive nas even fresh out of the box.
Always keep data your care about in at least 3 places and in at least 2 different mediums with one preferably offsite. I like to have one drive in use, one backup that sync’s daily, and one that I keep in cold storage unplugged. Then swap the sync drve and cold storage drive every so often.
- Comment on Dear Roku, you ruined my TV 4 months ago:
Another example of why automatic updates are terrible. If it is my device, I should have the ability to opt out of it changing on its own.
- Comment on Google Podcasts is shutting down soon, users urged to move to YouTube Music 7 months ago:
Yep, started like 2 weeks ago and its been good so far. The transition from google podcasts was only about 3 buttons to export then import it. Very simple.
