Obligatory “read the article” etc. These unofficial patches get flak because some of them include “features” that are the modders preference. The point of unofficial patches is to fix bugs/glitches while remaining essentially vanilla or at least that’s why people want them. Worth noting that mod devs have been grilled for it before.
Y'all have first past the post / winner takes all, don't you? There was a vote recently and "labor" won from what I'm reading?
We have a (ranked choice voting) preferential vote system. You number your choices (1-8 for house of rep and 1-6 or 1-12 for senate). If the absolute majority isn’t obtained on first count the preferences are distributed until a majority is gained and that majority forms government.
Labor, coalition, independents, etc. what kinds of parties are these?
Centre-left (progressive), centre-right (conservative) and varied respectively. Independents can be anything from legalise cannabis through Kitkat Palmers (billionaire) wannabe Trump party [wrong, I lumped alt parties in with independents]. Ranked choice allows for support of smaller parties but still picking one of the main two if it comes down to a close call.
I thought Albanese was a "cunt" yet his party seems to have won again? What's going on?
Im not a fan of Albanese due to him largely coasting on important issues; like housing but Im not aware of the broader population thinking he was a cunt. After Morison (deeply moronic conservative who was last PM) he got the job and at least was professional.
Problem is Dutton, the opposition leader just had that bad a platform. Marking yet another attempt for the coalition attempting to bring US/Trump bullshit over here, being a cop who’d disobey an international court warrant, nuclear power saga and in general just being super scarce on details for his plans as PM.
Even if I’m centre left inclined, the coalitions performance this cycle still somewhat disappointed me. A weak coalition means it’s more likely for a complacent Labor party.
Classic US. All that’s missing is a “mission accomplished” banner.
Also, can he not make a role for presidential makeup artist? Like damn, why even bother with a fake tan/bronzer/whatever if you can’t even bother to do it properly or all the way to your hairline. I was going to say “maybe don’t raise your pink hand beside your orange face” but that’s the least of his problems.
I think pissing in the sink consistently is pretty gross. Unless you’re cleaning/disinfecting it thoroughly after and let’s be honest, if someone’s too lazy to walk to a toilet to piss; they ain’t doing that. It’s likely the idea of someone being a “sink pisser” is the bigger thing here, so finding out that your partner is one (a slob) is probably what led to the reaction.
Bringing up what you think about a partners reaction to something can happen later. Saying “it isn’t hurting anyone” is marginalising her feelings instead of understanding what lead to it and is unhealthy/unhelpful imo. It’s a cop out. I could scoot my bare arse across the carpet in lieu of toilet paper and say it isn’t hurting anyone (ignoring carpet burn). Wouldn’t make it not gross as fuck. That’s not to say she’s chosen the most effective method for voicing her issue but that’s an aside.
not sure what even to say in that moment
I’d suggest he start with apologising for pissing somewhere that is not the designated piss zone, aka a toilet and go from there.
Have your main account set to filter out NSFW to avoid that content. Also, there is absolutely no shortage of that content on reddit lmao. At least when I was there anyway.
Every now and then someone at work will mention soccer and I think “I should give it a go” and then I see embarrassing shit like this and remember why I don’t.
Luckily I quoted you, which shows that you have defined “repair” so narrowly as to exclude taking actions to restore a product to put back into service.
Yes, that would be a compelling point did I not, twice, tell you your interpretation of my quote is incorrect and go on to clarify it as an example. I think this makes your intentions clear enough that it isn’t worth continuing wasting time on. All I’ll say is I’m glad you have nothing to do with making the specifications for this sort of hardware and that it’s left to competent and educated engineers. Assault on repair, good lord lol.
Me providing an example of a repair is not me claiming it is the only method of repair.
If someone can make a degraded product useful again, it’s neither your place nor the manufacturers place to tell advanced users/repairers not to -- to dictate what is appropriate.
Except, again, you aren’t making it useful again, you’re attempting to bypass a fail safe put in place by engineers. You aren’t repairing anything to make useful again, you aren’t fixing any part of the SSD. You’re merely attempting to bypass a “lockout”. You aren’t arguing to repair the drive; you’re arguing to keep using after this point (which is fine, even if I disagree with it).
That’s because you’re not making the distinction between reading and writing, and understanding that it’s writing that fails. The fitness to write to a NAND declines gradually with each cycle. Every transistor is different. A transistor might last 11,943 cycle…
The first paragraph quoted (and the article as whole) cover reads, different between different drives (including different specs for enterprise vs consumer) and how the values are drawn. 10k is for intel 50nm MLC NAND specifically. Other values are presented in the article. It isn’t arbitrary as you’ve attempted to hand wave it as. I suggest you read it in its entirety. It doesn’t matter how sophisticated the software standard is, the oxide on the drive will eventually wear down and is a physical problem.
I am being artificially blocked from returning the product into useful service
Except it isn’t useful service. I would have a hard time buying that a a pre-fail drive, even second hand, is useful for service. I get what you’re going for/saying but again it doesn’t pass for right to repair imo. It’s risking data loss to wring an extra 12 months (or likely, less) from a dying drive. For every 1 person like you that its an annoyance for it saves multitudes more that are less savvy pointlessly risking data loss.
“Repair” does not necessarily mean returning to a factory state.
I didn’t claim as such and replacing a faulty or damaged module wouldn’t return it to factory condition. I wouldn’t consider “hacking” a drive to continue using it when you shouldn’t a repair. As far as I’m aware it’s to comply with JEDEC standards.
There's now ambiguity between bits which, if this cell were allowed to remain active in an SSD, would mean that when you go to read a file on your drive there's a chance that you won't actually get the data you're requesting. A good SSD should mark these bits bad at this point.
There's a JEDEC spec that defines what should happen to the NAND once its cells get to this point. For consumer applications, the NAND should remain in a read-only state that can guarantee data availability for 12 months at 30C with the drive powered off.
I just don’t see how using a drive into the period where it’s likely to fail and lose data, against specification, is a good idea. Let alone a right to repair issue.
Lmao “looting”. Humans on the verge of starvation fight for survival? No fucking kidding.
