    You can track the health status of most smart enabled ssds. Can use a tool like crystal disk info

    Personally i have 2 7 year old ssds going strong without issue. Mainly used for storage and games, so the r/w rates been pretty lower on them.

    Ssds do have a total maximum write cycles to nand. Really depends on the use cases over the 5 years.










  • I remember an apology being issued about it iirc.

    Personally, I’m fine with mtx if it supports continual development of a game i paid for and enjoyed prior to them being added. As long as the actual meaningful game additions are free or 1-time transactions.

    What i don’t like is constant FOMO based p2w mechanics that are a requirement to play in any meaningful way, like most mobile time walled games. I also don’t like when corpos make decisions like adding DRM to an always online game, that is known to impact users, just points to a devs inability or a monetary kick back of said 3rd party drm to the devs shareholders.

    Shitty situation overall however :(



  • Just another possible point of failure with no real upside, beside the ability to slam it shut while on a call when angry like it is 2005 again.

    Cosmetically the screen creases would anoy me.

    Only use case I see valuable would be easier portability of larger screen formats. But I really never use a tablet to begin with.

    I’m sure the tech will go towards better curved displays like monitors,tvs, and VR headset optics. Which are some things i maybe interested in using.

    But at this point I feel it’s more gimmick than anything.





  • I find this comment so strange. People can enjoy somthing as a hobby, not everything needs to be completely practical / used as a tool. Like I explained I enjoy tinkering with 3d printers.

    I went into conversation in the thread about what I print and a goal with another user.

    This thread was purley asking for reccomendations on other aspects of the hobby and more of a what aspect of the hobby should I explore next. While listing what “tools” I have already experienced.

    Thought conversion was the the whole point of having online communities around a related topic.


  • I use my printers various random objects, functional repair prints, stuff like that. Not doing any sort of production on them. I mainly just enjoy the hobby and messing around with the printers themselves with no objective.

    Main reason I’ve been considering adding in a resin printer is more intricate small designs like game peices or some more complex shapes in general. Currently I get some pretty nice results as far as surface finishes go on the FDMs, but feel I could get more out of a resin print as far as micro details go.

    Thanks!
