A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I was looking at 4 and 8TB Seagate drives at various German online retailers a few months ago and there were indeed a few suspiciously cheap ones that could have only been disguised used drives. It irritated me so much, it made me postpone a server expansion.
