If this is all Nvidia stock let him try to cash out and see what happens.

I'm using this as well and came in to recommend it. One machine is thunderbolt to DP. One is DP to DP. Both Windows machines and both work well. I used this cable https://a.co/d/diTREUK however I'd look for a higher DP/thunderbolt revision now.

Hearing this made me sad that I don't get to hear most of the north American song birds. IIRC they were either shot or out competed by European species like starlings or sparrows. 😟

Yeah, fair. German speaking people however do seem to love processes and rules. I wasn't actually thinking of Nazis, just the German stereotypes.

We need a travel justification board so only truly necessary air travel is authorized and approved. Nein. No babiez on ze plane

Consider it the price you pay for travel freedom.

Fuck off. OP wanted a way to avoid children while traveling on a public mode of transport. There's no box to tick to make that happen. Children and parents have the same rights to make use of air travel as anyone else. Tough shit. Kids exist. You were once one, maybe still are.

We share this planet and there have to be a million examples where we moderate our own behavior in consideration of others. Be one of those examples. Or don’t, but live knowing the rest of us hate you.

I said I booked the most direct option, not the cheapest. Yes, of course I'm the entitled one here.

I have kids and when I took them on trips when they were little, I would book the most direct option. I didn't consider the option where I could inconvenience the most entitled people.

I'll never get why people get so worked up by babies crying on airplanes. The kids parents are just trying to get somewhere, same as everyone else. The plane is not your bedroom, or office, theater, or library. You know what you're getting into when you board. You're going to be in close quarters with strangers. Some of them might be kids that cry, some might be so old or weak that they have trouble stuffing their oversized carry on into the overhead bin. The difference is the weak person could have chosen to check the bag. Can you tell what my flying pet annoyance is? You just never know what you're gonna get.

Like someone already said, the airlines don't do it bc there's no money in it.

Ubiquity also has some managed switches with sfp+ ports. They are more expensive than the one listed above however.

That's a really great idea. I know at least 2 of the drives are from the same batch so it would be good to rotate things in and out. Thanks!

Start googling. Hardware or Software based? How techy are you? RAID should not be considered for backup. Think of it as an individual drive. Still needs a backup. Personally I use a ZFS pool in my Linux homelab that's been rock solid. However the pucker factor would be high if a drive fails.

  1. Depends on how you set them up. There are calculators online that can estimate this for you.

  2. I used NAS drives bc they're expected to be spinning a lot.

  3. No. You will see better performance on average compared to your slowest drive.

  4. I have no relevant experience with specific hardware. For a general base of knowledge figure out what RAID type you want to use. Look at what ZFS or btrfs can do in this space. Same for unraid.

Get a chargie! (Chargie.org). I can't recommend this thing highly enough. It's a small Bluetooth device that sits between your phone and the charger. When your battery hits a set % it will shut off the power.

I've used one since I got my pixel 7 pro. Accurately says the battery health is still 98% after 14 months.

I bought a really nice Benchmade pocket knife. I like the way it opens Amazon packages
