I can write the one output it would generate for all of us:
You are a gen-X or elder millennial male who works in the technology field. You enjoy Star Trek memes and whatever the hell PugJesus posts. You use arch, btw.
They were basically hard drives where the read and write heads were in the drive itself and the platter was in the zip disc. When it was released it offered 100MB vs the 1.44 you could fit on a similarly sized (but much cheaper) floppy. USB hadn’t even been invented yet, let alone USB thumb drives or SD cards, so it was kinda the only semi-convenient, semi-cheap way to move semi-large amounts of media around. I was a graphic artist when they came out and it was a huge improvement to be able to send a zip disk or two to a printer to print proofs.
I have one of these. It’s usb 3.0 only which it sounds like is what you have anyway. It’s not part of my NAS, I just use it when I need to quickly look for something on an old drive, but it’s been pretty reliable for me for the last few years and was cheap, so I have no complaints.
Ah my mistake. As I’m sure you’ve found you can certainly get USB-SATA adapters. They’ll be $15-20 each, so you’d realistically be better off getting 2 2-drive enclosures since that would be about the same price but much cleaner. I’ve used Sabrent for this for a while and they’re fine. There are occasional usb disconnects so it’s not good for anything mission critical. And never do anything port-powered when connecting drives over usb, always use parts that get their own wall power.
Buy a cheap LSI card on ebay, they can usually be had for around $15-20. Make sure it's either in HBA or IT mode, or that there's a way to put it into that mode. If it's in HBA/IT mode, you can then just use it like more SATA ports. Buy a pack of LSI-SATA cables (there are two kinds, get the kind that includes the SATA power connector). Then you can put the card inside your computer and the drives anywhere that the cables will reach.
They’re basically just a tax on the dumb. But man the slogans — all you need is a dollar and a dream, you gotta be in it to win it, etc. — sheer marketing genius.
It's been a while, but I think people were still able to commit suicide if they just couldn't cope with the prospect of utopia. And I think stuff like boxing was OK. Just not torturing, beating or killing people you didn't like.
Multiple countries have had the ability to put tons of weapons in space for a half century (and we know there are/were a few up there), so I don't agree with you here - once we abandon our treaties, one country putting arms in space will inevitably lead to all countries putting arms in space "for defense".
The common colloquialism is that objective reality has a liberal bias. So either you train your LLM on "removed" science and facts, or it spits out garbage nonsense that is obviously wrong to even the typical twitter user.
Didn't Elon breathlessly explain how the plan was to have Grok rewrite and expand on the current corpus of knowledge so that the next Grok could be trained on that "superior" dataset, which would forever rid it of the removedness?
We are all made of star stuff.
