Well, I already don't bother to screw the adapter in with a bracket, and just leave the side of the case off when needed. The big nice thing is the tool-less mounting of the actual SSD in the caddy so swaps would be easier and faster. I wish it was possible to screw in a tool-less adapter to the...

What if you have a pretty navel?

You went for it being a backdoor on your phone. Phrasing it as a question so you can disingenuously say "I'm just asking questions" doesn't make it any less jumping to a conclusion nor a conspiracy theory.

Yeah, no, that's not how that works.

Oh c'mon. I'm sure it would only take 9 or 10 inches of daisy-chained adapters to connect it to a USB port. Or maybe you'd need to adapt it to a serial connection (if that isn't what it already has) going to a Raspberry Pi to power it and read the input and convert it to standard PC keyboard...

But it's rather ridiculous to jump to the worst possible conclusion with basically no information other than the letters MIPS being in a service name, and that service being put on multiple devices as a core service just like hundreds of other services. MIPS has other known meanings and maybe...

It's possible that they've changed it, and it's hardwired into the image for older models even when the app itself isn't even installed. But there is zero about it to make a normal non-paranoid person start thinking their phone has been backdoored by the government or worrying about the service.

This took 10 seconds to find. My Verizon Services (which they have probably renamed a dozen times over the years and I think is now just My Verizon). Preinstalled even on non-Verizon Pixels but in a disabled state. https://xdaforums.com/t/my-verizon-services-removal.4036251/...

Yeah no high speed ports like that. If I have a 20Gbps USB port that would be tolerable speed for an SSD in the sizes I'm using, but a PCIe adapter plus buying an enclosure to use it would be more than I want to spend. Likewise it looks like M.2 to U.2 cables plus a U.2 to M.2 adapter would be a...

Yes I'd love to hoard SSDs with the other things I've hoarded. 🙃 I was thinking of looking at Agora for really cheap or free stuff but decent will probably mean at least a bit of money that I shouldn't spend. It's tough because for the first time in a long time I'm excited about something (yay...

Anyone actually interested in more tests? I'm doing them regardless, for myself, and ordered another DRAM-less drive (Patriot P400 Lite which uses yet a different controller; I don't want to spend a lot of money on this but it's worth a little to play with and learn and one can always do with...

If you check the DNS for myfiosgateway.com from outside their network, with other DNS providers, it points to 127.0.0.1. Just interesting, that. Internally, I'm pretty sure their DNS server dynamically redirects myfiosgateway.com to your own external IP (ping it and verify) so that you'll...

Unfortunately I won't have an SSD with DRAM to test with as I'm not wiping my SN850X OS drive. :) The only other one I have is an old 960 Pro MLC drive. I don't know why DRAM would make a difference though.

I did, and then let it sit for like an hour before shrinking and testing. Then I expanded it again and TRIM'd and let it sit overnight before running the test again with a single half partition and then the second partition. As far as what others look like, I forgot to even run any other tests...

I couldn't wait so I started testing with the 256GB PM991 last night. Performance on this drive is AWFUL, but it has a 34GB pSLC cache during which it writes at 900MBps or a bit more. After that it drops with a peak of about 180MBps, native TLC speed. After 20 minutes, it burst to 900MBps for a...

Perhaps that is high for QLC and it's just the average within those seconds between direct to QLC and the higher "pSLC plus folding". It does drop down tot he 200MBps range fairly often, but 1 second intervals is all IOMeter offers. Maybe it's 100 for half a second then 800 for half a second as...

tl;dr: Splitting an SSD into multiple partitions results in the pSLC cache size for each partition being split proportionally as well. SO! This is interesting to me, and not what I expected. I wanted to test how pSLC is affected by partitioning, because the tests that are performed are only...

Which exact processor? You put up with this for almost a year? Are you on 24H2 for Windows 11 yet? Maybe try removing the drivers from Intel or the mainboard manufacturer and let Windows install whatever it wants? This seems to be a not uncommon issue, based on a quick search. One suggestion...

Office 2024 LTSC came out recently with perpetual licensing (and 2021 exists), but it would be a download version. I assume if you dig you can still get an offline installer (that you can backup), but I don't know what rigmarole is involved with installing it. (Not long before I quit working, MS...

Every consumer drive I've ever seen uses 512e by default, to ensure compatibility with every device and OS. That insecurity about compatibility is preventing moving beyond it, but with SSDs the performance hit is not all that huge because it only actually reuses a block if there are no free ones...
