  Lemmy definitely showing the same symptoms as Reddit as it grows. Too many people trying to show off how technically smart they are and just come off as obnoxious dweebs

    I don’t know why people think that this behavior would ever be restricted to Reddit, Twitter, Facebook, etc.?

    There’s one common element in all these systems…

    It’s becoming more and more noticeable and it’s making me sad.

      The thing is, there’s nothing wrong with sharing knowledge or pointing out best practices. What sucks is people replying JUST to point out the flaws and then gloat, without even fully comprehending what happened in the article. But this behavior has been around way longer than reddit.

        I feel it’s the same kind of people who complain regarding the same questions popping up at a forum often. I don’t get why they can’t just ignore them? Sure you could maybe find the answer by googling but sometimes you want to interact with others. Plus you might learn things you didn’t know you should also have asked.

        My feeling is that Stackexchange is the place that has taken this the furthest with the result that new people can neither ask any questions nor get any points to get more rights on the site.

    Lemmy guess… this is your 2nd go with a social media platform?

    Lemmy sit you down on my knee son and let grandpa here explain how social media worked in his old times of facebook just like I sat on my grandpappys knee and he explained to me the days of AIM.

    And what’s most important is you putting smart people down to make yourself feel superior to them

      You’ve been putting people down everywhere, quite hypocritical of you

        How else are they supposed to show off how much smarter they are than those grubby redditors?

      This is one the best uses of irony (probably unintentional or trolling) I’ve ever seen. Thanks

  What, you don’t do RAID-6 and carry around 5 external USB drives to move your data between locations? It’s just so convenient. 🤣

  Seriously, I don’t get the raid comments at all.

  • stardreamer@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Of course I don’t carry 5 external drives with me all the time, that would be ridiculous.

    I carry the whole HBA.

  I didn’t believe you but yeeeeeesh. Lots of self righteous penises ITT. If people buy an expensive hard drive, it should work. Not everyone knows everything there is to know about data storage, have a little grace people

• Steeve@lemmy.ca ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  Lol this place is half a circle jerk of people who think they’re certified geniuses for rejecting mainstream technology, tech hipsters. There was a thread about Google’s “safe browsing” thing and most of the comments were just "iMaGiNe UsInG gOoGle!!*

  irrelevant to the point of the article

  What are you talking about? Of course it’s relevant.

  Hard drives die. I’ve personally had three drives fail in the last 12 months - two HDDs and one SSD. And both of those were internal hard drives either in a data center or at least on a desk in a properly climate controlled office.

  Your solution doesn’t have to be RAID, but it has to be something better than “I’ll just keep this file on a single drive”.

    Stop focusing on the title. The lost data isn’t the point. The defect is the point.

    source

    • PupBiru@kbin.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      there are 2 discussions happening: 1 about the product the article is talking about, and another about the tangentially related topic of disk failure in general

      i see no problem here… or are we only allowed to discuss the specific points the article mentions now and absolutely under no circumstances are we allowed to have discussions about anything else…?

    • abhibeckert@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Second paragraph of the article: “My colleague Vjeran just lost 3TB of video”.

      It’s not just the title, the entire article is about data loss. To be honest what really bothers me about the article is the whole thing points fingers at WD for making a mistake, while conveniently ignoring that fact that a Verge employee also made a mistake and I’d argue a worse one by failing to backup their data.

      If the article was about “it’s annoying to have to wait for a replacement drive to be sent” then I’d be right on board. But that’s not what the article is about.

      source

      • phillaholic@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        No… the company trying to hide the fact that their product is defective is the point here. Lost data or not, people are paying for a product that’s defective. End of story.

  Why is your comment with so many upvotes but I still had to scroll down to find it. Everything above is kinda morbid. Im glad I scrolled enough, was worried a bit 🤣

  Did you read the article? Because as far as I can see it fails to actually say shit about the problem. From just this article I can see why people are blaming the author for not having redundancy.

  The Arstechnica articles however do actually say what’s going on, so yeah this appears to be a real issue with these drives disconnecting.

    Yes.
