Sorta like north korea then. Understandable why they got the job… Must have felt like home.

- Comment on This long-term data storage will last 14 billion years 5 days ago:
We are talking theoretical here, of course. For enterprise to even give it a realistic look it needs to outperform very time tested equipment so… Were probably looking at needing to beat on cost, capacity, speed… Or to put it simply its actual value / cost for implementation. Currently there are a few different research grade projects at various stages of lab testing… And this, like those, needs to fundamentally provide (noteworthy) gains over the existing and also be able to be consistent outside of the lab. Were a fair bit away from that yet.
I mentioned earlier that we are in dire need of meaningful, long term, non-magnetic storage… And I genuinely believe that. But while I can be interested in the tech - it still needs to be viewed with a critical eye until it can produce results.
- Comment on This long-term data storage will last 14 billion years 5 days ago:
They are at 30 presently. The “standard” is somewhere around 300-500 which, again, is acceptable for cold storage at the current tape drive size of 10-30tb.
There are minimums expected as density increases. Cold storage / backup still needs this to be viable.
- Comment on This long-term data storage will last 14 billion years 5 days ago:
You need to put the capacity into perspective with the storage speed. The comment I made simply highlighted the issue with an extreme example… For the reasoning provided. And as someone who’s worked with emerging tech before… 30 Mbps is their ideal lap time in a lab environment. Do remember that 100 Mbps is considered absurdly slow for networking. 1Gbps sounds fast but even those transfer rates move into hours and days for larger file transfers.
- Comment on This long-term data storage will last 14 billion years 6 days ago:
We desperately need a non-magnetic storage for obvious reasons … But making a new thing is freakish difficult.
- Comment on This long-term data storage will last 14 billion years 6 days ago:
That’s the joke. The speed of a lot of these tech would require twice the time the data retention to write it.
We can place atoms in order on the head of this pin and store 30 Pb. Write speed? 1KB/min

- Comment on Data centers need electricity, utilities need years to build – who should pay? 1 week ago:
You’d be supprised to see how many industries probably have some sort of backups in place for power … But it’s typically more costly to run and they may not have plans in place for extended outages. At the end of the day it comes down to money.
What’s frustrating about the current situation with the power companies is people just are unaware they are getting bled or don’t have options for recourse… Whereas monopolies and large companies are getting (fuck if I know why) white glove treatment and discounts. It makes little sense to be deferential to these massive companies - as while they promise jobs, economic benifits, and the moon itself… Data shows this rarely materializes. Its baffling.
- Comment on Data centers need electricity, utilities need years to build – who should pay? 1 week ago:
Datacenter. The end.
Datacenters build their own micro power plants for uptime anyway. This is a line item and an investment. Little Timmy’s parents need to feed little Timmy… Not finance some techbro or deluded CLevel’s fomo into the next big bubble.

Rack tracks exist for this and if you are looking to not get smushed or see your equipment take a fall I’d strongly recommend it.
- Comment on ideas for deadspace behind fridge 1 week ago:
I second this. Especially if you’ve the means to vent it appropriately. It will help isolate noise.
And if youre feeling like some minor woodworking… They sell door framing for next to nothing at big box stores… A thinner one would vastly improve your light switch situation ;)

While irrelevant, you’d be incorrect. Again. But let’s add some finality here using your own words.
As I already said just because most of his content is “talking head”, doesn’t mean he can’t recommend products. Which he clearly has done.
Welcome to this thread and, consequently, what everyone was pointing out to you.
Review, v.
examine or assess (something) formally with the possibility or intention of instituting change if necessary.
Dare I ask if such a formal thing might include numbers, data, and other specific metrics outside of opinions? Perish the thought.
Recommend, v.
to put forward (something) as one’s choice for a wise or proper course of action
It seems between your slip of the tongue and … Actual logic that you’d be definitively… Incorrect.
I’ll extend the olive branch in saying, as mentioned prior (Venn): there are some overlaps so you’d be forgiven for not fully grasping the difference… However the things that define those differences leave no question as to which they are - and ignoring that simply makes you … well… ignorant.
I mentioned before this wasn’t an argument. It still isnt. Its a dunce making a spectacle of his own foolishness. If you wish to continue making such a display I invite you to do so alone. I won’t be party to embarrassing you further.
- Comment on It's the Christmas light video again - 2025 edition 1 week ago:
Look. The last paragraph said what needed to be said. Its apparent its not a review and if you can’t see that… You’re either beyond help or a troll that is succeeding only in making themself look like those inmates from idiocracy. If you feel you need to overanalyze my reaponses to protect your ego… Do what you need to friend; it doesn’t change reality. If you can’t address the obvious flaws in your logic on the original topic you are simply running from the truth.
- Comment on It's the Christmas light video again - 2025 edition 1 week ago:
Both did the job of explaining different functions of the dishwasher and demonstrating, as I mentioned, that expensive stuff did not “clean more better.” To that end he literally had things independantly tested (for the sake of highlighting powders being just as-good.) I’ll go on to point out that he made several comments about pods not using the pre wash.
Again, as mentioned, even with him recommending a product… That does not make him a reviewer. If anything it was a mild advertisement … On a talking head show.
To go back to what spawned this discussion - I wasn’t arguing with you. I simply thought you couldn’t understand what the show was… Or perhaps could not differentiate. The comments (initially) sought to teach.
But, exasperatingly, here we are.
At this point you are nitpicking and being pedantic to attempt to “win” an agurment not being had. If I wanted to approach this with the same energy I’d simply focus on it being obvious that anyone with a bit of sense would have noticed that the review seemed to lack… Price, length of stands, lumens… The list goes on. If it were a review it would contain an awful lot more numbers and an awful lot less personal opinion.
Square peg: round hole. I genuinely hope we leave it there.
- Comment on It's the Christmas light video again - 2025 edition 1 week ago:
His dish washing video went to great lenghts to explain how something works and why hot water matters with an additional comment on different products and cost not being everything. Like any continuing series he did drive deeper into various subjects and he did suggest some things which he used or liked. That doesn’t make it a review. Venn diagram. Its an opinion not a review.
Point in case: was he reviewing kettles in his recent water boiling video? No. But… but he ran a timer!
- Comment on It's the Christmas light video again - 2025 edition 1 week ago:
Short generalized answer: it depends on the strip / strand… But if the strand has a brick at the end that is converting ac - > dc with 2 wires you can typically replace that with a better driver easily. It gets far more specific when a data line is introduced. It won’t fix cheap LEDs outright but it can change how they behave.
