No, it's not backed up.
I don't really understand disk initialization or partition tables. The partition table is just a bit of code that tells the OS which sectors or physical parts of the drive are in which partitions, right? My SSD was just a storage drive, so the entire thing was just one...
Asgard is a somewhat well-known brand in China.
Unfortunately I don't have a motherboard, only a laptop, and the drive itself doesn't fit inside my laptop because it has double-sided memory chips and my laptop only has room for single-sided SSDs.

I have the 2TB version of this Asgard AN3+ SSD and it is barely a month old with less than one write cycle on the drive:

It's in a working Ugreen USB-C enclosure...
My internal SSD on my laptop has pretty bad performance:
512GB Lenovo LENSE20512GMSP34MEAT2TA
Seq: 712 MB/s
Ran: 62 MB/s
Deep: 453 MB/s
I want to upgrade to a 2TB SSD
The 2TB Intel 660p seems to get on average:
Seq: 1215 MB/s
Ran: 87 MB/s
Deep: 661 MB/s
Yes, it's still on the slow side...
A lot of things aren't maintenance items.
The rear main seal, front main seal, sump seal. I have no idea how you'd maintain this, and the first two are very expensive to replace.
Rocker cover gasket. Again, not a maintenance item, but luckily on mine it's an easy fix.
Fuel pump seal. Not a...
I'm in Australia and this is my first time buying a car that's older than 15 years (1995 Mitsubishi Delica L400, a 2.8TD 4x4 van with a low range and 145k miles).
Needless to say, I've learned a lot with all the things that have gone wrong with it almost right after purchase.
- Before buying I...
The source is absolutely better on AUX than Bluetooth. It's a DAC playing flac files, but I'm concerned it won't actually sound any better because the speakers themselves on the EU Boom 2 might be too crappy to really tell the difference.
I've bought a secondhand UE Megaboom 2 which doesn't have an AUX port. I don't need a speaker that gets as loud as the Megaboom.
I'm wondering if a Boom 2 would have better sound quality if I use the AUX port? Has anyone done any comparisons between the AUX and Bluetooth? Unfortunately none of...
For the past 5 years my dad has been investing according to the teachings of Investors Business Daily and MarketSmith. I don't know much about these, but it appears to be entirely technical in nature, looking at trends on graphs and numerical metrics and such.
He's seen really good (40%+ YTD)...
Not exactly. China and Vietnam aren't the best of friends. They don't even allow Chinese passport holders to enter their islands since the South China Sea is contested. The islands are covered with a military presence to ward off the Chinese. They get a lot of Chinese tourists, as well as...
I was there a month ago.
It's kinda stupid.
Packed with people shoulder to shoulder. The hands are just spray painted to look like rock and are hollow - the actual supporting beams are steel pylons that they don't even bother to hide. And it's not even that high off the ground - you certainly...
I've got a pair of expensive IEMs and the plastic housing has cracked in a very annoying part. They're not under warranty.
The part of the housing that holds the cable plug is cracked. If the wire gets torqued in the direction of the arrow in the photo the cable plug socket gets pulled right...
The lanyard has saved my phone a bunch of times from certain death in places where dropping the phone is unrecoverable. It's also a way to secure the phone in case of theft while traveling. Been using this method for years and have never had an issue. Until now.
I've spent more money on screen protectors for this piece of crap than any other of my phones, combined.
First one was one with the adhesive running along the edge of the glass. Impossible to type due to the touch insensitivity, even with sensitivity cranked all the way up.
Second and third...
I've got the Samsung S9+ for a few months now and I hate it.
- Why do people think that bezel-less is a good thing? Bezels prevent you from accidentally making touch inputs when you're holding the device!
- Without a phone case the S9+ gets so many unintended screen touches on the sides. A...
I played with all the S10s today. I have the S9+.
The S10+ is thinner and lighter than the S9+ and the dimensions are exactly the same despite the larger screen.
For me, the ultrawide lens is the big draw but:
- Lens distortion is very apparent. It's trivial to fix this in real-time with...
Is there a rough year for when diesels started to run smoother? Like only after 2010? Or can I expect some 2005 ones to be smooth? And is there a difference between brands?
I've been test driving late 90s models and they're not smooth or refined.
I'm in Australia and have been test driving a bunch of 1995-1997 Mitsubishi Delicas and even a Jeep Renegade. All were diesels and all feel like they run rough. More vibration, feels like there's less refinement, feels like I'm driving a very heavy car, etc.
Then I hop into my Subaru Impreza...
No, not yet. Coming from Melbourne I did the Oodnadatta Track and then to Coober Pedy and camped underground in an old opal mine. After that I headed south towards the coast along the Great Australian Bight. I'll leave Uluru for my second leg of the trip to Darwin. Summer in Australia is not...
Currently in Australia after having roadtripped from Melbourne to Perth. Going to be going to Singapore and Malaysia in two weeks and buying a motorcycle in Vietnam to ride through Vietnam, Cambodia, and Loas. Maybe hit up the Philippines on my way back to Perth in April or May and then driving...
You can definitely get value based on just two variables.
Take ribeye steak for example.
Store one:
$5/lb
Store two:
$3/lb
Store two is the better value.
So it's not solely because there are only two variables.
That also doesn't work.
Car 1:
$5,000
100,000 miles
$0.05/mile
Car 2:
$100,000
100 miles
$1000/mile
Ok, since Car 2 is clearly not a good value just based on common sense, it appears we should minimize $/mile, right?
Car 3:
$5,000
500,000 miles
$0.01/mile
$0.01/mile (Car 3) is smaller...
I don't think this works.
So the distance of the point to the origin (zero cost and zero mileage) would be:
distance to origin of a point at (x, y) = sqrt(x^2 + y^2)
distance to origin of the car = sqrt(mileage^2 + cost^2)
So if we have two cars:
Car 1:
$5,000
100,000 miles
Distance to...
Say that I'm comparing different cars of the same model and I'm comparing them based on two variables - the selling price and the mileage.
Generally as the selling price goes up the mileage goes down, but not necessarily. Sometimes you'll see a 100k car being sold for $5000 while a 120k car is...
Interesting.
One of the pain points of owning a DJI drone is that the batteries don't charge via USB. You've gotta carry with you a separate charging system and an AC-DC power brick just to charge the batteries, which makes it very difficult or inefficient to charge their batteries out in the...
Hmmm...
Say that I had a USB-PD charger that could only output 45W max.
So I could set it to output 15V but it could only deliver 3A.
When the DJI charger pulls from it the voltage drop might not be pulled that low, maybe 13V. In that case would the DJI charger continue to try to pull 80W...
Is there a way to calculate voltage drop if the charger tried to pull a lot of amps? What if I set the USB port to output something like 16V instead via USB-PD?
I've got this charger:
https://store.dji.com/product/mavic-car-charger
It takes 12.7 - 16V input from a car and outputs 13.05V at 6.1A (~80W)
I want to utilize a USB-PD and / or USB-C QC 3.0 charger.
I can get a USB-C trigger...
You'll be fine.
- Don't hold your breath when you ascend.
- Don't ascend too quickly - ascend at the rate of your smallest champagne bubbles or slower.
- Don't overwork yourself underwater because that compounds with a faster ascent to give you the bends.
- Don't go over you no-decompression...
I contacted a guy in Australia that does lift kits and this is what he said:
What do you think? It's basically a spacer. What are the pros and cons between spacers and springs and struts? Everything I've read about springs and struts indicates you probably also need different control arms for...
I ended up getting a manual 2007 Subaru Impreza (3rd Gen, so like a 2008 body style).
The Jimny is just too small for everything and I can't sleep in it. But the Impreza is too low for any serious soft road stuff.
So far on the highway cruising at 65mph I get 32mpg measured at the pump. My...
I'm buying a car in Australia and my Charles Schwab account allows free ATM withdrawals overseas, but I needed to add funds to it from my Chase account.
Anyway, I bought the car already. Half with cash and half with a Capital One card.
Man, banking in the USA sucks. I'm in Australia and they've had instant transfers for ages between banks. PayPal isn't necessary. I only need to transfer because I'm buying a car and need to transfer money ASAP between my two USA-based accounts.
I've got a Charles Schwab checking and Chase checking account.
I want to transfer money instantly between the Chase account and the Schwab account without incurring any fees. I've actually been using ACH to do this but it requires 2-3 days to clear the payment. Wondering if there is something...
Kind of off topic, but how many miles / kms do engines typically last? For cars like Delicas, Crown Vics, Hiluxes, and even CRVs I'm seeing ones with mileage of 200k+ miles with the owners saying they still run perfectly fine.
When an engine finally dies, is it an abrupt death or does it occur...
I'm looking for a car that's under $6k, city friendly, fuel efficient, and with a drive system at least as good as a Subaru.
My Subaru Crosstrek in the USA has enough off-road capability for me and gets 6.75L/100km cruising at 100kph fully loaded with gear. Goes up severely rutted forest...
I'm looking into buying a CRV or RAV4 for traveling around Australia.
Which model years are the most capable for offroading for the CRV and RAV4? I understand that in the case of the RAV4 the most recent versions are practically useless offroad.
