omg, it’s so nice
- Comment on Shit, I'd pay $9 1 week ago:
I get how you feel, but the social construct around mobile communication communications started to evolve very quickly, and then mid 90s. I know, because I was there. From when and where and why to call someone on their cell phone, when texting was appropriate, and a lot more stuff on top of that that has continued to evolve even until today.
The social etiquette has evolved, but I also relate to something else that may be affecting you: getting a little older. Not being so “in touch“ with the goings on, that you feel a little bit left behind. I can definitely relate to that.
Every issue you raised in your comment is actively being considered, it’s just that not everybody is up on the latest ways to deal with all of that. But there are ways to do with that, too.

it’s been a feature on my iPhone for 3-5 years
- Comment on Shit, I'd pay $9 1 week ago:
I love this, too, but it’s hardly “new”
- Comment on Shit, I'd pay $9 1 week ago:
don’t most smartphones do that nowadays?
I mean… it was pretty great several years ago when it was new, but it’s a standard feature in most smartphones now, yes?
- Comment on Shit, I'd pay $9 1 week ago:
no service starts enshittified. It would be great for a year or two, and THEN the company would ruin the service with ads.

It’s tuna. Get over it.
- Comment on Tune a fish 1 week ago:
Umm… where are you getting this from?
- Comment on Tune a fish 1 week ago:
There’s a difference between “tuna” and “tuna fish”.
“Tuna” is a fish
“Tuna fish” is an approximation. A culinary goal, if you will. It starts as simply a flavor and can evolve all the way into a composite fast food sandwich. And while either, both, and or everything in between may taste exactly like tuna, it isn’t. It’s “tuna fish“. Because it didn’t start there, it merely ended there.
Similar to the difference between butter and margarine

Really surprised that you had one of those drives to fail on you. It’s extremely rare. I’d still stick with them if I were you, even if I had one once.

Most people would only ever need consumer grade drives. But if you’re running a server and you expected it to last a long time with a high level of reliability, you gotta go with the server grade drives.
The thing I didn’t realize is that EXOS drives are cheaper than other enterprise grade drives. They didn’t used to be. historically, they’ve always been the most expensive.

Oh, so it was pretty recent? Sorry to hear that buddy.
What kind of drives are you buying? What’s your use case?

Honestly? Right off of Amazon. Pricing depends on the capacity, and I’m sure it’s gone up. But the pricing is always been very good, at or just beneath market rates. Seagate has an official Amazon store, so you’ll often see stuff on sale there. Including certified, pre-used drives, although I’ve never taken a plunge on that option.

No fucking way. Do you have any more diagnostic telemetry about that you’d be willing to share?

I remember that. Those deskstar hard drives were pretty big and well priced, but they had a gigantic failure rate right out of the gate. But, by then, both Seagate and Western Digital had serious standing in the hard drive game, and people weren’t going to IBM for hard drives anymore.
But, the “click of death“ didn’t start with those drives, it just happened at such a high rate, that is how most people became familiar with that symptom of hard drive failure.

I’ve been exclusively using Seagate EXOS drives for my Plex server for the last 15 years, and in several other Plex servers that I administer. Never had a single one fail. They’re excellent.

Hitachi. Their hard drives were fucking shit.
