In Hetzner's defence, it happened twice on RAID 1 setups on one of our servers, and after dropping a ticket basically saying "look, this is the second time, can you give us a drive that isn't a dinosaur please" they did

Often poor planning or just lithium based batteries far too close to the physical servers. OVH's massive fire a couple of years ago in one of the most modern DC's at the time was a prime example of just how wrong it can go.

I've had the same experience. Hetzners ARM VPS servers have been noticeably better than even their own AMD and Intel (The Intel ones are awful and clearly running on old customer hardware).

On the hardware side of things not using server grade stuff really isn't as big of a deal these days. I'd happily take a decent Ryzen 5 or 7 series over a "new" Xeon that has twice the power consumption and mysteriously

Hetzner has a very bespoke setup. Their DC's mostly run on their own renewable power sources and have been refined to the limit, combined with recycling hardware for longer periods, not using server chassis or off the shelf components

So you're saying its fine to go backwards on a11y as long as you dont remove some settings to switch to an afterthought that doesn't always have feature parity, and is often buggy with little care or thought being given to those w

What shop? What on earth are you on about? Every single business in the entirety of the UK charges 3% more to cover virgin giving away cheaper flights? Use your words as this sounds nuts. Credit card rewards aren't exclusive to the UK

If I am then so is every other traveler with every single airline in the world. Go on Virgin Atlantics site, search for any flight, you can then apply points to that, or redeem a companion voucher. That doesn't bump the price up prior

I never said Liquid Glass is bad design. I never even mentioned anything about individual elements, nor brought up anything about who it is bad for (and this is one of those occasions where no, it's not a "people aren't used

Bit wary about this. Theres no videos of it ever running, and even the specs cant list basics like print speed. This is vapourware with a terrible license, not to mention likely violates one of the thousands of patents printer manufacturers

Cool concept, just please never ever do this in anything production, it's bad enough we've now got a mainline OS with such awful legibility.

Which sucks because it's not exactly fantastic as a competitor. There's still very, very noticeable performance differences and render speed/pattern differences that after you've been using a chromium based browser for a

Of course he did, you arent forced to use anything Apple provides you on macos (or even ios these days).

Thats pretty much a given, but what the real takeaway should be from most of the content is that whatever you are doing, these days the answer in all likelihood is not to buy a raspberry pi. It's specs to price just do not add up at al

I mean, the developer chose to use Apples limiting browser, that was a choice not a requirement.

I think the funniest thing about this whole mess is Youtubers asking their viewers to unblock it. Or in LTT's case, consistently banging on about it like it affects their audience - the audience really do not care (nor should they need

The whole "Liquid Glass" UI is by far their worst ever take on a design language. It feels like stepping backwards to web 2.0 but with even bigger accessibility issues. It doesn't look or feel modern, its ugly, inconsistent a

Yep my closest one (despite being on the edge of a major city) shows as 8 miles away, in the middle of a field. When I open it up on Google maps its a derelict barn in the middle of private land with no roads. Meanwhile I can literally see

Seems to be the case with most of the Pi projects left these days. It's turned into a bit of a "oh cool, thats neat" thing that nobody is practically using day to day as there's better alternatives that are cheaper and&#

Surely its obvious - grip and protection. Fairly well established that they're slippy, and dropping them means gouges being taken out of the frame, or if you're really unlucky, cracked glass.

Yeah I'll never understand how anyone can use an iPhone without it being in a case, it's just not practical or comfortable to hold without a case adding grip.

On a somewhat related note, would you trust a Pi based NAS long term? I've not tried doing one since the Pi 4 which understandably because of its hardware limitations left a lot to be desired, but that part aside I was still finding th

We're still a long way before it being a viable option to ditch all other devices for. If they could get it working as an AR glasses wirelessly reliant on an iPhone then that would be the thing that makes it go from weird overpriced us
