I used a 60 something year olds phone once, she seems pretty good with technology, can use facebook, emails, download apps and that stuff
then I opened chrome
I didn't know a phone browser could keep that many tabs open. she just doesn't know how to use them so they've just piled up
I've never been a fan of clipboard manager stuff
i always treat my clipboard as ephemeral

I can totally understand this actually
both WP IE and Android Chrome """have""" tabbed browsing but since there's no actual visual indicator of tabs (other than that little square on Android) they can just pile up as you open new stuff or search for things. I regularly catch myself with a 20+ tab pile of things I haven't seen in a week.
I'm sure at some point it just stores a screenshot of the tab and the URL you were on, and just reloads it on demand, though.
My 4TB WD My Book external hard drive got full, so I was thinking of getting one of [URL="https://www.amazon.ca/Seagate-BarraCuda-3-5-Inch-Internal-ST10000DM0004/dp/B01IA9H22Q/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1490465262&sr=8-1-fkmr0&keywords=eagate%2BBarraCuda%2BPro%2BST10000DM0004%2B10TB&th=1"]these 10TB hard drives[/URL] and building a home network NAS. That way I have a local copy of everything and everything is synced up to Google Drive. I've yet to look at NAS enclosures but ideally it would have enough CPU/RAM to handle syncing to Google Drive and maybe run some small home server things (i.e. VPN, VPS, Plex). I may need to get a new router and not use the modem/router combo that my ISP provided.
Ideally I'd want it to be fast enough to handle video editing over LAN, which is why I picked this drive instead of the NAS-specific drive (which also has the shorter warranty). I may either put the NAS beside my router and run a long Gigabit Ethernet cable to my room, or have the NAS in my room and have it connected to my computer via Ethernet cable or USB 3 or whatever the enclosure may have, and have it connected to the Internet via WiFi instead. My home Internet isn't particularly fast anyways at 60/10.
I'd want this to be accessible from the outside, in the off chance that I need something that Google Drive hasn't uploaded/synced to the cloud yet.
The whole point of this NAS was to have a local copy of everything I have on my Google Drive account (which has unlimited storage), and to store files of projects I am done with as a back up locally and on Google Drive. Historically, what I would do is store it on an external hard drive, then upload it to Google Drive manually but that was time consuming so I figured it's better to have a local solution that would transfer files locally super fast, then sync to Google Drive 24/7.
When I have the NAS running, what will probably happen is that it will take a week or two to download 5.5TB worth of stuff and from there, I can more easily organize everything versus using Google Drive's web client. My main concern is making the NAS work with Google Drive in such a way that the directory of everything is at the root of the drive letter versus "C:\Users\Gary\Google Drive" with the Google Drive desktop app. There's probably a way to change that.
Or I can get one of these and not have to build anything [url]https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00TB8XNEC?ref=emc_b_5_i&th=1[/url]
You don't build a NAS with a single 10TB drive, especially if you want speed.
You're far better off building a NAS with 4x 4TB drives for example. You'd be getting much more performance over a single drive, and a lot more more raw space for similar amount of budget. Multiple drives also allows you to have some reliability if desired, depending on the RAID mode you choose and your intended purposes.
I dismantled a laptop and thought that hey, I could get a webcam out of this.

What's that GPI:2 port though? I imagine it goes GND/-5V, +5V, Data - and Data + on an USB cable, but the fifth one is throwing me off.
That says GPIO2, it's most likely a control signal coming from the motherboard.
You can try solder the remaining 4 wires to a USB cable and see if the webcam will work without it.

Usb OTG is 5 pin, which would make it the ID port.
really annoyed with google and their financing bank
so i want a pixel xl with device protection, got approved for a thousand dollar credit line
"pixel xl 128 gb with device protection - $968 + tax" comes out to like 1030, called their weekend support, "yeah we can't raise your limit, sorry"
guess i gotta call on monday and see if they can do a manager override, otherwise no device protection for me
Dealt with the devil today, had to troubleshoot a printer/scanner combo so I could get a rail card. Still half tempted to not return it downstairs and throw it out the window instead.
Crap, can't get my old-ass wacom bamboo to work. Shame to see the Bamboo Dock servers are down and the drivers provided on site aren't working.

Can you not just pay the $30 on top, without the extra credit?

Assuming it's Synchrony, I don't think you can.
Also, why would anyone pay that much for a damn phone.
no splitting payment on Google store so nope (and yup it's synchrony)
to be fair that's how much an iPhone would cost you if you were to buy it outright

Reading up on RAID configs and such since I haven't done anything with them yet..
So if I have let's say 2 4TB drives and have them in RAID1, it would give me essentially double the read speed of a single drive? That would be useful for video editing, however the bottleneck is probably going to be on my CPU or Premiere Pro being a piece of shit anyways..
Regardless, I would be the only one accessing the NAS anyways (with like one computer) so as terrible as it sounds, one big drive may be enough. I'm probably going to end up using it like a glorified cloud-connected external hard drive (without buying one built specifically for that sort of thing) for the most part. As long as things can sync to Google Drive 24/7, then it should be good.
However, if the drive fails, then the local copy would likely be inaccessible and if I did have 2 drives in RAID1, then it probably would be recoverable/in a way that it won't require me to re-download 10TB of stuff..

Depends on the controller, but typically no, RAID1 doesn't speed up anything. And often has a small performance penalty of a few %.

RAID-1 have no write speed improvement, but it speeds up read by n times.

The 10TB drive costs almost $600, whereas a 4TB drive costs about $165.
There's no reason for you to get the 10TB drive with that price difference, unless storage density is important (which isn't in your case).

I feel like if they're willing to offer him $1000, $30 more isn't a much bigger risk.

I have trained myself to Ctrl+C a random letter whenever I'm done using my clipboard contents, no matter what those contents actually are, just so I don't end up accidentally pasting something somewhere I shouldn't.

That's exactly why I'm getting 4x4tb
Of course the real solution is to get 4x10TB

Prices are fucking weird, 10TB drive is still $600 in aus but 4TB is $200.

Again, depends on the controller. Not all of em support read striping.

RAID 1 is a standard level that has existed since the beginning of time. Even Intel's chipset softraid supports it with read striping.

Why would you buy such an expensive device on credit anyway. Putting yourself in debt for something that doesn't give you a long term gain seems like a pretty bad idea. And what's with you Americans and applying for a credit card of a thousand dollars? I've never heard of it around here, but I see it on facepunch every once in a while.
