    simson0606 reacted to ZestyJalapeno in iPhone Xs/Max bags the top ratings from DisplayMate, DxOMark, Anandtech for Display, Camera and Silicon   
    The status quo on any tech forum especially one as mainstream as LTT is that when any other phone manufacturer out-specs an iPhone on paper is; "Apple is falling behind. Tim Cook needs to rename himself to Tim Cooked." but whenever Apple completely does something truly innovative, such as the A12, the sentiment is "benchmarks do not reflect real world performance". The double standard is quite amusing

    simson0606 reacted to DrMacintosh in FBI unlocked an iPhone X by forcing suspect to use Face ID   
    Pro tip, if being approached by law enforcement, click the power button 5 times to disable biometrics. It will make any iOS device passcode only until it is unlocked again. 
     
    Also in the US Biometrics are not protected like passwords and passcodes are. So the police can unlock your phone with your face legally without your consent.

    It won’t happen.  The lightning connector is better than the type C connector. Easier to plug in, smoother, slightly smaller.

    simson0606 got a reaction from Kalm_Traveler in Rarely-accessed NAS, how important are NAS hdd's?   
    It wouldn't matter much if you would only power up the nas when you need it and shut it down when you're done (not much a nas anymore though)...

    But to be safe i'd then steer away from complex raid types and just stick with raid 1 or raid 10. (rebuilding is much less wear on the working drives)
     
    All in all: nas drives are often not that much more expensive, and if the data is important to you... why not spend a little more for the peace of mind.

    I like their skins, have one on my laptop and on my phone. One time i had some shipping issues but they immediately sent a replacement skin, so their customer service is on point. (and like 6 months later the original one landed on my doorstep... usps/postnl...)

    simson0606 got a reaction from sample text in dumbest question about SSDs   
    In general you would use raid with the same model drive (2x 960 evo for example). Although it will work with different models (same capacity though)
     
    With raid 0 the data will be striped between the drives and will result in roughly double the speed and double the capacity, but when one of the 2 fails all data is gone. also boot times will be slower because raid needs to be initialised.
     
    with raid 1 all data is stored on both drives and will possibly give some advantage in read speeds but the most important part of raid 1 is that 1 drive can fail without much consequences.
     
    EDIT: I woud not recommend buying a different model drive for raid 0 down the line as capacity increases and prices drop. and different models in raid 0 can impact reliability

    simson0606 got a reaction from sample text in dumbest question about SSDs   
    You shouldn't have to work that much, stuff like web browsers other small programs (i'd even include office in that list as an exception) will be no problem on a 120gb drive.

    remember that windows 10 by itself needs to be able to run on a 32gb drive on some tablets, so microsoft needs to keep storage space in mind.

    simson0606 got a reaction from sample text in dumbest question about SSDs   
    Of course the storage medium impacts the launch speed of the application. but in case of the antivirus it would also impact the boot speed because it it loaded on startup.

    So in general: put often used applications on the ssd and also applications that need to be launched on boot. and put the rest wherever you like it.

    simson0606 reacted to MotionFlex in Apple gets dragged into court by relatives in a plane crash, blaming an exploding iPhone   
    Most cases of exploding phone battery are usually the result of someone buy a genuine replacement battery or a genuine charger so some sketchy ass guy who insist its the real deal. So even if phone x catches on fire, it probably isn't company x fault.
