Based on the fact that a single header can support two ports max, and based on the image where the wire quantities are clearly split, I imagine that this splitter would indeed work as long as the connectors are compatible with your chassis. But you'd only be able to use two ports max at one time.

I currently have a 2600X at about 4GHz paired with a GTX 1070 overclocked to about 2GHz.

CrystalDiskInfo is reporting 68,650 hours, which amounts to 7.8ish years.

The oldest one I have is a WD Blue from 2011. Literally almost 8 years on the clock according to CrystalDiskInfo lol.

You can use a NAS drive as a regular desktop drive as long as it has the proper interface. They're just more robust and come with a longer warranty. On a fundamental level, there's no difference between desktop grade and NAS grade drives.

That doesn't make them scam artists lol. That just means their products are overpriced.

No, they have coatings on the surface of the actual screen.

That's a fairly bold claim on the part of them being scam artists.

Heck, I would buy it just because it's probably going to be rare.

But you can't deny that it's nice to have choices to account for differing budgets. More people than in the past can have a computer or smartphone. I mean, real talk, if companies only ever offered their highest end product, they would be forced to make a lower end product anyway because people wouldn't be able to afford it. Even if it's a conspiracy to make money, it allows more people to have access to those items.

We may have different perspectives as I live in the States right now, and I haven't really been out of state all that much. I feel like this is still too broad of a scope, as transportation is a very generic word. When I used it, I was truly being inclusive of all transportation items. While pollution is definitely a concern, even with electric cars, pollution is still an issue as in a lot of areas, electrical energy is generated from burning fossil fuels. So I don't know if we can really include it as part of the discussion - most of our energy generation really is from fossil fuels, at least

As far as I'm concerned, crime is still an improvement. I mean it depends on what time period we're talking about, if we're trying to do a proper comparison. Elaborate on why you disagree with me on transportation. I'm keeping a more objective viewpoint, so anything subjective I tend to stay away from.

Yeah, 6 years is definitely plenty long for support of a smartphone, and it's not like you're completely in the dark in terms of security. If it's something that could be risky, they will patch older devices. And, it's not like Apple is locking you out of the device.

I mean, other than the cell phone and GPS part, it's not that awful. I mean, seriously. There are worse things.

I think for the vast majority of things, we've improved greatly. Sanitation, computation, transportation, architecture, agriculture. I don't know of any things we really haven't improved on. Even in other areas like hunger, crime, etc, I think we've still made great progress.
