USB is almost ubiquitous now and I would like to know the technical and/or "political" reasons for why it has become so popular.
Since USB has power, ground, transmit and receive pins, it appears to be based on UART. Is this correct? Assuming this is true, then won't USB be slower/have more over...
@Hennes Up to that point though most of those devices, with the exception of HDDs, weren't particularly fast anyway. NICs were only just starting to get to 100mbps, printers were previously on a parallel connection which probably wasn't above 10mbps and there's always the old favourite: "we can make it better later"
I have a PC with 1 integrated Intel 10/100/1000 NIC. I have 2 USB ports (USB 3.0) and 1 PCIe x16 port (PCIe 3.0) free on my motherboard. I would like to buy 2 or 4 additional NICs. Which option is better performance wise and is there some other option of connecting more NICs? What considerations ...
guys, greetings from Syria.. my C: drive is full and I don't know how and why, I mean the only thing there is Android Studio, Visual Studio and the OS, is there any way I can actually give C: more hard disk volume without having to format and wipe out the entire partition?
@CausingUnderflowsEverywhere i usually run ccleaner every now and the, and i turned off disk re-partitioning since my main drive is an ssd. But weirdly enough there were a lot more listed temp files that popped up, but trying to delete them shows they dont exist anymore
COOL, thank you so much and will try what you told me, but is there any way I can give more volume to C:? I mean cut off some of the volume in other drives and just give it to C:?
the only problem here is that if it's a hard drive and you steal space from a partition that's further on the hard drive, that part might have less performance, and the C: drive usually has high performance files.
whenever I change something in my program I switch to my command processor, press up and enter, that makes a rough commit and sends it to my git server where my program is re-compiled and deployed into my test server!
But main problem is my new laptop is too big to fit in pretty much anything small. I wanted to get a small compact bag, smallest laptop bag they sell at John Lewis that it fits in is a £100 Samsonite
@Mokubai I've got an existing £80-ish Lowepro camera bag but it doesn't take a laptop and is a messenger style. Main problem is because I need to carry two bags to take it and my laptop bag, I keep losing/forgetting it when I get off planes
I've literally got off a plane and left it in the overhead bin twice in one day.
Why does everyone keep asking how I'm not broke yet. C'mon it can't be that rare to suffer from sound financial planning having no life and a well paid job.
My main bag is a Think Tank Photo Urban Disguise 60 v2.0. It's large enough to handle two DSLR bodies with battery grips with lenses attached (including one with a 70-200mm f/2.8), and at least two more lenses.
@Rahul2001 I know it doesn't even come near what you're experiencing, but if you want a little schadenfreude, I borked an 1 TB HDD last night. No backups. ;__;
@PowershellforLinux I thought you currently had no work to focus into
@PowershellforLinux Yay, 6 months ~ a whole year of photos and videos I took, music and games I downloaded, backups of a customer site, and random stuff, just gone, so hilarious, lol.
No one to blame but me, I should have backups, but 1 TB HDD costs 10% of my salary ;___;
Ironically I've lost data more times to breaking/borking/misconfiguring RAID arrays meant to protect my data (5) than to actual drive failure the RAID arrays were there to prevent (0)
I had a period where it'd happen every year around the same time
@ThatBrazilianGuy That sucks. I learnt how to take backups the hard way too. What works for me is that as soon as I download something important, or as soon as I'm back from a trip, I copy all the pictures and stuff to two locations by default. As I keep coding and making stuff, I keep saving it to multiple locations.
There was a time when I used to use Google drive, then I tried Dropbox for a bit because I got quite a lot of storage from a promo, but that ended. Then I used One drive for a bit, but although it is renewed with the family plan of office 365, I just don't trust it a lot.
Uploading stuff to my own server leaves me in control, and works best for me
