I'm pretty sure that's only a theory and not something that's ever actually been confirmed. That said people on /r/datahoarder have raved about those drives for 5+ years at this point, and so far all 6 of my drives have been going strong after 6 years of constant abuse.

What standby mode does your laptop use? Classic S3 standby, or S0 standby like most modern laptops are forced into?

Just know that higher RPM doesn't necessarily mean higher noise. In my experience Helium filled drives can be pretty quiet, and basically all really high capacity drives are helium filled.

I have an arm of shucked WD drives and while I can hear them from time to time, they're not bad. Also your case makes a huge difference. Make sure the drives are on rubber isolators, and what they're mounted on can't vibrate to make any noise. The only noise I hear from these drives is when they first spin up after being idled.

starting in lemmy 0.19: (username in top right) > settings > Import/Export Settings > export

Then import on your new community and all of your subscriptions, settings, etc will be migrated over. Comments/posts won't migrate over, but besides basic user settings followed_communities, saved_posts, saved_comments, blocked_communities, blocked_users, and blocked_instances get copied over. It's not instantly after it loads. I just tested it and it's taken about 5 minutes now and it's still going through my subscriptions (maybe 50/360) and then blocked instances are next and it should be done.

Double checked and it's done done now about 13 mintues after I made the comment. So maybe 20 minutes to impot a profile with a large number of subscriptions.

Is 5640 RPM acceptable? WD reds are all about 5400rpm and are basically the gold standard for NAS HDDs.

You can shuck them out of WD easy store drives sold at best buy. They're white label drives from WD, but they're all based on the red/red pro drives.

Collections is exactly what I'd love to see added to lemmy. Especially if the collections has the ability to filter out posts cross posed to different communities.

Tesla: people really like that you can just order a car online and not have to deal with slimey sales tactics. What can we do to fuck even that up too?

Did you expect a doorbell with a camera built into it to not be "smart"?

Does the monitor have 3.5mm out port on it? If so then any HDMI device should work, with the 3.5mm port plugged into the monitor.

Odds are your Linux install overwrote OCLP. You'd need to install OCLP again and configure it to boot from either Mac OS or your Linux install.

And with GPT partition you can have 128 partitions so ~120 different OSes easily on a single drive.

OP is using OpenCore Legacy Patcher to run an newer OS on an unsupported machine. The option boot menu won't work, they'd need to get back to the OCLP menu to boot Mac OS.
