I would tend to think that there wouldn't be a DMCA violation since Apple owns the protection
It wouldn't be a DMCA violation, because it wouldn't be circumventing protection on copyrighted material. But really, the encryption software was implemented by the consumer, so I'd consider them the owner of the protection.
couple of HGST HDS5C3030ALA630, which became the DT01ACA300 Toshibas
I think that's how I ended up buying Toshiba. When I realized that it's what had been HGST, which has had a good track record for a while now (especially on Backblaze's report).
it's helped to remind me not to so easily write off the entire companies drives.
Except Western Digital, right? What happened to the Red drives? They run slow and don't have intentional anti-RAID hobbling. They should be decent choices. If they weren't overpriced, I would have gone with those (thankfully I didn't).
Mine are in the basement, and are at 35 degrees right now. And I have 5 drives crammed into a mini tower (OS + 4 drive RAID). Not too far off from their test range, so I'll be using their help in a year or so when I replace all my drives. I probably won't even need more storage by then, but I hate having old spinning drives. The last upgrade was so I could rip my Blu-Ray collection.
I haven't run ethernet to the right spot or PoE for an access point yet. So despite my router being in a utility room in the basement, it covers my small house and I have nowhere better to place an access point.
And the beginning of a resurgence of high demand for consumer routers without built-in wireless. I can get by with access points - the only reason I need custom firmware is for the better routing/filtering/QoS
They keep their drives between 20 and 30 degrees Celsius and find no correlation at all between drive failure and temperature: https://www.backblaze.com/blog...
After looking at data on over 34,000 drives, I found that overall there is no correlation between temperature and failure rate.
To check correlations, I used the point-biserial correlation coefficient on drive average temperatures and whether drives failed or not. The result ranges from -1 to 1, with 0 being no correlation, and 1 meaning hot drives always fail.
I do run 24/7/365, so most of their data will just be more extreme. I think that it's better than no starting point at all for buying drives for a home server.
It may be different with 10,000 disks vs 4 disks, but I wouldn't trust a drive once it has one remapped (or pending remap) sector. I'd be worrying about replacing it, not remapping, because it tends to be a sign of impending failure.
If you pick something that doesn't fail under their extreme circumstances, it's a lot less likely to fail at home.
I should have used their report to plan my home RAID. I have 4 x 3TB Toshiba drives. And 3 of them are the DT01ACA300, which is a little less reliable than the Seagates they chose (but thankfully way better than Western Digital). I didn't even buy the 3 drives from different vendors. I bought 3 in one place, likely from the same batch. The fourth was an external drive, scavenged for its internal drive and as a replacement enclosure for a friend because it was a good price and for a little diversity. That was a DT01ABA300, which is apparently a little different and potentially more reliable.
I am on a Hackintosh (something not possible in the XP days) but XLD is very nice - it's open source, but there's no Windows port. You get two choices of music database (MusicBrainz and Freedb) and it makes it very easy to tweak after pulling through the data. I love iTunes for playback and its display of album art, but I hate it for ripping. Literally anything is better, because iTunes has a tendency to corrupt the tags such that other programs (or even itself sometimes) won't read them correctly.
A basic software engineer will say "we'll just re-pair the sensors". Which is great, until you realize you just created a security hole - what if what you just attached wasn't a sensor, but something more sophisticated? Perhaps it's something that pretends it's a sensor, but is really an attack device.
So disable the sensor and fall back to a PIN unlock and don't allow the user to re-pair until the phone is unlocked. And of course the re-pairing process would have to explain why re-pairing is necessary.
If BBC wants some money, they should open up iPlayer as a subscription service to the US. Obviously, any show they manage to license to a cable network would not be included in the subscription, but everything else is just sitting there untapped. I am not going to buy cable just to get BBC America.
Great, so this gets you end-to-spam filter encryption. Anyone who has their email delivered to a 3rd-party for spam filtering could appear secure but would only be secure for the first hop. False sense of security.
When it does it on the server, it's still auto-adapting and it's still not WYSIWYG. I don't see any practical difference between work done on the client and work done on the server. It's not resource-intensive, by any means.

You're not supposed to use the stock firmware.

From Backblaze's own mouth:

Correlation of Temperature and Failure: 0.0

This. And it's still completely useless.
Looks like a Google employee managed to get an advertising piece linked to from Slashdot's main page.
Save part of the thing to print microscopic human-readable instructions a la Voyager 1.

1. Buy a bunch of these phones
2. Sell them abroad on eBay for $10-15
3. That's really it
4. Profit!

If you're on a Mac, try out XLD.
Anyway why would I trust an apple approved repairer, more than anyone else all it takes is one individual doing the repairs to be corrupt.
And if you go that far, why even trust Apple itself?

In an emergency, you don't unlock your phone - you just dial an emergency number.

OTA is growing in the US. And for me, the picture quality beats Netflix almost every time.
