I've seen multiple deals in the last 4 weeks of 1TB (well, 960GB) SSD's ranging near the $200 US mark. I'm gonna guess that $350 is the new "expensive" 1TB SSD in 2016, Q1/Q2 and then $200 becomes standard place for the cheapies by end of Q1.
Multiple articles, quoting multiple manufacturers seem to claim we'll be seeing, VERY large SSD's in less than 24 months and within 5 years, ridiculously big SSD's (in the 80->120TB mark, iirc)
I'd just like to see an SSD in the 10TB mark, "cheapie" or not, under $300 US within 24 months. My FreeNAs machine is spinning 6x5TB Toshiba 7200RPM disks and it's just gross. The heat, the noise, the failures. Just not fun.
In other news, Seagate made an interesting announcement, which went under the radar. They announced a plethora of different HDD models (I'm so sick of all the sub-product dilution, but I digress) one of which though was an 8TB NON Helium, NON SMR, NON HAMR tech. It's plain, old, regular HDD - no read / re-write / write trickery, no obscure elements required. It's actually a bit of a shock, how long it's taken to release a larger than 6TB disk which works 'normally' The fact this announcement occured in the last month or two and how long ago it was the first 6TB HDD was announced (which didn't require fancy tech) I would have to surprisingly admit that the storage industry is indeed as speculated, moving incredibly rapidly towards ending magnetic drives, they see the writing on the wall and appear to be paying close attention to it. (hence stagnated HDD price reductions at the top end, also)
FWIW: I've hated (and loved) hard disks since my first machine, with a 20MB MFM disk. I still recall the benchmarks. 18ms track to track, 80 or 90ms random reads, 640kb/s sustained (under DOS 6.22) I purchased the first consumer 7200RPM disk, I think it was a 9gb or 18gb (?) version of the WD Expert, $600 at the time
I'll miss HDD's, SSD's have had some real bad stuff go on with them in the past 5 years but considering I plan to utilise them in a NAS eventually, with some redundancy, I'm looking forward to my server cupboard running a bit cooler, quieter and cheaper on electricity
I still don't understand how 3D Nand works or why it's so much cheaper but I'm glad it exists.
I'm not sure where you're getting your evidence here but I think you need to go and do some googling and read up on OLED technology, colour depth, black levels and what have you. This stuff is tried, tested, proven, documented and... honestly, I thought well known?
"As I understand it, current iPhones use IPS (in-plane switching) displays, which, while more expensive offer superior color reproduction."
What? Pardon?
I think you got your technology backwards. OLED is the one which is superior in color reproduction, always has been, by a leaping mile. There are some good IPS displays out there but OLED is superior technology, has been for years (burn in issues aside, I'm talking colour / blakcs)
It's all fine and dandy to joke but the division between the rich and poor is becoming quite significant and getting worse, my fear is, it seems to be speeding up this last decade.
The middle class are being wiped out, you either make it big time or you're in the bottom rungs. Sure we're not squabbling over foodscraps yet but the quality of living is slowly dropping for quite a few.
I agree with you that 4k will be streamed sooner or later but 8k seems a very, very long way off. Like 20 year kind of thing.
To actually REALLY see a difference in 4k over 1080p you start to need a television exceeding 70" (or sit DAMN close) Let alone 8k, I could only imagine 120+" displays at very very close range.
Ipads, surfaces, PC's will be 4k within a couple of years but at that point it's going to be virtually impossible to see the pixels at normal viewing distance (if not now.....!)
You seem to be diverting the topic to security arguments. If the Apple app store login is secure enough to have my real name, payment info, it's secure enough to distribute applications to my ipad - just how it works on Google Play now.
As for itunes sync style, nope not a chance. That's a very poor system and I don't think anyone uses itunes anymore now that they don't have to. (The cloud backups on iphone / ipad work exceptionally)
Regardless even if I did want to do that, I'd still need the ipad in my apt near the itunes enabled PC. As it stands, my mom who doesn't know too much about using these kind of things, can have me remotely install stuff to her Android phone, 100 miles away in about 2 minutes. It's nearly 2016.
I think you're misunderstanding me or..... I explained poorly. I want the ability to REMOTELY install apps to my iPad, sitting on the coffee table downstairs or even on my desk at work while I'm at home, simply by going to the app store website, logging in to my itunes / app store account and clicking 'install' on whatever app. It should then prompt me, "which Apple device?", of the "Apple devices registered on this account"
This is how it works on the Google Play store, it might even be 4 years, not 3.
Before I start, yes I'm an Android guy - but, I do have an iphone and ipad.
How.the.fuck do Apple fans justify that shitty app store? The search is OUTRIGHT BROKEN. It's BROKEN! There's so many fake / spam / SEO'd bullshit apps which come up when you search for something, it's fucking incredible.
It literally doesn't find the app I'm looking for, over 50% of the time. I mean, I'm cool with tech companies not being perfect but this is the "Ever flawless" Apple who always get things right...? It's fundamentally broken. I don't even care that the spam exists! so what? But at least fix the algorithm so when I search for "extremely well known app X" it actually returns a result of the "extremely well known app X" I'm looking for.
While I'm railing on them, one more thing* why in all that is !@#%$ing holy, can I not remotely install apps on my iphone / ipad from my PC? Yeah yeah, I'm an Android guy, I mentioned that,... How can the Google Play store have had this for 3 years+ and third party Android app installers have had it for 5 years. FIVE YEARS.
I'm sitting on my PC for example, reading slashdot, someone says "hey blah blah is a brilliant app on my ipad, it really solved XYZ" I should be able to open a new tab, go to the app store, find the app and click "install to ipad" It's nearly 2016. How is this fucking missing? Worst part is, you ask this, even politely and Apple fans will tell you how "wrong you are" for wanting it. (I'm expecting at least a mixed / logical reaction on this site)
Outright crazy, poor design, backwards thinking. These are good features. It's nuts.
* Jesus I wish slashdot was still highly relevant, there might be a miniscule chance of an Apple person actually reading the post and fixing this idiocy.
Sorry but I suspect encrypted or not, it's extremely unlikely it wouldn't be taken anyhow. That's just how this stuff is. With a very very long process in getting it back to boot.
Moderate you up, or comment...... I'll take comment. Yep yep and yep. Even if 1/10 of these stories became real products, we'd be brimming with ridiculously powerful batteries.
As it stands right now, cell phones continue to have meddling batteries that last 6 hours of continuous use or 1.5 to 2 days at best on standby (and that's for customers who turn off BT, Wifi, GPS when not used)
I don't need a miracle battery that'll make the phone run for 19 weeks. I'm cool charging it now and then. However a phone which lasts 4 or 5 days on standby (WITH the BT, Wifi and GPS ON) would be kinda nice.
Also, obviously such tech would help the motor industry. I guess tech is tech, we can't rush it, if it can't be done yet, so be it - but these tools endlessly announcing the greatest thing since sliced bread need to ease up. Slow news weeks I guess, tech sites endlessly looking for more idiot clicks:/
I don't hugely care about PC games or very much the sillyness of MGS anymore but good lord, this is a terrible move.
Some countries have data caps. I haven't read the article, or googled a damn thing but I'm going to make my guess right now and speculate this game is at least a 30gb download..... probably more like a full 50. In my case, that would be 50% of my monthly allowed internet quota.
Someone specifically buying a retail copy to avoid this is going to get stung. Super lame. Konami
Within 3 to 6 months some tool will come out from someone, similar to classic shell but for privacy. It'll disable any and everything properly and "fix" any odd crap straight up.
Let other people get messy with it. I mean you could just not use it but for some of us, that isn't an option. I'm happy to wait for a cool tool, probably be published like most useful free tools on Ninite.com as well, it'll be a piece of cake.
Between your post and Rudy's one (" One of the most common comments I see from people, over and over, is "If I want a browser that looks and works like Chrome, I'LL USE FUCKING CHROME." )
Seems like most of slashdot is on the same page I'm at:/
Fuck Mozilla are proper grade A dipsticks. Man do I miss Firefox of old. I don't even use Firefox anymore, it's too fucking unstable, I've switched to Waterfox, at least a 64bit version of Firefox crashes vastly less than the stock 32
How the fuck do we not have the multi-thread version yet though? This program runs like pig shit and why can't they copy Chrome with the fucking little speaker showing me which tab is playing noise? (It's probably fucking IBTimes.com again, fuck those people!)
You mean to tell me users data is stored in a SINGLE DC and not redundant elsewhere?
I find that easy to believe for most "cloud" providers but google? Really? Ummmmmmmm? So presumably if someone took out the right, big big DC in a huge fasion, many users would be fucked by it?
I've had to purchase woolen jumpers, business jackets, 220v heated floor mats and I wear a full length white undershirt under my shirt.
The only time I'm warm in the office is if I load up on a heap of carbohydrates or sugar (my metabolism is toasty when I overeat) besides that, it's often far, far too cold.
I find it quite frustrating, sure too hot will send you to sleep but too cold is also awful.
The moderation of the above post is just more evidence of the problem.
Did I dare to question what SJW's are doing is right? Yes. Did I accuse all SJW's of being a problem? No - not even slightly. I asked for some recognition that both sides of the fence in the debate have bad eggs.
So someone goes and accuses *all* gamergaters of being a problem. I try to be more reasonable, not only do I agree SOME are a problem, I then make a very reasonable claim that perhaps some SJW's are extremist and bad eggs too. I'm rewarded with downvotes, oh no, groupthink has spoken.
It's clear from my posts, I'm an abusive "shitlord" someone who is obviously racist, homophobic, ignorant etc. It couldn't even be remotely possible that I'm just applying some common sense to a debate between 2 angry sides here, no sirree! by not towing the line, I MUST be a bad egg, a "troll" according to the moderation.
And this exact behaviour, from the group, ever looking for more reasons to be offended, is precisely what "scares" people into doing more research into gamergate and the general SJW "culture". Censor anyone who doesn't agree, accuse them of racism, misogyny, etc and give them ALL labels, you're just making more people defensive even though the "primary" principles of SJW's are actually good things! As I said in my other posts, I've had very little luck finding anyone even remotely willing to discuss this sensibly is presicely why I found myself going from what I thought was a left leaning person, the other way.
Keep up the great moderation, please. I'm definitely a bad and hateful guy here! Trying to push my agenda,... Anyone else reading this will likely wonder why I've suddenly been moderated in such a way and perhaps they too can do some reading into the hardcore "our way or the highway" SJW approach to discussion on the internet.
Show me a single time an SJW on the internet has called out other SJW's doxing and generally being pieces of shit? It has happened, many, many times. The "good guys" team has bad eggs too, those bad eggs have doxed people, harassed people, had people fired.
Has the overall general SJW clique called out their own harassers and said "hey, don't do this, let's not stoop to their level" No,.. no they fucking haven't.
The fact you're comfortable labeling *ALL* of the gamergaters as punks, without being willing to entertain the thought that, "hey, maybe not all of them are troublemakers" is half the problem. People don't like being accused of shit they didn't do or wouldn't do. This labeling of people simply asking questions, forces them into the defensive camp. It's the entire reason I'm more pro than anti, because I don't like asking questions and having people going crazy at me and accusing me of things.
But nope, definitely all the GG's fault, they caused all the trouble. Not a small fraction of stupid people.
Gamergate is vastly larger than being about "gamers" now, so so much vastly bigger. The word "gamergate" is actually doing it a disservice.
The crux of most of the discussions which still continue about it, is mostly about the censorship, fear of discussing things for fear of being labelled, pushing a particular agenda. There's most certainly extremists on both sides but from where I'm sitting it appears the "SJW camp" are utterly incapable of sitting back, self reflecting and saying "whoah, hang on a minute, perhaps we're being overly critial here"
If you don't INSTANTLY and completely agree with them and some of their batshit crazy triggering / abuse / sexist / racist / "wrong" concepts, then *you're* clearly the problem and you must be an ignorant / racist / sexist / homophobe.
I am *not* stupid enough to think that all the pro-gg people are nice people, there's obviously people who hate women, are racists, are insensitive fucks - but for the most part, the stuff I've been reading the last 3 months, they honestly seem fairly well balanced and capable of correcting themselves or others in that community to "hey, don't be the piece of shit, the SJW's claim you're being"
I grew up with a lot of British humour, I have a dark sense of humour. I've SERIOUSLY adjusted my humour over the years to try to be more sensitive but the batshit loopy "trigger this" nutters who want everything covered in cotton wool are driving me from being a lefty to a righty, something I never thought I'd say.
"Gamergaters" have harassed people online, those harassers are foolish. HOWEVER, some "gamergaters" have simply had the audacity to refute incorrect points or even just ask questions, how dare they... "SJW's" however have never and would never harass anyone, they are "in the right!" they've never cost anyone their job or harassed anyone,... nope, never hipocritical. They have carte blanche in dictating what you say and deciding what you intended by saying it.
Ultimately gamergate is much bigger than video games, so much bigger, that name is a massive disservice. (Note: I am not endorsing abuse, I'm simply saying "hey, how about some fucking plain old common sense" which appears to have vanished)
Even if it's intel, rather than a tinpot outfit, I think it's very unlikely we're going to see this product on shelves ready to use in less than 4 to 6 years.
What's it for also? It's going to wear out? So using it as standard RAM is probably not practical. Should it simply be a replacement to SSD's? an even faster primary storage device?
I clicked some stuff in a pretty deceptive box which kept coming up on Youtube about my name, not clearly outling what it was about to do (bind my gmail / google account to youtube)
Problem is, uncoupling it (which I've always been able to do) COMPLETELY hides / "damages" my videos. You can no longer view them, they are bound to the G+ account now, NOT the original account.
If I re-activate G+, bam the videos are back. This has, I admit, made me post significantly more carefully in youtube comments. That being said, I've also held back on a plethora of youtube comments simply as I don't want even my hobbies known / tracked by others. My privacy is pretty important to me, and having my "real" google identity become my youtube comment identity was definitely an issue. (Before anyone says it, not all youtube comments are ghastly. I'd say quite a good portion are infact, quite good and informative)
So,.......... will this be a FULL reversal? Pull my G+ account away from YT AND restoring my old YT data / profile / videos / views?
Movie is utterly fascinating, awesome soundtrack. If you're into nuke porn (sorry, I am, in a big way) it's beautiful, just incredible.
There's also a couple of very comprehensive docos on the Manhattan Project but I'll be damned if I can recall which was the good one I've seen, it was quite long and detailed.
Thank god we're finally calling these morons out for what they are.
There's a big difference between someone wanting equality and someone whining and neighing about anything and everything, in an endless hunt to be the most offended person possible.
Slashdot Mirror
I've seen multiple deals in the last 4 weeks of 1TB (well, 960GB) SSD's ranging near the $200 US mark.
I'm gonna guess that $350 is the new "expensive" 1TB SSD in 2016, Q1/Q2 and then $200 becomes standard place for the cheapies by end of Q1.
Multiple articles, quoting multiple manufacturers seem to claim we'll be seeing, VERY large SSD's in less than 24 months and within 5 years, ridiculously big SSD's (in the 80->120TB mark, iirc)
I'd just like to see an SSD in the 10TB mark, "cheapie" or not, under $300 US within 24 months. My FreeNAs machine is spinning 6x5TB Toshiba 7200RPM disks and it's just gross. The heat, the noise, the failures. Just not fun.
In other news, Seagate made an interesting announcement, which went under the radar. They announced a plethora of different HDD models (I'm so sick of all the sub-product dilution, but I digress) one of which though was an 8TB NON Helium, NON SMR, NON HAMR tech.
It's plain, old, regular HDD - no read / re-write / write trickery, no obscure elements required. It's actually a bit of a shock, how long it's taken to release a larger than 6TB disk which works 'normally' The fact this announcement occured in the last month or two and how long ago it was the first 6TB HDD was announced (which didn't require fancy tech) I would have to surprisingly admit that the storage industry is indeed as speculated, moving incredibly rapidly towards ending magnetic drives, they see the writing on the wall and appear to be paying close attention to it.
(hence stagnated HDD price reductions at the top end, also)
FWIW: I've hated (and loved) hard disks since my first machine, with a 20MB MFM disk. I still recall the benchmarks. 18ms track to track, 80 or 90ms random reads, 640kb/s sustained (under DOS 6.22)
I purchased the first consumer 7200RPM disk, I think it was a 9gb or 18gb (?) version of the WD Expert, $600 at the time
I'll miss HDD's, SSD's have had some real bad stuff go on with them in the past 5 years but considering I plan to utilise them in a NAS eventually, with some redundancy, I'm looking forward to my server cupboard running a bit cooler, quieter and cheaper on electricity
I still don't understand how 3D Nand works or why it's so much cheaper but I'm glad it exists.
I'm not sure where you're getting your evidence here but I think you need to go and do some googling and read up on OLED technology, colour depth, black levels and what have you. This stuff is tried, tested, proven, documented and ... honestly, I thought well known?
"As I understand it, current iPhones use IPS (in-plane switching) displays, which, while more expensive offer superior color reproduction."
What?
Pardon?
I think you got your technology backwards. OLED is the one which is superior in color reproduction, always has been, by a leaping mile.
There are some good IPS displays out there but OLED is superior technology, has been for years (burn in issues aside, I'm talking colour / blakcs)
It's all fine and dandy to joke but the division between the rich and poor is becoming quite significant and getting worse, my fear is, it seems to be speeding up this last decade.
The middle class are being wiped out, you either make it big time or you're in the bottom rungs. Sure we're not squabbling over foodscraps yet but the quality of living is slowly dropping for quite a few.

Let alone 8k, I could only imagine 120+" displays at very very close range.

I am *not* stupid enough to think that all the pro-gg people are nice people, there's obviously people who hate women, are racists, are insensitive fucks - but for the most part, the stuff I've been reading the last 3 months, they honestly seem fairly well balanced and capable of correcting themselves or others in that community to "hey, don't be the piece of shit, the SJW's claim you're being"
I grew up with a lot of British humour, I have a dark sense of humour. I've SERIOUSLY adjusted my humour over the years to try to be more sensitive but the batshit loopy "trigger this" nutters who want everything covered in cotton wool are driving me from being a lefty to a righty, something I never thought I'd say.
"Gamergaters" have harassed people online, those harassers are foolish.
HOWEVER, some "gamergaters" have simply had the audacity to refute incorrect points or even just ask questions, how dare they...
"SJW's" however have never and would never harass anyone, they are "in the right!" they've never cost anyone their job or harassed anyone,... nope, never hipocritical. They have carte blanche in dictating what you say and deciding what you intended by saying it.
Ultimately gamergate is much bigger than video games, so much bigger, that name is a massive disservice.
(Note: I am not endorsing abuse, I'm simply saying "hey, how about some fucking plain old common sense" which appears to have vanished)
Even if it's intel, rather than a tinpot outfit, I think it's very unlikely we're going to see this product on shelves ready to use in less than 4 to 6 years.
What's it for also? It's going to wear out? So using it as standard RAM is probably not practical. Should it simply be a replacement to SSD's? an even faster primary storage device?
I clicked some stuff in a pretty deceptive box which kept coming up on Youtube about my name, not clearly outling what it was about to do (bind my gmail / google account to youtube)
Problem is, uncoupling it (which I've always been able to do) COMPLETELY hides / "damages" my videos. You can no longer view them, they are bound to the G+ account now, NOT the original account.
If I re-activate G+, bam the videos are back.
This has, I admit, made me post significantly more carefully in youtube comments. That being said, I've also held back on a plethora of youtube comments simply as I don't want even my hobbies known / tracked by others. My privacy is pretty important to me, and having my "real" google identity become my youtube comment identity was definitely an issue.
(Before anyone says it, not all youtube comments are ghastly. I'd say quite a good portion are infact, quite good and informative)
So,.......... will this be a FULL reversal? Pull my G+ account away from YT AND restoring my old YT data / profile / videos / views?

Movie is utterly fascinating, awesome soundtrack.
If you're into nuke porn (sorry, I am, in a big way) it's beautiful, just incredible.
There's also a couple of very comprehensive docos on the Manhattan Project but I'll be damned if I can recall which was the good one I've seen, it was quite long and detailed.
Thank god we're finally calling these morons out for what they are.
There's a big difference between someone wanting equality and someone whining and neighing about anything and everything, in an endless hunt to be the most offended person possible.
