user224 , to technology in Western Digital, SanDisk Extreme SSDs don’t store data safely, lawsuit says

Same here. I’ve only stopped using their stuff when it was already too small for me. Their CruzerBlade flash drives are my favorite flash drives thanks to their fast random access. I installed Linux Mint on 1 of them and it runs fairly well. Much faster than HDD unless you’re doing large file transfers. Obviously this greatly limits their lifespan, flash drives can’t handle so many writes.
I just replaced a SanDisk MicroSD card in my phone for Samsung one, and I regret it. Moving many small files is noticeably slower.

On the other hand there’s Philips. Sequential I/O gave me better results than the SanDisk drive, but that thing isn’t even useful as installation disk. That thing is just awfully slow. How they managed to make a flash drive slower than DVD, I don’t understand. But hopefully it’s just faulty unit that I have.

user224 , to asklemmy in Anyone else feel that Lemmy just *isn't* addictive?

Eeeh, nope. It’s 6:25AM and I already spent 2 hours on Lemmy.

user224 , to linux in Windows 11 vs Linux supported HW

Well, same if you had Linux pre-installed.

user224 , to linux in Windows 11 vs Linux supported HW

I had same problem multiple times when I tried Windows. The recommendations I could find on internet were to disable fast startup and boot into live Linux disc.

user224 , to linux in Windows 11 vs Linux supported HW

Don’t you have to do that anyway if you install Windows yourself?

A glorious picture that’s been compressed down to 1.9kB to fit into QR code.

Yep, that’s what it is. JPG in base64.

You should be able to open it directly in your browser if you put data:image/jpeg;base64, in front of it.
Alternatively you can use echo ‘the output you posted’ | base64 -d > image.jpg
Alternatively, you can paste it to this website: base64-to-image.com

Also thanks for the app recommendation. Works awesomely and is also open-source.

I was originally thinking about blinking Firefox banner in the 88x31 style, but, you know…

:-/

I put the original QR code in description. It scans in Google Lens when I put it there as image, although it takes it a few seconds.

user224 OP , to lemmyshitpost in Fun fact: With the help of a printer, you can put a picture on paper

This was printed on HP printer. But a 20 year old one. Only gives me warning about low ink but still let’s me print.

It also doesn’t work with Windows past Windows 7, but I don’t use Windows anyway.

There’s 40 different sizes (versions) of QR codes: www.qrcode.com/en/about/version.html

user224 OP , to lemmyshitpost in Fun fact: With the help of a printer, you can put a picture on paper

Try it again and you’ll get a different number. Your scanner probably thinks there’s EAN code in it.

user224 OP , (edited ) to lemmyshitpost in Fun fact: With the help of a printer, you can put a picture on paper

Unfortunately, the only thing that scans it is the Scandit Demo app. I also tried zbarimg and this app that generated it.

At least that’s the case when scanning from camera. The original QR code image I put in description scans.

user224 , to lemmyshitpost in Room temperature IQ

Better yet, Degrees Rankine.

Room temperatures in different units:
Degrees Reamur - 16.8
Degrees Celsius - 21
Degrees Fahrenheit - 69.8
Kelvin - 294.15
Degrees Rankine - 529.47

I have room temperature IQ in degrees Reamur, btw.
