Are SMART attributes independently readable on that? (Or any multi-drive USB-C enclosures?)

It does not appear that SMART is supported on either version of my TerraMaster enclosures.

Still an inexpensive solution to help ease your transition away from MacPro"5,1"land.

As USB-C is a physical form factor (capable of supporting multiple protocols), I would think that the ability to have multidrive external SMART support would be up to the vendor's choice of datachip/datastream. Again: my Acasis does support SMART for nVMEs.


>or any USB-C enclosure

SMART is supported on my external Acasis nVME.

I have two TerraMaster sledbads; this one [typing] is years older [only 5gbps, macOS Ventura] and shows `SMART: not supported` [1]

[1] It's mirrored WD_blacks (RAID1) so I have at least some redundancy... I know: a RAID does NOT count as "backed-up".

Within an hour I'll have checked the newer system (I suspect it'll be similar — definitely faster!).

I've got a Roku on a TV in a spare room because it's the cheapest way to add airplay to a tv - I have it plugged in to a "smart" power bar that only provides power to the roku when the TV is turned on, so at least for the 99% of the time that the TV isn't turned on the roku isn't spamming my network.

I've got a Sony TV with Google TV (not connected to internet) that turns on pretty quickly.

If it's going from a cold boot e.g. where it was unplugged or if it's doing a full reboot it takes a bit longer and shows a splash screen, but if it's turning on from a regular "off" state it takes about the same amount of time as the rest of my dumb screens and goes directly to the last used input.


A bit like the awful workflow around developer agreements in App Store Connect. Every few months our CI breaks because Apple has updated one agreement or another and someone has to go pester the executive who's marked as the account owner and has legal authority to sign new agreements to unbreak our CI.

It's also impossible to delegate this authority to anyone other than the account owner, and there's no concept of shared or service accounts, so nobody other than the account owner, with access to their 2FA method is able to do this.

Heaven forbid if the account owner was ever to put their 2FA method as a personal device / phone and then leave the company.


All of these, too. Then for some goddamn reason i no longer can just input the username and password: for one of the developer accounts it has decided that i also have to decide wether i want to authenticate with an apple device, or by password. So it's another couple of clicks i can't get rid of

Years ago when the ARM China CEO held the company hostage with the company seal, there was much reporting that exoticized seals. But I was just thinking, the modern systems we've built with 2FA aren't much different!

(Product idea: seal that also prints time and TOTP?)


Awful. I would gladly pay for either of Apple or Google Maps without ads.

You'll probably see better performance with a non-wireguard VPN with the RP5 since it has hardware accelerated AES instructions.

I just don't pay for sites that don't offer full-text RSS (or email newsletters, for some sites) for subscribers.

I don't think the complaint is that RSS doesn't get around paywalls, it's that even if you pay, many publications don't offer full-text RSS.

Because AI bots will scrape the full text RSS.

How is a web page with the full text more resistant to that than an RSS feed with the full text?

Some RSS feeds have the full text and are transitioning users to the full content on the web page.

RSS scraping is just 100x easier and some publications have taken notice.

I've seen some publications are transitioning to extreme hard paywalls and are even harder to scrape.


uBlock Origin Lite is probably the best option, but in my experience mobile adblocking goes Firefox (with uBlock Origin) > Safari (with 1Blocker) > Chrome (with uBlock Origin Lite).

edit: Erp, actually, it seems mobile Chrome doesn't have extension support. I only actually use Chrome on a Chromebook, I assumed Android was comparable.


StopTheMadness will do this pretty well for $15.
