I have a HDD 4tb Toshiba drive I had in a Raid 1 NAS device (NSA320) that failed in the raid and I replaced it and rebuilt the raid and life was good....
I once had a hard drive of some particular vintage that wasn't able to start. I did actually get it running with a hammer tap. Got the remains of data out and replaced the drive. It was nothing special, a Unix system drive with nothing that wasn't on tape, but I just had to see if I could fix a hard drive with a hammer.
I also remember one admin who would often be seen walking between computer maintenance room and workshop wing with drives and a blacksmiths hammer labelled "format".
I think I've seen robot vacuums that have done just that kind of quiet quit. Non robot ones, too, when I think of it.
Some robots could steal food from the refrigerator; some could spray strong perfumes; some could chat up the management then go fuck up a staff person’s work to make them look bad.

Got to agree with the conclusion of the review, while this seems like a decent offering (and I personally like the "retro" look), for Є400, you might as well get a A55 with a much better screen and probably longer security support (Android OS updates aren't that important these days).
Cats also have insanely sensitive and wide frequency hearing. It might notice some sort of coil or switcher whine or other noise that wasn't there before.
This isn't about immediately filtered content, like the disgusting DuffMan George Floyd meme, or Holocaust denial. That's pretty well kept in check by mod tools. I'm also not talking about cogent or even pointed political discussion....
But if a post gets tons of downvotes, it's not necessarily or even often because people don't like the opinion. It's usually because it was pure opinion stated as a fact or in hostile language or in unreadable writing or the user was otherwise behaving like an asshole.
Whether you, like me, beleive that QAZWSX keyboards make far more sense, especially in a machine learning world, I think we all agree a layout designed to circumvent jamming typewriter keys doesn't make sense in modern society on modern devices.
True. But the rule of thumb is that in order to replace an existing working solution, a new model needs to be at least ten times better in quantifiable ways. Otherwise it's worth staying with the established solution.

Well I've saved my pennies and I now finally have enough to get an Ebike. after HOURS of watching youtube videos, reviews, etc. I think I've narrowed my choice to these two options....
I have dealt with carrying loads like that. I know it would be doable for me, but it would be very demoralising. Especially if there's other baggage and I might be tired or hurting some days.
I wouldn't underestimate the effect that the experience might have in how much use you get out of a thing. Cycling should be convenient and fun and quick.
Actually: makes them non repairable, hard or impossible to recycle, and inscrutable so you can put anything inside like a counter that kills the battery once it's past the warranty and a reasonable life but still likely to buy a replacement instead of changing brands.
My wild guess is that there were balconies or otherwise very tall windows there before, but they were replaced with the smaller ones and the roof part was removed.
At least I've seen buildings with similar changes, but those usually come with a new straight roof while these have those bumps.
I watched a lot of movies when there was a cheap rental place nearby. I remember finally watching the hills have eyes and thought that was exceptionally bad. Just bad as in not good in any way or form. So of course I watched the second one and it was worse. And I had to watch the remake, because maybe they decided to make a better one. No, even worse.
There might be one worse film I've seen in my life which I just picked up for the cover from the same place. Not sure what it was but essentially nothing happened in it. Looked it up on IMDb and it was about two stars. Wasn't surprised.
Haven't thought of a disturbing one yet. It's an interesting question.
