Obligatory “read the article” etc. These unofficial patches get flak because some of them include “features” that are the modders preference. The point of unofficial patches is to fix bugs/glitches while remaining essentially vanilla or at least that’s why people want them. Worth noting that mod devs have been grilled for it before.
“How’s your pilot… to shred you say?”
There is a language filter available
Holy shit you’re awesome. I must have missed this due to never using the site. Thanks!
Why oh why is no one concerned about the use of “and” here?
Luckily I quoted you, which shows that you have defined “repair” so narrowly as to exclude taking actions to restore a product to put back into service.
Yes, that would be a compelling point did I not, twice, tell you your interpretation of my quote is incorrect and go on to clarify it as an example. I think this makes your intentions clear enough that it isn’t worth continuing wasting time on. All I’ll say is I’m glad you have nothing to do with making the specifications for this sort of hardware and that it’s left to competent and educated engineers. Assault on repair, good lord lol.
Me providing an example of a repair is not me claiming it is the only method of repair.
If someone can make a degraded product useful again, it’s neither your place nor the manufacturers place to tell advanced users/repairers not to – to dictate what is appropriate.
Except, again, you aren’t making it useful again, you’re attempting to bypass a fail safe put in place by engineers. You aren’t repairing anything to make useful again, you aren’t fixing any part of the SSD. You’re merely attempting to bypass a “lockout”. You aren’t arguing to repair the drive; you’re arguing to keep using after this point (which is fine, even if I disagree with it).
That’s because you’re not making the distinction between reading and writing, and understanding that it’s writing that fails. The fitness to write to a NAND declines gradually with each cycle. Every transistor is different. A transistor might last 11,943 cycle…
The first paragraph quoted (and the article as whole) cover reads, different between different drives (including different specs for enterprise vs consumer) and how the values are drawn. 10k is for intel 50nm MLC NAND specifically. Other values are presented in the article. It isn’t arbitrary as you’ve attempted to hand wave it as. I suggest you read it in its entirety. It doesn’t matter how sophisticated the software standard is, the oxide on the drive will eventually wear down and is a physical problem.
I am being artificially blocked from returning the product into useful service
Except it isn’t useful service. I would have a hard time buying that a a pre-fail drive, even second hand, is useful for service. I get what you’re going for/saying but again it doesn’t pass for right to repair imo. It’s risking data loss to wring an extra 12 months (or likely, less) from a dying drive. For every 1 person like you that its an annoyance for it saves multitudes more that are less savvy pointlessly risking data loss.
“Repair” does not necessarily mean returning to a factory state.
I didn’t claim as such and replacing a faulty or damaged module wouldn’t return it to factory condition. I wouldn’t consider “hacking” a drive to continue using it when you shouldn’t a repair. As far as I’m aware it’s to comply with JEDEC standards.
There’s now ambiguity between bits which, if this cell were allowed to remain active in an SSD, would mean that when you go to read a file on your drive there’s a chance that you won’t actually get the data you’re requesting. A good SSD should mark these bits bad at this point.
There’s a JEDEC spec that defines what should happen to the NAND once its cells get to this point. For consumer applications, the NAND should remain in a read-only state that can guarantee data availability for 12 months at 30C with the drive powered off.
I just don’t see how using a drive into the period where it’s likely to fail and lose data, against specification, is a good idea. Let alone a right to repair issue.

Fuck haggling. I set a lower price because I want something in good condition gone and would rather it be used than go to landfill. Set a price and that’s it. People want to haggle on marketplaces because they either have nothing better to do or resell. Don’t be a party to it imo. Makes it much easier because you ignore tyre kickers who obviously don’t read as well.
I don’t think this is right to repair tbh. You can’t repair the SSD in this state? You’re not going to go in and repair any of the NAND modules. What you refer to as “nannying” is to stop what an overwhelming majority of end users would do. Which click “ignore” after not reading the message informing them the SSD is pre-failure and then losing all their data when the drive fails. A good majority of users aren’t anywhere near as tech savvy enough to understand what’s going on. The drive effectively being unusable prompts them to replace it while they still have the ability to remove data off of it.
Yeah was the same, really enjoyed NV, played it to completion a bunch of times with mods. Never finished 4, story sucked, guns were boring and hated the voiced protag choice. Probably got half way through twice. Each time just got bored of it and stopped. The last time I played NV I still look forward to getting to parts of the game despite having already seen them multiple times (Graham, Ulysses, big MT).
I don’t know, all the characters just sucked in 4 or were unremarkable. Valentine might be the only exception I can recall. The main bad guys are largely absent until you find out the kid you’ve been searching for is running them. Also your genius kid dumps out super mutants and skin walking robots and can’t work out why the entire wasteland hates the institute. So much meh.
572.xx absolutely killed reforger for a good amount of people in our discord. Ending up briefly killing attendance too which was annoying.
It’s a preposterous claim with absolutely no evidence supporting it. Any idiot can see it doesn’t withstand a moment’s thought.
claim with absolutely no evidence supporting it
I work in tech
Multiple sources including a fucking Microsoft researcher
Bayesian filtering is a legacy strategy and Microsoft, for example, does not use it any more (because it’s inferior) except for legacy on-prem setups. Given you’ve attempted to be insulting, put words in my mouth and failed to provide supporting articles for your opinion I’m out. As I get enough of these sort of conversations at work and unless I start billing you… Lol’d at “Mr exchange server admin” though ngl.
Never claimed that, said that because that’s why I’m aware of it, not that it indicates any authority.
Did you honestly just google “scammer typos” so you could provide me with an expert source?
Not quite but pretty much yep. Given you claimed it was “nonsensical” I had hope me showing sources that weren’t just my saying so might make you reconsider your position. Perhaps unsurprisingly, it didn’t.
It’s a preposterous claim with absolutely no evidence supporting it. Any idiot can see it doesn’t withstand a moment’s thought.
You’re free to google “scammer typos” and check out the results yourself given there seems to be nothing I can do or link to convince you that this is a silly hill to die on.
is that including typos in order to evade filters improves response rates because it improves deliverability and does not discourage a significant number of victims.
What filters are these? I’ll have to keep an eye out for the grammar section in the inbound spam/phishing policies next time I’m managing a client in the exchange section of their tenant. Bad luck for those who don’t spell well, can’t use spell check or are ESL, I guess. Mistyped URLs or domains however, sure are a thing.
Er go, the type of people who become victims are not likely to be discouraged by typos.
*Ergo. I guess you’ve made up your mind, based on god knows what. I’ll leave you with a link from a university’s IT department from your google search terms, feel free to look at the rest of them any time you like.
It’s on purpose. If you can spot it, they don’t want you.
But what would the opinions based on another “Mr security guy”, aka a Microsoft researcher know.
I’m not arguing about this. Especially not with a baby account. This is an opinion informed by expert opinion on the matter, and I work in tech. If you think it’s “nonsensical” that’s on you.
However, the reason why phishing emails have so many typos is simple—they’re intentional and are included by design. The scammer’s goal is to send phishing emails to a very gullible, innocent victim. If they have typos, they’re essentially weeding out recipients too smart to fall for the scam.
Because you’re selecting with people who lack experience with scam/critical thinking to figure out they’re scams.
That easier done with more involved scams like phone calls you see YouTubers do. Especially since they likely paid for that info. Places like here there’s no buy in so it’s a volume game i imagine. If I can’t get you to another platform to buy me stuff I’d move on to the next one quickly as possible.
The same reason a lot scam emails are riddled with typos, follow recognisable formats (eg nigerian prince) and can be easily determined as scams. If you can spot it, you aren’t the mark. It’s a form of selection bias. If you recognise Nicole you probably aren’t new to Lemmy or the Fediverse and are a bad mark. I’d guess, I never followed the links, don’t generally follow links dm’d from random, days old accounts in general. Maybe Nicole truly is just thirsty for Lemmy friends and keeps getting banned lmao.
Right? Like it didn’t even take the whole Orange galah thing to bring it about. You make your workers piss in bottles to meet KPIs then I have 0 interest in buying your shit.
FYI in the future take a screenshot. There’s a couple ways to do it; either with the print screen button or ctrl+win+s.
Is he doing this with his entra account? Are there any local accounts? Could he just be providing a local admins credentials any time he needs the permission (UAC pop up) but still logged into the Entra ID account? Either way, jump onto (or backstage into) his device and use lusrmgr.msc to check if he’s in the admin group if your sure he’s not an admin in entra. If he is in the admins group (or there’s a dummy account in there he may be using) remove it with the relevant net localgroup command.
