Haven’t got my $1,000 yet.
Being recommended such a small hard drive should be considered a crime worth $1000.
Fr, absolutely pointless getting a 1TB slow spinny drive when you can get 1TB as a nice NVMe SSD for not too terribly more lmao
Cries in 500 gb
My guy, you could upgrade your rig with a USB stick.
The micro SD on my phone is 512gb.
Ya I know I need to upgrade the hdd at the least, but no money for it. I’ve been taking care of two families of stray cats and getting them fixed so that’s higher on the agenda. Maybe this fall or next spring it’ll happen.
‘high storage capacity’
Man recommending an HDD at all under 4tb is like a crime. They’re obsolete beyond very high capacity data storage
Let AI take monetary decisions for companies
AI accountants would be pretty cool to have for small businesses tho. Like, if I wanna open up a company, it would be cool if I had a thing that could take care of taxes and all that kinda shit, not big decisions or budget allocations, but take care of all the paperwork
Would be neat but right now they are really hit or miss with math.
Somehow telling them to pretend they are in Star Trek helps that…
recommending a mechanical hard drive in 2024 is crazy
I mean if you need 14TBs or something you don’t really have an alternative unless you’re rich, but yea what a terrible AI recommending <2TB spinny drives lmao
yea mass storage is a bit different. might even prefer some spinny bois for their longevity
These days ssds might actually have hdds beat on longevity. Still, affordable mass storage and ssds aren’t close to hdd levels yet.
I didn’t speak clear. what I meant is longevity in cold storage, unplugged. or do ssds beat then even there?
Heat and pack of power will absolutely kill a SSD eventually, you’re entirely right.
Totally depends on the use case. For data hoarding on a NAS, it’s absolutely fine and the sane choice in regards to pricing.
yea for mass storage they still make sense
If you’re doing mass storage, you probably want something a bit bigger then 1TiB, though.
maybe just a tad
I wonder if enough people doing this would poison the AI into offering this now and then with no prompt?
Not unless they were training the language models on customer interactions. I could see them doing this, but I would also expect the dataset to be curated.
Now how it works at all. Once it’s deployed, the AI stops learning and only repeats what it already knows.
I hope you get it.
Why is everyone talking about 1TB being tiny? I have one 1TB SSD and it’s the biggest storage medium in the entire house what kinda stuff do y’all save?
Shitty games that are now 200gb each
Storage capacity, especially in SSDs, has been increasing really fast and decreasing in price at almost the same rate. 1TB was a lot of space in 2010 and could set you back a few hundred at least for an HDD. In 2024, you can get a 2TB SSD that’s like 10x as fast as an HDD for under $100.
1TB is good for an SSD. But the main reason anyone gets a HDD is to get storage sizes that they can’t really afford in SSDs currently.
Well, they suggested a relatively small capacity in a mechanical drive
My main rig has 11TB, my media server two RAID1 arrays at 16TB and 18TB
It’s easy to get out of hand with media, games, lots of VMs, dedicated boot drives, etc
Oh gawd, maybe 6TB in SSDs and 25TB in HDDs!
I need more space.
my steam deck has 2tb in it and my computer has 2tb ssds one for linux one for windows I wouldn’t say 1tb is tiny but eh 2tb isn’t too expensive at this point so I wouldn’t buy anything below 2tb anymore personally
Lol… good luck with that, they don’t even honor their mistakes. I once found a typoed price (brand new laptop dirt cheap). No more “false advertising” claims these days, your order is just canceled without any stated reason, and without recourse.
The law has the concept of consideration and there is a level of judgment used on these kinds of things. Intent is part of the law too. Which means if someone falsely puts a cheap price for a product to get you into a store (or something like that) they’ll likely be on the hook for that, it’s false advertising. But if someone simply made a typo and the price on offer doesn’t line up to reasonable consideration, then it’s not binding. There was no intent to deceive, and the price isn’t reasonable consideration for the product.
So while there may be times you may be able to benefit from someone making a mistake, there will be many times you won’t. That’s not a bad thing since the same law protects you if you make a mistake. If someone puts into the fine print of a contact that you should give them all of your possessions, and you didn’t notice it, the law would also throw that out because they didn’t offer reasonable consideration for your possessions.
So you don’t have recourse (nor should you) in the scenario where someone made an honest mistake like with a typo. Sucks that for a moment you thought you were getting a laptop for a ridiculously cheap price, but think about what it would mean on the other end. You’d be getting a laptop without paying a reasonable price for it, the company would have to eat the cost, and some poor bastard would probably be fired for making a typo. Is a cheap laptop really worth someone else losing their job?
My boot SSD with windows is 120gb back from when the SSDs passed bellow 1€ per gig, one day I’ll switch the windows install to my new 2TB SSD I promise!
In Canada, it might work. There was a court case where an airline had to honour its chatbot.
That one wasn’t the customer feeding it exactly what to say, though, it was the customer asking how to get a discounted price honored, what steps they would need to take, and they followed the chat bot’s instruction… A customer using a company’s bot in good faith to understand how a process works (one of the things it was supposedly meant for) is not the same as one blatantly abusing the bot’s design to get money for nothing.
I just wanted to use the bot in good faith (me having more money is good) to understand how a process works (the process of me receiving money) :3
