I wonder how the loading screens will be, that was the main thing that kept me from Starfield.

Did UE5 help beyond “pretty”?

I hadn’t considered that, it makes all the sense of course, as a NAS, even when torrenting with cache enabled, will give an SSD less wear and tear than an HDD.

It comes down to price vs everything else

TIL about TLC vs QLC, thanks

I guess my next Nas will be SSD then

Are they really more reliable than NAS “grade” HDD - and a ssd cache? I always saw SSD with a max write on them, and a NAS does plenty of I/O.

Admittedly I’ve never had an SSD go bad in my computers, but for some reason I never considered them as a good enough alternative for a NAS.

Are there any data you know of the top of your head before I go searching?

Are people really doing NAS with SSD? Not just for cache?

I, myself am prepared to do it in winter in an apartment.

My discussion is not on the how, but on how you fail to perceive that not everyone is yourself. Some people are more able, others less, some have a studio apartment, others a farm. Some live paycheck to paycheck others don’t. Some have 6 people in their household others do not :)

One size does not fit all. What is easy for you, might not be for others and vice-versa.

My roof? It’s hard to burn wood when you don’t have a fireplace. In summer of course we do it outside. But with the density of a city center that means that it’s hard to store enough wood/coal to make meaningful impact on the amount of water you need to boil to cook.

In winter it would be simply counter productive to go outside and be cold to boil rice.

It’s simply easier - and safer - to have water for drinking and food for eating.

Population centers have different needs.

Well, not everyone can burn wood, or has a storage place capable of having the 2L of water per person, different people live in different places.

The 3 days is so the state can come in and help, if you live in a big city center, the requirements are not the same as if you live in a farm.

That’s good, then can you read your original comment and see that other people are in other places with other situations? 😌

I have tablets for purifying and rainwater, but that needs rain, and in winter it means fuel.

Food for these days should not be dependent on water.

If your food needs water to be eaten then you need to store that extra water, which is by far the largest part you need to keep.

Because, being an American company they are bound by US rules. Meaning in an embargo, it’s lights out.

And that’s also very fair, i tend to agree with you where parenting is more educating than helicoptering.

However cities are different, countries are different, norms even, and what might work in Paris, might not work in Dallas, or in Helsinki.

Also some kids might enjoy having the ability to talk to their parents and don’t see it as an infringement on their freedom, because it’s also how you act on the information you’re given. Others might not. You might even change your opinion if your circumstances change too.

I’d say, had you said - for my particular situation - I wouldn’t have batted an eye.

All that said, kids making mistakes and being kept far from monitoring and social media is a good thing 🤓

And thank you for being cool about this 🤩

I’ll reply to you once, because i feel it needs to be said.

Other people, have other lives, in other places, with different kids. That gives them a different situation to yours. The fact that you and yours can/can’t do a thing doesn’t mean others can/cant.

Thank you
