I could have gotten a marginally better price per tb with bigger drives, but I didn't need that much storage. The drive you linked is $419 at my local Microcenter.

Electronics in Canada are also about 25% more expensive, the 30tb is 810

That makes the discs you bought on the high end too though.

When was that released? This 30TB version is hot off the press. I'm not surprised that it costs 600$. The 20TB version you linked is 16.4$/TB on a promotion, the 30TB one is 20$/TB. Without the promotion the 20TB version would be 430$ making it 21$/TB.

Give it time (a year or less) and it'll be even cheaper.

Available, not affordable.

That's a pretty good price, too. If you look closely, it's discounted from MSRP. The MSRP is roughly in line with the price per tb.

This is CAD, but it’s double the price of 20tb

I just upgraded my pc and added a RAID array. A 4 tb drive is still like $80-150, so $600 for 30tb seems kinda reasonable. It's outside of my budget, but I'm a cheap bastard.

I... I don't $600 is an "anyone" buy.

What?

The southpaws will rise again!

They built something like this for an exhibition of Andy Warhol’s 1980s computer paintings some years ago. They wanted to show the art on Amiga 1000s like the one he used, but both the computers and their CRT monitors were too flaky to manage, so they put a Raspberry Pi running an emulator in an Amiga case. For the display, they took the case of an Amiga monitor and mounted a OLED panel behind an acrylic sheet.

I've read the article but i still don't understand what this would actually be useful for.

Sounds like a great project! Too bad the site has cancer and popups, otherwise i’d read it

Or you could use Tdarr or something similar to convert your media before adding them.

That's why I departed from supporting Logitech.

Catering for the REAL-lefties is the inclusion we really needed. Not the blue hair bullshit.

It looks like it has a very limited number of media formats that are supported. A small SBC like a Raspberry Pi Zero 2W or one of the low end Orange Pi boards would be much more useful since there wouldn't be any restrictions on what could be served.

Is this a modern piratebox?

If you cut the usb and ethernet off the board you can too have a SBC smaller than a raspberry pi.

I've used a few waveshare products and while they have pretty good build quality their hardware support is hacky af

Even if your boards are made in the US, aren't the machines they use made overseas anyway? Doesn't seem very scalable to me.

I wouldn't use it for any SD card that's going to be frequently removed, but it would work well if the card is being used for firmware and not accessible from the outside of the case. The capacitor definitely shouldn't be part of the circuit though.

I didn't have an issue if this is personal or professionally it is lead-free and non functional. I have seen plenty of knocked off components and don't want an intermittently-connecting capacitor in my build, even if it is supposedly just filtering noise. Also, while it is just a small amount, I don't want users interacting with lead, much less to have lead-coated components that can come detached.

So glad they got huge tax breaks for this phantom factory.
