| 03:33.03 | brolin_empey | Did I find a bug in Vivaldi? Vivaldi on Windows 10 with a 3840Ã2160 viewport will not change the zoom from the default/initial for this image. IE11 functions as expected. I did not try with any other Web browser, such as Firefox, because I usually use only Vivaldi. |
| 04:25.36 | brolin_empey | Actually, it looks like Vivaldi on my home computer is in its partial failure mode again after running continuously for at least a week because I just loaded https://www.digikey.ca/ but apparently none of the inline images have loaded even though they should automatically load. This happens with Vivaldi on my office computer too. I started adding it to my calendar when it happens because I am curious to know how often it happens. The reliable workaround |
| 04:25.36 | brolin_empey | for the unreliable software is to exit and restart Vivaldi. |
| 04:39.58 | *** join/#maemo DocScrutinizer05 (~saturn@openmoko/engineers/joerg) |
| 04:40.30 | brolin_empey | Yes, the inability to change the zoom for the image was because Vivaldi had been running continuously for sufficiently long that it had entered its partial failure mode again and had to be manually restarted. |

| 06:37.39 | brolin_empey | Is there a place that sells USB SSDs that has a filter so I can eliminate all of the models that lack a power/activity indicator light? I am curious to know what the smallest (as in volume, not storage capacity) model is that has a light. |
| 06:39.20 | brolin_empey | Or is there a brand of USB SSD that still has a light on every model? |
| 06:40.38 | Maxdamantus | When you say "USB SSD", you mean like a flash drive, right? Not just a regular SSD in an enclosure. |
| 06:41.08 | Maxdamantus | The pricespy system for NZ seems to have that capability. |
| 06:41.43 | Maxdamantus | I think you're in Australia, but I imagine there's probably a similar site. |
| 06:43.27 | brolin_empey | Maxdamantus: I intentionally generalise âUSB flash driveâ to âUSB SSDâ because the type of non-volatile memory used does not seem relevant and may not always be flash memory. |
| 06:44.50 | *** join/#maemo Pali (~pali@Maemo/community/contributor/Pali) |
| 06:45.00 | brolin_empey | I do not know why you would think I live in Australia? I live in Metro Vancouver, Canada. |
| 06:45.10 | Maxdamantus | Ah right. |
| 06:46.45 | Maxdamantus | Apparently this doesn't actually have volume (only weight), but it's probably somewhat informative anyway: https://pricespy.co.nz/category.php?k=168&compare=95336%2C1199%2C210%2C3666%2C81&sort=property%3A81&direction=asc |
| 06:47.56 | Maxdamantus | The features column should include "LED (Diode)" if it has a light. Doesn't seem to let you exclude the feature though so you just have to mentally ignore them. |
| 06:49.04 | brolin_empey | Eh, I only want models that have a light, which is why I said I want to eliminate all of the models that lack a light. |
| 06:49.19 | Maxdamantus | Oh. |
| 06:49.39 | Maxdamantus | https://pricespy.co.nz/category.php?k=s333260207&compare=95336%2C1199%2C210%2C3666%2C81&sort=property%3A81&direction=asc&catId=168 |
| 06:51.28 | Maxdamantus | also regarding the "USB SSD" thing, I don't think the logic behind your use of terminology really makes sense. |
| 06:52.06 | Maxdamantus | "SSD" already kind of means something else. Not all devices with solid state storage are considered to be "SSDs". |
| 06:55.48 | brolin_empey | I do not think it makes sense to call it a âflash driveâ when it could use a different non-volatile memory technology than flash memory. It would be like saying âLCDâ instead of âflat-panel displayâ: many devices, including some x86 notebook computers, not only mobile ARM computers, now use an LED display instead of an LCD. |
| 06:57.13 | Maxdamantus | If you want to be precise, you could always just say "USB solid state storage device". "SSD" basically just refers to things that talk the same protocols as typical hard disk drives. |
| 06:58.09 | Maxdamantus | but might as well just say "USB storage device" since you're practically not going to find anything that's not solid state (at least, not if you're looking for something small) |
| 06:59.11 | Maxdamantus | or at least replace the functionality of HDDs |
| 07:03.27 | brolin_empey | âStorageâ does not imply ânon-volatile memoryâ. If I want to be precise and also very verbose then I would call it a non-volatile memory device with a USB Mass Storage device class host interface. I believe that âNVMe SSDâ is a common term even though HDDs do not use NVMe. GNU+Linux and probably other OSses do not treat USB drives differently than ATA drives like Windows does so a USB SSD can replace an ATA HDD in some cases. |
| 07:04.27 | brolin_empey | I mean a solid-state non-volatile memory device. |
| 07:07.06 | brolin_empey | I do not want to say âsolid-state non-volatile memory device with a USB Mass Storage device class host interfaceâ if I can say âUSB SSDâ. |
| 07:13.13 | luke-jr | storage kinda does imply non-volatility |
| 07:13.34 | KotCzarny | you need to define non-volatility period too |
| 07:13.58 | KotCzarny | as so far there is no infinite non-volatility for human made storages |
| 07:14.41 | brolin_empey | I do not see why the use of a USB host interface instead of an ATA host interface means the device should not be called a solid-state drive. Unnecessarily specifying which of multiple possible types of technology is used, such as by saying âflash driveâ instead of âsolid-state driveâ is just asking for the term or name to become historical, like saying âCDâ instead of âoptical discâ as another common example because DVD media have replaced |
| 07:14.41 | brolin_empey | CD media for many applications. |
| 07:15.43 | Maxdamantus | Because if we used the terminology in that way, my N900 would have multiple SSDs in it. |
| 07:16.09 | KotCzarny | emmc is ssd |
| 07:16.20 | KotCzarny | fast enough to define it as such |
| 07:16.23 | KotCzarny | ;) |
| 07:16.45 | KotCzarny | and recent sdcards are crazy fast too |
| 07:18.11 | Maxdamantus | It can't be based on speed. |
| 07:20.12 | KotCzarny | according to wiki ssd was conceived in 1978 |
| 07:20.31 | KotCzarny | but only got implemented around 1991 as a 2.5" drive |
| 07:21.10 | brolin_empey | luke-jr: No, it does not. In the hierarchy of computer storage, primary storage is the main memory, which is usually RAM, which is volatile memory, and secondary storage is non-volatile memory, such as rotating magnetic media and flash memory. |
| 07:21.17 | KotCzarny | SSDs based on NAND Flash will slowly leak charge over time if left for long periods without power. This causes worn-out drives (that have exceeded their endurance rating) to start losing data typically after one year |
| 07:21.31 | KotCzarny | so there goes 'storage' part |
| 07:32.06 | brolin_empey | HDDs seem to suck for my use case because I leave my computers always running and need the non-volatile memory of the computer to always be accessible but HDDs fail if they are always running because they have moving parts that wear out even if the magnetic discs have theoretically unlimited write endurance. |
| 07:37.09 | brolin_empey | Also, the term âRAM driveâ was common long before SSDs began replacing HDDs in desktop computers. |
| 07:41.14 | brolin_empey | KotCzarny: âwikiâ is a common noun, not a proper noun. Wikipedia is one of many wikis. Actually, Wikipedia is a collection of wikis in multiple natural/human languages. In this case I guess you mean the English- or Polish-language Wikipedia but maybe you can read more natural languages than English and Polish. |
