• Ask HN: Do you still use DVD?

  I still put DVD and/or Blu-ray drives in all PCs I personally build for myself and my family. This is due to the fact that we transferred dozens of old captured 16 mm and 8 mm film reels, scanned photo prints, negatives and slides as well as Video8, Hi8, Digital8 and VHS videocassettes to M-DISC DVD and some to Blu-ray. While I uploaded most of this content to Flickr and Google Photos while they were offering... - Source: Hacker News / 20 days ago

• My computer reset my user profile name and password. Now I can’t login. What do I do?

  This is what I normally do when needing to change a user account password at work.

Should be able to select the user account on windows and change the password to what you would like. Source: over 1 year ago

• My SSD suddenly died. I only lost 10 minutes of data, thanks to ZFS

  Minimum write size of a modern Flash chip can be ~100MB(!) according to a comment found in a random orange website[1]. So 5MB write every 10 minutes can be 600MB/hr, which is 4.8TB/8-hr-day, which is 24TB/40-hour-week, which is 3.43 DWPD real time for a 1TB drive, and 2500 TBW in 2 years real time[2]. Official quoted specification for SN850 is 600 TBW of write endurance, likely after derating for obvious warranty... - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago
