I already did, right after the feature dropped.

Jerboa developers, may I kindly ask for an option to disable automatic video preview?

Don't get me wrong, it's a nice feature and all, but fuck it eats at my limited cellular data usage and eats my battery...

Edit: That was meant to be a top level comment, my bad. Leaving it though.

You spelled Microsoft® wrong. 😂

You didn't even declare the hardware specs..

Regardless, Mint...

Give them enough rope, and they'll try to patent opening a menu or pausing the game..

Don't worry about magnetic screwdrivers, the drives themselves have way stronger magnets for the head arm actuators.

Glad you found the failing drive though 👍

Interesting approach, makes sense.

Coming from automotive repair and using a section of hose to narrow down sounds.

I’m thinking of building a comparison tool based on AI... you find this useful? in c/technology@lemmy.world

Include a repairability index and a consumer rights index.

Louis Rossmann already has something like that on his wiki, he'd probably be glad to collaborate with you..

Looking past the obvious WTF, dude ain't curious about his deceased brother(s)? 🤔

Assistance requested regarding Linux Mint MATE 22.1 fine grained power management.. (lemmy.world)

I've been testing this OS for a bit, but I'm having trouble where drives are shutting down prematurely, as if the power management is too aggressive when it comes to external USB drives.

My USB hard drive will shut down on whatever timer Linux is using, despite my VirtualBox machine actively using it via Shared Folders. I have to use the Linux host and Caja to wake the drive back up. Like what the hell?

My USB DVD drive will spin up stupid fast to buffer a lot of DVD video, then Linux spins the drive down and turns it off. Then the next time it needs data, the drive has to spin up stupid high speed again, causing the video to freeze frequently while the drive spins back up, way too fast no less for the task. Why not a simple consistent speed and keep the drive running while watching a movie? VLC if that matters, on the host Linux.

Is this a power management configuration issue? Are these somehow the same issue, or are they two separate issues?

What should I do to resolve/reconfigure?

Massive data backup question: What Linux software do you folks recommend for helping sort out and organize terabytes of files and remove duplicates? (lemmy.world)

I've got a whole bucket full of old hard drives, CDs and DVDs, and I'm starting the process of backing up as much as still works to a 4TB drive.

It's gonna be a long journey and lots of files, many prone to being duplicates from some of the drives.

What sorts of software do you Linux users recommend?

I'm on Linux Mint MATE, if that matters much.

Edit: One of the programs I'm accustomed to from my Windows days is FolderMatch, which is a step above simple duplicate file scanning, it scans for duplicate or semi-duplicate folders as well and breaks down individual file differences when comparing two folders.

I see I've already gotten some responses, and I thank everyone in advance. I'm on a road trip right now, I'll be checking you folks recommend software later this evening or as soon as I can anyways.

Also, apparently baby oil is made with synthetic babies. I'm so disappointed, how do people live with all these lies? ☹️
