  • That answers my question. If the USB dongle never disconnects from the machine, then I wouldn't expect anything to show in dmesg, as the 'sleep mode' is likely occurring downstream of the USB dongle.

    Are there any config utilities that came with it? Failing that, maybe wireshark the dongle and see if there is any sort of sleep/wake signal being passed back through to the host machine?

  • Many but not all will have a 'total TBW' metric, but that is more of a 'how many write cycles can this theoretically last' metric. What I am predominantly interested in is "how many TB can be written before sporadic write delays start occurring"

  • The best way to learn it, is to set yourself a goal/problem, define as best as possible how many unique issues that problem can be broken into, then start solving them one-by-one, periodically stopping to evaluate how they fit together.

    Learning the best languages and structures to use will come as result of this.

  • That may not be their intended purpose, but it is something we take note of when responding to an MVA. "Who else was in the vehicle" is a pretty standard question to ascertain if someone has been ejected, or is currently entrapped in the inaccessible wreckage, but if we notice a 'baby on board', we always make sure to also ask something along the lines of "where is your baby", just to be safe.

  • The thing that is always painfully missing from any benchmark, is an endurance test.

    I want to know how many TB I can write consecutively before the disk starts to degrade in performance and stop being useful. So far the only way I have been able to achieve this is to purchase a couple of every disk and stress them until failure, logging that interval, and selecting the winners for usage.

    I do not care about how fast it can write over the course of five minutes, I want to know how fast it can write over the course of five hours continuous usage.

  • To get a step deeper into your "how can a machine draw a circle" question. Mostly it can't. Even with an open-loop control system dragging the 'pen' at a fixed angle, you would need to have defined that curve in software somewhere, where it will be a barely-noticable set of X-Y steps, not a pure curve, otherwise you cannot be sure it would return to the origin.

    Luckily, you only need a few decimals of pi to approximate that far beyond what any human eye could discern.

    Break any digitally defined curve down far enough and you will see those discrete steps, but with modern technology, we just never notice it.

  • Given how terrible the amazon search functionality is, I don't see how this would work. There is an overwhelming number of products available there, so it is easy to find what you're after eventually, but in my experience, the only way to actually find a specific product is with an external search engine.

    My normal search pattern goes something like: pricespy/digikey/RS/mouser > if not available, or too expensive> aliexpress > if too much to sift through > google shopping > (this is where amazon links live)
