If you're looking for a big and decently fast SSD with no major flaws for under $200, you're in luck. (Tom's Hardware)

TeamGroup's MP34 is currently on sale at Amazon for $199. For the 4TB model.

It's not a new drive - this range first appeared in 2019 - and it's not PCIe 5 or even PCIe 4. It "only" delivers read speeds of 3.5GB per second.

But it's also not QLC - it's TLC, so generally faster and with a longer lifespan - and it's not DRAMless - it has a proper DRAM cache on board.

At launch the 1TB model cost $160 so prices have come down a lot in the past four years.

The Crucial P3 also offers 4TB for $199 right now, but that is QLC and DRAMless, so the only thing it has going for it is the reputation of the manufacturer: Crucial is the consumer brand of Micron, one of the biggest makers of flash and DRAM chips in the world.

As a secondary drive either one should be fine, but the MP34 should also deliver the goods as a primary drive if you don't need bleeding edge performance.

A year ago 4TB drives like these would have set you back at least $400 even on sale. These are now cheaper than SATA SSDs, and five or six times faster.

Tech News

Meanwhile in Flashland Kioxia (formerly Toshiba's flash memory division) and Western Digital have announced 218 layer 3.2GHz 1Tb TLC flash chips. (AnandTech)

That means that a cheaper 4 channel controller on a PCIe 5 SSD will be able to hit 12.8GBps - or for PCIe 3 you'd only need one channel to basically max up the bus.

This is particularly good for smaller drives. Apple customers buying recent 256GB laptops have noticed that the performance has been cut in half over the previous year's model. Of course Apple massively overcharges for storage and you can never, ever upgrade so you'd have to be an idiot to buy a 256GB Apple laptop anyway.

They have other nasty habits that make it questionable buying any of their products at all. More on that below.
Don't buy one of AMD's new budget A620 motherboards if you want to run an X or X3D CPU. (Tom's Hardware)

It should at least run, but it will run at 65W economy mode, turning (for example) a 7900X into a 7900, and a 7900X3D into, um, a 7900X3D running at 65W because there isn't a specific model like that.

This doesn't actually lose you much performance though. The 65W 7900 is only 6% slower than the 170W 7900X.

Which makes you wonder why they bothered to go to 170W in the first place.
AMD and JEDEC are working on DDR5-17600 memory for servers. (WCCFTech)

This uses a trick that basically puts two memory modules into one slot and interleaves the data from the two sets of chips, running at double the native rate.

In the six years since Epyc CPUs first appeared they've jumped from four memory channels to eight to twelve, and there's just no room in servers for them to get much bigger.

So the solution is to make the memory faster, only that takes too long.

So the solution to that solution is to basically RAID-0 the memory chips.
SpaceX is preparing for a full test launch of Starship, likely this month. (Ars Technica)

Despite it being Ars the comments are mostly sane. One comment praising Elon Musk got downvoted to oblivion, but so did one comment denigrating him.
And it's going to the Moon. Not this month, though. In a couple of years. (Space News)

Carrying a privately developed lunar rover.
The scammer who got Instagram "influencers" account's banned and then charged them to help get them reinstated may have been found. (ProPublica)

Of course this scam was only possible in the first place because Instagram is run by evil shitheads.

Instagram declined to comment. Evil, not stupid.

10 Evening and morning to all the folken! It was fun hanging out on the movie thread for a while last night. I don't often get the chance to do that.

I'm up about an hour early thanks to Stirling the Great Black Kitten. For some weird feline reason, half an hour ago he was climbing over me in bed, sitting against me, purring, bumping me with his head (and it is a big solid head). I tried not to let him wake me up, but no go. So, coffee, The Time Tunnel on MeTV, and AoSHQ.

Sure, I'll bet he wants breakfast, but he has dry food. And if I reward him like that for waking me up, he'll do it every morning.

13 Plans for the morning: work out (lightly, for the first time in about a week, now that my ribs are okay); light breakfast; out to the Walmart up the highway for a nice drive; then breakfast part two.

I really should change the litterbox out completely. In fact, the two feline thugs need a new box, one with a snap-on lip or edge so they can't kick the litter out of the box so easily.

When we all have a house, I'll have two boxes in different places. If it's a two-story house, I refuse to put one upstairs, though.

I suppose it was mid year 2020 when talk of a vaccine to prevent Covid was in the works. I went to DDG and most likely punched in something like 'vaccine corona-virus' and clicked on the first link presented. It appears from the long essay* I'm reading that efforts to control the flow of information about covid and vaccines had already begun. The search result was not from the USA where it should have originated, but from Australia. An organization dedicated to research in viruses, which noticed that in 20 years of attempts to create a vaccine for corona type viruses the results had all been worse then unsuccessful. At that point in time I swore off taking any vaccine. Thanks to Australia for (so far) staying out of the censorship game.

In the video that recently surfaced Fauci is attempting to coerce a young black man into getting the vaccine and Fauci talks about the 20 years of work on the vaccine. Failing to mention they had all been failures inducing 'enhanced disease' in test animals.

I found the information I needed but evil tech companies conspired with the government to hide the information so that people could not make an 'informed consent' type of decision.

Ny wife cooks them in a regular pot with a lid. But, she has me put them in to soak in water when I get up in the morning. So they soak about 4 hours before cooking.

Would that help rehydrate them a bit?

41 Bean seed coats are designed to be impenetrable to water. A slightly basic solution made with baking soda will pull some of the calcium out of the seed coat allowing water to enter and cook the bean. I am surprised CBD has never mentioned "On Food and Cooking" by H. McGee

I used salted water for two days once, the beans were crunchy even after ten hours in a rice cooker. This last time I used fresh water and the beans doubled in size over the two days, but they still were slightly firm after a six hour cook. I'm thinking it's probably the age of the beans. Maybe I'll actively boil the beans instead of slow cook next time.

60 I always soak dried beans in unsalted water, unless I'm using a pressure cooker, it which case it doesn't seem to matter. Salt seems to makes the pulp of the bean tough, I'm assuming because the dissolved ions interfere with all the proteins and starches so they "stick" to each other in a kind of cross-link. I suppose the soaking is analogous to letting a piece of red meat warm up to room temp before grilling it. If you don't, then by the time the center is cooked nicely, the outer edge is obliterated.

JmT, that is so much appreciated, the comment I mean (the bucks are mucho grande appreciated). My daughter first saw one kitten in that parking lot, back in October, so she went to take a look and found all 6 and Mama. She had just bought kitty food for our indoor kitties so she used some to feed this lot, and then did it every day, sun, rain or snow. I guess we were destined to adopt them. The Mama and one black kitten disappeared early on and it could all be good but being October I don't like to dwell on that.
On a happy note, I can't wait for the kittens.
Once again mille grazie (Italian heartfelt thanks).

118 Foie de Veau Lyonnaise :

" Pat the slices of liver dry on paper towels and season them with salt and pepper. Heat the 2 tablespoons lard in another frying pan over high heat. Add the liver and sauté until browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn and brown the other side, 1 to 2 minutes longer. Do not let the liver overcook or it will be tough; it is its best pink in the center. Transfer the liver to 5 or 6 warmed plates and pile the (fried) onions on top."

131 The 12 never-used charters include five Success Academy schools okayed by SUNY in 2014.

The network, which already runs 49 schools citywide, had the go-ahead to open a Brooklyn elementary – one of its never-used charters – as well as a Queens middle school for the 2023-24 academic year.

But a lawsuit just filed by the UFT seeks to bar those two charters from sharing space with schools run by the city Department of Education.

So the parents pay for the school building and cannot use it!
Can you imagine the CEO of a company being told by a manager we are building out. It will be used from 8 to 3. It will be used about 170 days a years. Oh yeah, we have to pay the workers about about 50% more than the going rate and we have to pay them forever.

168 How the MFM is spinning Douglass Mackey being convicted for the joke meme of "vote for Hillary via text".

"U.S. far right social media influencer convicted of election interference in 2016 presidential race."

At least Mackey is hopeful of it being overturned.

My guess is he is hoping Biden keels over before his hand is forced into an open challenge against the Obama cabal that is running the executive branch.

170 >>Police in San Antonio, Texas said a man killed another man who allegedly stole his truck after tracking the thief with an Apple AirTag.

Something similar happened in Denver a few months ago. Denver has the highest # of car thefts, so no one expects the police to do much. When a guy's car was stolen, he tracked it using its lowjack (or whatever), then went to get it. He got in a shoot out with the thieves (it was a group of youths) and he killed one of them -- a 12 year old.

After the big news splash, the DA declined to prosecute.

We can expect a lot more vigilantism as BLM and Soros DAs have broken basic law and order competency.

Well, if a literal meat sack who hid in his basement can get 81 million "votes," I suppose a greasy, oily, smooth talking sociopath like Newsome can get 100 million votes.

178 “Biden just cut nearly $5 billion in funding for Medicare Advantage, and this is just his first step. The end goal is to get everyone – not just seniors – onto government-controlled, Medicare-for-All plans.”

That probably explains why Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) has been one of the biggest proponents for these Biden moves. Medicare Advantage represents a public-private company program that people like with good services and broad support. But that stands in the way of Medicare for All, and some on the left don’t like that.

Advantage is very popular as some clinics now have a one stop shop with all the specialist under the same roof and database.

181 I love how the leftists on nextdoor always say you should call the police when something happens like a vehicle break in or package theft from a porch. Austin PD will be right there... in several hours, if ever. Even if they arrest someone the DA will decline to charge. TX DPS is supposed to be helping Austin PD out since they are short over 400 officers with another 80+ that just retired in March. There is effectively no traffic enforcement in Austin. The homeless are also coming back everywhere...

I'll say, it's almost embarrassing just how good it is, and how much money it saves the enrolled. Private networks with a for-profit motive delivering service that garners five star ratings. All while doing it for less money.

So of course Biden will try to kill it.

Hey, are you in the mood for a cute Swedish movie about murder?

The movie's title is- "Small Town Killers"

The story concerns two couples whose marriages have gotten stale. The two guys decide to get divorced and abscond with the hidden money from their lucrative repair business and live the high life as single guys dating hawt women.

But, while filing for divorce, they find out just how costly it's going to be. Esp. because their wives know all about the "secret" hidden assets.

Now, having screwed up their marriages they get completely blotto and complain about the unfairness of it all, if only they could just get rid of their wives...

One of the husbands gets even blottoer (yes, it's a word!!!), and goes on the dark web to hire a hit man from Russia.

The wives get wind of it and decide to hire their own hit woman. Cuz two can play at that game!

I suppose technically this is a black comedy, but really about the only word for it is "cute."
Some good laughs. Overall light humorous tone. Almost no gore at all as most violence takes place off screen and/or is given a humorous wash.

Check it out. On Shudder.

Yep, they still sell "albums" and "singles" but it's now through a streaming service. Mainly Spotify. We're talking big money here. Look at Kanye and Jay-Z, though guys made more money than the artist we grew up listening to ever dreamed of.
