Encrypted on disk, yes, but if the data is accessed at the Software layer (which I’m willing to bet it is), it will definitely be unencrypted and usable.

you guys suck

Don’t forget the “WITHOUT PREJUDICE” magic law words otherwise their lawyers will construct the letter as blackmail.

That would vary from one jurisdiction to another, but I’m sure you can find guides best suited for your local laws. As inspiration, here’s what I sent to Amazon & Samsung last year (in a formal cease & desist format):

Amazon .com .ca ULC 40 King Street W 47th Floor Toronto, Ontario M5H 3Y2

Samsung Electronics Canada Inc. 2050 Derry Road West Mississauga, Ontario L5N 0B9

Montreal, April 26, 2024

WITHOUT PREJUDICE

Dear Madam or Sir,

I purchased a Samsung 980 PRO SSD 2TB drive (model MZ-V8P2T0) on Amazon .ca on March 3, 2022, which broke on April 4, 2024. This product was used under normal conditions, and I believe it should be covered by the manufacturer’s 5-year warranty.

Several chat sessions with Amazon and Samsung support have failed to provide a solution, with each party referring the matter to the other.

I am requesting that you repair or exchange the product under the Consumer Protection Act regarding the legal warranty of the reasonable durability of a product. I am also requesting reimbursement of $25 to cover the cost of sending this letter.

Therefore, I am formally notifying you to resolve the above-mentioned issue within 10 days. Failing to do so may result in legal action against you without further notice or delay.

I’ve been sending Cesse & Desist to companies that waste my time with their unhelpful support (including once to Amazon). It costs 15$ for registered mail, immediately gets the attention of their legal department (and real support staff) that usually want to resolve the issue ASAP as I’m wasting the time of their precious lawers. Highly recommended.

Oh wow! I’d give you Lemmy gold if I could 🥇

Like I’d want to visit this shithole

Oh that’s great I was looking for something like this to move away from Notion. Thanks!

Not a world first at all

I’m very satisfied with Hetzner Storage Box. It’s dirt cheap (1 TB for € 3.20) and they support a lot of file transfer protocol / backup software. I’m using Borg for that part.

it’s definitively fast on my installation. Might I suggest looking at the log level and making sure it’s not set to INFO or DEBUG? That’s what was holding my instance back.

I can confirm the Intel version of the Framework 13 works amazingly with an eGPU (Fedora). 11th gen was my daily driver until I upgraded to a Framework 16 😎

thank mr skeltal

Great game; terrible publisher; even worse mandatory download client
