apparently freetube automatically uses a new invidious instance every time it starts up.

i think you misunderstood OP.

the dude asks about SSD cash for torrents and your multimillion-dollar answer is “raid”. lol

as people have already pointed out multiple times, what OP wants is something like mergerfs or unraid which can handle files on SSD cash and then move to spinning disks later.

wtf does raid have to do with anything here? yeah, sure, I’m the slow one.

or you could, you know, think about it for a second from their point of view. and they have already clarified this in other comments.

what is the point of faster download if you just have to do another entire copy after that?

but if the disk is actually bottlenecking at 40MB/s it will still take time to copy from the SSD. That plus the initial download to SSD will just end up being more time than downloading to the spinning disk at 40MB/s in the first place.

what OP wants is to download the file to a SSD, be able to use it on the SSD for a time, and then have the file moved to spinning disk later when they don’t need to wait for it.

this is just adding an extra step to the process before the file can be available to use. you’re just saving the copying to the HDD until the very end of the torrent.

itunes has been gone for like 5 years.

I believe they were joking since Microsoft is pushing AI into everything these days.

“Get off the goddamn moral high horse with the work-from-home bullshit,” Musk said, “because they’re asking everyone else to not work from home while they do.”

elon musk, the great social equity watchdog. watch, next he’s gonna say “Get off the goddamn moral high horse with the fair wages bullshit, because they’re asking everyone else to work for minimum wage while they don’t.”

probably because it’s more complicated than just improving the bandwidth on single wifi networks, which we have been making steady progress on. picking the low hanging fruit first.

eh, rich people car shop as well, and there is plenty of competition in that market. of course some people will still opt for BMW, we just have to hope enough go elsewhere to make them lose marketshare. but… it’s not looking good so far.

if they’re restricting apps to that degree you probably can’t install extensions anyway.

It’s not a matter of should or could, it’s just not something that’s going to happen. The vast majority of Americans don’t want the government directly meddling with business models to that degree.

i’m not sure heavy subsidization would work the same way in the US. We’ve already seen EV manufacturers adjust their prices based on available tax credits, so i feel like they’d just raise prices even more as subsidies increase. in china the govt can ensure this doesn’t happen.

I was addressing your assertion that none qualify for tax credits, which is wrong. but if you want to compare the prices to Chinese EVs, NA EVs aren’t produced in china. part of the price is developing production here in the US, which we want to do.

You also have the option of getting a used EV with a smaller tax credit, which is what I did.

sure they do.

Bolts for example qualify and are relatively affordable.

I mean, we are with tax credits if they meet certain requirements like assembly in North America, etc.

and we want to support domestic construction of EVs as well.
