Samsung has always seemed like the reliable (albeit expensive) option to me. I personally went with a 2TB Sabrent NVMe because it was on sale and it hasn’t failed me yet.

It’s been a long time since I was on blind but I recall them asking you to provide your work email to verify your employer. Don’t recall them actually sending anything so not entirely sure how it verified. Blind is definitely a mixed bag of a platform, super toxic with people dick measuring over TC but also decent for getting word of what’s coming your way (layoffs, etc)

I make a mental note to avoid a company and their products whenever I see an ad. If I want your thing, I will seek it out. You wanna entice me to buy it? Go make your blogpost demonstrating why yours is better than the alternatives I’m looking at.

Kind of? It’s certainly companies actively moving towards shittier services at the same time as others, but I don’t think it’s as much of explicit and intentional collusion as it is high school clique prom politics and VC money drying up post rate hikes. There’s more of a focus by investors on generating profit over growth at this point because money is no longer free. The safest play for a lot of these boardrooms is to not stand out as a company not realigning priorities to reflect this.

Facebook did layoffs? Okay we have too as well or we’re not in the same big boy class as facebook. … See? We’re safe, money please

Really happy to see that the dev is bringing Boost to Lemmy/Threadiverse. Losing Boost has been the saddest part of reddit shutting down for me
