I just got a deal for an Huawei Watch 1 for $60 - barely used - no burn in, love the screen quality and everything.

The only thing that lets me down is the brightness outdoor. It's totally unreadable even in cloudy conditions - even at maximum brightness.

I'm comparing it to the Gear S3 Frontier I had and Amazfit Smartwatches I own.

Now is that the usual for that watch or should I return it and try another model (got it from a vendor and am still within the return period).

I don't think I can do anything softwareweise and it's certainly no burn in either.

If you're like me and can't stand the limited quality of Google Cloud Printing you're currently out of luck - theoretically Chrome OS actually provides a way to add a CUPS Printer but it's bugged and you cannot really add any custom PPD file - it seems like you require a special PPD file that works with Chrome OS (close to non-existant I guess).

But fear not - There is a way around that - it involves installing CUPS in Crostini and enabling sharing the installed printer with the host.

1. Open up the Crostini Terminal
2. sudo apt-get install cups
3. sudo apt-get install system-config-printer
4. Get your drivers and extract or install them (e.g. Samsung Unified Linux Drivers)
5. `xhost +

I've tried to undig some infos regarding shock resistances of modern HDDs at operation and non-operation (to find out which one of them is theoretically the least vibrating most resistant one of them) and was very surprised to find that the Seagate ST8000DM004 (SMR, to be found in all external variant of Seagate) is rated to withstand higher operational shocks then the HGST HE10 drives (at least when reading).

Clearly I must be missing something here (Vibration vs. Shock, Frequencies) ???

I remember reading somewhere that these specific Seagate SMR drives are not made to withstand multi-drive operation (?)

Does someone know a good source of information to properly compare these ratings o

Since I've been constantly hearing how bad SMR drives are I figured I'd give the Seagate Expansion Desktop 8TB a go since it was on sale for 139 bucks instead of the regular 179.

Especially since it uses only 4x2 Tab Platters without Helium (repairable). I have to say its quite silent compared to my older Disks so far. Which suprises me a bit. Temperatures seem also below the Helium drives, which sounds logical looking that it has way less Platters and Read-Heads.

Keep in mind I've yet to shrugg it - I'm testing it over USB3 in its enclosure esclusively right now.

I've already written over 11.5 TB to it in the spawn of 64 hours ... so far yet to notice any slowdowns to single MB/s. The

Am I blind or can't I find the addresses of your offices anymore on the webpage?

Not even at job offers? I'm speaking about the full addresses, not just rough locations ...

Has anyone checked back there in person?

I've asked for team pictures long since but so far I haven't seen any?

These team numbers and analysist numbers seem to be growing from report to report so I figured it would be worth having a second look here.
