There is always a third really obscure way to do things

Buying a chromebook is like buying nearly expired milk because it's cheaper as a lactose intolerant

Team spirit

MacOS is a great os, and it comes with solid hardware. If you use your laptop for anything except gaming, and you can pay premium, a mac is a really good choise. Also, it's a lot easier to develop apps for iphones from macs, and that's a thing that a lot of people do.

I support this idea, and based on the things I read here, it seems to me that different cultures have different norms for asking a question, and that's a good thing, but can create not so pleasant social situations here in the internet

I have no problem with questions on forums, sometimes I ask them myself, but I think that if you expect people to try to answer your question, people should be able to expect you to have tried looking for an answer yourself.

This type of answer wouldn't exist if people typed the question into google instead of reddit/lemmy/forums/etc...

That's impressive, what brand it is?

Not yet, but the next time I need to reinstall(probably when my new processor arrives), I probably will.

Also, I have an 8 year old kingston ssd and it's still working, so I recommend those, but my kingston flash drive failed after around 2 years, but it can't be that bad of a choise

My survivor usb is a lexar too, that's one of the reasons I recently bought an ssd from them, I hope that it has the same quality, and if yes, it'll become my go-to brand for storage devices

This makes me want to buy a sandisk

I can't show it anymore because I broke the motherboard while putting a new one in, but it can handle 1440p on 75hz pretty good, if you disable the blur effects, videos above 1080p can sometimes cause problems if they have heavy encoding like vp9 or av1

This is another good looking solution!

I usually just use the ones that just spawn into existance, that way they don't cost money. Last time I bought a toshiba, before that a kingston, and I don't remember what was before that, but I know that if I buy, I buy from reputable brands and even those fail.

The only pendrive that lasted longer than 2 years for me is a 1gb lexar pendrive that is so old that I don't remember where it comes from, but from google I know that they were sold between 2006-12. I use them for installers, and sometimes to give legally obtained movies to my dad. I might be unlucky, but I had a pendrive that only lasted 2 writes.

I might try this for the next install, thank you!

Yes, they are cheap, but they wear out so fast that they aren't even worth that little money you put into them.

These new pendrives wear out after 2 months of light usage, so I'm probably going to choose the second one, but I'm afraid that if I make this step, there's no going back, and I'll forever be sucked into the void.

How do I do that?
