Other than for storing videos and photos taken with your phone, is there a reason to even need more than 256GB on a phone? People with more than 256GB, what do you use your extra capacity for not including the videos and photos you take with it?

I'm a trucker and basically live through my phone for long periods of time so yeah I do.
1TB is minimum for me so I can store movies, music, books, downloaded vods and youtube videos etc and I wish I had more space because it runs out quick.

You don't need more than 120GB on either your phone or your PC. If you're hoarding data you should do so on external storage.

I've concluded, no, there's not a reason to have more then 256G for most users.
Over xmas break I serviced 2 of senpai's computers, removing 1T HDD (10 and 15 years old) and replacing with SSD on mean time to failure concern. Neither was using more than 100G so I replaced with 256G SSD given the absurd prices on anything memory rn.
Given how long both have been in service, using far less than max capacity... the 1T's were overkill.

Has anyone here tried URSA keycaps for Topre switches? If you have, what's the texture like on them? I kinda like the texture of Realforce caps, but there isn't really much in this area compared to MX.

Also created a 135% staggered layout.
Again, every segment is independent of each other but this time you cannot "click" the numpad, macro-pad or arrow-segment in between the halves.
Mx are Macro Keys (duh), Ux are for modules like OLEDs, ro-coders, media keys or extra macro keys. I might add a few more Ux keys around the arrow-keys, maybe I'll turn Fn, right Super and Menu into Ux keys as well. IDK yet.
I still want to add modules like the UHK60 and UHK80 have, but for now I guess I'm happy with the layout.

Any feedback?

Trying the Alexotos dielectric grease thing (just on the stab wire). It seems to make Cherry clip-ins feel sluggish, I might have done too much. Hopefully it redistributes and loosens up with use. We'll see.

Because no-coders, vibe-coders and jeet-coders became a thing more and more throghout the last decade and became even more prevalent since 2020.

Instead of having smart (white) people using un-bloated programming languages to build their own engines and frameworks from the ground-up with performance in mind while still exploring interesting render and physics technologies, companies prefer cheap dumb developers vibe-coding c++ in unreal engine 5 or c# in unity engine that cannot display ps3 era looking titles + partcle effects to your screen without you posessing a xx90 card on your pc.

simplicity isn't the right word, it's more like "intuitiveness". things can have a bit of complexity to them, as long as you can figure stuff out on your own just by looking and navigating

linux isn't like that at all. you have to KNOW things to get stuff done - you can't just click around the system without any reference and expect to get to a solution.

Indians are socially retarded (aside from just being retarded in general). Notice how they don't understand why the world hates them? So many examples of them JUST NOT UNDERSTANDING. This behavior of not getting hints and understanding social cues is precisely why microslop is falling so hard. Indians being indians.
