And yet in this case if I change my agent to any non-FF value while using FF, videos load immediately.

I set my agent back to FF, 5 second delay.

If you set up hardware encryption, be sure to change the master password and set the security level to maximum.

Be aware, this password is different than the Physical Secure ID (PSID) printed on the front of the disk. PSIDs are used when the release to reset command doesn’t work, typically due to key issues, and the drive gets “locked”.

You use the PSID to run a revert to factory defaults command, unlocking the drive. Since this triggers the drive to release its’ key, the drive is considered “cryptographically erased” when you do this.

If you revert the drive, data on it is unrecoverable.

If you’re going to revert a drive, I suggest using a QR Code reader to get the PSID off the drive. Some venders are sadists with the font they choose making it so much fun to figure out if it’s a 1, l i I I O or 0…

It sounds like the article is an update to the age old performance issue discussions between hardware and software RAID solutions.

If you use a software solution for anything where there’s a dedicated hardware solution, the software solution is always slower due to CPU overhead.

Article recommendation boils down to: If you’re going to use encryption, and you want your full disk speed, use a hardware encryption solution. In their test their hardware supported OPAL.

No, they don’t.

SSDs, unless you buy a specifically encryption supported drive, are not encrypted. If it doesn’t indicate SED, SED non-FIPS or a FIPS certification level, the drive doesn’t have an encryption circuit.

Most of SSD already has good encryption methods

Unless you purchase a SED-non FIPS or FIPS SSD, no, they don’t

and an easy way to safely wipe data without re-writing each byte.

ATA Secure Erase is a god send for SSD.

Great, now do it with all of the confederacy crap

If you recognize the language, use that. If it’s in a language you don’t recognize, you could put it into google translate and see what it shows up as.

If the language on the root post is your native language, then just set it for your account from undetermined to your native language.

Try setting your language in your account to whatever the root thread language is.

Copy thread url, paste it into an incognoto mode browser that’s not logged into the instance. Compare what you see with your account settings and decide if you need to make changes or not.

Thank you for the info on this, will be using it going forward.

Not sure if you did this on purpose, or if something else did it as part of editing, but your bulleted steps included an en dash (–) instead of two short dashes (–).

Have had issues in the past with that, generally with WYSIWYG type editors combining your – into either – or —.

Depends on if you have a 3D printer

Eve Online where, as long as you’re not telling your victim to use real world money to buy things before you scam them, anything goes.

You might want to hold off on the deletion part… After the comments about “reddit is restoring posts”, I logged back in and saw my entire history had been restored after 24 hours. That includes messages I deleted years ago.

So, went through and re-ran power delete suite again. Next day, there were a few back.

Going the lather-rinse-repeat route with wiping them. I figure if they want to burn CPU cycles recovering my stuff, I can burn their CPU cycles deleting it again. At some point I’ll see about sending them a support request to remove all of my data if it keeps occurring.
