@kasperd @ireneista @RogerBW to me an internal hard drive in an enclosure is a win because it is in a nice plastic case and it won't get banged up in a move or something

@dysfun @RogerBW @ireneista I don't understand this post. You're saying I should avoid using the Purple drives for purposes *other* than the surveillance camera usecase?

@RogerBW @ireneista Some people are trying to convince me not to buy an external usb hard drive for backup but instead spend $40 more on an internal hd and then i guess a bit more than that on an enclosure

They told me I needed "purple surveillance"

@Kimiko_0 is the quality level of a 2010 WD drive necessarily equal to the quality level of a 2026 WD drive?

@CliftonR hm interesting, that will require an enclosure though I guess

@darkling if i am looking at a specific WD drive, is there a way of finding out if it's one with a dodgy firmware?

@ratsnakegames Do I need to worry about this if the seller/shipper is amazon.ca?

Are Western Digital drives trustworthy these days. If I want to buy a pretty big non-flash hard drive for "backup and throw in a drawer" purposes, is this a good choice

@groxx @0xabad1dea There are various existing solutions but just because the solutions exist does not mean people follow them corectly

@porglezomp I'm talking to someone and we think we found the android API

@noone2333 thanks. Do I need a 个 or something on the 八?

@ehashman I have found an absolutely BAFFLING intersection of Android features and I'd wonder if it's just this tablet is messed up but I found people on Stack Overflow having the same problem with the same fix

@Heliograph @rk The 个 is a friend that you give to a number so that it does not get lonely

Anyways I think the sentence was wrong to start with because it's missing 个s or something

Update: I solved the problem, not by adding Chinese as an alternate language for my Android, but by deleting Japanese as an alternate language. Not sure when I did this or what I was trying to accomplish but I question Google's decision that informing it I may look at text in Japanese makes it conclude I DEFINITELY won't be looking at Chinese!

@r thank you very much.

@Ongion I appear to have previously configured Japanese as an allowed language on this laptop (or it shipped that way?) and that's making it do weird things
