    Quite the opposite. Use drives from as many different manufacturers as you can, especially when buying them at the same time. You want to avoid similar lifecycles and similar potential fabrication defects as much as possible, because those things increase the likelihood that they will fall close to each other - particularly with the stress of rebuilding the first one that failed.




  • I feel it necessary to make an important point here: there is a reason flash is dead. It’s horrible insecure. Fortunately the interest base for this kind of thing is fairly small, because someone with ill intent would not have a hard time providing a malicious swf and gain access to your system.

    Now maybe - hopefully - the steam deck makes good use of various sandboxing technologies, but I’d recommend proceeding with care anyway.
