Think I did this with built in Windows software last time and then put little txt documents in either start menu so I didn’t get confused.
if your SSD doesn’t come with software i’ve used macrium reflect free before. it’s EOL as of earlier this year but i’m pretty sure it’ll still work fine

what case is that?
am guessing that “front” is referring to the metal plane the MB attaches to and not the front of the case. judging from the angle of the insertion arrows for 5e, check out the holes in the metal plane above the drive cage. looks about right for the mounting points on the bottom of a 2.5 SSD + enough open space to run cables via the “back”

I think this is it. Gonna have to do some work but will give it a try.
Edit: it’s a Zircon I Rosewill case btw.

They mount to the side towards the front where the dotted lines are pointing.

the discovery of these lines feels like an archaelogical moment where something held to be true for centuries becomes apocryphal knowledge. wow thank you.

The mounting location holes for your case might be a bit different since the illustration is for another case (with the same exact instructions), but they should be in roughly the same area.

I actually tried this last night but had them rotated. Seems like I gave up on that idea too soon!

velcro strap them in somewhere. velcro is the best fastener because it had attitude. and, after all, what are we all if not dirty velcro.

I found a 48" 1080p dumb tv for $50 at goodwill. Online it’s going for $300. It will be months before I have a table for it, or a chair, but I still feel pretty slick right now.

My current gaming laptop is starting to show it’s age. CPU temps are rising, and battery is swelling. Had to disconnect the battery for safety reasons. I have other laptops and am honestly considering just getting a Steam Deck for gaming going forward.

while computer stability is finally stable I feel like my computer’s CPU is now the big limiting factor, an i7 4280k or somesuch. Getting 30fps in VR Chat despite having a freakin RTX 3060. Do I rebuild a whole computer to just be a virtual animal? probably yeah. yeah

I mean, sure, you’re physically rebuilding it but more likely than not you’re just grabbing a new motherboard, CPU and ram and ram is currently just so hilariously cheap right now it may as well not even count against the cost (literally staring at a 32GB DDR4 kit for 55 bucks)
you could do real headass shit like grabbing a cheap Alder or Raptor Lake chip and a DDR5 board and then you have room for vertical improvement on the platform and ram that’ll last you for at least the next 4-5 years if you decide to do another upgrade

I haven’t been a iPhone user since the iPhone 3G but the Pixel line of phones are removing their SD card slots, and I have a macbook now, so I am wondering if I should just switch on over to some latest iPhone. How do you deal with the tiny storage space? I keep music on my phone (and too many pictures, tbh) so the notion of having only 128GB on a phone feels trapping to me.
maybe this is silly but I was in a similar predicament and just considering the highest capacity cheap iphone (512 GB SE?)
Currently Samsung Android user and they got rid of SD Card storage too around the S10 series. I have a lot of music and even think 256 GB is limiting.
new phones next month have usb-c ports, good time to do it
that said if you locally store your music library on your phone i foresee you will chafe at many aspects of ios
there’s icloud photo library for offloading images and video provided you have the storage available in icloud but i’ve never thought about syncing a music library to be honest
maybe keep your old phone as a media player?

re: photos, basic icloud is $1 a month, the OS backs your less recent photos up as you go and they show up in the desktop photos app automatically, i literally never think about it
