GloriousGbola: did the drive fail, or did it start giving formayt messages
when a drive has failed , you usually hear a clicking sound. however a lot of the time, if a drive has a bad connector, or an iffy supply, what happens is the partition table gets messed up. the files are still there, but you need to recover them
this is the real problem with HDDs over 1tb. they are formatted using GPT anything below that is typically formatted using MBR, and you can easily rebuild the partition table of a fked MBR drive in 5 minutes or less. but drives over 1tb, every time i have had to use data recovery software [runtime get data back] to recover the files. no way to rebuild partition - or if there is, i am yet to find it. The real problem with big ass drives - you need another big ass drive to copy the recovered files from if they have any issue. and you better ensure you connect the drives to the fastest I/O your pc has.
i remember the horrors of data migration with usb 2.0. i had a win 7 laptop with usb 3.0 ports. but usb 3.0 will not work in win 7 without you install the drivers. so i was copying from a 1tb drive to a 2tb drive at maybe 300kb/s - with a 1 week forecast. installed usb 3,0 drivers and i copied it all in 2 hours The problem started with the write speed of the drive trickling down from about 80mb/s on USB 3.0 to about 300kb/s...when he finally raised an alarm and i ran the HDD on "Hard disk Sentinel" software...the health was about 5% and the drive wasn't even allowing us move files from it, i was still in the process of getting a good data recovery software before it gave the dreaded "format" message. The advantages of having drives over 1TB or more are much, for one it is relatively cheaper to get 1TB HDD than getting two 500GB HDD to make up to 1TB...but the downsize is should the 1TB crash or fail, A large chunk of your files is gone, and as you rightly said, recovering a HDD 1TB over can be herculean. I stopped giving out my External HDD a while back cuz I don't want trouble..i got a USB 3.0 64gb flash i use to send files to other people, takes time but it's worth it. I tasted USB 3.0 some years back and i knew USB 2.0 was proper trenches and i am not going back although, i upgraded to WIN 11 awhile back and the speed reduced for some reason I can't fathom so i am back to WIN 10 which along with WIN 7 ,are the true perfect OS, Microsoft have ever made  |

GloriousGbola: all those indian 'upscaled' 480p videos
yep, it is all about where you download from. i remember a friend getting mockbuster downloaded for him - which is even worse. 'age of hobbits 
fooking no name chinko shit devices. i guess you're right about the storage - and also the device issues
one time , a family friends daughter was ill and i said i would copy some movies for her to watch. i knew their tv was an older one [most 4k have quad core and can run x265] so i ensured i picked files that would be compatible believe it or not, the tv could not even play mp4s. i think the only file it supported was .avi, a format i have almost completely said goodbye to.
yep, i know that feeling. my external storage has grown larger and larger over the years. there are now 20tb hdds out there. the only worry about a 20tb hdd is that even with the usb 3.2 , you will still have a hard time recovering files if the disc crashes
damn this country [or maybe greedy sellers]and forcing people to celebrate/manage s**t . my own personal stand on entertainment is that if i am going to give up some hours of productivity, the enjoyment must be maxed out.
in 2015 i wanted to buy a 65 inch tv. prices were 550 and above and out of my budget,i found some dudes selling hisense, and they wanted to sell at 600k. i knew it was overpriced and waka pass. the next year, fouani started selling those 65 inch hisesne at 250k. sometimes it is just the fooking greed of hustlers 'struggling to feed their families' Howling at your screenshot  Good Lord! How many drives do you have?? And i thought 4 External HDD for me was an overkill... My fear is one of these drive failing....i have an LG 1TB from 2014 that it's on his last leg now and i am praying it endures till i can do a full backup. My friend's 4TB HDD crashed this year and he almost ran mad  |

GloriousGbola: In 2013, I bought a 50 inch 720p TV. Everything was crisp on the TV. Today TVs are 1080p or 4k. Your 480p video will not look good.watch different sizes of videos on your pc. I use daum pot player which will play the videos at their actual resolution. Maximize a 480p video and you will immediately see the blurring.
I stopped messing with overly compressed video when I realized how those 10 in one dvds ruin your viewing experience.
If you take the time to curate your suppliers on the high seas you can get fair sized 720p and 1080p Getting a fair sized "720p and 1080p" is still comprising on quality IMO. I once got a fraudulent "1080p" at 900mb for a movie of about 2hrs runtime, of course i can't begin to tell you how bad the quality was. PSA and MTB release group have the best quality x265 low size file in recent years, even at that a standard movie with a run-time of at least 1hr:30mins will average a size of between 700mb - 900mb for 720p and between 1.4gb to 2.0gb for 1080!... That's a whole month's data plan for most people in this clime!. Lemme me talk about the devices...I kid you not... most devices in this clime are still running Andriod versions as low as Kit kat and lollipop with an average ram of 2gb so the codec for playing x265 1080p natively is missing, so even with the app of a third party app, the files will stutter. Tvs that have support for low size x265 encodes are the ones made most likely after 2016. People in this clime still use a 2012 Samsung 42inches plasma with only native support for Mp4 and x264 Mkv files. Let's face it..people download movies, see them, and save them to send out to friends or re see again. Most people in this clime won't have the storage space to save the numerous 720p or 1080p movies and series that comes out weekly... Someone with a 32gb, 64gb or 128GB Rom or Sdcard will run out of space in months. I and a friend had a challenge in 2020 to only cop 1080p and 4k files with a little 720p, and i tell you, it has cost me alot of money and time, i am on my 4th External Hard Disk with my total 1080p files at a ridiculous 2.2TB! at the moment. I have always preached the gospel of getting quality 1080p or 720p at least but i have seen enough reasons and constraints while is convenient for most people to just cop 480p at best and move long ..NN and recently Nkiri has made things relatively better for these folks...in the days of Fz and Movies mobile....A whole movie could just be 100mb! and an average series episode was 60mb. |

Baddestguyp: 2021 chart
Even in 2020 Demon Slayer manga outsold the entire comic book industry... One Piece too has been topping sales consistently for years...
You can check all these yourself...it's not an argument at this point...it's pure fact
Even Food Wars, a manga about cooking outsold all the superhero comics...you can't be pushing wokeness and expect sales lol... You can do your research...the numbers are embarrassing...comic books don't even enter top 5 I was actually looking for the data that states "American comic wokeism" is the reason Japanese Comics outsell them but okay. |

Baddestguyp: American comics have turned into woke shii...except few like Invincible
No one reads American comics anymore...even their stores are dominated by Japanese manga... The movies mostly adapt old ones with changes...
Check comic sales...manga tops everything by far...comics aren't even close at all...cos they aren't enjoyable anymore... generic stories plus woke agenda...no one wants to buy a comic to read about feminism or LGBTQ
We all watched mount Zion movies years back...tho I doubt they still make them and even if they do...no one watches anymore... All this you are saying are "hearsay"...do you have any data to back up @ bolded? |

Chibudollar: This world has literally gone mad because what on the name of fukkkk is this shitttt. When we cry about forcing LGBT down our throats some of you here come defending them now see Well you might think the "world has gone mad" but Disney, a billion dollar company which probably has one of the keys to the entertainment kingdom currently, knows what we rake in more money for them and if incorporating LGBT content into thier media does it, they wouldn't hesitate to do that, they are literally even killing two bird with one stone that being, making ridiculous income and satisfying a "woke" world. And This narrative about "they are forcing LGBT content down our throat" doesn't fly with me, cuz you can literally avoid their content. If you are looking for "morally upright content", "Mount Zion ministries" are still in the business of making movies and there are other media conglomerate making movies devoid of LGBT content so you literally have a choice. |

abduleez1: Boss abeg show me the way. Which app is that that curates one's movie or TV goals. I need something like that to manage my entertainment consumption.
I used to use pen and paper to curate my watchlist and entertainment goals but over the years I've grown tired of it.  Lmaoo...Antispam bot is on my case for some reason, i remember i got banned for mentioning the app i use to curate movies and series sometime ago and I don't know why....so i just made a screen shot of it for you my man.... search for both apps on the app store and use whichever you like.
