Apologies if this is a dumb question, but are there reasons for someone to buy a surveillance hard drive, aside from like, surveillance purposes?

I've done a little reading and it's not really clear to me. My partner just bought one and I'm a little nervous that he's going to use it to spy on me. I'm just wondering if there are other, plausible reasons he would purchase that particular type of hard drive.

He does a lot of gaming. He has described his set-up as having some sort of a mirror system to protect against data loss in case one hard drive goes down. His computer is running pretty much 24/7.

Each thing that I've read mentions something about surveillance video storage. I will ask him directly the next time I see him, but I just want to know if I'm over-reacting before I do. I had a previous partner record me without my knowing so just seeing the word "surveillance" in this context makes me nervous.

Pic is what he bought. Thanks for any info.

>but are there reasons for someone to buy a surveillance hard drive,

There is not any realistic 'decent' hard drives meant for watching peoples activity.

As person said, things, names may have meanings that may seem, troublesome.

'surveillance' may seem sound distressful. But it surely in its-self of the product is benign.
-
There are hard drives that contain pre-installed software. This would be one.

If he has a better plan, he would simply wipe the per-installed software, and install what he likes.
-
A simple example, people game, and are serious, people game for years and
get to levels that take months years, and if their HD goes out, all that effort is
gone. So simply mirroring their drive, they have a backup.

That is what this Hd seems to do. (which one could spend less, to do the same thing.)

Reality, some people sell their achievements in online gaming for thousands of dollars.

Really.

Some software will try to secure online gaming, the 'Surveillance, aspect' I assume is software an the hard-drive, pre-installed; trying to keep peoples online gaming data intact if things go south. A backup.

Gamers are kinda, not weird, but generally know their stuff. It is kinda a different world in computing.

Seems if the contentious activity, so the hard drives would be not identical. In comparison to just a random hard drive picked up. Like this, I have gotten WD external or whatever hard drives. The first thing I would do is wipe their default
software.

If they're cheaper than the NAS hard drives buy them and use them in your NAS.
The main difference is gonna be amount of cache and caching behavior.

The surveillance HDs are optimized for constant writing over reading or random access.

They did this because too many addons could be a potential security risk, having them signed helps ensure the stability and security of the program and your system. Every now and then most programs go off or reinvent themselves
where not everybody likes it of have issues that were not there before.

Firefox is likely the most observed browser in it's code, looking for

SD cards are not doing a lot of this and their write endurance is relatively low.
They do wear leveling, not overprovisioning. They don't have spare blocks, at least nothing like the 7%-15% an SSD does, they just try to preserve the ones they have.

My roommate, a computer-savvy fellow, turned his computer on today only to find this shit installed, with a Firefox Add-on too. It doesn't appear to be a virus, but we're both baffled at how this got there. He hasn't installed anything in years, so it can't be from a missed bundled installed or something.

Internet searches yielded nothing, so I come to you /tech/. Any idea how this shit got on his computer?

Also the lower the voltage your mouse runs at, the more it's out of spec with the Omron switches they put in them, and the more likely your mouse is going to develop bouncing and double clicks.

A wired mouse running at 5 volts is not running far out of spec. A wireless one running at 3.3v is running WELL out of spec and may run into issues where it can't even reliably cut through the normal wear and tear and corrosion to hit its rated number of clicks.

The kicker is that even the wired mice might still be running 3.3v controller chips in them so we're just fucked.

Replace them with Japanese Omrons if your mouse buttons break. They're a completely different switch with lower voltage rating from the normal Omrons and clones.

So I'm trying to rip episodes of The Last Drive-In off Shudder since with volatile digital rights agreements these shows will be gone forever at some point (probably within a year of airing) so I'm trying to rip the episodes to save and it seems like it ripped the video file correctly based on the file size, the length, dimensions, bitrate, and framerate, but I've tried the file in VLC, MPC-HC, and PotPlayer and the seeker will move like it's playing but it just shows blank video and no audio plays.

Any ideas how to repair the file so that it plays?

How to rip directly from a stream is almost always a closely guarded secret. If a commercial video platform knew how people were doing it, they would break the method. Your best bet is either capturing the video or looking for a forum where you can make scene requests.

The damndest thing is that both Jaksta and Video Download Helper both grab like a 1GB mp4 file with what seems to be the correct video dimensions and running time, but it just doesn't play any video or audio like it was running on some weird codec. I was hoping this was something I could repair through handbrake or whatever but I guess not.

Oh well, I guess I'll just hope someone else figured this out and just download the series in the future once it's been removed so I have a digital backup. I guess I could ghetto screen record it but the file size would likely come out to like 5 gigs or some retarded shit.

Covert smoking in public or otherwise. I never really liked to get high with other people except for the few associates. Get high in romt of people and they never noticed.Except for putting hash in a gig, as an experement to how much to gethigh and with a filter, it worked empigh, but dude kept saying loudly, somebody's smoking pot. As the smoke streamed off the hash chunks.

MP4 should be fine. I would stop download. See if mp4 works correctly using your favorite media software. Use c cleaner to maybe remove excess clutter. Too many temp files. reset modem/router, reboot computer and try again. Do right click on computer (properties) and see if you have enough free space. Sometimes not enough free space will cause files from uploading. Do this before and after using cleaner just for reference. Possible, the upload site will not allow a file if it is too big? And just kind stay there. Maybe not the file size and their max upload size, and if they accept mp4 files.

Short version: I need a tablet or notepad that is cheap and not shit and I can use instead of a notebook + printer + computer combo.

Essential
>Cheap but not cheap piece of shit
>good battery life
>will let me view and edit documents with a reasonably decent interface and not awful responsiveness
>no proprietary bullshit like non standard USB cables.
>can get it in the post brexit wasteland
>will get a good few years out of it before it grinds to a halt

Preferable
>can handle having a couple of documents open or even PDFs
>decent build quality

>Also could use recommendations for a bluetooth keyboard I guess because I have a feeling the editing documents will need that.

Long version for context.

A while ago I started a D&D campaign with friends, after I wrote my first adventure I realised my handwriting was garbage and also I actually can't write for long periods of time without an old injury causing me grief. I started writing my adventures on word and printing them out and it works better. However the printer is shit, it drinks ink, loading it is a pain in the arse and frequently it jams and I still have to take notes and update them or something if I want a record of what people did. I have a game on saturday and the ink will probably be enough for that but by my next session I'd like to have ditched the printer.

So I want a tablet I can use as a notebook, keep my adventure notes, write down results, maybe keep a few quick reference stat blocks to reduce page turning mid combat. A phone won't cut it but I don't think I need a really nice tablet or notepad, just something that's not a cheap piece of shit.

Where did you get the idea I am replacing a laptop or creating content with my notepad? I want something that will basically allow me to store and edit notes and sync them in something about the same size as a notepad. I am not a power user, I was just hoping I could find some more discerning help than the usual mix of paid shills and barely computer literate "I can sort of operate facebook" level users that populate the majority of sources of information on the quality of these devices.

Anyway my printer was reporting low but not depleted ink and then very suddenly it had none, I did not expect that I needed something today for my game. I thought given my price range, I'd be better off picking up a less than perfect deal than forking out money for a print cartridge, being angry at how poorly designed my printer is for another 4 months then having it spend slightly less for a slightly better device. I expected to have a couple of weeks to sort this out when I posted it and not 2 days.

I got something for £150 and it does what I want. It can read and edit documents. I think when I've gotten used to it the process will be much easier and more reliable than printing shit then updating a master record later (it's good to know all the things my party does, they're getting to the stage where they can cause geopolitical scale upsets in their own world), as I can just update shit on the fly and replace the old files entirely.
