<p>Customer demands (or hoarding) sentiments kept us busy on the production lines of racks with 1K+ drives and I think we've already shipped out more than 5K of them since early last year. No supply constraints on cpu and memory parts due to the way this sku was designed but damn did we have so many defective hdd's; I'd ballpark about 20% from the vendor and 10% from mishandling.</p>

<p>We may never know which sector of the economy you are in to believe WFH is a good idea unless you explicitly state it but given this is HN, I'm just going to make a lazy assumption for software dev or engineering. WFH sounds great in theory only if _everyone_ participates in it but is hardly the case in reality.<p>For example: If you can sustainably and reliably source your daily necessities like having the ability to cook or maintain a decent home environment that support it, kudos. Thought the covid lockdowns showed us how fragile that system can be especially for those _essential people_ to be physically around to feed you or keep your shit running.<p>As a side note: how do you feel about being snookered by your local government's policy under the pretext that _essential work_ just gives your employers the ability to maintain the same minimum wage labor cycle just so you can feel giddy about how good this idea is?</p>

<p>> ...there was no video footage because the camera wasn't connected to a paid subscription, and so the data was overwritten, he said.<p>I know Wyze and Tapo's security cameras will still cache event recordings onto the MicroSD without a paid subscription. The former will just continuously overwrite fifo style when storage exceeds the card's capacity; should be trivial to recover if they didn't implement CMD32, 33, 38 specifications correctly (or the SD is too old to support those commands).</p>
