this is me posting irl
one of my coworkers wants a recommendation on a new laptop for him and his wife. he's in his sixties and won't want to learn mac os and they have zero interest in any gaming that requires a giraffics card. kind of leaning towards throwing him a dell and telling him to buy up a few years of premium support so that if it shits the bed they'll send someone out to replace the motherboard or whatever.

any thoughts on this? i briefly browsed the shsc laptop thread and everyone there talks about refurbs and video cards. lol gently caress that, if the laptop i recommend turns out to be a lemon i want my buddy to be able to get prompt service, or at least if he lassoes me into it to be able to call a person on the phone and say "this poo poo sucks, send someone out to fix this beautiful old man's laptop" and then we can go bullshit on the porch

tell them to go on dell outlet and get one of the dell 15 5000s and yeah to buy the fancy support. theres some on there right now for around $400 with the good screens and decent cpus (8th gen core proccesors, i3 or i5)and those have the better intel integrated graphics for handling bullshit on facebook

of course the fancy support will be another couple hundred on top but you can make dell repair straight up "i knocked it off the table and now it doesnt work" type damage for free with it

that's why you buy the dell "we will show up at your house the next business day to fix it even if it's just that you spilled water on the laptop and fried it" warranty option

I have a thing for courageous dongles

I'm figuring out hardware for a new logging platform and any input on creative solutions would be appreciated. It's sequential IO driven; you give it a time range and the search parameters and it pulls every single log line between those ranges and then evaluates in memory and discards what it doesn't need. This means bus contention is going to be the limiting factor to work around and I'm having a hard time finding a solution that fits what I need. Cheapo SATA SSDs seem to fit the bill just fine, but they the problem becomes the link and interface bandwidth on the controller. NVMe drives directly off the PCIe bus would work but is likely overkill considering those are optimized for random IO which we aren't doing. My dream solution is some kind of M.2 PCIe riser that I can use to fully populate a PE 740 to attach those directly the bus (or as close as matters anyway) and then just swamp it with that.

I think we're constrained to Dell hardware for this one, IO cards and SSDs can probably be sourced 3rd party in a pinch.

Yeah we're talking about 2TB/day ingest. Product we're going with is giving us an unlimited license so I'm going buck wild here.

Tried the bajillion storage controllers route but honestly the $/TB for SATA SSD's is within like 20-30% of Dell's NVMe's and it's not worth the ill-defined performance overhead it's going to incur.

It just sucks because so much stuff is IOP-optimized and this thing runs pretty much exclusively on 1MB reads so I Don't Care, give me the cheapest SSD you have.

Dell get your poo poo together and make a controller with an 8x PCIe interface
