My 1TB Seagate drive has finally died on me after 7 years of heavy usage (I had backups, that's not the point). What are some of /g/'s favorite HDD's that offer the best price to GB ratio? Ideally something that would last as long.

Who will it affect first?
How far out is it?
How will Americans survive the inevitability of huge job loss where the job market is already slimmed down because of automation?

This period of history isn't set to be like other periods of history where technology actually opened up new job markets and industries creating new jobs the world adapted to. This is a period where robots will literally remove humans from jobs and other robots will take over new jobs created from that automation.

Would love to hear theories from others on how this will affect unemployment and possible solutions that will be implemented because of the coming displacement.

This is a very real scenario that will be coming about in the next couple of decades and will affect 10's of millions of people.

Thoughts, theories, solutions?

Installation:
https://mpv.io/installation/

Wiki:
https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/wiki

Manual:
https://mpv.io/manual/stable/

mpv.conf example:
https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/blob/master/etc/mpv.conf

input.conf example:
https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/blob/master/etc/input.conf

User Scripts(including opengl shaders):
https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/wiki/User-Scripts

Migrating from MPC-HC?
https://github.com/dragons4life/MPC-HC-config-for-MPV/blob/master/input.conf

Vulkan(Linux only for now):
https://github.com/atomnuker/mpv

Test vulkan and post logs if it gives you any kind of problems.

For better playback quality paste this in your mpv.conf file:

# Specify high quality video rendering preset
profile=opengl-hq      
# Scaler used when upscaling chroma (color information)  
cscale=ewa_lanczos      
# Scaler used when upscaling video  
scale=ewa_lanczossharp    
 
# https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/wiki/Display-synchronization  
# Force video to lock on the display's refresh rate
video-sync=display-resample    
# Reduces stuttering
interpolation
# Interpolation scaler
tscale=oversample            

Notes: Remove cscale and scale if your computer isn't powerful enough.
Interpolation can also reduce framerate drastically.

Mpv uses software decoding by default.
You may want to enable hardware decoding using hwdec=auto or hwdec=auto-copy.
Note that it can lead to issues, depending on your video card.

Getting freezes under Windows?
Add

angle-flip=no

to your mpv.conf.

If MOUSE_BTN3 and MOUSE_BTN4 aren't working in your input.conf, try using AXIS_UP and AXIS_DOWN to control scrollwheel.

To get error logs, please add

log-file=log.txt

to your config file.
Then search the log for "dumb" anything or for [e].

Hey guys I need.... well i guess i need some tech help, but if I'm honest more than that I'm just nervous that I might be wasting my money...

I'm looking to get one of these, I've been looking for a micro-pc for mobile media streaming and something to slowly get me mum using things like Skype and Facebook to talk to my family over in South Africa. I've been staring at this little beauty for a few weeks now and, well, is this a good investment or not? It's only a little atom cpu in there but with 8gb ram and 128-m2 ssd its a pretty nifty spec for the money.

Advice would be really appreciated, thanks.
