Nigger its a big difference when its the motherfucking hardware what tries to fuck you in the ass, you literally have no option.
Not everyone has access to a 100% free lemote pc like his and even then let me remind you there are no fully free hard drives, whatever stallman uses for storage is equally unfree as what you'll find in a macbook.

Your phone calls are monitored, Google knows literally single thing about you, you're watched in supermarkets but any time there's any kind of data collection for any kind of software out there, you fucking retards lose your minds.
Seriously, what's wrong with all of you?
I seriously doubt most of you even work in the technology sector or have ever had a job period. I would be willing to bet over 3/4 of the people who come here are literally just underage or NEET losers who sit in a basement all day on some pre-built computer their parents bought them and talk about how great Linux is, how much they know about programming and continuing the botnet data collection meme.
Coming here is fun. It's like going to WalMart at 12 and just taking pride in knowing you'll never be as pathetic as those people.
>>54407650

And anyways, My phone doesn't have google apps so google really doesn't know everything about me

Samsung bricked the 840 via a firmware update that they didn't test. Gave everyone affected a refurbished replacement. ...

I did. We're being "force fed" tracking. That you cannot understand a simple analogy is not surprising.

Why the fuck do you have to update firmwares for a fucking storage device?
>>54408126
to iron out kinks in powersaving, or TRIM, or the other hundreds of possible failures.
ordinary spinning-disks-HDs got firmware-updates, too...
>>54407777
But i know those sick as fuck quads. Checked.
>>54408126
To keep it still fast.
If your SSD/HDD needs updates to stay good it's shit.
prove me wrong
>>54408163
Which in the case for some types of SSD's is probably not necessary anyway, or even outright harmful.
Samsung doesn't have the best track record when it comes to "cheating", and it wouldn't surprise me at all if they were to start leveraging firmware updates that slowly reduce the performance of their older model SSD's in favour of promoting their new hotness.

That's probably more than enough to come to a very accurate guess.
>>54407969
>the only electronic record is just how much I spent at the store, not what I bought.
unless you can show otherwise, I'm certain that's false. From the corporation's pov, they'd be throwing away money by not *at least* using that data for analytics, let alone data mining.
There's also soon to be bluetooth low-energy "beacons" scattered among stores that track your movements, serve up specialized ads, and correlate that with any and all other information known about you.
And it's not the individual stores doing the tracking and analytics, it's intelligence agencies that further repackage and market this data in a centralized matter hereto never seen.

It gives you a DOS-like interface when you boot from the image, you just use your keyboard.
works the same as installing a new operating system pretty much.

the new firmware adds support for win10. if you need this update, you are a windows 10 cuck.
and your opinion is worth less than shit.
>>54424328
I've had the update option on both win 7 and 8.1 ...
>>54407625
EVO was the was the first TLC drive.
What happened was that accessing older data on the drive send the correction algorithms into overdrive, slowing the SSD to a crawl (it has to do with the voltage changes that occur over time in the cell).
Samsung had to release a couple of fixes to restore performance.

Do I need Magician for anything other than firmware updates or looking at the SSD status? Like does the "Maximum Performance" setting do anything "magic" that I can't do normally?

It's not Bluetooth, it's WiFi. Most people have WiFi enabled on their phones. My Meraki APs have had it for 18 months.
So, what the fuck does that firmware upgrade do?

You know I'd never install a firmware update unless I was already having issues.

That's obvious since the OS is blind to the location of the data.

My 840 EVO had the slow sustained write problem. Pulled the drive, reinstalled Linux on it, put it in my sister's computer.
I now have 850 EVO drives with zero issues even though both have a firmware update available, nothing is broken or slow, so why Update? That's like flashing a new BIOS on your motherboard for no other reason other than it being new. It will probably break shit more often than not.
