@blakeyrat SALAD TWO: SUNDAY LUNCH
Remembered to add feta this time, which makes it much better. I included too much tomatos in my salad toppings bag, but I like tomatos so I'm not too worried. Chicken is just as good chilled as warm.

Yeah, promise "infinite storage" and then six months later slam the actual costs down their throats. That's how you generate loyalty! (looking at you, Microsoft)

Can we not post imgur links with the extension? The onebox plugin let's me see them properly, but with the extension I can't see it except the first frame (because onebox is consistent like that).

Chrome on Android.

@Dreikin Why do you put effort into your meals, but then eat them out of paper picnic bowls?
- I'm the only one eating it, so no-one to impress,
- Paper bowl vs. ceramic bowl doesn't change the taste, and
- Less dishes to do afterward, which was really important last night.

@blakeyrat said in The Official Status Thread:
Of course the real test is how good the one I eat 5-6 days from now will taste.
Don't store them with salad dressing on them, and they'll be fine.
Though if you put tomatoes in the refrigerator, they're already fucked. Edible, but bland.

Don't tell me you have no way to order a salad delivered. Every delivery shop in my crappy city has at least a few options.
Buying a salad is at least $5+. If you're getting it delivered, prolly paying $10 for it.
OR you can buy a head of lettuce for $0.88, a tomato for $0.10, and a couple chicken breasts for ~$2, may $1 worth of feta-- negligible cost for oil and vinegar... and for ~$4, you have an entire week's worth of food.
You suck at money.
-
@Tsaukpaetra Yep, I've had lots of problems with imgur videos on Chrome.
As a matter of fact, my Nexus 10 never managed to play any of them ever. I had to long-press and download them, or watch them as .gif (which are often 50MB files, so they take a bit longer to load).

Don't think so. The drives all show up in the POST stuff.
If I set up the settings one way, Windows will boot. If I change them to anything else, it BSODs and I can't read the error because it reboots after a second.
I didn't change anything before this - it was on the mode that causes a BSOD before, and it worked fine.

Wait, are you switching between AHCI mode and (whatever the older mode is)? IIRC that's a no-no unless you uninstalled the storage drivers back to the basic versions before the switch, and there are a few gotchas in between anyway...

Was that after trying Last known good conf?
I'd stick a disk of Parted Magic in there and check the Disk Health tool first and then run ntfsfix and see if it thinks everything is OK. Assuming the hardware is good then you can start beating windows over the head in the recovery console:
bootrec.exe /fixmbr
bootsect.exe /nt60 all /force
bootrec.exe /rebuildbcdIf the disks don't show up in Parted Magic then have a look with 'dmesg | less' to see if there are any disk-related problems shown. If it says anything about 'unrecoverable read error' then start to panic.
That's my usual 'wtf is going on with this disk?' workflow. As @Tsaukpaetra said you need to be in the correct disk mode first though.

I don't think so, Google doesn't show those drives doing anything weird compatibility wise.
That's great it works on a USB adaptor.
MostMore likely to be computer hardware then and not the drive. Does that server have a hardware RAID card?If so then try it directly on the motherboard's SATA ports. If it doesn't then try moving to another SATA port anyway, if the motherboard has multiple SATA chipsets then pick another slot that's on a different chipset.
Edit: You could also try resetting the BIOS ('load safe defaults' or something like that) or removing the CMOS battery for a minute and then replacing it while the power is off. I've had a BIOS wobble cause bizarre behaviour that a reset fixed.

Web developers pretend that it's OK to have the important content load first and then the large stuff later
If only tags for large content like images or videos came with attributes that could specify the height of the image, so the browser could reserve space for said content, and not bounce the viewport up and down while it's loading! It's hard to believe that in 2016 there's not such a thing.

Awesome, make sure to 'chkdsk /f' those drives in case the RAID card dying managed to corrupt anything. A 'DISM /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth' wouldn't be a bad idea either (if it's a Domain Controller then a DCDIAG too, etc...).
