Guidelines:
What to Submit
On-Topic: Anything that good slackers would find interesting. That includes more than /g/ memes and slacking off. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual laziness.
Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably lame.
Help keep this hole healthy by keeping drama and non-drama balanced. If you see too much drama, post something that isn't dramatic. If there isn't enough drama and this hole has become too boring, POST DRAMA!
In Submissions
Please do things to make titles stand out, like using uppercase or exclamation points, or saying how great an article is. It should be explicit in submitting something that you think it's important.
Please don't submit the original source. If the article is behind a paywall, just post the text. If a video is behind a paywall, post a magnet link. Fuck journos.
Please don't ruin the hole with chudposts. It isn't funny and doesn't belong here. THEY WILL BE MOVED TO /H/CHUDRAMA
If the title includes the name of the site, please leave that in, because our users are too stupid to know the difference between a url and a search query.
If you submit a video or pdf, please don't warn us by appending [video] or [pdf] to the title. That would be r-slurred. We're not using text-based browsers. We know what videos and pdfs are.
Make sure the title contains a gratuitous number or number + adjective. Good clickbait titles are like "Top 10 Ways to do X" or "Don't do these 4 things if you want X"
Otherwise editorialize. Please don't use the original title, unless it is gay or r-slurred, or you're shits all fucked up.
If you're going to post old news (at least 1 year old), please flair it so we can mock you for living under a rock, or don't and we'll mock you anyway.
Please don't post on SN to ask or tell us something. Send it to [email protected] instead.
If your post doesn't get enough traction, try to delete and repost it.
Please don't use SN primarily for promotion. It's ok to post your own stuff occasionally, but the primary use of the site should be for curiosity. If you want to astroturf or advertise, post on news.ycombinator.com instead.
Please solicit upvotes, comments, and submissions. Users are stupid and need to reminded to vote and interact. Thanks for the gold, kind stranger, upvotes to the left.
In Comments
Be snarky. Don't be kind. Have fun banter; don't be a dork. Please don't use big words like "fulminate". Please sneed at the rest of the community.
Comments should get more enlightened and centrist, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.
If disagreeing, please reply to the argument and call them names. "1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be improved to "1 + 1 is 3, not 2, mathfaggot"
Please respond to the weakest plausible strawman of what someone says, not a stronger one that's harder to make fun of. Assume that they are bad faith actors.
Eschew jailbait. Paedophiles will be thrown in a wood chipper, as pertained by sitewide rules.
Please post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. All press is good press.
Please use Slacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples weak ideologies.
Please comment on whether someone read an article. If you don't read the article, you are a cute twink.
Please pick the most provocative thing in an article or post to complain about in the thread. Don't nitpick stupid crap.
Please don't be an unfunny chud. Nobody cares about your opinion of X Unrelated Topic in Y Unrelated Thread. If you're the type of loser that belongs on /h/chudrama, we may exile you.
Sockpuppet accounts are encouraged, but please don't farm dramakarma.
Please use uppercase for emphasis.
Please post deranged conspiracy theories about astroturfing, shilling, bots, brigading, foreign agents and the like. It degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about abuse, email [email protected] and dang will add you to their spam list.
Please don't complain that a submission is inappropriate. If a story is spam or off-topic, report it and our moderators will probably do nothing about it. Feed egregious comments by replying instead of flagging them like a pussy. Remember: If you flag, you're a cute twink.
Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—things like article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. That's too boring, even for HN users.
Please seethe about how your posts don't get enough upvotes.
Please don't post comments saying that rdrama is turning into ruqqus. It's a nazi dogwhistle, as old as the hills.
Miscellaneous:
We reserve the right to exile you for whatever reason we want, even for no reason at all! We also reserve the right to change the guidelines at any time, so be sure to real them at least once a month. We also reserve the right to ignore enforcement of the guidelines at the discretion of the janitorial staff. Be funny, or at least compelling, and pretty much anything legal is welcome provided it's on-topic, and even then.
Do not use outdated operating systems that are unsupported to access SN. What are you, poor?

Bruv you can’t play PS5 games externally regardless.
That USB-C is not Thunderbolt it’s SuperSpeed USB, that’s still only 10Gb/s, PCIe (NVMe) bottlenecks roughly around 64Gb/s (note the small b for Bits not Bytes).

You can play on any gen4 ssd no matter its speed. I can bet 100 buxs when ps5 games will be bootable on jailbroken ps5 you’ll easily be able to play ps5 games on regular 500mbs ssd and the difference will be minimal compared to 5000mbs ssd.
Same shit already happened with ps3 where it has USB2.0 and the hdd is faster than USB but on jailbroken ps3 you barely will notice differences.

I don’t think you understand the concept of consoles.
They state: “Hey this the exact specification of our console, target this and you’ll always get X performance”.
Because they plan to last nearly a decade they will _overspec_ the console at launch, often to the point of losing money per unit, but then as the economy of scale works the components become cheaper and they eventually turn a profit. Overspeccing the console also helps that increased life time.
Is a slow PCIe 3.0 drive good enough for a simple game? Yes. Will it be good enough for a AAA game in 2027? No, that’s why they made the baseline high _now_.

That’s not how modern consoles are sadly.
Ff16 already owning ps5’s, in graphical mode and that’s like 1440p and performance mode is sub 1080 and often 720p.
This gen was supposedly 4k gen and 60 fps and there are barely any native 4k games. And MS created a next gen console on par with xbox one x.
A ssd won’t improve performance in games, it’s just the new power of cloud thing

If game devs can’t make good games with the specs of current gen consoles that just reflects poorly on the devs. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with the current specifications of consoles, besides the selling 4K native rendering when it’s mostly creative upscaling.
Is your opinion honestly that SONY gaslighted g*mers into wanting SSDs and not sticking it out with HDDs for another decade-ish?

Sony was unreal hyping that ssd like they told its controller is so magical that ps5 games will weight less than ps4 games so it’s tiny 600gb ssd size won’t be a problem. Horizon 2 on ps4 is 40gb and on ps5 120gb. It would reduce the need to duplicate assets. Sony was also promoting it also like it will almost replace ram. Then did a whole show with “unlocking” ssd port: https://www.engadget.com/sony-ps-5-ssd-storage-expansion-firmware-update-ps4-remote-play-135032853.html
They told ratchet and clank is only possible on ps5 because supper ssd when in reality the game was developed for ps4 and only on late stage switched to being ps5 exlusive that can run now on hdd on pc.
Today Sony barely mention that magical ssd.
Also games won’t look better no matter what hardware you give devs, modern devs will stop at good enough, optimization don’t exist anymore

I’m not sure what the alternative was?
Let the consoles be stuck on HDDs for a decade which is clearly awful, or use SATA SSDs which was bottlenecking flash ages ago? You don’t even pay a price premium for NVMe anymore.
I don’t think it’s nonsensical to overprovision console hardware in this way when it’s clear they will last 7+ years.

Let people instal sp games on external ssd.

if they had included a Thunderbolt 4 port I’d see some argument as it’s more in line with NVMe speeds (it’s also PCIe at its core) however they are still somewhat cost optimized and a Thunderbolt controller isn’t exactly a cheap addition.
