Hello! Just wanted to report that I have successfully compiled the latest 2.53.18 beta 1 pre with python 3.11.3, clang 15.0.7, and rust 1.70.0 on Arch Linux. Many thanks for your hard work regarding the python 3 compatibility!

teruna great. The current 2.53.18 level is 99.9% the upcoming beta so you should have no problems with this too.

addlink.com.tw/ssd-s20 I'm shopping for a SSD, but it seems there now are SSDs that require Google Chrome

(CustomElements consumer because why yes, we now need those to sell noname SSDs)

...WTF, these people use Wix

tomman if sata go with the Ultra 3D, WD Blue or 870 EVO. Crucial played with the ram cache lately a bit too much so I no longer recommend the MX500

frg_Away: sadly I'm a _tight_ budget

and when I say _tight_ I mean "tighter than me wearing size 32 jeans" :D

also buying in Venezuela means everything costs 2X :/

Anyway, I'm between the PNY CS900, the Teamgroup Vulcan Z, and POSSIBLY that Addlink S20

the first two are DRAMless, but the Vulcan Z has a marginally better controller and more SLC cache, while the CS900 has the infamous Phison S10 controller

as for the Addlink... I can't even find LEGIT reviews on it, but it has DRAM... oh wait, there is the S20M which also plays the DRAM games :P

At least here prices came so much down than it does not matter. If the SSD does not have a good cachae you are in some cases better off with a standard HDD. And if QLC you are better off :)

--Phison s11

even a 12 year old rust spinner?

this 750GB Hitachi didn't won any contests even back when it was new

anyway, those are $30 SSDs being sold here as $60 if you carefully look online, or $100+ if you wanna get ripped off at Honest Ahmed's Appliances And Computerizers

tomman all depends on your usage and the firmware. There are some crappy ssds out in the wild.

the S11 woes were exactly due to terribad firmware

but from what I've read, all those reports are from 2019 at newest

tomman they are all playing the nvdm game lately. Not much new in sata land.

my usage patterns are basically: normal web browsing, very light gaming, from time to time compile something from source or toy with a VM

also, this laptop is always on 24/7 (sans blackouts)

wish I could afford NVMe-capable hardware

tomman make sure you get at least TLC. The no names have terrible to non existent specs.

those two I mentioned thankfully have TLC

SUPPOSEDLY the Addlink is Kioxia TLC + has DRAM

but as you can see, their website not only is content-free, it also relies on Chromeisms for its content-free content :D

the BX500 was a contender for 5 minutes until I learned it's all QLC, and benchmarks are absolute bottom-of-the-barrel (and it's not cheap anyway)

tomman desktop is a $20 card here. Price is even cheaper than SATA for the 970 EVO Plus lately. It is GPT so not as a boot drive here. Legacy boot only for me. VM perfoamcne is not much different form the SATA drives when I compile.

BX500 is garbage. Got a few MX500 and the were fine but seems they changed the configuration with the latest batches and cut the dram by 75%.

Oh, to make things more confusing: the Addlink S20 is a Phison S10 + DRAM, but you will not find reviews for it (except a few listings as a "Mid-tier" drive from some random forums including LTT). But Addlink also has released the S20M, built over a crappier Maxiotek DRAMless controller!

...disqualified then
