Apologies for being slightly off-topic, but presenting a table of text as a image is annoying to me. A table of text ought to be rendered in just plain old html in my old-school opinion.
- qwertox 6y agoI agree. I was reading the Q3 2020 stats yesterday because I'm looking for a new drive. It was somewhat annoying to have to type the HDD-model into the Google search bar instead of just double-clicking and selecting search from the context menu. It irritated me that it was an image.
- andy4blaze 6y agoAndy from Backblaze here. Actually you can download a spreadsheet with all the data from the tables. There's a link at the end of the post. Better than parsing HTML for the data.
- JxLS-cpgbe0 6y agoThe spreadsheets are identical to the screenshots you took of them. The images aren't responsive, aren't available to assistive technologies, provide no text alternative, do not respect a user's text settings, cannot be translated etc. Why is that better than HTML?
