My 486 ran totally fine on 1.44MB floppy disks as well, what is your point? As I mentioned down thread, you can get 1TB Samsung SSDs right now for $80. Not the best one, still faster than a hard disk. NVMe are a little more expensive than t

HDD have been slow since before Windows 10 was announced. I was converting friends to SSDs during the Windows 7 era. At least on HN I would expect technical-minded people to have some perspective on the speed of storage mediums and how _fas

Why do people still expect modern software to run at incredible speeds on hard disk drives? Run old technology with old software. It is ridiculous that consumer hardware is still being sold with crappy 5400 RPM disks in 2021. No, I have no

A lot of talk about pages, but no mention about how big these pages are. From a quick look on Google, most SSDs have 4kB pages, with some reaching 8kB or even 16kB.

What? I'm saying there's a ton of people opening a lot of tabs, nowhere in my comment I was disparaging towards them. Please don't make assumptions. I'm just saying their use case has been ruined by this update, a use ca

The updated Safari has had a baffling UI update. It does not make any sense at all, on THE most important application that's shipped with the operating system. It's those kind of UI ideas that look great on a mockup, but do not wo

Critical thinking is a muscle. It can get weak and wither away really fast if addictive apps keep you on the dopamine hamster wheel. It doesn't actively make you dumber, you make yourself dumber abusing it, and it's designed spec

Good luck with that. I hated Windows, then Linux, got a Mac, hated that as well, now I'm back and I hate all major operating systems. I'm back on Windows, at least I can run any application I want without Microsoft's approval

Doc had a multi million $ contract with Twitch, while I bet these bathtub streamers don't, so they're cheaper, and get even more money in donation from very lonely viewers.

190cm (6'3) being a threshold for "manliness", as you say, has no bearing on actual human average sizes and might just be your personal bias showing. I think there's definitely a threshold around 6' in English cultu
