If it's not compatible with just any SSD (of the right form factor) it's only a small step. Still surprised to see it, but they really have a long way to go.

That sounds a lot more like "automatic negative thoughts". I don't think it's considered a form of psychosis, even if arguably it's sort of similar (you're hearing a voice that isn't there telling you thin

Is this a real thing that happened? It's framed as a young child making a lot of misconceptions, you'd have to be pretty darn sensitive to get offended by that.
