Wow that’s crazy!

Sure, but optimally you shouldn’t feel fear and terror by any thoughts.

There is nothing wrong with not wanting sex but feeling fear and terror surely can’t be good.

You should probably go to therapy. That doesn’t sound healthy.

I heard beach sand is pretty good for concrete. Apparently there is something called sand mafias in (iirc) India which basically steals sand from beaches and sells it.

Why are you starting a new thread. Join the existing or something instead. This has been addressed.

Of course I know what HDD means. I work in IT. I just shorted it because it’s easier to understand, write, and say. I have already proved multiple times with multiple dictionaries that “Hard drive” is the same as “Hard disk drive”.

Either way it doesn’t matter, the point was that you shouldn’t call SSDs HDDs.

Yeah I searched for the definitions not some blog posts bruh. Are those the original definitions you were talking about?

Of course “Hard drive” can refer to other things. It’s just incorrect in the same way refering to a SSD as a HDD is wrong. Wikipedia is just helpful.

you started this just because I said that calling an SSD a hard drive isnt wrong, which it isnt, but calling if HDD is because that implies a disk, thats all.

Yeah, because you are wrong mate. Just teach people the corrent terms instead. It isn’t hard. It’s literally 3 letters. People use the wrong terms all the time and that’s obviusly fine when you were a kid, but don’t spread it into the modern age.

Why are you just repeating what I said? Of course the definition of hard disk drives (and thus hard drives) predats SSDs. That’s why SSDs aren’t referred to as hard drives. Hard disk drives are called that because their disks are hard.

Please show me your “original definition” because I don’t come to the same conclusion.

“Hard drive” is just a quicker and easier way to say “hard disk drive”. I honestly don’t think I have ever heard someone actually say “hard disk drive” everyone shortens it to “hard drive”. “Hard drive” = “hard disk drive” “Hard drive” != Any non soft storage media.

You could call SSDs, “solid drives” if you like, but they for sure aren’t hard drives even if people often confuse the two.

Also I’m just curious, do you call CDs or vinyls hard disks? I mean they store data and they are technically hard disks (or discs, whichever spelling you prefer).

Merriam webster defines it in the same way and according to them that was how it was defined in 1982 when the word first came into use: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/hard drive#h1

a data-storage device consisting of a drive and one or more hard disks

The only definition I could find where hard drive means anything else is from the Cambridge dictionary “learners dictionary” https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/learner-english/hard-drive

the part inside a computer that is not removed and stores very large amounts of information

Their normal dictionary has the same definition as everybody else: https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/hard-drive

a part of a computer that reads information on a hard disk, or a separate device that can be connected to a computer in order to do this

Depends on what happens to the company. Maybe he has children that can inherit his company shares and maybe they don’t want it to change.

Maybe they set up a trust or something that can take ownership.

I really hope valve never gets sold.

Nah, just call an SSD an SSD (or solid-state drive if you got lots of time and like being overly verbose) or just storage device or similar synonym.

A hard disk drive is called that because it contains hard disks as opposed to earlier storage mediums which often had soft (or floppy) disks. Hard drive is just a shorter and easier way to say hard disk drive.

Hard doesn’t refer to the fact that the outer shell is hard, because of course it is.

So since SSDs don’t contain any disks, it doesn’t make a lot of sense to call them hard when they are in fact nonexistent.

The amount of data is also increasing constantly and by a lot.

FYI: HDD is short for hard drive. So calling an SSD a hard drive doesn’t make a lot of sense since they are by definition different things.

DLNA is pretty janky compared to a real app though.

Are jellyfin apps available on most devices yet?

It’s a tradition.

10 was way way better than 8 though.

Here, pretty much everyone gets paid monthly. Most often on the 25th or slightly earlier if the 25th is on a weekend. Most bills are as far as I know paid a few days after the 25th or at the end of the month.

I like the the manufacturer is listed as unknown when the picture shows it’s obviously made by Texas instruments. There are not a lot of companies with a logo of Texas that makes ICs.

Eh what now?

I have to restart explorer.exe a few times a year but not more than that.

That’s nice.

No, AND won’t match 0,0 while XNOR will. An AND switch would be useless for a staircase.

AND also won’t match 1,0 or 0,1 while XOR does.
