The whole “hating my wife” thing has been around for a really long time. I hope my generations tiresome jokes aren’t just based on shitting on people like so many boomer jokes seem to be.
Wonder what my generation’s shitty joke legacy will be.
Hard drives are going to be one of those in between things that Gen x/millennials will understand, but were already obsolete by the time Gen z rolled around.
But, my dearest Drag, you miss the point! There will be generations of humans that have no experience of spinning rust, of whirring platters, or of the dreaded tick- tick- tick- of a crashed head and lost data. What will they do?
Magnetic recording materials have historically been metal oxides, I have no clue if that remains true for modern hard drive platters. I guess you could argue that SSDs are stationary sand, but you could make the same argumant for the majority of semiconductors so I don’t think it sufficiently specifies SSDs.
Well, people like to say "check their hard drives" when referring to pedos, so the word itself isn't lost yet. But there might be some other Gen Z's who don't actually know what that is considering we were raised with Chromebooks...
I've had a pretty bad and long relationship at one point in my life, I'm not exactly a young man anymore, and I still don't understand why the fuck anyone would think this shit is even remotely funny.
The guy is not wrong. I have dozens of HDDs but he's talking about an actual hard drive. I also have a wife, 3 1/2 kids and my dog just died. I've seen some shit.
Ooh yeah that part going down Eastward past Vail is a hell of a nightmare drive. That road needs to be repaved every year with their rough Winters, even still the ruts in the road will keep trying to throw you into the next lane, while you're trying so hard to stay in your own lane, and the ruts in the road sound like you burst a tire. It's two hours of white knuckle driving.
It was Montana westward past Yellowstone. I spent my life in the loving embrace of just west of the Appalachians and so I thought that since I've done my share of driving through Kentucky it would be bad but bearable. Then it started snowing at waist height in late spring. I wasn't prepared for that.

hard drives are still relevant for bulk storage
IrateAnteater@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 318d
True, but most consumers aren't doing bulk storage. Most people just have cell phone and laptop

I’m confused, I call both HDDs and SSDs hard drives or disks. What’s the non-obsolete term?
Fish@midwest.social · 10 pts · 318d
HDD is hard disk drive. SSD is solid-state drive. Though I still use the term "hard drive" to refer to both of them.
undefined@lemmy.hogru.ch · 4 pts · 318d
I know what the acronyms mean. But I refer to them both as hard drive.
Axolotl_cpp@feddit.it · 2 pts · 318d
HDD mean Hard drive, SSD mean Solid State Drive;
The joke is about HDD not being used which is wrong

Drag thinks solid state drives are drives and they're hard.

Probably invent new kinds of sex we can't even imagine

How are hard drives "spinning rust"? Are solid state drives "stationary sand"?

Hi I'm technically a Zoomer, I grew up with HDDs, hybrids and 32Gb SSDs. I'm just about 30 :)

"Hard drive" is funny I guess because it can be interpreted two different ways.

I can confirm. Not even loved ones make that drive easy. The Rockies are hard to drive over. Fucking beautiful, but scary
LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 317d
Ooh yeah that part going down Eastward past Vail is a hell of a nightmare drive. That road needs to be repaved every year with their rough Winters, even still the ruts in the road will keep trying to throw you into the next lane, while you're trying so hard to stay in your own lane, and the ruts in the road sound like you burst a tire. It's two hours of white knuckle driving.

It was Montana westward past Yellowstone. I spent my life in the loving embrace of just west of the Appalachians and so I thought that since I've done my share of driving through Kentucky it would be bad but bearable. Then it started snowing at waist height in late spring. I wasn't prepared for that.

The Rockies are the best part. Fuck fucking Nebraska though.

Those passes are an affront to the gods. Man was never meant to traverse them in a pleather seat with climate control.

You gotta use the roads, it makes it a little bit easier
