We absolutely cannot let the Chinese win this race to eliminate the middle class. /s

Chainsawing bikini girls on the beach is basically how I spent most of middle school

GTA5 - most satisfying driving dynamics. Not realistic at all but still fun to just go for a drive.

Tom’s Hardware usually does longer write tests with iometer to analyze cache size and performance however I think it may only be a 15 minute run. Here’s their review of the 2tb samsung 990

However it’s becoming less of an issue with modern ssd’s that incorporate hybrid caches and faster NAND. As long as the drive has a large enough static cache to absorb most of what you throw at it or fast enough NAND to at least be bearably fast it’s not that big of a deal. You just have to know the NAND’s limitations. Even drives like the crucial p3 are fine as long as you understand eventually writes will slow down to 80MB/s or so.

For secondary storage it’s less important but I would still try to leave some free space on OS drive for fast swap and temp file performance

Get a load of this guy who hasn’t figured out how to turn his fingertips square

Yeah I guess it’s honestly not that bad, just takes time to get used to the feel. a more legitimate gripe would be overall quality and mushiness of the keys on their cheaper options.

The one question I want answered is why Lenovo chooses to make stupid shaped keys.

Man they really glossed over the part where it switched over to twisted pair from coax. It’s like saying pancakes used to be waffles and then not bothering to explain.

It can make backups simpler if you have limited time or storage space on the target drive, otherwise can’t think of much of a reason to these days.

I guess the bigger question you should be asking is “why do I feel like only Apple is held to this standard?” Is it confirmation bias of the media you choose to consume? It it their hardware’s ubiquity, cost and blatant anti-repair approach or a combination of all those factors? Possibly.

There’s countless hardware and software flaws and gripes constantly posted here - more so than anything apple related. Scroll through the sub.

Ja know what? It doesn’t bother me.

Of course it has to be a soldered proprietary cable because a $1 off the shelf edp cable would just be too convenient.
