SSDs made computers more boring I miss when they would make sounds when they were thinking really hard
@julia spinning up disc drives again, bring back physical media
@julia i still do awa,

- carrie
@julia all you have to do is listen to me thinking really hard and the noises come back
@julia used server HDDs are still the cheapest per GB storage, hybrid storage machines are fun~
@julia we have a tool for that, it's called a fan
@julia then they invented laptop fans as a replacement: the harder the computer computes, the more you feel like you're in a fighter jet ​
@julia also, coil whine ​
@julia this is why I still have an ssd in my thinkpad
@julia that is one downside to my new cluster, no bliken lights for the drives ​
@julia Thankfully my GPU has coilwhine, so I get that without having HDDs
@julia and that's why this one will put in HDD in her thinkpad eventually. Eventually. (Desktop already makes cute noises, so yay :3. Just.. ened thinkpad too.. awawa)
@julia putting speakers inside the chassis and making them play noises the same way they do with ferraris to make cool engine noises
@autumn does that count as gender affirming care
