What does the S in VS Studio stand for?
ATM Machine
PIN number
You kids have “serial” ATA? Ohhhh, watch this. Imma shoot these bits down this set of wires. Simultaneously.
I sure don’t miss having to move the stupid jumpers for master/slave drives and then losing one of the bastards and having to try and jam a paperclip alongside the pins with some scotch tape to insulate it. Cable select was always a lie.
Don’t forget SCSI termination. There was always some extra piece of junk you needed to make it all work. No wonder we all have “the box” in the basement/attic with all the extra cables squirreled away.
Now you take a tiny board a little bigger than a stick of gum, and press it onto the motherboard. Smaller footprint than a DIMM, mind-blowing amounts of solid-state storage. Drives? Naw, we just have chips where the "1"s stick around after you turn it off.
Wow, I had forgotten doing this. Amazing. I remember seeing m.2 drives probably 5 years after they came out and going wtf is this thing. I’ll be dead soon jim
I excitedly told my girlfriend who’s big into PC overclocking that my SSD does 500mb/s. Hers is one of these newfangled M.2. NVMe drives does 5000mb/s. She also asked me if a mechanical hard drive does around 500mb/s too… I’m like 25 and right there with ya.
IDE was fine.
Molex, however, can go fuck itself to eternity.
I swear the manufacturing tolerances for molex were “fuck it, looks about right” based on some connectors I had to use.
So this is the gay agenda
I thought they were all SATA-nists, but NVMe.
Stay in your grave, IDE!
NO.
SATA(N) IS BANISHED FROM THIS HOUSE
Edit: wait actually this is dumb. Isn’t every single modern drive IDE, as in they have their controller onboard? The 40 pin connector is PATA
IIRC Apple drives, like those in the Mac Studio, use a version of NVMe that doesn’t have the controller onboard which is why they were so hard to reverse engineer.
That’s “Bare” NVMe, the linux kernel supports such devices but I really fail to see the fucking point™
Apple of course probably did so to fuck the consumer
What’s that suposed to be? Seems like I have another meaning for “IDE”
I’m too young for this 👀
Watch out, gen Z is here!
Here is some reading: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directory_(computing)
How is this related?
It’s a joke based on the Verge article from last year(?) that said Zoomers don’t know what files and folders on a computer are.

I guess I’m very out of the loop!
Fortunately I know that a folder is an envelope that contains multiple papers, and files mean papers that refer to something specific. And all of these can be put on top of your computer, which most people do because the big computer box is flat and good for storing things on it.
I mean seriously, people don’t know this?
