Most of these observations are subjective. I've had some Seagate drives that worked well but were very hot and wasted energy. On the other hand WD was crap so far, starting with 3 TB. Not because of quality, but because of power saving features that were a major annoyance to me (green and some blue drives). Red drives I had were mostly fine, even they wore out pretty quickly (Load_Cycle_Count bugs). They ran at 0% health left for a few years and had other awful SMART and on-drive controller bugs.

Since Seagate and WD are essentially the same company and they lied about SMR before, I wouldn't buy either of them.

I've seen someone using Adobe Acrobat just for splitting PDF documents.

If Trump is elected, the USA would also be demolished, but you should not give up the entire country.

Even kids know how to enter fake data.

Isn't it a regression? I cannot upgrade Debian unstable, either, at the moment. Last time when LLVM had a major upgrade, it took weeks until it was fixed.

In 2020 there have been around 3000 data centers in Germany. Sounds more plausible to me.

Germany only 521? Seems a bit low.

What counts as a "data center"? How many rooms and how many racks does it need to have?

To be honest, this is the most disappointing and depressing line.

So you change your towels every time? Otherwise when you start again, the last time you used it, you wiped your butt with it.

I don't like the term "clever" in code, because sometimes it means "I'm too dumb to understand it". Simply don't touch clever code, unless you really understand it.

Best example is the fast inverse square root function in Quake. Yeah.. it's clever, but replace it by simple maths and let Quake have performance problems.

On the other hand, using AI for more than assisted coding is never clever. Some day some fuck will use it in medicine and will actually kill people. AI is not at fault here! It's the programmer who killed a patient in this case by being irresponsible and lazy.

Devs care to debug code only if they believe in its quality. Otherwise they write the code again from scratch. This is also cheaper than debugging.

AI code is not clever. It's all developers averaged. Even if it worked properly, you'd get average quality code.

It's rather lazy and cheap. This is where the quality is lacking.
