And you needed to inform me of this to try and convince me of something, right? Yeah, It didn't work. You are about as conservative as Hillary Clinton:-) Enjoy your delusion. Sleep Tight!
Look kids! Its a lefty that calls anything that argues with it a Nazi! Then Swears at them... How Original! But hey, Whatever helps you sleep better there bub! (FYI, you can feel the HATE in your reply... Need to Check yourself there Mr. Hateful!:-D )
Every time humans say "Won't" or "Can't"... Regret Follows.
(Automation WILL displace MANY human workers... Does nobody remember the Industrial Revolution? How about the Great Depression?)
This story is just another example of how liberals, and humans in general, and fast forgetting the lessons of history... And basically just making up whatever BS fits their narrative. NEWSFLASH... Its not working anymore. The people have become wise to this and are IGNORING it wholesale. So, Media outlets of the world... REAP WHAT YOU HAVE SOWN!
Windows 10, collect enough info on the average user, that within only 2 hours of use it can produce a reasonably accurate personality profile / dossier, in only that short amount of time.
I like my privacy, i dunno, Private?:-D
Go figure!
Keeping in mind that I have been a tech for 23+ years, I always follow best practices and have both onsite and offsite backups... But that is only for Commercial sites. We do Home users onsite as well. I know about 10 of our customers, out of the 3000+, that actually follow those protocols. As many times as you tell them to backup they never listen. So handing them an SSD is like handing them a Bomb for their precious memories. Or a large data recovery bill after sending the drive out to a chop shop. Having used Crucial and OCZ drives in thousands of deployed systems, I can honestly say that many users, prone to infection that goes unnoticed for many months, are simply not capable of caring for an SSD properly to get the longevity out of it that we nerds can. They allow too much VRAM to be made, too many caching operations, and run 25 TSRs at a time. WE might be able to get that kind of result in an IT controlled environment, but our field work includes business and home users. So we get a full sampling of the failure rate across the board. If I put in an SSD raid or system, it would OF COURSE be backed up both onsite and offsite... but how many users do that? Even today? We live in Florida now in an Older Folks Retirement / vacation area so the issue is magnified here. My Stack of Failed SSDs in the shop, is almost as big as my Mechanical pile these days. Considering mechanicals are still in 80+% of desktops, and that those are still 70% of our business, those are not good numbers by any means. Real world, mechanical wins hands down, for MANY reasons.

With 2 Retail stores, I replace Mac SSD drives EVERY DAY, and I can tell you that while they might get a year or two more than another brand, a Standard HDD will still outlive it by 10+ years on average.
Flash is Billions of tiny on off switches that all rely on a number of factors of physics to remain good and operational. Believe it or not, an HDD is a relatively simple device with about 1/10th of the technology required. Ergo, FAR less can things to go wrong... Typically you get 2 fails... Voltage Regulator, or Bearing... Both easy to fix with simple hand tools. The same cannot be said for a failed SSD. Unless you have an IO lab in your garage, and the electrical engineering knowledge to operate it, you are kinda screwed. HDD will continue to outlast the SSDs for a number of years, and remain the more reliable choice.
Now in a few years when the self healing versions come to market things may change, but that real world testing remains to be seen as well.
I have used the full spectrum, being a commercial field service technician for over 23 years now. I have worked for Everyone from Dell to HP, to The Attorney Generals Office for the State of IL, and many others. As well as having an Extensive Field Service Career, I have personally deployed over 2000 systems that were built with Crucial and OCZ, and still had early fails on 25+ % of the drives vs a similar deployment with HDDs.
You can spend TONS of money, and get stable drives that MIGHT last as long as a HDD mirror, But I'd put my money on the HDDs for longevity, and ability to recover data AFTER a failure of a drive, any day of the week. When an SSD fails, unless you have an electronics and IO lab in your house, yer screwed.
I can fix most HDD failures with a few minutes in the Freezer or simple software tools. Say 85+%... I have only ever managed to recover 2 failed SSDs since we started seeing them installed in systems.
And that Includes Mac.
I have easily worked in close to 100,000 systems since my career began 23.5 years ago. Unless you are speaking from that kind of field experience, rather than just your own systems as a sampling for a test case, you are not going to have the same results across that large of a base of systems. There is far more room for error manufacturing an SSD than a mechanical HDD.
As a Technician in the field for over 20 years now, I can say this from experience...
Even with as far as they have come, I STILL wouldn't trust an SSD with an O/S on it, to store so much as my cooking recipes... Too much caching going on.
Data loss without RAID on an SSD is simply a matter of time. An HDD, even failed, has a FAR higher likelihood of data recovery, in EVERY scenario I have encountered in my career. Fast Yes. Reliable, No. I can get a raided set of HDD to go 10+ years... I can get a raided set of SDDs to go about 3. As far as bang for the buck and hours of overall operation, I'll stick with my Red Badge SATA HDDs in RAID, thank you.
Watching you all fight over which corrupt goon we should hire, has been both the most entertaining, and the most dismal thing I have EVER experienced in this life.
Dealerships are a tool to "Limit Competition" and options. Not something you should have in a free and open society... Its the same thing as having to have a million dollar badge on your taxi to drive a cab in NY... That kind of forced employment and entrepreneur limitations, basically forcibly binding those cab drivers to a corporate "Master", is NOT what America is all about. That kind of Market limiting should be made a felony crime. Its an Anti-Competitive practice, that includes a touch of malice towards we the people, with a dash of price gouging and fraud.... Aka, Crimes
That ALL sitting members of the US Supreme court, are in fact traitors to this nation...
They just violated "Shall not be infringed" pretty directly.
Knowingly.
Aka... Treason.
Censorship is running wild across the Earth...
Those participating in it, are PC Control Freak, ANTI-Freedom, NAZIS!
If your "Poor Wittle Feewings" get hurt by some stuff some jacka$$ typed on the internet about you, and want to/wrists... DO IT!
Don't Hesitate!:-D
F-u-c-k Censorship!
This story was CONFIRMED fake as FUK!
Its a YEARS old compromise, that wasn't even bad when it happened... YEARS AGO!
LMMFAO!
I dunno who is editor at Slashdot these past few months, but this place is turning into a liberal fukboy hangout...
The news quality is FALLING OFF FAST HERE...
Slashdot Mirror
This from the guy who has been doing nothing but swearing and insulting for 3 posts... You need a mirror I think... :-P
Attack attack attack... You aren't very good at this are you lib?
Right here in this Propaganda! Oh... Wait.... No. Nevermind. Its actually not... Nice try though! :-P
And you needed to inform me of this to try and convince me of something, right? Yeah, It didn't work. You are about as conservative as Hillary Clinton :-) Enjoy your delusion. Sleep Tight!
Look kids! Its a lefty that calls anything that argues with it a Nazi! Then Swears at them... How Original! But hey, Whatever helps you sleep better there bub! (FYI, you can feel the HATE in your reply... Need to Check yourself there Mr. Hateful! :-D )
Whatever helps you sleep better lib :-)
Naaaaaaaaa.... The left has NONE OF THAT! :-D (Long live the ANTI-LEFT!)
