Like I get capitalism makes us "need" money. But kids, please...get the idea that money has any real** value out of your head.

If you don't believe me, read "Debt" by David Graeber. Shit will blow your mind.

Here y'all go: theanarchistlibrary.org/librar

**Money doesn't have any real value as in it doesn't have a ground basis to be something moral or something worthy of exchange. It obviously has relative value as debt and exchange have become so prominent we've been conditioned to see it as something of value and do shit like moralize it. It's what gives it the strength to purchase goods and services and be desired despite the nuclear level bullshit premise it exists on.

@Gulfie ah, the classic minor vamp, staple of chipfunk since time immemorial

@Xkeeper it will be going into a kind of dusty but otherwise pretty spacious pc tower, so heat shouldn't be too big of an issue

@AshBunny i am a simple bean i see a taur i think wow taurs are good. more taurs is more good. its simple math

it turns out storage devices are a land of endless compromises and tradeoffs in a way that interacts poorly with my desire to get the best possible value for my money whenever i have to spend over a hundred dollars on something

@Hearth im trying to do research on this and people keep saying that the lifetime of an SSD is pretty predictable but they keep phrasing it in terms like "drive writes per day" and "cell write endurance" that seem to require an understanding of how exactly SSDs work in order to turn them into a consumer-usable measure of how long i can expect my $200 piece of hardware to last in practice

@Hearth as someone who doesnt know much about any of this: if a cell has a write endurance in the hundreds, how does that translate to, like, expected time that a drive will last before it fails

@Hearth i mean i'd like it to be on most of the time, but also i am bad at planning things in advance and want to minimize the painfulness of making further changes to the build in the future

@Hearth the other consideration is reliability - my understanding is that an ssd has longer MTBF in general than an hdd, and also i'm moving soon and it would be nice for peace of mind to minimize the risk of accidentally fucking something up while handling my computer down the stairs - i dunno, maybe i'm too worried about such things
