I have a box of assorted 1GB and 4GB USB drives.

Funny how stuff you’ve had for years just feels “normal” even when it’s highly unusual.

You do know they have limited write cycles, right?

If you ever reach that limit, well done. You got a hell of value out of that device.

I have SSDs that are in use 24/7, writing up to 200GB per day and in constant use for 3 years. 99% drive health.

A “Showerthought” is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you’re doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

Rules

All posts must be showerthoughts
The entire showerthought must be in the title
No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as “capitalism” and “communism”. If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
Posts must be original/unique
Adhere to Lemmy’s Code of Conduct and the TOS
