Why not both?
Was this before actual hard disk drives became popular?
Real answer: yes, but also no. Depends on context.
Professionally, proper hard-disks go back before 8" floppies, let alone the 5.25" and their stiffer 3.5" counterparts. But those drives were comically oversized appliances (like rack-mount and even mini-fridge sized) compared to the stuff we have now.
For home-gamers, PCS have shipped with all three floppy formats shown above, at different times. Hard Drives start showing up for IBM PCs after they miniaturize to fit in the 5.25" drive bay form-factor. But all that's just before the invention of the 3.5" floppy, and well ahead of it's popularity as something that comes standard.
I was thinking the same thing. It should have at least morphed into an SD card by now.
My first thought was: "Boy, are christians gonna be pissed when they see this christian acting like a christian."
Edit: No. Bad autocorrect, bad! That stays lowercase until they behave.
¹Yes I did that
... and I hope you learned your lesson. :p
But we do have a QA department. I'll leave it to the reader to decide if that's humane or not.
Exactly. Once you know about "white box" goods and the robust Chinese manufacturing chains that support it, you can't unsee it.
What blows my mind is that Amazon is just accelerating this, and at times, embracing it with their own brand. They've gone from being a whole-ass shopping mall to end-of-days-K-Mart in just a few years.
"A therapy" of goths, then?
Fack.
I want off Mr. Bones' Wild Ride already.
Honestly, a Japanese-style capsule hotel and net cafe would probably do very well in a university environment.
Granted, that's still charging people for homelessness, which doesn't help any of the underlying problems. It's just slightly less dystopian since it's cheap.

I just learned that the Time Cube is no more.
(lemmy.world)
Some of you may remember this absolute diamond of insanity that was the "4-Day Time Cube." This was the go-to example of the internet as a universal amplifier for communication - for both the sane and insane alilke. It was there from nearly the start of the world-wide web, back in the 1990's. Alas, it ceased to be some time ago, but it still lives on in our hearts.
For the uninitiated: welcome. Read and join the rest of us that are "educated stupid."

I completely missed that this exchange is a Spaceballs reference, and now I'm kinda mad at myself.
