hard disk drives do still exist, and are useful for some stuff. mostly they’re cheaper. I think better for stuff you write to often?

SSD’s can overheat. but, again, there are usually sensors to throttle them when you’re in danger of this, and this idiot probably disabled those. because safety is for cucks i guess.

it is a thing, but any competently designed computer should have things in place to prevent this.

unless you’re an arrogant dipshit and disable all the hardware safeties on your computer to make it go faster and wear harder.

yes but this is cheaper, I guess. why should they care about the environment?

everything is miserable to access nowadays. this particular technology should never have been developed in the first place.

but here we are.

I’m convinced a lot of them are being paid.

a not insubstantial amount of the world’s resources are going to this shit. most of the cutting edge chip making capacity for the past few years has been for increasingly specialized parts for running these fucking things. plus the intellectual resources to design them.

and the electrical+water resources to run them are staggering-some places are having brownouts, or cannot build more very necessary houses, because the water is being used up to cool these things and then thrown away after.

there is no real mass use case yet. it’s not genuinely good for anything. but it’s part of a large scale grift to discipline labor. the social reaction if it fails will be a massive resurgance in the political power of labor, and a collapse of trillions of dollars of fictionalized wealth concentrated mostly in the wealthiest hands.

in a very real way, this is a fight for the soul of the world. for what the future could possibly be. for who gets to be in charge.

yes, one side is built entirely on lies. they always have been. they always will be, until we strangle the last one of those fuckers with some other poor dumbfuck’s entrails. that just means their dominance, in such a high stakes era, with so many looming challenges, is likely to mean the end of all life on earth.

so they’re paying a lot of people to push this shit. to push this shit everywhere.

so rephrase without ‘balancing’
