Honestly......spinning disks are good for anything. Yeah I don't have any in my gaming rig but my NAS is only spinners. Cheap and fast enough.
It all comes down to how much money you have. If you can only afford spinning disks, then get them - and enjoy your gaming. If you can afford faster drives then great, good for you!
Yeah but you must recognise that's a luxury. There's no going back because your circumstances allow it. If someone needs more storage but they can't afford an SSD then there is going back - and I for one would choose loading screens over no screens.
There's way too much snobbery around PCs imo. I want to encourage the world to be more compromising so that there is no societal pressure to buy this year's gfx card for £1700 and this year's CPU for £700 and this year's newest nvme for £300 etc...etc...buy what you can and want to afford.
There were a number of exciting announcements from Apple at WWDC 2024, from macOS Sequoia to Apple Intelligence.

Because that was what the article was about....I actually am a Linux user and fan, folks just misreading the intentions of my post.
I would genuinely love to see it, because I'm stuck on mac hardware to do my job and I really hope one day they get crucified for their anticompetative practices so I can freely choose the OS my business uses.
How you finding protonmail compared to Gmail? The thing I like about Gmail is I can find shit in my endless history....I also love the calendar integration.
Alt: a single pane comic in which a person says to another person: "silicate chemistry is second nature to us geochemists, so it's easy to forget that the average person probably only knows the formulas for olivine and one or two feldspars.
The other person says: "and quartz, of course"
The first person replies: "of course."
The caption to the comic reads "even when they're trying to compensate for it, experts in anything wildly overestimate the average person's familiarity with their field"
In 1885 the legal age of consent in the UK was raised to 16. The average life expectancy of adults had barely changed.
So while this disproves your correlation theory, it's also important to remind the reader that correlation is not the same as causation. Society, the role of government, the rule of law and its encroachment on personal choice changed hugely from the 13th Century and 17th Century - I would therefore claim that society would not have been accepting of paedophilia in the 13th Century despite the lack of law.
Sexual desire of prepubescent children has, as far as I know, never been considered the norm.
Ukraine gave up its nuclear arms on the guarantee of security from Russia. Russia has violated that guarantee by invading them.
Putin can end the war today.
US can not end the war today. Even if it left Ukraine alone, Ukraine would still fight to the end.
EU can not end the war today. See above.
The fastest and easiest way to end the bloodshed is for Russia to withdraw today.
Leaving Ukraine to defend itself wouldn't even end the bloodshed. After Russia has completed its revised objectives it would invade the entirety of Ukraine under newer revised objectives. Then it would invade other neighbours under other revised objectives. The bloodshed would continue until the USSR is reformed and a new cold war begins.
Those suggesting the only way to end the bloodshed is through capitulation to the aggressor need to study their history better to see that capitulation to the aggressor never stopped an aggressor, it just lead to them going further until stopped.
Imagine if the USA invaded Mexico - no one would be saying Mexico should end the bloodshed. And the USA's adversaries sure as hell would be doing everything they can to help Mexico.
For those in the back: Putin withdrawing from his war of aggression is the only known way to end the bloodshed today. All other solutions would result in further bloodshed.
Ah right over my head haha....I usually get people calling me a tankie or socialist or fascist or whatever I lose track...im just your run of the mill European lefty in reality.
To some people in some places Facebook is actually necessary in order to have a social life or run a business.
We all know Facebook would die if it charged for access, because it would lose its ubiquity that makes it necessary for some people.
What would actually be good is if instead of charging for privacy, they charged for enhanced features - similar to how discord charges for Nitro (I am not defending discord, just using their payment model as an example)
The problem with that payment model though is then you have to actually develop features people want to pay for. And we all know Facebook is creatively bankrupt.

And likely the US would eventually intervene once both sides had slugged it out for a while, ensuring they have a seriously compromised enemy and seriously dependent allies...and enrich themselves in the process.
