Why do my windows upgrades never run this smoothly?
No, back in those days these were very much hardware/firmware based. It's a decade before the SD standard.
It's also from a period where Windows machines were riddled witb viruses that spread by USB. This prevented your drive from getting infected.
This is probably my favourite metal flashdrive of all time. I had a 1GB of the first generation and then later another usb3 one of 32GB
These days I carry one of these on my keychain.
Surprisingly fast given the size. Will do 300MB/s sequential read. About 90MB/s write
I use medicat/ventoy on it with windows 11 , debian and linux mint ISOs on it.
One of these took me through university in 2002
I really miss the hardware read only switch.
Computer labs did not have front USB back in those days, so we had to choose between floppies or diving under the desks. I was in the diver club.
32MB was massive for documents at the time. It could hold your entire academic life back then.

In the future your robot waiter will be a Asian working for 6 cents an hour.
Until it's wings "Snaps".
Ubuntu does so much good, this is one thing I wish they would abandon.
Or at minimum, not have it as the default option.
Sounds like a fun time.
Exactly. LLM makes you do the same stupid shit, but faster and with more intensity.
Its not AIs fault, its advertising based SEOs fault. Search has been broken for years for many topics.

Its chronic underinvestment in engineering to "maximize shareholder value" for a decade before AMD launched Zen. Then Intel got 5 years behind on engineering, and have only managed to get 2 of those 3 caught up. The newest tile based architecture only just matches the performance of AMD's 3 year old AM4 architecture.
