It's fairly common knowledge that SSDs outperform HDDs in both sequential and random reads, and while the file size & number of files have an impact, it doesn't negate this difference.

A quick search confirmed that SSDs perform better in your scenario than HDDs. I don't care enough to spend time finding proper references, because again - this is simply common knowledge.

Of course SSDs are still much faster reading massive amounts of tiny files than HDDs are. Obviously random read speeds are much, much better, but even sequential reads of tiny files are a lot faster.

If you disagree, please provide numbers or references.

Of course it's ridiculous and untrue. You can't "just" develop a game like Assassins Creed 2.

Yet HDDs were also much slower than SSDs

What about butt-chugging them?

What's the deal with bees? They work like busy bees and produce honey for us, but we don't pay them anything. It's the bees knees! But what if they stopped working for free?

And what's the deal with airplane bees?

Soups would be great if they weren't so wet

While those are definitely the undertones, I'm 99.9% sure that Jerry Seinfeld never thought that far. He just came up with a plot about bees.

And this dichotomy makes it a real piece of art.

I'm not aware of really any small developers pulling stunts like Ubisoft is doing. And there's always the option to limit new laws to bigger publishers, like the EU is doing with the DMA.

The art argument is not nonsense, not sure where you get the idea. Games like Assassin's Creed 2 have influenced many people in their design choices for their own games.

And of course there's something wrong when a company takes away access to singleplayer games you bought, just because they use always-online DRM and don't want to pay for the servers. These games don't take away space from new games, it's a ridiculous idea that them dying off is improving the situation for new games. It's also ridiculous to think "hey, someone can just develop a game like the old one!".

How is it selfishness to want to keep the product you bought? To preserve things that contribute to art and culture?

The game is literally called "FTL: Faster Than Light". If you search for "ftl game", all the search results are about this game. This is a non-issue.

I'd argue it's a great indicator, as expenses are necessarily tied to the wages of the population. An example like yours simply doesn't happen.

This means you have to come up with a representative example of how to calculate expenses, and I haven't seen a better approach for that than median wage, which seems to correlate highly with expenses.

Of course it's possible. The minimum wage doesn't directly affect the median wage (unless more than half the population only gets the minimum wage).

If you think it's impossible, please explain why.

Yeah, can't recommend Aurora enough. It's awesome to have literally 0 driver issues, since the system image already contains the drivers pre-installed.

Yes, this so much!

The installation guide is not good, and it's annoying on Fedora since it's blocked by SELinux, but it's worth it for the amazing experience. Such a good expansion for an amazing game.

AFAIK the Crowdstrike issue wasn't a driver update, just virus definitions outside the driver, so your method wouldn't have helped.

You say:

Humans need nutrition and vitamins found in meat. Without them they get health issues or die.

I reply that billions of vegetarians exist without health issues, proving that humans don't need nutrition and vitamins found in meat.

You reply that many omnivores exist without issues as well, which is a non-sequitur. Why was that your reply?

So? That somehow means the vegetarians don't exist?

There are literally billions of vegetarians in the world who don't have health issues.
