What does the S in VS Studio stand for?

NO.

SATA(N) IS BANISHED FROM THIS HOUSE

Edit: wait actually this is dumb. Isn't every single modern drive IDE, as in they have their controller onboard? The 40 pin connector is PATA

IIRC Apple drives, like those in the Mac Studio, use a version of NVMe that doesn’t have the controller onboard which is why they were so hard to reverse engineer.

That's "Bare" NVMe, the linux kernel supports such devices but I really fail to see the fucking point™

Apple of course probably did so to fuck the consumer

I was a master at origami-ing the shit out of them to route them while avoiding blocking airflow…

I swear the manufacturing tolerances for molex were "fuck it, looks about right" based on some connectors I had to use.

I sure don't miss having to move the stupid jumpers for master/slave drives and then losing one of the bastards and having to try and jam a paperclip alongside the pins with some scotch tape to insulate it. Cable select was always a lie.

Don't forget SCSI termination. There was always some extra piece of junk you needed to make it all work. No wonder we all have "the box" in the basement/attic with all the extra cables squirreled away.

Now you take a tiny board a little bigger than a stick of gum, and press it onto the motherboard. Smaller footprint than a DIMM, mind-blowing amounts of solid-state storage. Drives? Naw, we just have chips where the "1"s stick around after you turn it off.

Wow, I had forgotten doing this. Amazing. I remember seeing m.2 drives probably 5 years after they came out and going wtf is this thing. I'll be dead soon jim

I excitedly told my girlfriend who's big into PC overclocking that my SSD does 500mb/s. Hers is one of these newfangled M.2. NVMe drives does 5000mb/s. She also asked me if a mechanical hard drive does around 500mb/s too... I'm like 25 and right there with ya.

You kids have "serial" ATA? Ohhhh, watch this. Imma shoot these bits down this set of wires. Simultaneously.

I think it's about the Integrated Drive Electronics interface standard created by Western Digital, not some nerd shit.

IDE Master Slave Month

No….

Wait ..!!! It wasn’t meant like that!!!

The IDE standard was used to connect hard drives and optical drives in from the late 80’s to the mid 00’s. Also known as ATA, it was renamed Parallel ATA when its successor, Serial ATA (SATA) came onto the scene.

IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) is the more commonly known name for what was also called Parallel AT Attachment (shortened from Parallel AT Bus Attachment).

The newer drive standard, SATA means Serial AT Attachement.

PATA + Attaboy = Parallel ATA Boy

You said “Thanks!” (Attaboy) twice in two separate comments (parallel).

Yes - I understand explaining a joke ruins it and the fact that it needed to be explained means it wasn’t a very good joke in the first place.

"Integrated development environment" was thhe first thing I thought of personally.

Could also be thinking of Integrated Development Environment, the program software developers spend most of their days using. (Combining a text editor, file manager, compiler, and debugger.)

I guess I'm very out of the loop!

Fortunately I know that a folder is an envelope that contains multiple papers, and files mean papers that refer to something specific. And all of these can be put on top of your computer, which most people do because the big computer box is flat and good for storing things on it.

I mean seriously, people don't know this?

Guess the BDSM folks with their Master/Slave relationships are included in Pride.

I've used them to extend arduino connectors in the past. Works great.

Better hang onto them for another 10 years, you'll never know when IDE makes a comeback.

Thats a terrible idea you might need those for some reason in the future and the only way to assure you don't is by keeping them forever and making them your next of kins problem.
